If an Arch linux user hasn’t told anybody they use it, are they really using it?

The hate is towards the community members that spam “arch btw” and telling new users to install arch.

Sign ups without admin checks are a great attribute to use for defederation, because it leads to such abuse. I’ve finally blocked most communities and instances that have news about US politics and have a clean feed, but for newcomers, that shit is everywhere.
I agree, it’s unfortunate that they are only focusing on improving their way of having fun and being distracted from real world issues (necessary but shouldn’t stop them from fulfilling their democratic duties). However, if stop killing games is successful, it might make this way of influencing policy visible to others probably less interested in politics.
I signed all of those BTW. Had done so a while ago.
Did you watch pirategames shilling for the big studios? He doesn’t even propose solutions or start his own petition. He just complains about how it would impact poor old him in some theoretical scenario.
Don’t fall for it. It’s like a poor person complaining about taxes for the rich because they might get rich someday (probably never). Rich people have to pay their fair share and gamedevs should stop making games that die when you unplug a server. They did before, they can do it again. They don’t want to because subscriptions make more steady money.
Don’t be a shill.
Might this become the fastest petition to reach the requirements?
IINM, just because a country reaches the threshold, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t stop going. It would also be sufficient to have 1M signatures in 7 countries.

People will never learn, will they? You give them AP and they go for the Jack Dorsey clone. Amazing
3·1 month agoBut the most recent statistics showed why wind and solar are on track in 2024 to exceed coal generation for an entire calendar year
…
EIA previously reported that renewable generation eclipsed coal in 2020 and 2022 and then repeated the feat in 2023. But those figures notably included other resources such as hydropower. Now wind and solar are posed to overtake coal on their own.
I thought they were blocked everywhere. What’s going on? Bunch of bots or something?

Some people just don’t have a sense of humor 🤷♂
I spent the day yesterday trying to get kubuntu to update to the new LTS on a friend’s laptop. All because plasma5 was being slow at login. Well, after a few hours, it was finally updated and we spent another 2 trying to find out why plasma6 was now slow.
The whole time I was thinking “why the hell did the update require the command-line” and “this feels like punching myself in the face”. I wanted a quiet, productive saturday and spent it on linux instead.
Ubuntu is not ready for non-technical folk in these cases. Without me as support, my friend would’ve been lost on the “most user-friendly distro”.
Linux is amazing tech and the ecosystem built around it is better than windows and mac for many things, but still fails at random, supposedly simple tasks. Yes, windows and mac too, but it’s much more visible on linux.
Matt Parker also wrote a linux driver himself! Much respect.
I think it’s all but certain that they’d want user’s computers to to boot into something they made, or at the very least, slapped their branding all over, even if that was only a wrapper for their web browser.
Oh yeah, absolutely. They might even make Edge send some additional data to verify that it’s the browser being used. They might even add attestation with a binary is pinging Microsoft with messages signed by a microsoft private unique per machine and generated when the user signs in. They could add a paid subscription to limit the number of devices connecting to the cloud instance. For an extra fee they could add connection “from any device or browser”.
Or or or. There are a bunch of things they can do. They could also, as I said, just allow any browser to connect, but looking back, yeah, that’s probably naive.
Who knows and who knows how fast (or slow) governments would react.
Hmmmm, I think you interpreted my comment as microsoft trying to make dual booting impossible? I meant it wouldn’t be necessary anymore, because one would just require linux with a browser to access windows if need be.
The simplest way I can imagine to forcefully disable dualbooting is do what Malus does: control the hardware and only allow one signed OS on there. Don’t trust anything else.
We just have to wait until Windows 12, the cloud OS, and dual boot will be no more. All that’ll be necessary is a browser and a fast internet connection. CoD and Valorant players though… dunno what to do about them. Pro gaming won’t be possible without running windows locally to get the highest framerate.
Wow, that’s pretty cool. For some reason I can’t even find @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy on programming.dev. Maybe the domain is banned or something…
Yeah, I can see that. It’s still publicity 👍
Maybe the driver should have compilation flags per supported GPU. No need to load a bunch of that isn’t even relevant. Also, now large in bytes is that damn think if it take 10 seconds to load? 🫠
