Mostly same here, save for legit indie companies. I'm still going to buy haunted chocolater, silksong, and arcane (by randy) when they come out. Maybe hades 2 as well but I'll have to look into the question of "are they indie?" beforehand. Alot of people claimed that helldivers was indie when I'd argue it really isn't

Amd can be quite hard to work with as a small vendor and even though they have a current product with them it takes alot of time, and money to get a new one. If they can

The excuse, which I believe, is that AMD is relatively small and can only do buisness with so many people Whereas nvidia is massive, and multiple smaller companies along with the main one will be in a much better place to supply GPUs.

Completely agree though, I would much prefer an all amd option.

The issue is that this data can be used to fingerprint or de-anonomize users. Even if it's just a big list of statistics, knowing how likely or unlikely a system change, setting change, version, etc. is can help greatly with a person looking to pin down users. They'll know how likely a person with a specific pattern is the same person.

I'm glad it's not distributed. If it was, I'd slide it all the way back to 0. Good intentions from the collectors doesn't stop bad intentions of consumers

"Why identity politics bro?"

Says the first guy to bring up identity politics in the thread.

The article didn't say shit about gender you weirdo. You have hallucinated this.

@sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works avatar

Half the article, or more, is a description of evengalian plot. That's some wild shit man, none of that was in any way relevent. Imma use this tactic myself.

"I'm sorry, but I am breaking up with you. You do deserve an explination as to why though but to properly convey my emotions first I'll have to describe the entire through plot of blues clues"

@sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works avatar

You're wild man, complain about everybody bringing up identity politics when none were present ironically being the one you complained about.

I haven't been following this story personally, but if they had decided to "push back on representation for trans people" that is a bad thing. Not certain what that means, but the only way to do that would be lower the amount of trans users and contributors. Forcing out trans people is a bad thing, that's not identity politics, that's hatred

@sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works avatar

Shit, sorry, you're a different guy I think? Apologies for that the top comment was deleted.

Still going to restate that removing trans people from the community wouldn't be identity politics, it'd be hatred

@sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works avatar

Through some further exploration I've also been able to find this which seems relevent:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion

Here's some points the source states:
In 2015, 15 years after a global cataclysm called the Second Impact, teenager Shinji Ikari is summoned to the futuristic city of Tokyo-3 by his estranged father Gendo Ikari, who is the director of the special paramilitary force Nerv. Shinji witnesses United Nations forces battling an Angel, one of a race of monstrous beings whose awakening was foretold in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Because of the Angels' near-impenetrable force-fields, Nerv's Evangelion bio-machines, which are synchronized to their pilots' nervous systems and possess their own force-fields, are the only weapons capable of fighting the Angels. Nerv officer Misato Katsuragi escorts Shinji into the Nerv complex beneath Tokyo-3, where Gendo pressures him into piloting Evangelion Unit-01 against the Angel. Without training, Shinji is quickly overwhelmed, causing the Evangelion to go berserk and savagely kill the Angel on its own.

Following hospitalization, Shinji moves in with Misato and settles into life in Tokyo-3. In his second battle, Shinji defeats an Angel but runs away afterward, distraught. Misato confronts Shinji, and he decides to remain a pilot. Shinji and Nerv's crew must defeat the remaining fourteen Angels to prevent the Third Impact, a global cataclysm that would destroy the world. Evangelion Unit-00 is repaired shortly afterward, and Shinji tries to befriend its pilot Rei Ayanami, a mysterious and socially isolated teenage girl. With Rei's help, Shinji defeats another Angel. They are joined by Evangelion Unit-02's pilot, the multitalented but insufferable teenager Asuka Langley Sōryu, who is German-Japanese-American. The three of them manage to defeat several Angels, and as Shinji adjusts to his new role as a pilot, he gradually becomes more confident and self-assured. Asuka moves in with Shinji, and they begin to develop confusing feelings for one another, kissing at her provocation.

