erwan,

You don’t inherit debt but they’re paid on the estate before inheritance.

So you can’t get just debt as inheritance, but debt are only lost for the creditor if the person who died had a negative net worth.

Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations (x.com)

There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation. Their website describes them as “one of the largest...

erwan,

I just don’t like Linus because he’s annoying and abuses clickbait thumbnails and titles.

Some of their videos (from other people than himself) are good, but usually I’ll avoid LTT content all together.

For that reason I’m not really sure what happened, and I don’t really care.

erwan,

Especially coming from Google, who was one of the good guys pushing open standards and interoperability.

erwan,

They asked her already and she refused.

Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App (lemmy.world)

See, it turns out that the Rabbit R1 seems to run Android under the hood and the entire interface users interact with is powered by a single Android app. A tipster shared the Rabbit R1’s launcher APK with us, and with a bit of tinkering, we managed to install it on an Android phone, specifically a Pixel 6a....

erwan,

Yeah, but everyone could see that as soon as they released it.

It doesn’t matter how it’s implemented, it could have been done as an app from day one.

But they made it a device instead because it makes it easy to raise funds and to get journalists to talk about it. As simple as that.

erwan,

It is very well produced but there is very little actual content. He kept showing the same clips and saying the same thing over and over.

Bottom line is “in Steam Deck reviews, media is claiming Linux is complex without any proof or example.” You don’t need 5 full minutes to say that.

erwan,

We can already create enough abondance that no human starves, sleep outside or can’t affotd medical treatment. Still look at the world.

Asking for a Linux (or non-Windows) laptop during a job interview?

I’m interviewing for a software dev job currently (it’s in the initial stages). If things work out, I’d absolutely prefer a work laptop with Linux installed (I personally use PopOS but any distro will do), a Mac will be second choice, but I absolutely cannot tolerate Windows, I abhor it, I hate it… (If all computers left...

erwan,

It’s not weird, you can ask the recruiter or even the developer doing the interview what is the work environment (i.e. at the end, “do you have any question for me”). It’s a perfectly valid question.

You don’t have to go into details and go into a flamewar about Windows, at most just mention that it’s not your preference.

I think it’s better to avoid talking about how you “absolutely cannot tolerate”, “hate” a given platform because that in itself could be a red flag to some interviewers. If you feel this way about Windows, maybe you’ll feel this way about frameworks/libraries that has already been picked and be a pain to work with.

erwan,

Who the fuck wears a VR headset walking in the street, let alone crossing a road?

erwan,

Yes, the problem is that the main reason people used Linux was because it was Free Software.

So a proprietary Linux didn’t bring the usual benefits of Linux, it was just one more proprietary OS. And unlike BeOS or NeXT it didn’t bring much to the table compared to Windows or other Linux distributions.

erwan,

When needed, they can change it faster than Japan did.

erwan,

Terrorists who do this kind of thing don’t care about Palestine, and they don’t want to reduce Muslim hate.

On the contrary, they want more conflicts. Just the the far right Nazis that will jump on the occasion to antagonize all Muslims over this event.

erwan,

Dude it was done by a French citizen.

erwan,

The name won’t tell you if they were born in France or not.

And you can still be French even if your family hasn’t been living in France for 4 generations.

I guess what you mean to say is “you can’t really be French if you’re not white”?

erwan,

If there was any potential in a “metaverse”, it would be picked up by people who know how to make something fun. In Silicon Valley or somewhere else.

That’s not happening because the metaverse is pointless. Most people prefer having multiple tabs in a browser to do online shopping, chatting with friends, etc rather than moving a 3D avatar from a virtual supermarket to a virtual cafe.

erwan,

Yes, it wasn’t always the case. I was in the Silicon Valley in the 2000’s and it was full of techies who really believed in the open web, and even Google was a proponent of open standards.

A few years later it seems like the tech matured enough that being technically savvy was no longer necessary to be a successful founder. Slowly it stopped being about technical innovations and became about raising money, product marketing, A/B testing, etc.

erwan,

In my experience as soon as they get a web browser, people don’t care. Most people are lost when they have to deal with the file manager on Windows anyway…

erwan,

Seriously, there are people buying phones to play high specs games on it?

There are platforms that are so much better than phones for gaming, and most people playing games on their phones are playing small F2P crap anyway.

erwan,

Question is - is Qualcomm going to do the same bullshit as their mobile ARM processors with the drivers?

Where you need to wait for their proprietary Linux driver to upgrade your kernel?

erwan,

So if the average is roughly 10/20, that’s about the same as responding randomly each time, does that mean humans are completely unable to distinguish AI images?

erwan,

I’ve never heard of RAM disconnecting in the laptop. They’re clipped so I don’t see how that could happen.

erwan,

Most of them were not real manufacturers, but slapping their name on Chinese white brand phones.

erwan,

Yes unfortunately they do.

In the 90’s I wrote some Visual Basic applications, the only source code they had was isolated snippets to describe the buttons actions.

But most of the app was not based in source code but directly on a binary formal that VB could understand.

erwan,

I believe they sold the rights to some US company who is now managing the tld.

They specifically decided to profit off the fact that’s it’s an attractive tld, unlike tld like .ly and .ml where the country never intended for their tld to get a wide use.

erwan,

You can’t really blame the amount of stupidity online.

The problem is that ChatGPT (and other LLM) produce content of the average quality of its input data. AI is not limited to LLM.

For chess we were able to build AI that vastly outperform even the best human grandmasters. Imagine if we were to release a chess AI that is just as good as the average human…
