A box shaped computer? so pedestrian, mine is a hyperbolic paraboloid.

Defeatism just benefits them. We don’t need it.

It’s not defeatism btw, it’s opposition to the idea that people should have a say if their content is used to train an LLM.

Does systemd print much once it’s fully running? Checking my log the only chatty thing is networkmanager doing wifi scanning, 4 separate state change log messages per scan.

Yeah any decision would be on a case by case basis, which is normally something you’d want to avoid.

I’ve seen a couple of Linux devs talk about how they just give a prompt to claude and walk away leaving it alone to spit out the code, none of which can be licensed as GPL. But good luck working out what specific lines of what specific patches of theirs used an LLM vs. were re-written or such.

According to the dev, the biggest challenge was that the Motorola 68000 lacks a Memory Management Unit. So, a standard Linux setup with virtual memory would not work. Luckily, Linux still supports m68k systems without an MMU by using the uClinux/NOMMU option and a flat memory model.

I was honestly expecting it to be weirder hardware, turns out it’s a configuration the kernel already supports. Still neat, but somehow a bit of a letdown.

The DSP stuff is cool though, that’s sufficiently weird for me.

I’d call that plain engineering; you’ve separated out the independent logic from the point where it actually touches the system. That’s how stuff should be built and operate.

Try Ctrl+Shift+u followed by the hex value and then enter (e.g. 263A for ☺)

Reminds me of a local pro-privacy group I came across a while back, whose only public online presence was a Facebook group.

Like I get it from a “reach” standpoint, and I think it’s fine if you’re following a POSSE system, but I feel a lot of people don’t do that.

Are you talking about firmware?

Who are these people who think drivers can’t be open source?

I think it’s mostly maintenance issues, the maintainers being employees of the company that originally wrote and donated the driver, so there’s been a backlog of bugs that have sat unfixed.

This new driver on the other hand builds off the preexisting kernel support for NTFS, and the maintainer seems better equipped to respond to bugs in a timely manner.

Nah, storage is fried.

People always focus on systemd whenever this is posted, but all systemd is saying is that it can’t read the service files when it tries to start something. Earlier on the kernel is complaining about I/O errors as well.

I bet the actual logo display is a full screen browser too, multiple computers each running chrome just to display ads.

Depending on the output device it’s still using ALSA underneath (e.g. Bluetooth output instead is given to the BT stack), PipeWire is dealing with managing and routing the audio output rather than actually performing it.

Yeah, we have mDNS for a reason.

Or even just link the DHCPv6 server to the DNS, that’s the default config in most cases anyway.

The laws they’re trying to support require very limited information, but they’re storing far more than that and they’ve actively decided not to protect it properly.

All systemd is storing is the DOB in YYYY-MM-DD format.

Or you just mark your account as an adult, all the california law requires is effectively parental controls to be available, you can just not enable them.

It definitely looks like it’s going to be a standard USB HID type device, if their SDL support is anything to go by.

Windows is pretty much the same as Linux, it exposes the raw events from the device and it’s up to the app to handle them. Pretty sure the overlay handles that by sitting between the OS and the game and e.g. translating everything to Xbox style controls if the game needs it (And getting out of the way if it doesn’t)

Outside of that, well Valve added support for the controller to SDL, so anything using it will be fully supported. But then the game needs to actually be using a new enough version of SDL, otherwise it’ll just see a generic controller device, and that can be hit or miss.

It’s been a few years since I used a Mac, but even then resource forks weren’t something you’d see outside of really old apps or some strange legacy use case, everything just used extended attributes or “sidecar” files (e.g. .DS_Store files in the case of Finder)

Unlike Windows or Linux, macOS takes care to preserve xattrs when transferring the files, e.g. their archiver tool automatically converts them to sidecar AppleDouble files and stores them in a __MACOS folder alongside the base file in the archive, and reapplies them on extraction.

If course nothing else does that, so if you’ve extracted a zip file or whatever and found that folder afterwards, that’s what you’re looking at.
