Well as far as this fact check, it makes sense. Why wouldn’t you want to stop impaired drivers. Also, the bill apparently says nothing about dring driving (although since drinking does impair you, it will probably flag).

www.usatoday.com/story/news/…/11066287002/

According to that, there is no mention of giving control of your car to government/police etc. “the bill in question directs a federal agency to require technology that would detect driver impairment and disable the vehicle in that scenario”

The system “passively monitors the performance of a driver,” identifies whether they may be impaired and prevents or limits motor vehicle operation “if an impairment is detected.”

So its not phoning home or anything, it is sound self-sufficient, so it would probably be pretty easy to disable.

The comment about roundabouts is the same for Australia. You wait a roundabout entrance, with your indicator telling people what you intend to do on the roundabout, and that indication stays until you are ready to leave the roundabout, which you are then required to indicate left (unless you were already indicating left!).

Having moving buttons on the steering wheel is an absolutely absurd idea. Not just for indicating, anything important (I dont mean volume control for the radio, or phone answer button) should never be on a rotating object, where it can be inaccessible or “not where it should be” in a time of need (or required).

For tipping countries like the US, the driver would only get a “has a tip” notification on the order (if they get any information like that at all!) so they can decide. There is no way the driver can see that there is a $40 order with a $4 tip, or a $40 order with a $16 dollar tip. Orders would be ignored all the time, and the service would fail.

Oh, and if they did get a “has tip” flag for the order, then customers could just game it, by selecting “add tip” and setting it to $0 or $0.10 or something so their order gets that “has tip” flag!!

Here is AU, there is no tipping, so the drivers get paid like normal people. None of this work for tip bullshit that seems to have survived this long in the US, its incredible that it has gotten this far. Now the US get asked for tips using self-service machines, that is the height of lunacy!

I find Joplin perfect for my needs. Markdown, embedding images, links etc. I sync to my selfhosted nextcloud.

I like tags, I would like them to add a “directory tree” type of view to help sort “folders” (the thing they call “notebooks”) but only because I am more used to just filesystem type structured filing. But the notebooks and tagging idea works for me too.

I strictly use it for notes/note keeping, in particular “HOWTO’s” and specific topic notes. So I dont even do a great deal of markdown in my notes, but I love the ability to add screen captures etc to them for clarity.

And being on nextcloud, I can access those notes anywhere on any device, PC, Android, Raspberry Pi!! Joplin has an app for all of them

At this point, I am positive the HP printer marketing department, have lost their collective minds.

Most marketing departments are retarded, but this seems to be a new level of dumb. Bricking printers, blocking 3rd party, messing with firmware, price gouging…

Brother are simple, reliable, low cost and dependable. Every one I have used in commercial or watched in home use have been straight up boss. I don’t own one, but it will be my next printer when the Epson runs out of ink, mark my words!

Kernel Level Anti-Cheat. If you don’t understand that, then you don’t know if Linux is good or bad for “gaming”.

Basically everything you want to play on Linux, that is not supported by the anti-cheat kernel is screwed.

“Steam offers all these game to play on Linux” - yes, but I played them all 20 years ago.

Try playing something like Genshin Impact. You cannot, the anticheat is Windows only. (PS and consoles, it relies on anticheat mech’s from the HW). They don’t offer a Linux version - so you are screwed.

Does it have EAC or Battleeye? You are shit out of luck.

The Linux Desktop is ready for primetime, but not for gaming. You need a windows boot for gaming, unless you are playing Half-Life…

No, you total bell end.

I support and do everything in Linux, and I can. But I cannot play games I want to play. I have to use windows to play what I want to play, because companies that make games do not support Linux.

How fucking retarded are you?

Never mind, you are probably just another aimbot using n00b in some old game that still runs on Linux, that no one cares about anymore.

If you were normal… 20/4/19xx … or 20th of April, 19xx. If you insist on freedom units and format, its your own fault!

Also, who knows what it was written to identify? you are all speculating. It could have been weed smokers (420) but it could also have been written to filter out the yanks…!

Maze War: “Am I a joke to you?” (1973)

But Wolf3D was the “3D - FPS” which changed the world, and gaming introducing FPS. Carmack glimpsed Ultima in action at a 1990 expo, and saw a new style of game, influencing him in both Wolf3D and then Doom.

Also, ID’s first 3D game, which was not FPS, was Hovertank 3D!!

So all the arguments here revolve around if you are talking “3D” or “FPS”. 3D has been around since the 70’s, however as far as FPS is concerned WOLF 3D takes the title for that.

Just to be clear, the Far Left and the Far Right wings of parliament in America are equally retarded as one another. Just for different reasons.

You lot are so fucking polarised, you don’t even see your internal self-destruction slowly growing (your next civil war is only around the corner, mark my words).

