Me then: No it’s fucked!

Me now: A filthy degenerate, a gleeful profligate, a broken gear in the machine.

Software quality collapse

That started happening years ago.

The developers of .net should be put on trial for crimes against humanity.

Why shouldn’t I make the Torment Nexus!?

Sounds like Discord is about to have 2 million cases of arbitration to sort out.

One person takes them to arbitration, it’s short work for their legal team, if 1000 do it’s harder, if 100,000 do, you still have to respond in a timely manner. The costs would be astronomical.

Valve and a few others removed it for that reason, it’s a bomb waiting to blow.

It hasn’t taken any jobs, but this will keep being repeated so it can be used as a bludgeon against pay rises and keeping up with inflation.

‘you’re lucky to have a job’

No Raspi support for AV1 either. I’m stuck in patent hell HEVC land.

Look at those sleek lines, it all interlocks.

AV7 is clearly the best.

Av7 - oh god imagine if you pulled that seven in a bit. Sexy.

Broadcom has always been a kernel black hole.

So many routers stuck on Linux 2.6 or 3.4 due to Broadcom.

The community noticeboard at the general store is the web! /s

Fuck [them]

No.

More 4-5 story blocks with commercial on the ground floor and real family sized flats, with storage.

Apartments here tend to all be built like they’re ready for AirBNB - no storage, lots of wasted space for pretty bathrooms and foyers.

To play devils advocate- they need more dark spots. Against the sunlight up some hills, they basically become invisible.

eh, when I suggested Ukraine start targeting Moscow they just outright banned me.

There are plenty that will boot/install Linux just fine but won’t do a nice clean install of Windows 11.

Modern Thinkpad E16 (AMD) is one of them, a clean USB won’t work, it will always stick at not finding required drivers.

You need to inevitably create a USB install from the MS USB Media Creation tool, running on the machine itself from the included crapware Windows - to get an installer USB that will work.

Different if you’re just pushing a wim over the network from endpoint/scm, but it’s basically broken for local users.

Hey ICE, go fuck yourselves.

So no GNOME on BSD anymore?

If you want GNOME you need a corporate aligned linux-only desktop with all the IBM trimmings? IBM who has been known forever for the poor quality of their code? IBM who pays by the KLOC?

Their own review found that was almost entirely due to the unlikeability of Bill Shorten, but is trundled out by every rusted on labor voter every time.

Labor have a vested interest in keeping property prices high as they themselves are all landlords.

They’ve done nothing about housing since they’ve been in power and keep decrying the previous government as if their still in opposition.

No, they’re the ‘better than the last lot’ party. Labor are a party of and for Landlords.

The Greens are the good party.

Really only depends on how new the new GPU is vs. how old the Kernel is.

example: If you’re running Debian Stable and trying to put in an RTX 5090, you’ll likely have a bad time, since neither the kernel nor Mesa support blackwell on Trixie without backporting.

• If you’re using a rolling release distro, just update first but you’ll probably be fine already. If you’re using a point release distro, make sure that release supports your hardware first.

• If you’re buying some older (but new to you) hardware, you’ll probably be fine.

• You’ll be fine with anything AMD or Intel even on debian stable, since they’re both active in developing their linux support, where nVidia doesn’t support FOSS drivers.

• If you’re buying nVidia that new/powerful, you’ll be better served by their proprietary drivers you can install - just keep in mind you won’t be able to run very recent (and certainly not bleeding edge) kernels with the proprietary nV drivers.

Probably why they went for the contract. That’s some big money headed Larry’s way.
