I think the best part of Crowdstrike situation is people explaining all of the other times Crowdstrike has fucked, not through out history but in the past few months. This may possibly be one of coolest and most pointless projects ever made, morse code by closing and opening your laptop https://github.com/veggiedefender/open-and-shut

 Today we talk to Vixea, a developer on various pieces of open source VR tooling like Monado and ALVR to discuss the state they're currently in #Linux #VR #Podcast Video Version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRqz_eXLK2Q Audio Version: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tech-over-tea/episodes/The-State-Virtual-Reality-On-Linux--Vixea-e2m7bv3 The numbers never lie, trust the numbers, believe in the numbers, and the numbers will serve you How many times do I need to say it before developers understand it. If you have opt-out telemetry/analytics and your software targets people who treat digital privacy as a personality trait, those people are going to ignore any of the properties of your system and any justification of its value and call your software spyware.  @BrodieOnLinux yeah but some developers don't think they are targeting the digital privacy minded, they are targeting the general public who don't give a single damn about their product. Who would win in a fight, an absolutely plastered Linus Torvalds or Richard Stallman with a katana?

@BrodieOnLinux stallman with a katana. Linus may be in a drunken rage, plastered out of his mind when attacking Stallman, Stallman in fear would shove the katana right into Linus gut or chest. Honestly, it would not be a very exciting or interesting fight. @BrodieOnLinux Stallman would immediately ask for the steel recipe in the katana and refuse it's use if that wasn't available. While his opponent was distracted by the opportunity to lecture, Torvalds would grab the katana and open Stallman's source... If Blink the engine for Chrome forked off of WebKit, and WebKit forked off of KHTML, the engine from the KDE project, does that mean that KDE is to blame for Chrome. I am legally required to say this is a joke

@BrodieOnLinux I’ve been using LibreWolf lately and it works. I’m not going to say it work to perfection, but it tries its best. I still have to rely on some chromium base browser once in a while because of work, but my main driver is LibreWolf. The modern internet just makes it difficult to navigate. @BrodieOnLinux on my part, I migrated to Firefox on both my Linux and Android devices months ago @BrodieOnLinux been using Firefox on my machines and my grapheneOS phone for awhile now. No issues I'll probably do a Plasma 6.1 stream tomorrow, I've just done some initial playing around and at least for the issues that I care about the desktop seems to just be objectively better In Plasma 6.1 there's now virtual spacing between the monitors, does anyone know where the setting to configure that is located? I can't believe it, VR is actually happening on GNOME, the protocol actually got merged https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3746 Nvidia Looks Towards Linux Kernel Upstream #Linux #YouTube https://youtu.be/8xHLEKl0DDo I think it's neat. We're getting closer to an almost fully FOSS stack on the #NVIDIA side, while getting some nice additions to orchestration. We already have #OCI runtimes and images specifically catered to #CUDA workloads, cutting away fat from orchestration and slimming down images. You can now technically stick a GPU from every vendor into a machine and even share workloads between them. Compute with NVIDIA, doing OpenGL with AMD and transcoding with Intel. Here is the uncomfortable truth about adblocking, yes there will always be a small subset of people who do it but as you put more hurdles in front of people less and less people will do it, this June my ad rates are at least 10% higher than they normally would be and this is with a Linux audience. Google's goal isn't to stop adblocking it's to convince you that adblocking is too much of a challenge to be worth it so that you stop using it willingly, in other words, boil the frog.  You might ask why boil the frog instead of instantly breaking things, I propose 2 explanations: 1. Breaking things that badly is really difficult to ensure success 2. If you piss people off slowly they are a lot less likely to want to group up and protest the change you made Arch Linux Isn't A Beginner Distro But It Was Mine! #Linux #YouTube https://youtu.be/bHkTBeY1E1s Don't forget that the MV3 deprecation hasn't gone anywhere, June 2024 is when Google will begin to disable MV2 extensions, this is supposed to start happening during Chrome 127 which is currently making its way through the dev channel https://developer.chrome.com/blog/resuming-the-transition-to-mv3

 No better time to be supportive to the users of unfortunate #Chromium browsers by directing to something not as contrived. For example, instead of drowning #ManifestV3 altogether we could look at the implementations like Firefox that retain compatibility with #ManifestV2 and don't ruin the effective use of ad blocking features. Way to keep extension development modern, all the while disregarding #Google's terrible mistake. @BrodieOnLinux You know my answer lol.. Why you trying to create your own ?  @BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online i usually name my projects after flowers or nature-related because my name is lily I spent an hour trying to work out why VSCodium wasn't giving me code completion in Rust, turns out I'm a moron and had rust installed instead of rustup the development toolchain  @BrodieOnLinux we'll, I had the same problem a few days ago. Install only rustup from the Arch repos and install a toolchain using it. I had to do some additional configuration, but got it working through lsp-mode. @BrodieOnLinux the Kali linux was fun, but would be more fun if you called out Parrot OS as it is bloated, especially if you compare to Black Arch @BrodieOnLinux I remember reading a post on Mastodon to the tune of openSUSE Tumbleweed somehow being one of the most boring, uninteresting rolling releases possible. This is both a great insult and a great selling point. @BrodieOnLinux much like my OS, my devotion to spreading the good word of Nix is immutable. |
@BrodieOnLinux Wait its actually picture element wtf you learn something new everyday, how did i never learn this is insane to me and i been using computers since 3rd or 4th grade of primary school...
@BrodieOnLinux I am 21 years old

I just found out that pixel is short for picture element 😭
