What is happening on lemmy brethren

This is an ai image posted like a few months ago, and now it gets reposted without credit, and it’s an ai image???

on my laptop yk

why is this infographic AI generated and where are the pixels

Im surely not the only one who thinks this article is ai generated? it spams the exact same structure and has the typical smells

I think the fact that there’s so few Linux desktop users that use Linux phones is a testament to how much friction there is.

most Linux OS don’t support mainstream phones I think for a few reasons:

• these phones were built for the vendor’s specific flavor of android, and thus already have the drivers for the proprietary hardware and everything.
• custom android ROMs are able to reuse proprietary firmware blobs from the manufacturer’s software and it will work fine with Android. On Linux however, you can’t just plug these blobs in, you’d have to rewrite everything to work with plain Linux.

it’s been the time for years, I highly doubt that it will ever happen. it’s been a lot of friction to get desktop users to switch, it’s gonna be 5x more difficult, considering mobile users are less tech-savvy and typically do things on their phone (rather than a computer which most people can get away with just a web browser).

the linux kernel is on that list, bro it’s time to switch!

“Versus” videos or articles in general seem to be especially susceptible to being awful garbage

Systemd haters when you use systemd instead of UltraXinitializer made in 2005 by John Init in C-- that requires you to manually write init scripts and has 894 critical severity CVEs

good points. yeah, client side anticheats are still vulnerable and I think they’re mostly just popular out of pure laziness. Making a good server side anticheat takes a lot of thought into what is and isn’t possible so it’s easier for a company to just slap on some slop and get 80% of the way there.

in valorant’s case, their anticheat is also a great date collection software to beam every possible identifier straight to John Data or whoever it ends up with.

is this really a problem? if you don’t make a Zed account (this is for their paid services) you don’t have to agree to any TOS. The editor remains untouched.

i’m a proponent of server-side anticheat, but there is a few reasons games do it client side.

• server-side anticheats depend on heuristics and “checks” determining if a player is doing something “impossible”.
• one example would be checking if the player somehow has perfect accuracy on every player before even shooting, or if the player moves further than is possible in a given timespan (these are very simple examples).
• this is MUCH more difficult to make accurate, since these checks are fallible to network conditions or other hiccups.
• most online games opt for client-side anticheat since it lets the devs just “trust the client” easier. it can also detect things that would be impossible server-side, like X-ray (seeing other players through walls. this is impossible to detect server side).

yo you can just turn a choice into a meme and the crowd will go crazy

+1 for Zed, switched to it and it is significantly more responsive. it also ACTUALLY supports Wayland instead of some cursed chromium ozone abomination

even if it was skewed, I knew that it’s what everyone else was seeing. it brings a sense of community (even though it started to get overtaken by frontpage bots)

it’s a weird feeling when a feature to see the same stuff that everyone else sees gets removed in favor of personalized feeds. it’s like my connection with the outside world was severed. this sucks.

Hibernation is underrated. If you don’t want to risk losing stuff you have open but want 0 energy draw, hibernation is great. As a bonus, you can store your swap file in an encrypted partition to prevent attacks possible with normal sleep mode.

I have my sleep option set to automatically switch to hibernation if it’s been asleep for 3 hours.

anyone gonna cop the $1500 hour session for agentic engineering

i swear 97% of openclaw hype is bots
