Gaming on linux is not that bad today. Look at valve's success with the steamdeck. All past and present issues are because developers were aiming to a different platform, with proprietary tooling.
In meme terms, is like Fender made the guitars for people with different hands. You can't play, but it's their fault.
Dear all, please remember that engaging with trolls can get you banned (rule of thumb, half the time the offender gets for themselves)
Write what you want others to read, I don't care if there are disagreements. But go get a private chat room if you want to exchange insults with them :)
One could also think that whoever packaged this was hurried while filling a form, and wanted to provide credit where it was due. So, maybe they were on the best of their intents... We don't know.
If I were to use this, I would check other apps from same uploader. Or better, see what permissions are being asked..
In any case, trusting blindly github contributors on teamnewpipe organization is not extremely different.
Trust and credibility are volatile and freely given. It's youtube, not my bank account ;p
Indeed. Also, I am concerned about self-hosting enthusiasts that install docker (without the advance rootless mode) and blindly run containers. Sometimes these containers are even made by third parties, independent of the app developers. Unfortunately, the supply chain there is up for grabs...
Ah, my bad "again"... should have mentioned that there's the advance configuration option that 1% of the geeks do
I have a singlespeed, I live in a mostly flat city. It's awesome! Most bikes have gears and are more 'breakable' as they have all those external moving parts.
Then, there's that gear system that is built into the wheel, that's less breakable but probably less reparaible too.
So, my advice would be to get a fixie. I used it with the 'freewheel' config at first but having switched I learnt of the efficiency in translating hard pushes on the pedal (I don't stand-up pedal anymore, and most small slopes are a bit easier now!)
Fixies had a revival for these reasons. Unfortunately, at least in Germany, they're extremely underrepresented in the market.
Docker is not rootless. Is only safe as long as the container (or those web devs) doesn't use nsenter or anything similar to get root access outside of it ;)
Do check seaweedfs too! Haven't tried it (yet) but their 'erasure coding' reads as super sophisticated to me ;)
I wonder how it compares to beegfs
dial-up modem-router noises when connecting to the Internet

I only learnt this recently, but snail depictions were ubiquitous in gothic manuscripts' marginalia. Oftentimes, with social implications, very much like satire. The snail, being slow and seemingly harmless, simbolizes futility or absurdity of certain endeavors. There's many interpretations among historians and art enthusiasts.
No thanks. I will just hear what I want, and thats enough.
Hmm, wait. Perhaps some music? ;)

Android shows which apps consume the most energy since the last charge.
It's great, I've used it a lot.
Specially with relatives. It also lists 'Display', and shows how much your screen use was draining that new phone. I had to explain this to a friend recently, with their new phone. They thought it might be defective. It wasn't.
Game is huge. Do use cheats for potions or ingredients. Check popular mods that give easy way around cumbersome tasks.
And, if you're like me and always play spellcasters instead of fighters in RPGs, do check some builds after certain level (20s?). Get griffin set of course, do know there are levels for its items.
First, stop buying games (*1)
Second, consider reading about the sunken costs fallacy, e.g. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+overcome+sunk+cost+fallacy
(*1) there's piracy xdd
Congrats!
PS. Distro (or DE) wars are meaningless. But I use KDE btw ;)
I believe in all the gods, goddesses, and spirits. Join me :)
Somewhat related, a recent kurzgesagt video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXERzEafjIU
(For context, I'm basically referring to Python 3.12 "multiprocessing.Pool Vs. concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor"...)
Today I read that multiple cores (parallelism) help in CPU bound operations. Meanwhile, multiple threads (concurrency) is due when the tasks are I/O bound.
Is this correct? Anyone cares to elaborate for me?
At least from a theorethical standpoint. Of course, many real work has a mix of both, and I'd better start with profiling where the bottlenecks really are.
If serves of anything having a concrete "algorithm". Let's say, I have a function that applies a map-reduce strategy reading data chunks from a file on disk, and I'm computing some averages from these data, and saving to a new file.
Rockstar Games' servers have been under fire from DDoS attacks causing widespread login and connectivity issues for players of GTA Online.

