Nvidia is breaking their graphics driver. Rolling release distros just get fucked by it
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 2 weeks ago:
I think that it’s mostly just Lemmy being less dominated by native English speakers. Many of those mistakes that seem baffling “make sense” in some other languages

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard, just ask. I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
[Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?
Zuck: People just submitted it.
Zuck: I don’t know why.
Zuck: They “trust me”
Zuck: Dumb fucks

At least they’ll never find a complicit management. Still it doesn’t matter, I’m going to enjoy this space while it’s nice :)

Exactly what the big platforms want, and exactly what’s different about Lemmy. Low-volume, high-quality interactions

I know for certain the CEO at my company is like that. Not even how or why to do something, but what we should do. Fucking mental

I am actually glad I started my photography experience in film. Really taught me to think about framing and timing before hitting the shutter

- Comment on Power is not energy: why the difference matters [Technology Connections] 4 weeks ago:
How are energy and power “loose terms”? Energy might be difficult to fully explain rigorously, but it’s one of the fundamental elements of our universe. And power is just energy over time

- Comment on 'Writing is on the wall for spinning rust': IBM joins Pure Storage in claiming disk drives will go the way of the dodo in enterprises 1 month ago:
Note that for HDDs, it doesn’t matter if they’re powered or not. The platter is not “energized” or refreshed during operation like an SSD is. Your best bet is to have some kind of parity to identify and repair those bad bits.
- Comment on 'Writing is on the wall for spinning rust': IBM joins Pure Storage in claiming disk drives will go the way of the dodo in enterprises 1 month ago:
Sorry dude, but bit rot is a very real thing on HDDs. They’re magnetic media, which degrades over time. If you leave a disk cold for 2-5 years, there’s a very good chance you’ll get some bad sectors. SSDs aren’t immune from bit rot, but that’s not through quantum tunneling - not any more than your CPU is affected by it at least.

- Comment on Hexbear has moved 2 months ago:
It’s not really though. Sure, you can AXFR the root nameservers and run your own copy, but that’s not really decentralizing its infrastructure. 10 of the 13 root servers are managed by US entities, including the US Army and DISA.

- Comment on The Internet Archive’s Fight to Save Itself 6 months ago:
You’re right, I apologize, my use of “infringing copyright” was too loose there. What I meant in that context is more like “stealing and then re-selling the identity and essence of every human creation to ever be made into ones and zeros”
- Comment on The Internet Archive’s Fight to Save Itself 6 months ago:
Welcome to my point: there’s no such thing. You always have to go through national courts, with reasons that sometimes defeat logic: if you hold copyright in several countries, you can pretty much pick and choose the legislature that is most advantageous to your case. Take this recent one: an Icelandic company sued an Icelandic artist for slander… In UK court. The “legal” basis was that the website was hosted on a .co.uk domain, but I’m sure that the strict UK slander laws and astronomical costs of its courts had nothing to do with it. Not a copyright case, I know, but I think it’s a good example of how laws and jurisdictions get fundamentally twisted when applied to the Internet. I think anyone can agree that it should’ve been settled in an Icelandic court.

Yeah, no. The ICJ handles disputes between nations. It has literally nothing to do with copyright.
