Wenn es nur mehr von diesen philanthropischen Unternehmen gäbe, die Unternehmen aufkaufen einfach nur um sie finanziell zu unterstützen.

Wäre wohl das erste mal

Most gamers don’t specifically follow gaming news or keep up with all the latest scandals (of which there are too many to keep up with in any case), but they will notice if the nostalgia project they’ve been looking forward to is suddenly gone.

It is true and has been my experience for the last decade or so. Unfortunately, OP is trying to use a GPU from 2015 that’s still based on GCN 1.0 with the newer amdgpu driver stack, which is not officially supported. Effectively, OP is getting a taste of what it was like before AMD started pouring ressources into their open source GPU drivers.

None of them are right. Two thirds are looking in the wrong direction and the males facial expression is the exact opposite of the original photo.

Wow, you’re right. I can’t believe I forgot about that era, when you could expect to see John Bridgman providing insight in every thread under AMDGPU news.

Maybe my memory is just warped. How far back did you have to go?

The Phoronix comment section has always been kinda shit. Maybe one in every thousand posts will contain anything of value (in most cases a comment by a developer telling the peanut gallery why they’re wrong).

A threat actor with code execution on a Linux desktop immediately has access to the filesystem and can do whatever anyway, in practice

No.

TempleOS is a marvel in many ways, but it’s not particularly useful to any normal person. I wouldn’t even say that Terry Davis was an asshole, because it feels wrong to hold a paranoid schizophrenic responsible for his manic episodes.

This is a decent read concerning the effectiveness of the systems designed to prevent abuse.

And the ability to breathe.

A steno machine is just a kind of chorded keyboard.

I think you’re just being contrarian for no reason. The market for specialty input devices is much smaller compared to “normal” keyboards but it still exists and has become much more diverse over the past decade, with many new niche products being launched. This isn’t even the first commercially available chorded keyboard. From the video, this particular iteration seems to be marketed towards mute people and I’m sure that they or people with other kinds of disabilities are probably glad to have any products at all available to aid them in daily tasks. Not every product or company needs to participate in a high volume market. Apparently, the chorded inputs can also be reprogrammed and it can work in a normal keyboard mode, which should make it more flexible than something designed purely for stenography.

Literally nothing happens.

Linux init conservatives: Alright that’s the final straw, systemd!

XML aims to be both human-readable and machine-readable, but manages neither. It’s only really worth it if you actually need the complexity or extensibility, otherwise it’s just a major pain to map XML structures to any sensible type representation. I’ve been forced to work with some of the protocols that people like to present as examples of good XML usage and I hate every single one of them.

Fuck YAML though. That spec is longer and more complex than any other markup language I know of and it doesn’t have a single fully compliant implementation.

C has not aged well, despite its popularity in many applications. I’m grateful for the incredible body of work that kernel developers have assembled over the decades, but there are some very useful aspects of rust that might help alleviate some of the hurdles that aspiring contributors face. This was not a push by rust evangelists, but an attempt to enable modernization efforts at least for new driver development. If it doesn’t work out, that’s fair enough but I’m grateful for the willingness - especially of Linus - to try something new.

That’s not entirely accurate. Google’s influence on the web has grown even beyond the web browser engine majority share (which is bad enough in itself). They offer one of the most popular web frameworks and run several of the most popular websites. There is almost no way to compete when the market leader is simultaneously the developer and the major user of new features. Of course everyone else is going to switch to using your browser engine. What else are they gonna do? There are even websites now that just check the user agent string and refuse service if you don’t use a chromium based browser. Shit’s fucked.

Maybe a fixed line-height?

The whole premise of this discussion was about technological progress and growth going by your initial comment. That means refining existing models and training new ones, which is going to cost a lot of energy. The way this industry is going, even privacy conscious usage of open source models will contribute to the insane energy usage by creating demand and popularizing the technology.
