is it cool if I skip ahead to the next exit?

No, you will be fined upwards of 240€, lose your license for a month, and get 2 points on your license (8 points means you lose it permanently, you will have to redo the license and take a so-called “idiot-test” beforehand).

Man fuck Axel Voss! Damn copyright shill. Guess we can take solace in the fact that he seemed to be the only one clearly taking the publishers side here.

And if I’m not mistaken, the European Commission representative argued in his reply to Voss (around 12:20) that “collective management organisations” or “cultural heritage institutions” might well be allowed to preserve games that are not commercially available anymore already under the current framework.

Well yeah kind of, except for the caveat that there are some things in those tests a website can’t really check. The tests are standardised and publicly available. There isn’t really any reason to not implement a (half-way) proper test, even if you are just harvesting data.

Above average that has to count for something right?

Well they aren’t though, 345/1000 people having a worse score than you means there are 654/1000 people who have a better score.

“IQ 100” is a moving target that gets regularly updated to the new average (which relatively speaking has been mostly climbing for decades).

True, but colloquially your grandparents bloodline is still (one of) your bloodline(s). So you share a bloodline with your uncles and aunts.

Both you and your uncle are in your Grandpas bloodline.

Bad news buddy, that’s exactly how you become a programmer. /irony

cool-new-thing factor: KDE plasma 6!

I found the “Fall apart” option last week which makes windows explode into tiny bits when you close them. Never had so few lingering windows open in my life.

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:

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.