> > Rockstar Games' servers have been under heavy fire from massive DDoS attacks in recent days, causing widespread login and connectivity issues for players of GTA Online. These attacks come in the wake of Rockstar’s recent implementation of BattlEye, a new anti-cheat system designed to crack down on in-game cheating, sparking backlash from a segment of the player base. Protesters, unhappy with the new system, have resorted to using distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks to disrupt the servers, escalating tensions between the gaming giant and its community.

Fig. 1 gives an example of a conversation where the user goes from 100% belief down to 40% after getting their questions explained by the AI.
Looking at the conclusions, the impact is not so big for all the interactions.
Anyway, this is a great tool. Sure, when people are doomscrolling 24/7 they’re not fact-checking. So, the intervention might not be there. Yet, I choose to remain optimistic. More recent generations might get easier access and be better than our current trend :)

An illegal gambling empire fueled by modern-day slavery is being propped up by high-profile sponsorships — and defended with sophisticated anti-detection software.

> Archived link > > Some have argued that Yabo (aka Yabo Sports, Yabo Group) and its many constituent brands comprise "the biggest illegal betting operation targeting Greater China." You probably haven't heard of it before, but you may have come across it unknowingly in passing, hundreds of times, if you watch European football, aka soccer in US parlance. The operation enjoys multimillion-dollar partnerships with some of the world's biggest clubs, like Manchester United and Bayern Munich. > > Less visible to the public are Yabo's modern day slaves, forced to staff the debt-fueled pyramid scheme underpinning its gambling empire. > > [...] > > "Often, as a culture and as an industry, we separate technical stories from real life," Dr. Renée Burton, head of threat intelligence at Infoblox, says. "But these are monumental human crimes that are occurring [in] human trafficking and money laundering. It's the most interesting research I've ever been involved with." > > [...] > > On paper, Yabo Sports shut down in 2022 amid media scrutiny. But it fact it actually passed on through other brands like Kaiyun Sports. Kaiyun's logo has featured prominently on the sleeves of Aston Villa and Crystal Palace kits, or uniforms, in recent seasons, and the front of Nottingham Forest's (all England). Kaiyun reportedly also has a partnership in place with the world's biggest club, Real Madrid. > > [...] > > As Burton tells it, "Essentially, they use a ton of shell companies in multiple places around the world. And then they'll come up through these white label providers in the UK, like TGP Europe, which was linked by journalists to [gambling organization] Suncity, which has been accused by the Chinese government of money laundering. So it obfuscates those [groups] which are already obfuscated. It's just this ridiculous chain of false identities." > > [...] > > "So it draws people [into the sites]," Burton explains, "and they're browsing around a little bit. You've got your Manchester United logo. Then it starts popping up: these lures for you to come gamble." The sites include images of scantily dressed women and live chats with purported customer service agents. If a user stays idle for a period of time, the site might offer financial incentives, like a sliding scale of up to $1,500 free for any user who deposits up to $70,000 in a week. > > "It draws you in further, and eventually you're losing. Now you're in debt, and you move into servitude. It's essentially a pyramid scheme: you have to go recruit people to gamble, then you get a portion of those people's losses to go against your debt," she says. > > [...] > > A 2023 report from the Asian Racing Federation (ARF) Council on Anti-Illegal Betting and Related Financial Crime described how Yabo betting sites are also staffed by physically imprisoned individuals: > > The walled-off complexes have apartments, offices, supermarkets and other facilities, and are guarded by armed security whose job is to keep people in, according to reports in Chinese state media and elsewhere. > > [. . .] > > According to victim testimony, staff must work 12 hours a day, six days a week and cannot leave without a ransom. Staff are sold between operators, with ransoms increasing on each occasion. Videos and photographs online in 2021 showed people being physically threatened, beaten with sticks, and struck with electric batons. > > [Edit: Deleted tautology in the title.]
