BaconIsAVeg,

That’s part of the problem though honestly. It saddens me that US politics is so damn entertaining to watch, like a slow motion train derailment, you just can’t take your eyes off it.

I really wish it wasn’t so humorous to watch.

BaconIsAVeg,

So it looks pretty much like the same story from the movie, even has the same cast (doing voice over instead of acting).

So… why?

BaconIsAVeg,

Settle down Nancy. There’s hundreds of linux distributions currently, some targeted towards desktop/gaming, and some targeted to the server and enterprise spaces. RedHat has always been the latter.

Let’s not get all Shakespearean dramatic about it, ok?

BaconIsAVeg,

Exactly, and they have been for years. How fucking entitled do people need to be to advocate for “free and open source” software and then turn around and removed and moan when a corporate entity decides to shift focus to something that doesn’t benefit them directly?

BaconIsAVeg,

Remember when Trump said in order to win the war against ISIS you also need to “take out their families”?

BaconIsAVeg,

All they did was take down the website that links to the GitHub repository. They already tried to have GitHub pull it, and they did but then restored it and setup a legal defense fund for projects in similar situations which seems like a pretty big “fuck you”.

This story is a nothing-burger, the equivalent of the blue bucket meme.

BaconIsAVeg,

The article doesn’t mention that YouTube/Google were involved at all. It was the record labels that filed the suit.

… has been blocked due to copyright infringement claims by major music labels Sony, Warner, and Universal …

BaconIsAVeg,

Why would they mention Google at all? Google can’t sue anyone for Copyright Infringement when someone downloads a video off their site, because Google doesn’t own the copyrights of the videos.

BaconIsAVeg,

In hard cheese if you can cut an inch or two in every direction

Look at Mr Money bags over here, throwing away 3-4 inches of cheese when even the store brand stuff is like $15 a block!

BaconIsAVeg,

Because parents have been told they’re not allow to discipline their kids, so instead they have to blame everything else for their failed crotch spawn.

BaconIsAVeg,
  • patched dwm
  • polybar
  • kitty
  • a ton of tui’s (mutt, ncspot, cointop, btop, dry, etc)
  • obsidian
  • vscode
  • rofi, thunar
  • blender and daz3d (wine)
  • discord, element

The only real piece of software I don’t like is Zoom; it’s the most badly behaved app I’ve ever seen. Suck my balls Zoom, stay in your own god damned workspace.

BaconIsAVeg,

Theoretically, I haven’t tried. It’s for a online D&D campaign, so I like having Zoom and Discord on a second monitor because my main monitor already has maps, character sheet, Obsidian for taking notes, etc.

Most of my video calling is over Teams or Discord, so I may have been thinking of Webex which used to give you a http link that would force you to download the client software and launch it.

BaconIsAVeg,

I really wish I could, though the DM is dead set on using Zoom.

BaconIsAVeg,

I use lunarvim quite a bit, however the application I work with has over 65k code files and sometimes telescope just doesn’t cut it. I also use a number of VSC plugins that I just cannot for the life of me get working in neovim, like the gauge.org LSP stuff.

BaconIsAVeg,

Plus, there will always be people who will exploit hard coded loopholes in the system where no sane, logical third party official would.

The first thing that comes to mind is various ‘police agencies’ in MMOs. Way, way back in the Ultima Online Beta, you’d be walking through town and another player would come up and attempt to pick pocket items out of your inventory. If you turned around and smacked them, the guards would spawn and instantly kill you, which caused everything you were carrying to fall to the ground beside your corpse, and then the thieves would just pick up anything valuable and walk away free and clear. They were counting on this behavior of course, and they’d antagonize new players until they got what they wanted. There was a similar example in EVE Online, where pirates who knew the system would open up floating cans left by players who were mining, causing them to flash red to the miner. If the miner fought back, the police would show up, your ship would be destroyed, and the pirates could pick through all your stuff.

Given OP’s example, I can guarantee scenarios like this with Smart Contracts will be fairly easy to pull off.

BaconIsAVeg,

Yeah, but then you have to tell people you use something that sounds like an exotic dancer’s stage name. I’ll stick with Endeavour.

BaconIsAVeg,

I thought the shortage of toilet paper was over?

BaconIsAVeg,

There’s a ton of models and LoRa’s for it that can create a pretty wide variety of things. I use it for creating on-the-fly watercolor scenes during D&D sessions for my session journal.

BaconIsAVeg,

These were deities for a homebrew campaign, and the DM had already provided their domain, element, and symbol (i.e. war, fire, stallion). I usually just generate 4 images at a time (only takes a few seconds on a 3090) and pick the one I like the best. Sometimes I’ll generate 2-3 sets of 4, but not often if I don’t have a clear idea of exactly what I’m looking for.

If it’s something really specific I need, I could spend hours using in painting and various noise/models to get what I want.

Edit: oops, I was thinking of a different montage I did recently: pixelfed.social/i/web/post/595611323719481231

The previous linked image was much the same process, though the prompts were more detailed as the other players had provided more information on their character’s appearance.

BaconIsAVeg,

I started on lemmy.world, right up until their “wait and see” approach to Meta/Threads, which is when I moved to lemmy.ml.

Not going to lie though, it also seems like most of the low-quality memes/shit posts come from lemmy.world, so I don’t feel like I’m missing out on much.

BaconIsAVeg,

Literally a key logger with extra steps.

BaconIsAVeg,

While I appreciate the sentiment, isn’t that effectively the same as “if the restaurant won’t give you the complete recipe for their pizza sauce, how do you know they’re not trying to poison you?”

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

BaconIsAVeg,

nteract with the Windows Nvidia drivers which aren’t there

Funny story. I was trying to get RayTracing working under Wine for a few days and finally found the solution (needed to download the nvlibs zip from GitHub and run the installer).

Couple weeks later I went back into Wine and it was broken. After another 3 days of struggling, I decided to redownload nvlibs and run the installer, when I noticed it only symlinks the needed libraries into WINEPREFIX. Me, being the resource miser I am, had removed the folder from ~/Downloads when I thought I was done with it …

BaconIsAVeg,

You’re right, I used yay. I used pacman to illustrate the point.
