Understanding them from context works reasonably well yes, but they are still odd letters in modern usage, most people couldnt use or type these on their devices without extra steps.

Seems unnecessarily complicated for everyday use. Being a german myself i also do not use our Umlaute outside of communication in german, because barely any other reader can make sense of ä, ö, ü. Simpler to just spell them accordingly as ae, oe, ue.

(wiþ, ðat, ðe)

Why?

Helldivers 2 works (or at least used to when I played it) as well, while requiring kernel access on windows

I’m a bazzite user for a good year now, and also a first time Linux user. My hardware is amd as well, and for me the experience has been great, the most annoying issues having been compatibility workarounds for windows software. I would definitely recommend you to join their discord for support.

A green screen of death does not sound healthy, even crashes or hard reboots have never produced something similar for me. To rule out hardware issues, can you install a windows copy and/or create a USB with a live Linux OS such as mint to compare? (For reference, some Linux distros are able to run entirely off a USB stick, albeit much slower due to the obvious bottleneck).

If all this checks out I would suggest either reinstalling bazzite off a verified iso (there is a function before installing to make sure there are no errors) or using another distro.

This reminds me of a project I saw some years ago, it was AR glasses with just a monochrome display that would project into the eye itself, adjusted to the individual user by an optometrist.

It was less ambitious than the other projects at the time on what it would be able to display, but this had the distinct advantage of being extremely power efficient and lightweight, allowing the system to fit into a normal glasses form factor.

It also looked cyberpunk as fuck with the user having a glowing red dot in one of his eyes during use, at least to everyone else. I tried a bunch of times to google for what ever has become of it, because I was very interested in the concept as a wearer of glasses.

Does anyone by any chance know what I’m talking about? This would have been in the early to mid 2010s.

TLDR: Want my cyberpunk glasses. Pls halp

I’ve never heard this guy speak before. Is this some sort of audio issue? Or does he actually sound like he rambles into one of those speakerboxes for throat cancer survivors?

Why are you skipping over the alternative venues of revenue I suggested that wouldn’t be as problematic? Because without you couldn’t paint me as irrational, asking the poor corpo to not make more money than last quarter at their customers expense 😔

They can pay their employees just fine. They do this because the investors want their returns.

First of all, I don’t have a horse in this race. My media is stored locally and used only by my household. I really don’t give a shit if a corporation needs more revenue to satisfy their infinite growthTM.

My issue is with how they are doing it. Provide an extra service or function, introduce a higher tier with priority treatment or so. Thats fine with me.

What’s not fine is taking something away people used to get for free, because the shitty venture capital business model isn’t feasible and only provided these things to capture the market, and now comes the nickel and diming part of providing ever fewer services and functions for ever increasing amounts of money.

As for jellyfin, thats open source AFAIK. So why even mention that here as some sort of gotcha? If it enshittifies people will fork it and move on.

I’m just curious, why are you so vehemently defending a shitty move by a corporation? No matter how you tackle the issue, taking away a function that used to be free and evidently has no costs associated to the corp is a textbook example of enshittification.

It is pretty damn obvious how this will continue.

I suspected that, but why the hell is “proof of work” nothing of any use or value? That just seems so fundamentally absurd it doesn’t compute for me apparently

To this day, I have not understood what exactly is even being calculated, and for what real world application. I mean, I understand mostly what crypto is and how it works, but not why doing those calculations results in financial gain.

Maybe you shouldn’t be able to buy an America sized bag of novelty plastic waste for 10 bucks.

For the next storage revolution go with the opposite of your prediction maybe

I only moved to Linux myself last year, and went/stuck with bazzite. I use my computer for gaming, browsing the Internet, consuming media and occasionally some basic office work, which all work just fine right out of the box.

I haven’t even had to use the CLI much yet, and am still very inexperienced using it, but the fact that I am able to use the OS as my daily driver without any real need for the CLI should speak volumes to its user friendliness.

Discord isnt open source either tho so how does that matter for the comparison?

And while yes it is a little outdated, I do recall the time before discord when people would have their own teamspeak server instead, which worked very similar to the fediverse.

You had the client and could connect to any server you had the credentials to, which each were owned and hosted by various people or groups each with their own rules and code of conduct.

There is an alternative people have used before discord came, it is called teamspeak. Is still around as well, but works more like a federated system since everyone has to set up and host their own server for people to use.

There is another, semi official linux client called vesktop. Comes with a range of plugin options, all improving or enabling functions the default client doesnt offer or hides behind a paywall. It also has had screen share on Linux for the longest time,if you do the switch give it a go. Certainly better than the default app

I love this because it is entirely true and she is just being honest. Rich people can afford to have their coat cleaned.

Honestly a bot moderator is just open source enshittification of the fediverse if you did it like this. Bots have no nuance, do not understand context and are generally unable to apply reason to a situation.

The most egregious suggestion is user name based bans, this is 100% going to remove a bunch of users without real cause. Or having automod comment the same irrelevant headline on every single post is just causing spam and kills the comment count function.

In my opinion the bots should do all the tediousness for the moderators, and there may even be scenarios where a bot content filter could be invaluable, but in general any tool you put out there will also be used to its fullest extent by at least one person.

Like cops with too many powers, eventually they abuse it for everything.

Half the features are helpful and the others are obnoxious or useless reddit vestiges. Auto banning users, locking communities, deleting posts is all rather harmful and not conducive to interesting discussion and posts. Welcome messages and auto mod comments on every post are also plain terrible.

Make a slim bot with moderation tools that helps mods and admins to do their tasks more efficiently and comfortably, but dont offload the mod role itself to the bot. That is one of the worst parts if reddit.
