  Hold on is your veiw that video?/text can not be directly harmful or that nothing on meta platforms is?

  Showing off that Florida education lol.

  Hi I can explain the difference. The three other things you listed are necessary for a multitude of reasons. The current boom in data centers is for a solution in search of a problem wasting shit for no gain to humanity as a whole.

  Hope that helps :3

  Are these mutually exclusive? Also far more people have a CPU with an iGPU than are worried about passing through the GPU to a VM.

  If you can find an app on github you more than qualify.

  I haven’t been hyped for anything like I am for the steam frame in years. Really just the idea Linux might finally be getting proper VR support is more than exciting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubuntu LTS Releases Now Get 15 Years of Support⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a good thing even if you, like me, have a strong distaste for ubuntu/ canonical. The more buisness adopt linux the better.

  Banking apps are something that need to be working before most people will even be able to attempt to switch to a linux phone. If the options are call and be on hold for at least an hour when I probably am working got to a physical location also open only when I’m working or using a banking app that’s available 24/7 the last one is the only viable option for many people.

  After watching this review I am actually going to say yeah probably. The ghosting has gotten way better than I remember it being for real time apps. If youre interested watch the review he goes over most of your use cases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨E Ink goes mobile with budget eye-friendly smartphone⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s the same as past e-ink phones it’ll be slow. But nothing you’re going to do on an e-ink phone is super likely to require that much power anyways unless you are using your phone far differently than I am.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨E Ink goes mobile with budget eye-friendly smartphone⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Man I really am far too into e-ink lol. These aren’t even close to new they have mostly been for the domestic (chinese) market in the past though. Most people who have got one have been happy though because they are exactly as advertised. An e-ink phone.

  Really all of the “classics”. No way apple would have ever dreamed of putting 2Tb of storage in your music player but you can do it because they didn’t specifically make it impossible like they would now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Europe's plan to ditch US tech giants is built on open source - and it's gaining steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if the US tech oligarchs have realized they traded in soft power the world over for hard power that likely will not even last that long by backing a monarch.

  Their proton ran BL4 about 10% faster than Valves for my specific hardware. IDK what they are doing but it might as well be magic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK | Sex offenders to be denied parental responsibility for children born of rape⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Am an american and would like some clarification. Does the effect things like child support at all? Is that a thing in the UK I always assumed it was but through my reading of the article I didn’t see it mentioned but I am a dumbass anday have missed it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ukraine uses British Storm Shadow cruise missiles to strike Russian chemical plant⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like articles with titles like this have the intention of making me go “why would they escalate like that” when my reaction is always. “Good hope they do more things like that. Make the russian public feel like the longer this war goes on the less safe they will be.”

  Might be reading into it too much but it really is the vibe I get from a lot of the russia-ukrain war news.

  Does the context make that better? As it stands that sounds like something Kanye would say.

  I really should pay more attention to firefox news. I’m not even sure what to do in the even mozilla implodes before a new non-chromimium browser actually becomes viable.

  Fingers crossed for ladybird.

  Before I figured out how to turn it off DDG’s (DuckDuckGo) AI usually sourced Wikipedia if there was an article available.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Most people immigrating aren’t freahly 18 even if they were able to keep up with the population decline. Yes there are people on student visas but it’s less than half the number of H1B visas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zelensky urges Trump to end Ukraine war like in 'the Middle East'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe a hot take but from everything I’ve seen zelensky has a decent head on his shoulders. It seems incredibly likely to me hes trying to press trumps buttons in a way that make him step in even if it’s not what he would do otherwise. I think it’s worth trying at the very least when trump is showing signs of moving away from putin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework supporting far-right racists?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a lot more to it. If you’re not using/contributing to hyprland it’s a rabithole I don’t recommend going for time reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework supporting far-right racists?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t even think it’s used in academia aside from linguistics. It’s a legitimatly dead character like æ and & in the original meaning.

  Tracing is absolutely art. You choose what to trace what parts of the image are important what to discard etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thats super cool. Is there a link to view the non drawn over images? I can kinda make out it’s carved into the rock on the first one but the rest are kinda hard to parse the actual carvings in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you secure your home lab? Like, physically? From thieves?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Genuine question how hard would it be to rig some form of self destruct to a drive that has to be deactivated before power is lost to it. Obviously their would be a backup power solution for if mains power was lost but would it be feasible and doable without breaking any laws inherently (eg being a trap and killing the thief).

  I’m not asking for a friend but I also don’t ever plan to use this knowledge I’m just genuinely curious.
