You can just point your domain at your local IP, e.g. 192.168.0.100

Maybe a riff on lutris? Not sure why though

The feature is explicit sync, which is a brand new graphics stack API that would fix some issues with nvidia rendering under Wayland.

It’s not a big deal, canonical basically said ‘this isn’t a bug fix or security patch, it’s not getting backported into our LTS release’ - so if you want it you have to install GNOME/mutter from source, switch operating systems, or just wait a few months for the next Ubuntu release

GNOME said this update is a minor bug fix (point release)

Canonical said this is actually a major feature update, and doesn’t want to backport it into its LTS repositories

Yes. With a custom gnome shell fork.

Their summer release will have the new desktop environment they have been working on (Cosmic) which will be a big point of differentiation

Not with 64gb ram and 16+ cores on that budget

English is not my native language, and I don’t understand what “Have taken up farming.”

It means they aren’t developing software anymore because they are growing vegetables instead

To add: Bluetooth and WiFi both use the 2.4ghz spectrum. They are on the same chipset because otherwise you would need two antennas

A couple of them fall into the “technically true, but misleading territory” - I’m sure the person handing this out couldn’t identify which though - broken clock right twice a day and all

“Can you reverse effects” - no you can’t make your immune system forget how to work. Probably not what they are going for here though.

“Risk of […] or other side effects?” - yeah the vaccines generally give people a headache and short lived fever symptoms

“Have there been deaths?” - The astrazeneca vaccine had like a 0.000001% mortality risk (more likely to die driving to the pharmacy), and was pulled in many countries because that was deemed too dangerous. Person handing out the flyer has likely been parroting “mRNA vaccines cause blood clots” nonsense for years while being completely unaware that AZ was a traditional viral vector vaccine

“Are there doctors recommending NOT taking it” - yeah, there are many notable anti-vaccine doctors, what they typically have in common is they earned their doctorate in computer science, social studies, or some other field that gives them no qualifications to talk about immunology

They aren’t being made anymore - people are just reselling old hoarded stock

They aren’t talking about system administrators. They are talking about 3rd party software presenting a privilege escalation prompt (administrator access) and changing your default browser without you knowing about it

You could set it up in docker whilst still on windows, and then all you need to do is copy/paste your compose file onto your new Linux machine, that way you aren’t struggling to learn two things at the same time (alleviates the “I don’t know if the problem is with my docker config or my host OS”)

Actually, I‘m just excluding companies like yours because they are making way too much revenue on the basis of FOSS without giving back

You don’t know anything about my company? You don’t know what proportion of FOSS vs proprietary software we use, nor how much we give back lol.

It would completely break the locked down proprietary software model and break walled gardens wide open.

This is very pie in the sky. Your license idea only penalizes small to medium sized businesses. Alphabet’s 1% would just go to Chromium/AOSP, and Meta’s 1% would just go to React/Torch

You are probably better off setting up a non-profit and running traditional license fees through it into your payment union then. I can’t emphasize how much of a non-starter 1% of revenues is for any business (it’s my company’s entire IT budget, including salary) - you are basically just saying “personal use only” with more words.

1% is an exorbitant amount of money, and more than most businesses would be able to donate via credit card, so they would still have to reach out to repository owners for banking info

They would have to get in touch to figure out how to pay 1% either way, no?

The lower end Garmins are only like $20-40 more than a Fitbit (and frankly they are so much better it justifies the price)

Fitbits also only last 6-12 months - so depending on how unlucky you are with your warranty timing the Garmin likely works out to be cheaper

“how dare they use the right tool for the job without taking the time to learn how to do it sub optimally first”

That’s still not that much data

Gaming is 10-20% of the ISPs total network load, and the MW3 launch constituted like a 110% increase over base network load, so yes it’s a lot of data.

Advertisements and crawlers constantly use up far more bandwidth.

Crawlers rely on private connections between datacenters, very little of that traffic touches residential ISPs

Fight the real problems instead of blaming the users.

Literally no one is blaming users - There are plenty enough reasons to hate most ISPs, we don’t have to make up facts to find new ways to be mad.

Literally why CDNs and bitorrent tech exist

Neither of these reduces the amount of bandwidth an end user requires to download a 120gb file. If anything torrenting makes it more problematic because the upload is spread amongst a dozen low density residential users rather than a single high throughput datacenter

This is just the ISPs posturing to raise rates.

Ya absolutely. Doesn’t change the fact that ‘gaming uses very little bandwidth’ is only considering the UDP packets sent during an online gaming session and ignoring all the other sources of usage.

I literally have 5-10gb of updates queued up the first time I open steam nowadays
