I agree that's very annoying sometimes but at the same time very beneficial for in-game performance as it greatly reduces the amount of computations the game has to do at runtime. If you have a powerful enough PC or the game isn't very demanding you can just disable shader pre-caching in steam settings and it shouldn't matter much but it's a real life saver for more demanding titles and imo worth all that wait.

...I wouldn't know 👀

Now that you mention it, there really has been like a year since rust has first been introduced the the kernel officially. I don't know if any parts of it have been written in rust as of now or whether new drivers have been made, but I suppose it's most likely still experimental in a way.

what do you mean? it's still being used in many many projects and is as great as ever

Oh my god, so many of my friends studying computer science try to complete entire projects using chatgpt without even understanding the basics and then fail miserably because they can't even properly form the prompt

True, but at least its engine, WebKit, is open source and a few other open-source browsers are based on it. Also it works on Linux.

y-yes

I use arch btw

Thank you, I really enjoy that theme @ass_destroyer@lemmy.blahaj.zone

I think the terminal should be in light mode tho to match the rest

Apparently nowadays they were able to extend the battery life quite a bit with the new generation of 61Wh batteries (instead of the previous 55Wh)

Just look at South Korea where Samsung's revenue is equal to a whopping 17% of the entire country's GDP, making them hold enormous power over politics, education, journalism and the legal system.

To be honest I expected nothing else from the Linux kernel as by now it's so widespread and essential to so many companies' operations that they need to have their dedicated developers to make patches and push new features into the kernel. The notable fact though is that Linux is licensed under GPL and somehow the companies still embraced it, so it's not as "toxic" to them as expected. I am aware of the fact that Linux and most other popular GPL projects are mostly contained to binaries and there's even one notable example with the ogg vorbis audio format where Richard Stallman himself decided that relincensing it under BSD license instead of the LGPL would improve its adoption over the patented MP3 so clearly GPL isn't always the right choice, but if people don't actively push for copyleft licenses then we'll forever be stuck in a world of companies actively blocking the spread of knowledge, selling us software filled with DRM and proprietary software, making insane profits, but graciously letting a few developers to contribute some of their company time back to these open source projects. I don't think it's fair and GPL may not be solution for all the problems, but what else it to be done?

I don't think there's a hidden conspiracy behind projects such as this one; it may be just that it's simply much easier for projects with permissive licenses to take off as corporations and private entities are willing to sometimes submit patches and contribute to these projects on the side while sponsoring the developers with money. However, it's still definitely not proportionate to the value that the community contributes back and basically gives to the corporations for free with most of them packaging these libraries and binaries and selling their software for much higher profit without ever contributing anything back. There is a reason why these permissive licenses are called the cuck licenses and I wish that more people would start caring about the license they publish their code under, but the sad reality is that, especially in the rust community, the MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses became the de facto standard, and that was without much pressure from the big corporations, though rust has its origins under the umbrella of Mozilla so it's not that surprising given this context.

The long flag is pretty sick ngl, we need more flags like that

They are certainly useful for search engines that index images, because then they get to know what is actually happening in the image, allowing people to search for it using keywords.

Unfortunately lemmy devs removed captchas recently https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2922 so email verification and/or rate limiting is probably the only real option for protection.

Wow, this looks very promising

I 100% want this too. I currently use GNOME with Pop Shell which works ig but it's very wonky and buggy with some of the apps. You also cannot really change the layout easily which is criminal. So if a tiling DE was to come out I'd definitely switch to it.

new flag just dropped

It's a communication protocol with a federated network - see https://matrix.org/

how did you know that I'm a stellaris player?

If you have a matrix account there is a chat for lemmy development: #lemmydev:matrix.org

People should really consider joining the smaller instances, because as things stand right now the main ones have thousands of users (and still growing rapidly, causing problems) while many smaller ones have just a few dozen users but probably enough hardware and network capacity to get hundreds more.

Anyhow, my instance has not gone down yet so feel welcomed to join https://lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz/ if you're iterested :>

or when you see a nice girl and you can't decide if you want to be with her or to be like her lmao

yeah the rules are open source - for more information look up chess rule 34

damn bro this server must have more security holes than the tournaments that Hans Niemann attends

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as en passant, is in fact, chess/en passant, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, chess plus en passant. En passant is not a move unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning chess game made useful by the chessboard, pieces and legal moves comprising a full game as defined by FIDE rules.

holy social theory which regards the union of order with the absence of all direct government of man by man as the political ideal; absolute individual liberty

I'm afraid of that too as an admin, and I've already seen that some people have experienced problems with bots spamming crypto ads in some communities. Ultimately the bulk of the responsibility rests on the shoulders of instance admins. Turning on email and captcha verification is a possibility, there are requests limits that can be set, you can utilize services such as cloudflare etc.

Reddit also had problems like that, especially not long ago with random ad bots following people out of the blue; they couldn't fully get rid of that and I think that on lemmy bots are also going to become a problem, however there are options to limit their impact.

ahhhh I see now, that's smart

but you're only able to do that because it goes through a proxy, the flagwaver doesn't directly request an image from here

how