After being absorbed by an Angel, Shinji breaks free thanks to Eva-01 acting on its own. He is later forced to fight Evangelion Unit-03, who has become infected, and its pilot, his friend and classmate Toji Suzuhara, becomes incapacitated and permanently disabled. Asuka loses her self-confidence following a defeat and spirals into depression, which is worsened by her next fight against an Angel who attacks her mind. It forces her to relive her worst fears and childhood trauma, resulting in a mental breakdown. In the next battle, Rei sacrifices herself to self-destruct Unit-00 and save Shinji. Misato and Shinji visit the hospital, where they find Rei alive, but claiming she is "the third Rei". Misato forces the scientist Ritsuko Akagi to reveal the dark secrets of Nerv, the Evangelion boneyard, and the Dummy Plug system, which operates using clones of Rei, who was created using the DNA of Shinji's mother, Yui Ikari. This succession of events leaves Shinji emotionally scarred and alienated from the rest of the characters. Kaworu Nagisa replaces the catatonic Asuka as Unit-02's pilot and befriends Shinji, gaining his trust. He is revealed to be the final foretold Angel, Tabris, and fights Shinji, realizing that he must die to allow humanity to survive. He asks Shinji to kill him, and he hesitates but eventually kills Kaworu; an event that causes him to be overridden with guilt.

After the final Angel is defeated, Gendo triggers the "Human Instrumentality Project", a forced evolution of humanity in which the souls of mankind are merged for benevolent purposes. He believes that if unified, humanity could overcome the loneliness and alienation that has eternally plagued them. Shinji's soul grapples with the reason for his existence and reaches an epiphany that he needs others to thrive and to accept himself by seeing a potential Shinji in another reality. This enables him to destroy the wall of negative emotions that torment him and unites with the others, who congratulate him.

If I had a 3d printer making negatives of the baddies a before casting them in chocolate, cake, or marshmallow would be wild.

On a budget like I am I'm certain I could do something with cookies to make some or carve a marshmellow down, slime out of jello, etc. I've done 3d trees, but could also make my mini peanut butter cookies and use icing to paint the monster to be a token.

Cheese would be a good medium as well however. Fuck man, I could do a three course dnd session. Charcuterie shiskabandits? Cheese pants, meat shirt, and a grape head all held with a toothpick?

This would be fantastic for a kid, or very kid like adults. Ant on a log direwolf? Strands of twisted liqurice as tentacles for a rope or an abolyth? More ideas are welcome

God dahm I kinda want to do that next time I run assault on gumdrop mountain. I don't know if any of the PCs would actually eat during that specific campaign though lol

This led to mass starvation as the workers no longer could feed themselves and no industry replaced the lost work. The textiles produced were of lower quality too, and sold for less which harmed the local economy leading to a rise in food prices along with the lower wages. Since the vast majority of arable land was used for cotton too no local food could lower the prices. Many people died as the luddites predicted.

There was mass starvation

They were right. This is not "anti-automation" this is against lower wages, mass unemployment, and an economic decrease. The automation was the cause of this, yes, but the concept of automation was not the issue. The issue was it's use here.

If the workers were provided an alternative job, if there was some plan to avoid starvation, and if the textiles were of a reasonable quality then there would be no issue.

History proved the luddites correct

Don't know about gnomes default file manager, but dolphin has this ability. You'll have to install the addons and enable it in the context menu however.

To repeat others opinion though, I haven't actually needed this feature outside of very specific situations (that I create myself). Linux operates a bit different and shouldn't need this for anything outside of some poorly made, or potentially malicious apps and scripts. I agree though it's still nice to have the option

@sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works avatar

Why do we need to separate somebodies core beliefs from the person?

That is the person. What they do and what they believe makes them who they are. I hate this "please just ignore this massive section of what makes up a person" trend. Sure though, you can still like this video separating creator from content, but if somebody does something terrible it's ok to no longer like that person as shown here with "I love them" followed by "I now understand more about this person and no longer love them"

Authoritarianism is when you judge people by their actions and beliefs, today I learned.

I'm sorry, that's incredibly funny. I love lemmy all the weirdos come out to say the wildest shit.

Sure, their core beliefs can change, as can my opinion of them when this happens.

To clarify. Authoritarianism is the belief that a singular authority should hold strong control over a system often meaning those who act against it or disagree should face punishment output by said system. I dislike people who agree with that idea, but if they change their opinion mine may too

To do this one could install the new distro on a new partition, boot to it, delete everything from the old installation except the hone directory, move your user to the base directory (/home/sorrybookbroke -> /sorrybookbroke) before editing your /etc/fstab and mounting the old partition to /home

This way, no external drive is needed like @Luci suggested. Of course, their suggestion is the easiest, but this is the one I personally chose.

