The threads/forum feature on discord is just awful. Topics get buried and I think the general ethos of discord encourages people to just spam in the chat channels rather than wait in a forum for help.

I mean using matrix or any chat service is giving your data to someone else. What's the distrust with revolt?

Looking at their git repos it seems pretty above board: multiple open source clients by community members, APGL license, docker images and backend repo all pretty accessible in one place.

No hate on Matrix of course, but theres a few people who seem to have the ick for Revolt and I wonder if Ive missed something.

I'm still pretty solid with my Yuzu install so I've no need to move to Ryujinx for now, but assuming they avoid Ninty's legal team I'll likely pick up Ryujinx when I need a fresh steamOS install and/or Ryujinx surpasses Yuzu's compatibility in a game I wanna play

googled Sudachi, and its GPL 3 but:

• Contributions aren't allowed
• Hosted on github (might be an issue tracker instead of the live repo tho)
• Claims not to paywall features, before listing a bunch of features behind a paywall.

yeah that's gonna go real swell for them

Nintendo moment

in my uni house, the landlord once barrelled in without notice (highly illegal!!) to give us a rug, a new coffee table, and a bunch of crappy canvas wall art.

After we decided to sign for another year, following a few viewings, the landlord barrelled in without notice again to take it all back lmao.

Firstly: its Haaretz, so pretty biased as a source. But secondly: lol lmao.

something really funny

Kernel anticheat is just like gaming piracy, where developers are constantly fighting ghosts rather than tackling the social issues that encourage the behaviours they want to avoid.

In practice, client side anti cheat is essentially DOA because hardware cheats that analyse the player's screen on a 2nd computer and proxy inputs to your mouse USB have made it so cheat clients are never actually executing code on the host machine.

At that point, even players cant tell someone is cheating because the cheats aren't modifying the game state in a noticeable way- they're still weak to effects that obscure your vision and have inputs that are difficult to differentiate from a "real" player.

IMO cheating is a social problem and one that is totally impossible to beat with rootkits by design.

Im generally not a fan of the socalled "horseshoe theory" but Germany has gone so far to "atone" for the holocaust that its actively persecuting Jewish people again which isnt exactly promising.

I like Dietpi. It's just a few homelab scripts on top of a stripped down debian ISO designed to reduce resource usage for homelabs while giving some utilities for installing popular homelab software by wrapping common projects around its own "software repo" (custom scripts for installing and configuring projects so they're a lot easier to get running than normal).

I run mine from a raspberry pi 4b but you can use x86 or other SBCs if you like.

Seeing all the hetzner mentions made me finally look into it and

1. yep, they seem to be cheaper than alternatives without getting into shady territory and
2. pretty easy to set up! I finally have an offsite backup of my home server and it only took me like an hour to do

Most of them are embedded into stuff like storage controllers for SSDs (Western Digital is using RISC-V for all future storage controllers) or server chips, but you can get development boards on Alibaba which are at best similar or just ahead of the Raspberry pi4 atm

He straight up used transphobic and ableist slurs to refer to his own community members. He's part of the rot.

Nothing directly, but hyprland being a Wayland-only compositor means the project has input on protocols and the general direction of the spec, which is done entirely within the Freedesktop infrastructure. All FDO has said is "we dont want your community or your toxic behaviour to be associated with FDO" which is rightfully so considering their commercial and community obligations.

Dont want to run your FOSS project professionally and respectfully towards the multitudes of people who may want to work with you? Then dont get upset when people dont want to work with you out of principle.

the package manager was first released in 2003, so nearly 21!
