They ask for it to store a date today, ask for IDs the next. Heck they already want 3d printers to somehow identify if they’re printing parts that can be used in guns, but 3d printers don’t have that kind of computing power nor should they need that so odds are most companies will require an internet connection and upload to a central server to be analyzed. And thus privacy goes away unintentionally.

It’s way easier to explain to customers “these companies have enterprise commitments and long term support available if needed”, I realize that they all essentially run the same stuff but frankly I can’t guarantee I’m always gonna be the one supporting them and it is an added safety net for when they decide not to upgrade for an eternity. Not to mention just about every VPS provider has at least one of those two options available out of the box, they’re frankly the safe boring choices.

Redhat and Ubuntu are controversial for me. Don’t want them for desktop, but for any professional server I would choose them over any of the others (and preferably alpine for any docker containers running on them)

Yeah, would’ve been better if she adds you to her sudoers file.

I’m not superstycious, but it is a Friday so please don’t jinx an already cursed day…

There hasn’t been much to my knowledge, but thanks to Asahi Linux’s efforts now Fedora ships out if the box with FEX as a solution as of last month (not sure compatibility, performance or ease of install for other distros, just reporting what I’ve heard) :

What else is the pencil brush for? I also turn the opacity of the eraser down to make it more accurate.

My guess is if they’re already investing time and money into the software and hardware to make them functionally self operating, then why go through the extra effort to reinvent the wheel (or truck bed in this case, which would leave the engine out front) if it doesn’t directly accomplish their goal.

That’s weird, because their servers can’t even seem to stay up long enough for any of the ai features in their app. It’s why I gave up on their max subscription because it would require doing conversations and 9 times out of 10 it would just stop listening/processing halfway through.

Why feel bad for him? He did it to himself. I feel bad for the workers who are probably gonna be fired, but that’s about it…

This feels like the most toxic type of love triangle possible

Yeah, the problem was not the original copyright law which gave incentive for coming up with new ideas by giving you rights to that idea for long enough that you can be profitable, the problem is that it’s been extended to the point that the people who came up with the idea are long dead and it’s still under copyright for massive corporations.

Yeah, I used a 1070 on arch for years without any issue, recently switched over to an Intel arc gpu and that gave me way more problems (admittedly most of it was my “fault” for being on an old mbr scheme, needing to enable rebar, and needing to switch from xorg to wayland… but that’s just what happens when a graphics card is so stable you don’t feel the need to reinstall your os or change anything major). I am not hired by Nvidia nor do I support their business practices when it comes to making development on Linux difficult or creating proprietary standards like cuda, just stating my personal experience with their drivers.

Just a heads up that you probably “agreed” to binding arbitration…

Oof, didn’t know magic 8 balls ran Windows. Maybe a plan 9 ball would be less biased?

I’m guessing because it was more of a 70s hippy idea: free sharing of love, drugs and cryptographic keys

Server farms are the real money maker. Doesn’t matter the fad, they’ll need processing power from somewhere.

Exactly, who would put a rebugged version into production anyway?

Yup, and they’re run on an estimated 8.5 million test machines

Ironically this is probably the result of someone using ChatGPT to write their job listing
