Okay, everyone knows guns are literal weapons. Not everyone has the time to look into things and develop an anticorporate opinion to the point simply using a service is a loaded weapon and simply using it is cause enough for “no sympathy, sucks to be you!” when they have trouble with it. Maybe this might make them change their minds eventually, but even if it doesn’t… this seems a bit more blaming the victim. Get angry at the corporation, not the person who wasn’t born believing corporations bad. If I fail to lock my door, that is probably unwise of me, but everyone should be more mad at the thief for stealing from me in the first place.

Ooh, a PeerTube embed… nice to see Fediverse services getting used

Eh, I thought different moderation philosophies were allowed, and as far as I know excluding commercial news is different from the rest given I avoid most tech communities because of all the tech-related-but-not-about-the-tech-itself articles. But my avoidance also means I have not touched every tech community, so if there is one that shares this moderation philosophy I get it.

I clicked [email protected] and at least by the sidebar it seems to intend to be that, though not too active, and I had to go report an opinion piece I agree with that got tons of upvotes even though the rules say no opinion pieces.

Lovely article.

You’ll also need to approach this guide with an open-mind. If you start off angry or feel like this is an attack on you for using (and maybe even enjoying!) GitHub, then you should come back once you’re in a better headspace. This is merely a detailed guide on how to achieve a solid set of feature parity between GitHub and SourceHut.

I didn’t feel attacked at all till I read this, ironically. The rest of the article made me go right back to feeling unattacked.

Most of my games work right out of the box, and the ones that have problems are ones that I’d also have to fiddle with for more than a 1-minute check to ProtonDB are ones I’d have to fiddle with on Windows. However I also do not touch anything with online multiplayer or anticheat, and I know games with kernel-level anticheat tend to not handle Linux well on anything but a Steam Deck.

I swapped a PC I had mostly for gaming over to Linux. I’m having a pretty nice time.

As for piracy, I know pirated games that need to be emulated because they are originally Nintendo Switch games or something work well. No idea for pirated PC games.

For what it’s worth, if you didn’t tell me English wasn’t your first language, I would not have known from this comment.

I shoot for this but am detectable by constantly making edits to make my point more understandable, adding something relevant that I thought of later (literally editing this post right now to include “adding something relevant that I thought of later”) or to correct typos.

Stenberg, saying that he’s “had it” and is “putting my foot down on this craziness,” suggested that every suspected AI-generated HackerOne report will have its reporter asked to verify if they used AI to find the problem or generate the submission. If a report is deemed “AI slop,” the reporter will be banned. “We still have not seen a single valid security report done with AI help,” Stenberg wrote.

I appreciate this because I’d hate to get my issue removed as AI slop because I wasn’t enough of an asshole and didn’t make enough English mistakes. All for rejecting AI slop but it’d feel bad being the false positive deemed “not human enough” and getting my efforts tossed out too.

I may or may not be one of those autistic people who tried to compensate for my social deficiencies and inability to read the room by doing my best to be polite, nice, and inoffensive. (It helps that those qualities do not conflict with who I want to be at all.) And “nice and inoffensive” helps you easily subclass/multiclass into corpo dialect…

[email protected] for programming books would like this

If you want to learn the stuff necessary for that certification, here’s a document, the WAS Body of Knowledge listing what you need to know and maybe where you can learn that. Less detailed version in the WAS Exam Content Outline.

Seeing a lot of posts like this did help push me to actually make the switch instead of just talking about doing it someday.

could you tell me what book it is 👀

I’m probably part of the problem because I got the survey on my Mac and not my Linux machine…

I’d definitely like that as a programming.dev user. I like to see topic-specific instances used for that topic, and to have lots of communities about that topic.

Same, I’d prefer to see this from programming.dev. Subbed anyways, because aside from changing my wallpaper I left my PC at a totally default look and would like to pressure myself to change it by following this community.

I figure this community could benefit from an ad in the many Linux communities on Lemmy.

Might be worth telling the various datahoarder communities on Lemmy

would probably be welcome in [email protected]

taking apps meant for one thing and using them for something else is my favorite thing

even if this is still very related because it’s physical activity timing

Made me curious if Torvalds at least got some reward for his work besides gratitude from people who use his stuff. I’m not sure how credible internet estimates of net worth are but looking up “Linus Torvalds net worth” keeps showing me stuff from $50–$150 million so hey, at least he’s (probably) comfortable. Not exactly Tony Stark superhero territory but if he wasn’t rich enough to sit at home and sleep for the rest of his life if he wanted to I’d probably be upset on his behalf for a bit, before I moved onto the next outrage of the day. Glad to see he’s well-off.
