Some of my friends that are convicted felons are 100% innocent of what they were accused and convicted of. Some of my friends that are convicted felons are guilty, and absolutely did what they were accused of. I don't make fun of people for being convicted felons, and I don't ostracize them. Instead, I don't let bad people around me. My definition of bad focuses on the choices that a person made in the past, and the choices that they make now. Some of the worst people, will never be felons.
@juergen_hubert@mekkaokereke That's not entirely true, but the other cases are quite rare. Pursuant to §45 StGB courts may deprive people of their right to vote for up to 5 years when convicted of certain listed crimes (treason, election fraud, murder of foreign government representatives). AIUI there are only around 1-2 cases of this per year.
It gets on my nerves how much Linux or any other open source operating system gets flack for things outside of its control. DirectX is a proprietary library made by Microsoft and in order for games to be released for Linux there has to be an "incentive" because these companies spew things about Linux. Nobody can just make DirectX but on Linux (no I am not talking about proton, proton lets DirectX games run by translating. It is not a DirectX implementation) because if one were to do so they’d get promptly exploded by Microsoft.
Let’s talk about audio for a second, windows has a lot of audio problems too but it’s mainly masked away by the fact that a lot of companies release drivers for Windows and MacOS for their devices. Linux and operating systems such as FreeBSD do not get this same attention of detail. Without any sort of code to go off of and without having access to these horribly expensive pieces of hardware to develop drivers around linux, FreeBSD and the rest of the *nix operating systems are always going to feel second class.
What about software? Not everyone wants to use an alternative. Yes, you should not be using Adobe products in 2024 (I know Adobe teachers who say that it is a dying software stack and that it’s clearly unsustainable they wish they could teach things such as Krita but the pressure from board + parents etc). It is super hard to get these companies that have existing contracts. I mean just read about true type fonts and the shit Adobe pulls with Apple and it’s despicable. We have no reason to keep fonts in these weird proprietary formats apart from appeasing shareholders. It is not a matter of the Linux ecosystem lacking it’s a matter of trying not to get sued by giant corporations who have patents, copyright and trademarks on things such as likeness so you can’t provide equivalent features.
What are some numbers in your field that anyone else in the field would identify without even thinking about it, but folk outside may have no idea. Just the numbers, no explanations. Yet.
this is so funny to me for so many reasons. i found it on reddit i have to share.
little joke explanation - Assuming these are true nvme drives and not just SATA drives with similar keying (ie m.2 sata)... One of those connections has got to be power, the other has got to be data. I'm no expert in offbrand cheap things like this (i mean i have a couple they work for what they do lol) but presumably that's a USB 3 (if even, i bet it's usb2) connection to the computer. i doubt it's exposing any of the pcie stuff over thunder port either. so you have these super fast ssds bottlenecked by usb speeds, god knows what the controller on this cheap piece of shit is so you may not even be able to get smart data from it (sometimes you can but i've noticed it can get really weird) not to mention this looks like a cheap knockoff so i doubt it's usb gen 3.2 with the most performant implementation of spec :harold:
@puppygirlhornypost You can't really implement NVMe to USB bridges badly, there aren't a ton of chips that do it and they all should pretty much work (I've only seen ASM2362 for 10gbps, ASM2364 for 20gbps, and RTL9210B for 10gbps). I have an RTL9210B-based enclosure and it just appears as a USB flash drive.
None of the chips need a lot of supporting components and on aliexpress they seem to be around $5 each.
they should make factorio but more annoying (power lines have a max current carrying capacity and resistive losses, you can create transformer substations for long-distance 250kV power lines, motors create reactive power)
@whitequark it would be terrible for performance, so we need to think of more things that would make it worse (simulate buggy solar inverter firmware maybe?)
@whitequark this is for a nixos freebsd port, i often ended up adding hacks to reduce the number of llvm rebuilds, then removed them once too many piled up and run a rebuild overnight.
@Elizafox in speaking of outdated ass models that are used everywhere despite them not being an accurate reflection of reality... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_ring i still can't believe it was proposed "-1 for hypervisor"... augh
@puppygirlhornypost@Elizafox aarch64 manages to do things that actually make sense here (el0 is user, el1 is kernel, el2 is hypervisor, el3 is trustzone)
@hailey decades ago, after mass protests against injury and death caused by microsoft, the Netherlands announced that they would begin supporting Linux first for most needs throughout the country
So apparently MacOS 14 isn't available for devices from 2017 — so I'd need to buy a new mac, even though mine works perfectly fine, to use this app (MacOS 13 is still well supported by Apple)
Apparently Apple considers devices “vintage" when they're between 5 and 7 years old; so hardware that works perfectly well from 2017 becomes un-upgradable in 2023/24
@thisismissem There's an extremely unofficial way of using older unsupported macs with new macOS: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/MODELS.html
I've used it on a few machines and it works surprisingly well, though it does take a while for the developers to find workarounds when new major macOS versions are released.
@thisismissem I think Apple removes hardware after a few years if they don't want to deal with some quirk it has, like "old GPU that doesn't have modern features" or "T2 chip", I'm always annoyed that I never know how long hardware will actually be supported