If you had some common sense and civility to one another, and worked through arguments and came to agreements, you would not be this retarded as a country. You might actually stop voting decrepit old cunts in too.

All countries have left and right, but you are on another level. Here, we have labour/liberal but the are only just over the centerline. They often agree on certain aspects. But when they don’t it is debated out and decided. Sometimes they ask the populous to vote, in case of stalemate or major disagreement.

We the people own the government, not the other way around. But you, America, have forgotten that, and you your “vote if you want” attitude has you under the thumb. Same with [lets be honest, fucking bribes] masked as donations. How you are not in the bottom quarter of the most corrupt countries list has me baffled.

Its in several more kernels than that.

That patch was backported into known (and probably more): v5.10.202, v5.15.140, v6.1.64

ext4 data corruption in 6.1 stable tree (was Re: [PATCH 5.15 000/297] 5.15.140-rc1 review

So I’ve got back to this and the failure is a subtle interaction between iomap code and ext4 code. In particular that fact that commit 936e114a245b6 (“iomap: update ki_pos a little later in iomap_dio_complete”) is not in stable causes that file position is not updated after direct IO write and thus we direct IO writes are ending in wrong locations effectively corrupting data. The subtle detail is that before this commit if ->end_io handler returns non-zero value (which the new ext4 ->end_io handler does), file pos doesn’t get updated, after this commit it doesn’t get updated only if the return value is < 0.

The commit got merged in 6.5-rc1 so all stable kernels that have 91562895f803 (“ext4: properly sync file size update after O_SYNC direct IO”) before 6.5 are corrupting data - I’ve noticed at least 6.1 is still carrying the problematic commit. Greg, please take out the commit from all stable kernels before 6.5 as soon as possible, we’ll figure out proper backport once user data are not being corrupted anymore. Thanks!

I agree that many of these articles leave a lot to be desired.

The key points are that Kiteworks (formally Accellion, Inc) is an American corporation. They are not into doing things for free, they charge like a wounded bull.

DRACOON (also security conscious enterprise file exchange) and ownCloud mergers into Kiteworks. So what will happen in the future? Well immediately nothing, they will probably continue a ‘community’ version.

I would think that things like MS integration might become paid only (if its not already) because companies need to make more money. Who knows, they might scrap it as open source too. ownCloud is now at the mercy of a corporate business.

The optimist in me wants to believe ownCloud might get a boost in resources and become more secure as a result of its new management, but my optimism is always reminded of every other time open source has been taken over (eg: pfSense).

The only other thing is DACH market, which is basically the German speaking market. Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Its no surprise they are targeting that area really.

tbh nextcloud barebones is great. I don’t use it for a full system (as in cloud).

I use it for notes (Joplin is the app on all devices/pc) NC is just its storage/distribution location. Same thing goes with bookmarks (Floccus is the addon, available to all devices/browsers). This is what makes it great.

Next is that I have files / pics on NAS storage, but I can make “external shares” available via NC. So NC is still tiny, but I can see everything I want on my massive NAS.

Using NC properly can be a super useful tool. But there are things to avoid, unless you have huge processor and storage. For example sharing photos. There are much better options than NC offering (Librephotos).

I use LLLM on NC, (because I can) and its pretty good. more than enough for Q&A. It wouldn’t beat GPT3.5 but its on par. However you suddenly need 8+GB ram and 4-8 threads to be “responsive” to one user. Fun though!

I do have docserver, fulltextsearch apps and then onlyoffice installed (as a separate VM) so I can actually edit office documents on the fly and its nice, but again I have offloaded it to another VM. so NC stays small and only has the “connector” to the onlyoffice VM.

Its worth it to me for cross platform and pc/compute devices for the bookmarks and notes alone! everything else is just sugar on top!

I know this is not useful for most use cases, but if you login to the desktop on the ‘remote Wayland’, locally first then RD will work as expected. So if you can change the behaviour of the remote desktop to stay unlocked (IE its in a secure place where others cannot just access the device), then and RD will work with Wayland.

I use NoMachine (since I manage all sorts of devices, and its nice that there is a client and server for everything including phones/arm) and it works for me because many of the machines are actually VM’s and I can keep the desktops unlocked and logged in. NoMachines solution for Wayland - is to disable it and use X11 !!

But I wish many of the RD developers would just embrace Wayland and add/rewrite code to support it (If it is in their scope, I don’t know) It might not be, since I am aware of Waypipe and Pipewire, but I’d assume that RD devs would still need to include support for that.

They originally said it was a cyber-attack, and it then turned out to be a (not insignificant) software update rollout that went tits up.

They lied, got caught out, she is at the top of the chain, this is what happens.
