Privacy@lemmy.ml•Canada wants to join the age verification bandwagon and censor the internet with Bill C-34

Technology@lemmy.ml•Amazon CEO’s Talks With U.S. Officials Triggered Crackdown on Anthropic Fable 5 Model
1·3 days agoAccording to users it was a pretty decent model. Not the AGI promised for the billionth time, but it was able to slop out most tasks to at least get them to work.

6·7 days agoBasically you borrow a lot of stocks from someone and sell them directly.
Then you must buy back the same stock in the future and give it back to them (and a bit extra).
If the stock is cheaper in the future then you earn money. If it becomes more expensive you lose money.
This is how stock traders gamble on stocks they don’t own but think will lose value. They will find a way to gamble on everything.
I don’t disagree but I also want to flip that around. I’ve been recommended stuff which turned out to be a massive waste of time because it was not ready for general use yet, despite people telling me how easy it was. Then after complaining how that just wasted hour of my time people said "it’s free you are not entitled to anything.
If Linux isn’t ready for general users then we aren’t entitled to waste their time by saying it is.
I walked him through how things worked once
And there’s why it worked.
X is a disaster. Wayland is an awesome display server but its input is a shit show for legacy software and software built around MS Windows quirks and this is a problem.
This is very true, but even after all this tine, somehow Wayland still doesn’t support many basic features and programs, making people (including myself) hesitant on the switch
Yes patience is important but people actually want to make the switch nowadays, but they still run into many issues which really need to get fixed in order for Linux to be a viable desktop OS.
Most good programs aren’t designed by billion dollar teams but by a few people (or even a single one) who pay good attention to UX and don’t treat it like a fifth class citizen. Linux is allowed to have the guardrails fall off for users who want it, but it’s 2026 and the experience for novice users is still worse than Windows 20 years ago.
Linus doing the world a massive favor by showing the flaws of Linux and still getting so much flak for it by the average Linux user is ridiculous.

6·20 days agoIf we killed all billionaires now, only more would rise in their place.
So you’re saying if we keep killing bilionaires, eventually everyone will be a billionaire?

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Thoughts on privacy focused smart glasses?
72·27 days agoWhy not? AR glasses which don’t film the environment but just give a HUD would be rad.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Pro-Iran group turns Ubuntu DDoS into shakedown
15·2 months agoPrevious targets seem pretty good.

Not sure why they’re going for Ubuntu now but maybe they can kill snaps once and for all

Linux@lemmy.ml•Are you on which team: vim, nano, micro, er ed for you terminal based text editor?
13·2 months agoYes and your argument is that one is superior because it shows hotkeys

36·2 months agoWhy doesn’t my Lemmy comment box show shortcut hints? How will I know the shortcut for copy, cut and paste? I tried pressing alt+6 but it did nothing. Curse you Ecmascript from 1997!
