Okay there Satan, want to start world war 3 do we?
MOBAs have an ability to draw out my rage like nothing else 😄

I hope you’re not raw dogging torrenting Linux ISOs with some form of protection.

That’s good to know! Glad not everyone is having issues with Wayland :)

It’s a shell that allows you to easily run different terminals applications and environments in tabs. With some nice cosmetic options to boot.

The last thing I was excited for was their new terminal announcement youtu.be/8gw0rXPMMPE. Something I wish actually ran on Linux 😅
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 2 days ago:
What are you talking about? They weren’t talking about the large majority, they’re explicitly talking about the minority who needs accessibility tools to use a computer. I personally don’t know what these deficiencies are, but i can imagine with Wayland’s strong security focus, screen readers would be busted.

Is it the Multipeer Connectivity you’re talking about? I’ve never heard of it before. It does seem like something that could be used to track users.

Colloquially crypto means crypto currencies or NFTs like bitcoin, not normal encryption.
- Comment on Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin 1 week ago:
Their stance on default privacy and sticking a finger to law enforcement is leagues above both Microsoft and Google/Android. So far at least.

Yeah that looks cool. I will give it a closer look tomorrow :)

- Comment on Termix 1.8.0 has been released. 1 week ago:
Cool, I’ll check this out. Always a bit of a ball ache when I need to access the server while lying in and too lazy to get up. Using vim on a phone is always an adventure in patience.
- Comment on Scurvy ain't nothing to fuck with 1 week ago:
I’m always amused by Eminem’s line in “Without Me”. “Little kids feeling rebellious, Embarrassed their parents still listen to Elvis”.
Any parents here with gen z kids who can chip in? 😄
- Comment on Passkeys Explained: The End of Passwords 1 week ago:
That doesn’t sound like a TOTP vs passkey situation though. It sounds like the program just releases the passkey when you give it the fingerprint. There wouldn’t be anything stopping the program from generating a OTP and passing that along when you identify with the fingerprint.
I think a big issue is how difficult it can seem to be to get easy access to TOTP codes, like in your example digging up your phone. But that’s more of a browser/operating system failure for not implementing a way to generate those codes like they can already store usernames and passwords.

But that was the entire point from the first reply. If you don’t trust external hosts, there is nothing for you.
- Comment on Long-time iOS user considering switch to Android - Need advice on $1000 flagships 2 weeks ago:
A friend of mine showed me their nothing phone, one with the glyph lights in the back. It wouldn’t have been an expensive version, but even so the back plate felt very plasticy. Is that still the case with them?
- Comment on YSK: you can stop Microsoft users from sending 'reactions' to your email by adding a "x-ms-reactions: disallow" header 2 weeks ago:
A simple indication on the email in the sidebar list would be fine. A whole ass new email is just a bit much.

For an ELI5 explanation, this is what happens when you lower the bit rate: youtu.be/QEzhxP-pdos
No matter the resolution you have of the video, if the amount of information per frame is so low that it has to lump different coloured pixels together, it will look like crap.
- Comment on OpenAI says over a million people talk to ChatGPT about suicide weekly 3 weeks ago:
Why play games if you’re not interested in them? Or don’t have the energy to play. Not so easy to “chill” if you’ll be kicked out your house next week. Lost your job? Bah, just chill and game.
What an absolutely brain dead thing to say.
- Comment on How AI and Wikipedia have sent vulnerable languages into a doom spiral 4 weeks ago:
No one is saying those who can’t access or reqd English wikipedia is inferior. The issue here is when what is on a non-english wikipedia article is misleading or flat out harmful (like the article says about growing crops), because of juvenile attempts at letting machine translations getting it very wrong. So what Greenland did was shut down its poorly translated and maintained wiki site instead of letting it fester with misinformation. And this issue compounding when LLMs scrape Wikipedia as a source to learn new languages.
- Comment on How AI and Wikipedia have sent vulnerable languages into a doom spiral 4 weeks ago:
I understand you’re trying to be nice to minority languages, but if you write research papers you either limit your demographic to your own country, or you publish in English (I guess Spanish is pretty world wide as well). If you set out to read a new paper in your field, I doubt you’d pick up something in Mongolian.
Even in Sweden I would write a serious paper in English, so that more of the world could read it. Yes, we have text books for our courses that are in Swedish, but i doubt there are many books covering LLMs being published currently for example.
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 4 weeks ago:
Definitely. If you have a second one it’s very safe to try out a full Linux install.
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 4 weeks ago:
Two separate disks. The issue is that windows likes to overwrite or otherwise mess with the boot loader if it’s not the default windows one.
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 4 weeks ago:
You’re generally safe if you 1) install them on two different disks and 2) if you’re installing windows later, unplug any drives you don’t want to use with windows. Microsoft likes to poke all drives it can see during installation even if you don’t touch them.

Now that is some number conspiracy I can get behind!
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 1 month ago:
It’s both project lead by two different problematic people that Framework are sponsoring.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 1 month ago:
Or, you know, they are sponsoring a) a white supremacists who believes in the white replacement conspiracy theory who’s in charge of omarchy and b) the project lead of (not just a discord mod) of hyperland. Two awful people that Framework absolutely deserve flack for supporting.
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 1 month ago:
Them blocking VPNs is a bit much though. At that point I don’t feel like it’s their responsibility.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Compared to something multi threaded, yes. But there are obviously a number of bottlenecks that might diminish the gains of a multi threaded program.

Unfortunate you can’t notice the buttery smoothness if 60+ fps.
