Hell nah this is a Linux community, it’s always the right place

Probably: “oh we already have a -r for xxx, let’s do recursion with -R”

I’m curious; wouldn’t tail refuse to open /dev/zero since it can’t fseek in it ?

I used to have the same issue. Turns out, it was fixed by a firmware update on my motherboard.

Hmmm I don’t really know. You can try with this tutorial I found.

The way I did it, is I checked my motherboard’s website, and saw they posted a recent firmware update.

I used to have some similar issues when playing games, and the cause of it was my motherboard’s firmware. Maybe check and see if it is up to date?

To me, telemetry would be like a sofa company wanting to put some cameras in your home to see if you’re using the sofa the way they thought you would. It just feels… off.

“90% of crashes happen right after the player uses a grenade”.

Imo, a simple opt-in crash report gets the job done. Technically it is telemetry, but a crash report is more justified than a “where have you clicked” report.

telemetry data for software from reputable companies does not get sold

There’s just no trust in companies to not sell my data. I cannot trust Microsoft nor Google nor any other company to not sell my data, having seen the shenanigans every single company is willing to pull off to get a cent more a year.

I’ve discovered Lemmy, which I like a lot, so I wouldn’t return to reddit either.

Although I do miss the large communities, but oh well, hopefully more people will jump ship towards the fediverse.

It has an Oompa-Loompa vibe to it
