Do other languages have similar acronyms to 'tbh', 'imo', 'smh', etc?
  • Assuming you mean texting style acronyms, yeah, we have them in German and I'd assume in other languages too.

    Alongside the stuff borrowed from English 1:1, there's stuff like bb for "Bis bald" (See you soon) or hdl for "hab dich lieb" (Love you)

    I'd assume other languages do the same out of efficiency or laziness.

  • Nvidia Looks Towards Linux Kernel Upstream
  • What? I thought Nvidia didn't want to mainline the open driver??

    Edit: Grrrr, clickbait. This is not about their open driver but as far as I understood about exposing a more minimal driver for vGPU usage, in light of development of Nova, a Rust based nouveau successor.

  • With GPL, you're programming Freedom. With MIT, you're programming for free.
  • Are we really going to start this pointless discussion again? They are two licenses with different use cases and different considerations. GPL has a lot more mental overhead to using it, MIT is hands off, both of these aren't inherently invalid.

    Also Tanenbaum in your own link mentions that Intel probably would have just written their own microkernel if need be.

  • Toilet rule
  • What about the uh.... hate speech toggle....

    I'm not sure if they backpedaled on that but come on.

  • Wer hat was gewählt?
  • Also Bonn als Hauptstadt nochmal?

  • Die Linken Parteien wollen sich wohl eine Volksfront zusammenkratzen um gegen Le Pen vorzubeugen. Gibt keine Wahlumfrage für diese Jahr anscheinend aber NUPES (linke Koalition) ist jetzt auch keine kleine Kraft (jedoch ist PS wohl hier dann nicht drin).

    Ich interpretiere das wahrscheinlich falsch weil ich nicht eingebunden bin in französischer Politik, aber ich weiß nicht ob die Linke sich einfach so hinwerfen würde. Scheint mir, selbst wenn wir so tun das es wahrscheinlich wäre, ein Glücksspiel.

  • ich 🇫🇷 iel
  • Verstehe ich nicht, haben sie doch gezeigt mit der Europawahl und in Wahlumfragen. Setzt er die Amtszeit seiner Partei aufs Spiel?

  • Is cloudflare breaking the internet or fixing it?
  • Yeah, it's a technically difficult problem to deal with because you're probably often sharing an IP address or a block of IPs with bad actors. You can't really share details about it without giving them a hand.

    I guess cynically said, you could probably go through their VPN service to fix it, I've seen that from time to time.

  • Is cloudflare breaking the internet or fixing it?
  • Essentially, their entire schtick is being a middleman. By sitting between the server you want to visit, they can do helpful things like DDOS protection, being a CDN (basically store website assets closer to you), managing HTTPS for you and providing access to your website over IPv6 even if your server doesn't have it.

    By nature of that though, their position is quite sensitive since it has become a service that a good chunk of the Internet goes through. That causes concerns about centralization and pisses in a lot of people's cereals politically.

  • Polishing rule
  • I guess you could do some bullshit with RFID maybe

  • #FixTF2 Rule
  • It's the same thing with different presentation, I highly doubt Valve is not aware of it, quite the opposite.

    It's something that requires a lot of technical prowess to fix (especially to not disappoint the community now). I don't blame Valve employees with not wanting to work with it, especially with TF2 code probably counting as legacy nowadays.

    In all fairness, Linux got 64 bit and Vulkan so maybe there's still some people interested but their damage control for bot chat spam (read, disabling chat for free to play) got flamed so that's not confidence inspiring.

  • woof rule
  • :3c

  • professional hitman rule
  • You're correct but still please get out

  • XWayland 24.1 Released With Explicit Sync, Better Rootful Experience
  • You need to wander through links a bit to find it but https://ofourdan.blogspot.com/2023/10/xwayland-rootful-part1.html talks about the rootful and the recent changes.

  • Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth?
  • I have a eating disorder so most vegetables make me retch, so I kind of don't have a choice.

    Also companies do way more emissions than I ever will, yet I'm asked to stop.

  • How to Say Happy Birthday in French
  • Actual context is that iirc the bot posts wikihow titles with a random wikihow image, sometimes leading to hijinks

  • Systemd wants to expand to include a sudo replacement
  • Blame the Mastodon team, if you're not running a fork, you have to go into the source and adjust the character limit manually.

    Nobody has to do it like this, Mastodon supports longer posts since other servers and clients support more, it's seemingly just a choice from upstream.

  • Systemd wants to expand to include a sudo replacement
  • Essentially functionally stripped sudo, smaller in size than sudo. See also Pottering's thoughts about the ecosystem

  • Much ado about "nothing" - Xe Iaso (==Goodbye NixOS)
  • Holy shit the comments on this one are vile. If you don't like the article, don't read it and go on with your day.

    The footer of the blog shows a Nix file structure, skimming their blog they wrote a bunch of articles and guides for Nix, checking their repo they have a bunch of Nix work, they're not exactly a nobody (if you couldn't judge from the people saying they'll miss them on the Nix forum post)

    This entire article is an extension of https://save-nix-together.org which is the actual thing that sparked the the gasoline covered Nix community, this will probably seem more coherent with that background.

  • Dann über das Jahrzehnt, man spürt die Politik ist schon so traurig drüber.
