Why does the USA have jurisdiction over what TSMC (a Taiwanese company, AFAIK) does with their manufacturing tools, even if they come from the US?

This is also super useful for people deciding what to buy, when the vendor would obviously not be keen to let you plug a USB into their device and boot into the scary Linux

Not a pro by any means, but I mount my internal drives at /mnt. Its also where I mount my NAS

AFAIK mount point doesn’t matter

I haven’t been able to use it. I’m on Endeavour with KDE and every time I try to log in with Wayland I get a black screen and a very laggy mouse. The programs I open have streaks of black through them and are also laggy Not sure if I have some weird stuff installed in the background, but I’ve had to go back to X11

When you’ve clicked on the show and its showing you all the seasons/episodes you have, click on the settings (three dots) and select “Identify”

It’ll bring up a menu where you can input the name of the show, or its iMDb code, or a few other identifiers and it’ll show the matches it can find. From there you can select the correct show and it’ll populate the metadata accordingly

As AMD, Intel, Tenstorrent, and other companies develop better hardware, more software developers will be inclined to design for these platforms, and Nvidia’s CUDA dominance could ease over time.

This seems a bit optimistic to me. CUDA is currently the de facto method of utilising a GPU’s power efficiently. This makes them an easy choice for anyone with serious compute power needs. The other manufacturers are fighting an uphill battle trying to create an alternative that won’t be used until it is definitively better.

This just seems like a catch 22 to me

I browse Reddit occasionally without logging in (I also shredded my account after the API changes) and I see many posts that make me worried about the sort of data LLMs will collect once Reddit management allows that

Bigger number better

…probably

You can install Heroic Games launcher, which is an alternative Epic + GOG front-end (it also works on Windows and is apparently better than the real thing). You can use it to manage the compatibility layers similarly to Steam, but in my experience its function is on a game-by-game basis

As another commenter has said, go through ProtonDB and check all the games you can’t live without

I can’t. He wears it too well

Off-topic, but there’s a cat that lives nearby that has your name

The day we can use biocomputers like that is when criminals start hiding URLs in their DNA to rickroll the police chasing them

Technically plants do respire oxygen and produce CO2, its just that the photosynthesis process produces more O2 than they need, so its a net offset 🤓

There have been experiments done since the 1800s proving that plants can survive in a closed environment, presumably by regulating the amount they photosynthesise, so there probably wouldn’t be a global loss of plant life

Haven’t played Gostwire Tokyo, so I’m not sure exactly how it plays, but you might also enjoy the Witcher 3 and Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor/War. They both have good combat systems and skill trees (although they work quite differently), as well as an open explorable world. I’ve played Shadow of Mordor (Steam version), so I know that works fine on Linux

Fuck it, give the students maps

Give the teacher maps

Everyone gets a map!

I’ve used phind a few times and it’s pretty good. I’m not sure if it’s open source, though

Not a whole lot of experience distro-hopping here (went from Ubuntu to Endeavour and haven’t really changed since) but from what I know it seems like most distros have their place. Arch is highly customisable and all rolling release distros are good for gamers and those who need the latest software. Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, and other LTS distros are good for servers and newcomers (fewer big updates and therefore fewer potential crises)

For the sake of answering the question, I’d say Ubuntu is my least favourite. Its pretty bloated, and then there’s the whole snap fiasco

Arcology = a word I only learned recently from Stellaris

Do you use a service for the relays, or is it possible to self-host?
