i feel saddened that people focus entirely on hindsight but take the current situation as inevitable result of the past, and regard it as unchangeable.

no, this does not have to be treated like any other capitalist asset. if there’s a shred of belief that the privacy and dignity of us humans matters to us now in 2025, just get together and disown 23andme, nuke the data, and turn the page.

unfortunately we have to stick harder to the principle of capitalism than any crusader in the middle ages had to stick to the Bible… helpless powerful species

ah i see, a fellow eloquent butt enjoyer

you don’t even have to tell it 😎 Linux is the silent dangerous type standing in a shady corner

is abandoning kepler related to the higher gpu driver requirement or anti cheat architecture or both? i can’t imagine this change saving more than a few megabytes

😂 they always sneak a rotten little package into these big lists man

man I’m planning to take a look at that too, hearing a lot of good things. currently just goofing around on arch and I’m breaking my system every few months when i compile my graphics stack a bit differently 🥲

even worse, the fact that they gatekeep it with the 4000 series for no good reason just goes to show that they turned from hardware maker to designer of walled gardens.

i think it’s way cooler how half a year ago i was able to use a mod for cyberpunk 2077 and mesa’s amazing gpu code to run ray tracing and fsr frame gen together on RDNA1 - which lacks hardware ray tracing acceleration, and at a time where cyberpunk didn’t have fsr3.

fuck Nvidia, making stuff like this impossible

this meme is completely true. those pests are even following me around to whatever forum i go 😡

desktop icons will only render on 5090 😎

the same freedom that affords him the ability to be a dumbass in public affords you the freedom to not be dead.

though i do get the worries that come with the extremism spreading out.

most social media anger is trying to fix problems that aren’t problems. meanwhile politicians get away not pivoting towards UBI. then we get more nationalists, and then we get more social media shitstorms. 😬 anyways, enjoy the ride everyone

i bet you’re wiggling right now dude don’t act like you’re above it 😎

i don’t get what’s going on in this comment section - are we going to be mad at some code for what a person says on social media?

i tried running Firefox on my 2018 budget phone and every https handshake takes 5 awkward seconds and it’s more like 0.5 seconds on brave. it’s open source, built in dark mode, and runs well for me. it’s not even a gut feeling thing, on Android this is objectively beating the competition within the privacy conscious space.

i believe COVID is as natural and genuine as the historically evident spanish flu - but even if someone exists who is too stupid to get it, I’m happily enjoying the fact that he has nothing to do with me

that’s true but i think compared to most other consoles nowadays it goes a very sustainable path. valve does nothing to prevent you from running gog games, which are true digital ownership at least. i know physical media are the most tangible option in the moment, but in the long run blurays for example actually have a limited lifespan

if you play games on arch, your brain clockrate slowly goes up over time, so the games seem to slow down 😎

precisely. a few years ago i thought people will become more used to cyberspace and at some point revolt against digital blackboxes as much as if the builders or housing agents would put actual blackboxes into people’s homes. but no, digital literacy is going down, i guess the newest generation doesn’t even know that we had start menus without candy crush ads at some point 😔

billionaires and their super important opinions eh? having money is a personality trait apparently

your sis needs to make a dotfile git 😎

I’ll chime in with a weird take: this is a privacy community, we are united in a sense of defending our peaceful and unproblematic browsing on the internet and sending messages to friends from lunatics who seem to want everyone treated with the suspicion of highest criminal activity. the article posted describes a “privacy infringement” onto someone who not only has already broken the rule, but strongly publicized it by making people have to smell it. the perpetrators didn’t even have an expectation of privacy, so the premise is ridiculous.

I’ll say it like this: if the tv detects nicotine patches on someone’s skin, then i pick up the torches and pitchforks.
