Gentoo recompiles everything, so it can do optimisations based on your particular setup Arch can’t.

Not happening unless a major economy forces Google to give it away.

Their business depends on being able to sabotage adblockers.

It’s Microslop’s Artificial Idiocy

I think he means that the coworker said “scroll up” to mean the virtual page moving up - I.e. when the viewport scrolls down.

Besides what Ephera@lemmy.ml said, you would also need to handle the escalation at every place you might have a permission related error. Unless your command alwaysneeds to run as root, so you can check once in the beginning, it would be cumbersome and error prone.

Also, sometimes in multi users environments, you might want to execute as 3rd user, not root or your own, if something fails.

The weak link on Linux is the number of tools that trained the users to curl ... | bash

This and the recent Wine patches to support Photoshop’s installer might open the door to Linux becoming viable for graphic designers.

Really good news on that front this week.

Cinnamon.

Deutsche Rentenversicherung should send you an estimate of how much pension money you are going to receive every year. Assume that is optimistic, but a good baseline. I assume the matching program you mentioned is a Betriebliche Altersvorsorge (bAV)? Those usually also tell you how much they will pay you as a minimum, and another estimate based on normal economic growth.

Chances are that those together will not be enough to match your wage at retirement. So you should plan your savings so you can cover the difference for at least 16 years (which is the current life expectancy at 67 years old in Germany), and overshoot that if you can.

LLMs are evolutionary dead ends. Very expensive ones at that.

Even the companies doing things where LLMs are actually good at, rely on companies like OpenAI so when OpenAI goes down so will they.

The good dæmons compete with pathogenic bad dæmons, and are essential for the computer’s health.

Currently it works just as frontend for git, but it theoretically supports other backends too. Allegedly Google has their own experimental internal cloud+db based backend for big monorepos.

DB is the definite proof that German efficiency is a lie, but tourists using urban transports in big cities will usually have a good experience. Even the public transports in Berlin have got their shit together in the last few years, even if S-Bahn/DB are still a level below BVG.

Yes. And photos should also have a disclaimer about what kinds of edits were done, regardless if they were done manually or by AI.

I keep seeing stupid ideas in social media because people believe edited photos match reality.

That’s the thing, Software Engineers have choices.

Yes, all big companies will do some dubious things.

But then you have big tech that does all those dubious things and is also breaking democratic institutions everywhere with a sledgehammer.

And then you have Palentir, which are literally Hollywood movie villains.

At this point they are light years of their livelihood depending on it. There’s no way they don’t notice where the bombs are falling, they had plenty of time to look around and have decided they don’t care.

They have two types of people:

• Software Engineers and Computer Scientists that don’t care who gets hurt as long as they get to work on their interesting problem. I call them the Wernher von Braun club.
• The ones that are also prospective customers

The Venn Diagram might be close to a circle.

Is it so surprising that the mindset that makes people unable to face changes in one area of their lives also makes them unable to face changes in other areas?

Next time just shoot an movie industry exec, the sentence will be the same. /s (mandatory: don’t actually shoot anyone please)

x11 doesn’t support HDR at all, so even with HDR support still not being fully mature in KDE and GNOME that’s a argument for wayland.

If you want to know more about how unhinged the dude is, I recommend reading this email thread in the DNG mailing list.
