It means whatever the shareholders wanna hear, because they slobber each others knob for literally fucking anything, that sounds like it’ll make money from a pump and dump

I’ve been using the same tube of Arctic mx-4 for a decade now, and it has yet to fail me

Because they would gaslight half the 6a owners into upgrading their phone this way

Is this a Dell machine or something similar? It’s not impossible that the internal battery has run dry, and it reset the UEFI settings. A lot of setups would refuse to work if internal storage mode has switched from AHCI to hardware RAID

Ubislop need to be reminded that if you make a shit product, with a legally abusive EULA, no one owes you anything. You will go out of business, and we’ll applaud as your headquarters are repossessed by the real estate company

I would understand forcibly banning/removing something, if it poses a real existential threat to the majority of people.

But religion fueled bigotry, in a place where you can CHOOSE to buy and play something, or completely ignore and hide if you’d like? Come on. Adults can decide if they want to have access to this content on their own, without a completely unrelated third party constantly trying to fucking inject themselves in between

I find it really fascinating, how these people think everything is a complete non-issue, unless money is involved. The society can fuck itself, but if their bank account is at risk, then it’s scorched earth time

The entire complaint was based on nothing too. They claimed he’s orchestrating some crazy financial scheme, and getting paid 6 digits from it, when he’s not only doing it for free, but can’t even participate in the initiative to begin with

Japanese corporations overwork people to literal death, but at least you’re not going to be laid off 2 months into a new job. Not as big of a flex as they think it is

x as a service has always been a net negative for the consumer, and a net positive for the seller.

It strips them away from responsibility, because you can sell incomplete dogshit under a promise of future patches, or push something out for a price, and then continue raising the price, as you pump out more stuff into the system.

In the case of games specifically, we’ve all seen the typical outcomes. Low effort slop, with a flood of “micro” transactions at a later date, or complete abandonment

Having played both, the answer is definitely yes. They’re not particularly long, but really solid

I’ve really enjoyed this game, but haven’t bought the first expansion yet though. This one looks quite cool too!

They’ve actually done the exact opposite. The lobbying, the import laws, the absence of a foreign export market, and the manufacturing of cars that would never pass safety laws anywhere else, all resulted in the kind of dogshit that Americans have to experience now. Why improve if you’re the only player

They can keep this privacy invading dogshit to themselves

We’re talking about a population, where a 1/3lbs burger was rejected for being smaller than the 1/4lbs. But even besides that, the fear-mongering, and the propaganda, have clearly worked

This is a good example of what people consistently overlook/misunderstand, when it comes to Nix.

Obviously you can remount a /home, or just pull the dotfiles from a personal repo, but the strength of Nix is also in that I can re-create my entire config exactly how it is defined. If i were to setup a machine completely from scratch, with a mature enough config, it will get me from 0 to my exact desktop completely unattended.

But there are also many more advantages to it, at least in my eyes. Let’s take trying/tweaking new packages as an example. Yesterday I pulled an old repo for an Outer Wilds mod. The thing needs a dev environment, and a mod manager for the actual game. A nix shell got me both, I finished my work, and when I exit out of fish, both are gone, just as I wanted them to be.

Another good example would be partial os updates. I’ve used Arch for almost 9 years before switching to Nix, and pretty much a top3 Arch rule is not doing partial updates, or partial rollbacks. In case of a breakage, I would have to manually redownload an older version of a tarball, pacman -U the package, and then hope i’m not cooked. In the case of gcc incompatibilities, it can quickly become a massive pain in the ass. My nix flake would never experience this problem, because I already have two different scenarios available - either i build based on an older lockfile from my git repo, or I create an overlay for a specific input I need, so that it still pulls what it needs, and doesn’t interfere with the rest of my system

Lawmakers are grappling with how to address …

Just a reminder that the government is actively voting against regulations on AI, because obviously a lot of these people are pocketing lobbyist money

Snake oil salesmen are claiming their product is something it’s not, more at 11

Correct. Atomic distros don’t apply the update, unless it is ready to be applied successfully all together, usually with an option to restore the previous state, without the need of something like btrfs snapshots.

With Nix(-OS) as an example - your bootloader entry is just a reference a giant list of what you need to get out of the Nix store, to achieve the config you want. Many of those can coexist in the same system as a result, including different versions of the same package

This setup won’t really teach you anything different in relation to containers though.

What are they so afraid of? They’re public servants, so they should be publicly identifiable. If they don’t like it, get off the government payroll
