The fact that the Russian government came out this fast and said they need a version with their own commits is, perhaps, telling.

My daily trickplay task finished in 1 minute after the update. So apparently not.

It’s still active – save the communities that got kneecapped by mods during the revolt (and sadly, most of those are now Discord-based rather than having any appreciable activity here).

The activity there now is a lot… dumber. Like much of the internet, the ratio of real people to braindead bots on Reddit is a lot different than a few years ago.

A lot of stuff ONLY has viable Q&A discussion there…

As much as I love the idea of Lemmy, try finding active communities here for: MAME or any other videogame emulation… Plex… The breed of your family dog/cat… Most any sort of non-Fedi-focused brand/podcast/personality…

Yes, I can create a new community. Then I just sit in it by myself, and occasionally deal with spam.

The majority of Reddit discourse on this is wild. The crowd there is going HARD to try and paint IA in the most negative light possible.

I know we don’t like Reddit here, but for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1g7w0rh/internet_archive_issues_continue_this_time_with/

It’s almost as if the “hackers” and/or copyright holders are running that conversation.

You should be backing up any personal data you don’t want to lose to an offsite location? All I know is that if I did that, alone, on Comcast’s 1.2TB data cap, I’d be cooked.

Not to mention that individual games are commonly over 100GB these days, and have frequent patches. If you work from home, add that in. If you watch any sort of TV, that’s most likely streamed, now, too.

Sure, there was a time when I was always under the 1.2TB of my old Xfinity plan. That time has passed. Luckily, the T-Mobile internet I use now doesn’t have a cap.

So, uh… Why does Elon even care about this?

Is this from that Iranian hack of the Trump organization or something?

(EDIT: Literal first paragraph of the article. Yes.)

I’m surprised that they don’t take even a minimal amount of effort to clean those things up before selling it. A little dab of isopropryl alcohol does wonders.

That cartridge looks like it spent the last 20 years in a butt.

Someone buys fake on eBay. Plays it. Sells it to Gamestop. Minimum wage employee does not spot that it’s fake and it ends up on the used game shelf.

None of this is new.

The Holy Trinity: VIM, Arch, and Rust

Actual pharmacist here, working in pharmacy IT.

Unlike other industries, Pharmacy is not particularly thrilled about or interested in AI. In fact, my hospital explicitly blocks access to all LLMs.

I was actually kind of hoping to see what Microsoft is claiming here, and just walked away from this post more confused.

Hey, at least all of us peeps in the US can upgrade our >$100 capped plans to unlimited for the low-low price of $30-50/month (i.e. what some of our friends overseas pay for their whole-ass unlimited crazyfast internet plan).

Your -arrs see the torrent download folder as /mnt/arr-stack/torrents/completed, and qBittorrent sees it as /downloads.

Maybe this is only a problem with Transmission, but I’ve had trouble making my Arr stack play nice with torrents when the different apps think downloads live in different folders.

Your ISP with a 1.2TB data cap: “lol.”

Strongly recommend a KDE-based distro if coming from Windows.

Gnome is too janky when you’re used to the workflow in Windows. It’s almost like Windows 8, which nobody uses if they can help it.

KDE is just way more familiar.

Congratulations. Your new position is…

Boardroom Table.

This is an issue because of Steam’s 30% cut.

Other retailers take a smaller cut. But because Steam mandates that the Steam storefront always gets the lowest price, publishers can’t take advantage of that lower cut to offer lower prices. They can only lower the price to something that doesn’t torpedo them with a 30% cut on Steam.

SHHHH!!!

Monopolies and authoritarians aren’t bad as long as people like them! Hadn’t you heard?

The person I was arguing with was saying that “infrastructure is anything which is something anyone can do”. I gave an example of something that anyone can do which isn’t infrastructure.

It’s absolutely a direct refuation — a counter-example which disproves their original statement. It’s not a “straw man”, as much as you get mad and scream that it is.

I know that shouting “straw man!” is the first step of trying to deflect from being wrong on the Internet… But if you’re going to do it, at least know what a straw man is.

My argument is that “Infrastructure” != “anyone can do it”.

Infrastructure is something that benefits and maintains the general public. Bitcoin benefits a handful of cryptobros, billionaires… and most importantly ransomware rings.
