A few years ago there was a fantastic video detailing thorvald’s PC and it is a beast, crazy how far we’ve come

While Microsoft and Google merely pretend to like open source but transparently hate it, it is (was) not quite as obvious that red hat wanted to capture the enterprise Linux market wholesale. What red hat has done is terrible for the ecosystem, much more so than Microsoft just throwing out worthless tokens of appreciation.

Apart from the mouse thing (which I’m skeptical about), cloudflare also correlates your traffic with other sites hosted on cloudflare. Bots typically don’t visit many sites, click around there, find another one, etc, whereas humans will have visited other sites, will be slower at clicking the button, will have left comments on some sites.

The most likely explanation is that their previous implementation broke due to a website change, and they didn’t want to bother with fixing it. People began opening issues for them to fix it, but now it looks like they’re aiding people explicitly asking for piracy, so they can’t win (and also I’m willing to bet it fucking sucked trying to support that particular website)

Anything running on a copy-on-write filesystem can trivially rollback changes using a rescue partition.

I also expect most immutable distros would be able to be especially good at tanking this.

Notion syncs using https. It’s safe to say that as long as you haven’t specifically installed weird apps (notion is not a weird app) nothing going on on your PC is visible to anyone else.

This is of course, not true of enterprise and school devices, which usually have very powerful antivirus solutions installed that allow the work/school to see whatever you do (though they mostly don’t care, as long as you aren’t causing trouble on the network or doing things that might get them sued)

It’s a very educated guess based on the following:

The crash is a null pointer dereference, which a linter ought to catch.

The crash does not happen if you have crowdstrike sensor installed, which is weird because crowdstrike sensor’s job is not to prevent any crashes.

Hence the guess: the update the pushed tries accessing memory in sensor, but if it’s not installed the pointer is null and that’s Bye-Bye.

Oh but they did. Turns out that this is specifically caused by one driver expecting another to be installed, the other one being for another of their products. If you have the other product installed, it doesn’t crash, so it didn’t crash on their machines because they have all their products installed and apparently not a single element of their test matrix has the single most common configuration they service

No, not really. Of course if you are using a disk that’s full you’re going to have issues but as long as you have 16Gb free the performance will largely be the same for gaming.

I mean, the 64 Gb emmc does have lower performance on load times which could pose problems on certain games beyond just lengthening loading times, but NMS isn’t one of these games.

What does the 500 Gb model have to do with anything?

It kind of needs that (you can use trucks to make it go away) because of the android model of apps where an app may get yeeted off a cliff if it’s not currently showing a notification. Again, you can pull some tricks but for the average user they have to do it this way.

If you turned off battery optimisations globally, it might still kill it. You specifically have to go into app options and allow it to be always on, as well as allowing all it’s notifications

Kde connect is great.

Most supercars are AWD, find one with a mid engine and yeah

Not possible really. The protocol Lemmy uses requires accounts, not only as a soft requirement, but the software your instance would be interacting with requires it to function.

I was there too. Do try the freebies and see how you like it, there’s nothing to lose. Personally, that convinced me and I switched to 300 searches, then I got a new job for which I was making lots of searches and outgrew it so now I’m on the unlimited. IMO ultimate is useless unless you really like the vision or something, I just pay for a working product.

Kagi works fine.
