I swear we must have started posting at the same time, but adding an alt text to the image cost me 2 minutes apparently. xD

Give Ubuntu Studio a try maybe? It comes with a lot of audio production stuff preinstalled and preconfigured, one of the most important ones in this context being low-latency process scheduling.

Essentially most distros just have default process scheduling options, which means a process might be starved for CPU time, theoretically for up to 2s or so at a time, which is very bad if that process is generating or consuming an audio stream. Low-latency scheduling, while not entirely preventing it from happening, should significantly reduce this.

You could also just configure most other distros Kernels to do low-latency scheduling of course. Or if you don’t want to muck about with kernel settings try Ubuntu Studio, which has that and more all ready to use.

Well that one is pretty obvious isn’t it? Consoles and the like have a single target hardware, or very few at least, so their testing is way more reliable. Meanwhile a random PC will have one of several hundred chip designs, implemented by a few dozen different vendors, ranging over decades. Development for and testing under such conditions is just way more complicated, so all devs can really do is aiming for #worksonmymachine and hope for detailed bug reports and feedback when others have issues.

Well I haven’t tried it, but if you want to just play around with it you should be able to emulate a RISC-V system in a VM, e.g. using qemu: https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/target-riscv.html TL;DR: It’s kinda complicated, lots of different board/chip designs to choose from. But seems possible. Several Distros like Ubuntu/Debian seem to have RISC-V releases around.

Ah scheiße, hier gehen wir wieder.

The only one apparently eager to implement this is the dylanmtaylor Github user, who has created PR’s for systemd, archinstall, and Ubuntu. Maybe more.

But hasn’t taken effect yet:

Germany has effectivly the same law

I haven’t heard anything about that and a search doesn’t turn anything up either. Can you give any details on what you mean specifically?

Some Fediverse frontends don’t set the self-upvote by default (kbin for example), but since lemmings.world is a Lemmy instance it was probably removed by the author (maybe accidentally double-click on posting?).

But… like… past experience only changes behaviour if it constitutes new information. If your past experience confirms your priors you won’t change behaviour.

How did people take this so seriously, especially on a meme community?

“Poe’s law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.”

(Gore?)

There is an urban legend saying he claimed to have invented the internet. What actually happened was that he was asked in a 1999 interview how he was different from other candidates and replied: “During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. […]”. He was probably referring to legislative efforts.

Curiously that’s the same sentiment the Zionist German left espouses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Germans_(political_current)

And he does so by providing a stand-alone binary and providing integration into the games by using their modding tools. At least that was my, admittedly unresearched, understanding of the matter.

If what you say was true it would be an open-and-shut case meaning Ross could have immediately filed a DMCA counter-notice (i.e. legally asserting that no copyrighted material was used) because he wouldn’t have anything to lose. But he didn’t do that. My guess would be because he did in fact use REDmod plugins to make his VR mod binary viable to actually play.

But I’m admittedly guessing here, any source you want to provide to the contrary would be welcome.

There are, called REDmod: https://www.cyberpunk.net/en/modding-support

From what I understand the Cyberpunk VR mod is partially made up of REDmod plugins and partially of stand-alone binaries, but not sure on that one.

Yeah true, but actually proving that in court costs time and money. And once you get a DMCA takedown notice you are forced to fight it or comply.

I don’t understand how this is legal action?

Well just the use of the trademark would probably be enough to file a DMCA takedown. But beyond that modding the game entails using its modding tools, which have an EULA, which stipulates no paywalls for mods.

Technically the modder has legal recourse, they could argue fair use and file a counter-notice. Then CDPR would have to sue in front of a court. But given the financial and legal risks it seems unlikely a counter-notice will happen.

Honestly the only real chance is to come to some kind of agreement with CDPR, which they seemed to heavily telegraph is possible in their public message (“we never allow monetization of our IP without our direct permission and/or an agreement in place”).

Well the rationale is that they were announcing live to the world (and therefore also the website owner) that “all your base are belong to us”. So instead of giving the website owner time to fix their flawed IT security they just deleted all the infected systems at the end of the talk (including some backups and admin accounts).

Well that’s probably true. I mean lots of stuff was obviously hacked and deleted, and if you trust the script output in the stream mostly from whitedate. child and deal are later off-shoots it seems, but date had like 6k users, some paying, the main project basically. And it’s still offline. And whitedeal shows a 2019 copyright notice. :D

There was an interactive map of the user profiles hosted by the hacker at https://okstupid.lol/ but it seems to be down right now. And the journalists who participated in the talk (and pointedly left before the script was run) announced there will be more articles released soon.

Could be the site owner is in the process of restoring access, the talk (and thus the deletion) happened on 29th of December.