If you like youtube, the linux cast is a great option. For news though, the linux experiment can't be beat. You'll learn more as you go along and always know you can ask questions if you have them

@sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works avatar

I wouldn't suggest arch unless you know it's issues. I love the distro, but I understand many might not.

It's the quickest rolling release for most things. When you update, things sometimes break, and break bad. Like the grub issue we all had where you restarted to get a "grub rescue" screen with no way to boot. Like the linux 5.17(I think?) Kernel that had some intel laptops backlights go flash from max to zero, possibly destroying the machine.

You'll also have some software or drivers with major bugs like the nvidia driver a while ago that stuck brightness at 100% (or 50, in my case) requiring a downgrade of both the kernal, and nvidia driver.

Arch is the first place where new software gets to meet a large userbase and their hardware. The first place it might interact with other new software.

Sometimes you need to manually intervene and change stuff, and this means keeping up with current arch events via their mailing list, lemmy, or reddit (reddit sadly is the safer bet)

If you're ok with this I'd highly reccomend arch if not only for the AUR. If not, PopOS and Fedora are also pretty sick and, there's also tumbleweed.

Oh wow! Now they'll have to make sure their shareholders are profiting and happy keeping them in mind for all decisions. No worries though, they gave 'us' first shot at it! So If some massive multimillion dollar company who's sole motivation is profit comes in and buys more than we could ever really it's our fault for being poor.

What a non-scummy way to announce a public offering. Stating that we, the good people, can give them more free money while they take upward of 5 years to deliver something you may not even find valuable at that time. Will we be able to upgrade our shares in four years in order to get the updated version by paying more under vague threats that we'll recieve nothing if we don't pay up? I wonder if it'll include a bunch of proprietary firmware and software when it releases even though we all payed for a fully FOSS product? When we try to sell the share will they say "sorry, we've updated our policy, you aren't allowed to get your money back"?

If you're willing to import, tuxedo computers is another great choice. I can personally vouch for framework but I'd caution if you're looking for the 16, it'll be a bit before they're available. 13ish batches pre-ordered, with batch one shipping in a few weeks, it may take quite a bit to get. The 13 though is in stock and shouldn't take too long to recieve

Edit: oh sorry, 13 inch is your preference. I'd strongly vouch for framework. I'd also say stay away from purism due to their scummy history on the phone if you care about that.

sorrybookbroke ,
@sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works avatar

Sure do, though not for all the claims I'll make here as that was from me obsessively watching the purism forumns and reddit over the 5 or so years this was going on. They promised a phone which most people didn't get for five years. When it shipped the specs were not great especially for the already pricy cost they had it at. This, after quite heavily suggesting they were nearly good to go. When it came close to the end of waiting, they added a second option (no phones were in hands yet) to upgrade their order, at a cost, to skip the line and get it quicker. Suggesting that if it didn't sell the company couldn't ship the original either after taking money both from a crowdfunding campaign and their site. Though a few were eventually able to refund, they sneakily changed their policy to include "no refunds" when at time of purchase they stated clearly refunds would be available at request. There's also been an issue with their laptops which were advertised as fully FOSS, etirely non-proprietary before eventually shipping with some proprietary software. All around, their customer service is terrible and their responces to allagations and critisism has been childish threats and legal attacks. All around bad group.

Not true, firstly 'framework' never tried Coreboot they have provided boards to coreboot devs however, who've had issues including accidentally bricking the board. New boards have been shipped, and the origional fixed. They haven't given up though completely and the work is still being done. There was a recent talk that had to be canceled due to the speaker getting sick on this subject. Work is likely still being done, but is slow, and will continue to be so.

Still though, there's no evidence that framework has ever had or ever will have the intention of including core-boot by default. They're simply supporting coreboot devs to make it compatable

The reasoning for why the others have it is likely due to system76 and nova customs using mostly generic parts like the shell and motherboard along with being around longer. It's great to support a company that's ensuring coreboot works on their system however and pushing towards a non-proprietary future

Mastadon had a similar issue before the blowup. It's not possible to stop in a completely open source and federated service. By design, anybody can join in, and create a new instance to do with as they please

If you want to make it better we need more servers that block this trash, and who have larger user-bases than the current ones. Create quality content on reasonable instances, advertise these sites, and bring other creators in

That they are, spikes and all. Interestingly though the spikes are soft and blunt when born but quickly harden a bit after birth so the mother isn’t birthing a ball of nails, more like a ball covered in gummy works that then stiffen, harden, and sharpen after birth
