A typical bike-riding leftist urbanite who also happens to be a hockey-crazy Western Canadian.
Check which linux-firmware-* packages you have installed. Arch recently split the linux firmware into a bunch of separate packages, and made the old package depend on pretty much all of them. So unless you already knew about this and uninstalled the packages you don’t need, you likely have a bunch of unnecessary firmware stuffed into your fallback initramfs.
Check in alsamixer and see if maybe it’s muted. Alsa will sometimes mute things randomly when configurations change.
One link on your website leads to a neverending labyrinth of nonesense to slowly poison a LLM.
Odds are pretty damn good, I’d say.
Still, it’s a distinction barely worth making. Garden varity pigs doing this shit are equally as unjust as brand name Pigs doing it.
That would work.
I’m not sure what could be in (or missing from) your environment that would break sudo, but it’s a place to check at least.
One big difference is that sway doesn’t run as a login process (and neither does gdm), meaning none of your .profile files are getting sourced. Check how your environment variables differ between i3 and sway and see if that might be the issue.
The word ‘nodule’ still makes me gag
To interject with a somewhat pedantic point, nothing is truly apolitical. But there is something to be said about sensing the proper time and place to start a political argument.
Such is the problem with dictators in any situation. A benevolent dictator might be one of the most productive ways to run a project, but at some point there has to be a successor. Even a mildly-less-benevolent dictator could cause a lot of damage. Linux needs a governance structure with checks and balances even if it means slower decision making; it’s too important to let fall into the wrong hands.
I’m gonna join in with everyone and recommend completely zeroing all the drives (make sure you unmount them before doing it). It will take a while but at least you will have drives in a known state and can eliminate that as a possible issue.
Asking out of genuine naivety, why do you do that?
Ads are a bigger business than you might expect. Get enough eyeballs in one place and brands will be tripping over themselves to give you money just to mention their name. Take the superbowl for example. It’s usually the most viewed event every year in the US, so naturally there is a tradition of advertisers pulling out all the stops and making high-budget bombastic commercials for that specific occasion. You can imagine how attractive it is for brands to want to put their ads on big social media sites, where psychological tricks are used to capture as much attention as possible at all times, instead of just once per year.
Then there’s the user data angle. The big sites all have millions of users who constantly give away personal information without even being prompted, and that makes it really easy for the companies who run them to analyze what makes each user tick and serve ads to the people who are most likely to click on them. This elevates the rate brands are willing to pay even further.
Those two things, along with a suite of anti-competitive practices, are enough to get sites to the point of being mostly profitable. Venture capital and hype-based market speculation get them the rest of the way.
Linus himself uses a macbook, I’m sure the mainline kernel has decent support for somewhat recent hardware
Yeah, I really wish people would be a little more tactful when they go on performative tirades like this. It’s giving “old man yells at cloud” energy. Ridiculous behaviour when you think about it. People can block clouds, yelling is worse than useless.
To be totally fair, nostr’s whole thing is that users can delete all of their federated data if they want to, so it makes sense if they are upset about having their data copied to a place they can’t control.
Not sure how realistic that is with the data being publicly accessible via the web, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the they have some kind of license that gives the dmca request the ability to hold a nonzero amount of water. Then again, I wouldn’t be suprised if completely fails, either.
I love Jon Stewart but I think he’s a little off base with this take. Are we supposed to not call out the overtly fascist stuff the government is doing? Will that get more people to listen the next time we have to call out an overtly fascistic act or will we have to hold our tongue then, as well? How many grannies need to be eaten and impersonated by wolves before we’re allowed to move past the “ooh what sharp teeth you have” crap?
With fascism especially, if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. The people going through life like everything is fine are implicitly supporting the fascism. I’m not going to stop yelling about how a pack of wolves has taken over the government, just because some people think the word is overused.
My brain accepted this new piece of information and immediately tried to recalibrate my sense of wellbeing based on how much time I spend playing cozy games.
So there was a bizarre moment where I felt positively dandy.
Did anyone else get a mental health buff just from reading this headline?
The more it hurts the more it shows you really care, right?
Remember when everyone thought putin was bluffing about Ukraine? Now would be an appropriate time to learn our lesson from that.
Next thing we know, trump will be launching a special operation to ‘defend’ the culturally american regions of alberta. Although he won’t have to do much, considering who’s currently in charge of the province.
Hell yeah, feed an LLM enough fairy tales and abra cadabra, rhyming becomes a form of magic irl.
