Drivers are for the hardware. Its a separate app on Windows I think AMD adrenaline and whatever Nvidia does is their driver manager otherwise it’s another web hunt like most apps on Windows.

The biggest advantage for those groups was decades of ads and being the default. Trust me work IT for decades none of those groups are good with Windows, its arguably worse for them

Honestly software management on Windows is trash. Oh missing a feature? Go fuck yourself, maybe tweet them, they might listen (lmao). Oh you want to tweak something? You can with this 27 step process and it will revert back in the next update.

Honestly, there is something to experience on a given OS, but every time I’m stuck doing stuff on Windows I get slapped in the face with how fucking tedious it is do anything simple. Like to be update to date for games takes seriously 3 different installers, two of which you have to research and find yourself (game store and drivers app). That’s what it is good at…

Ahh I did misunderstand. Maybe concept you and I support would be better called Libre computing, with the stack that the FSF caring about being above the rest of the logic, but it is still logic that decides what does or does not happen to our data on our machines.

I do disagree with you. Proprietary firmware and proprietary hardware does make you less free. But if the rental agreement you have with them is good enough for you, why would I bash you for it, you know?

Its why RISCV is exciting in the CPU space to me. Its more free (even if the IP under it is proprietary). Every step we take towards it advanced the field to me. Again though, if you are renting any piece of the stack, it’s still better that you own what you can to do what you/want then just giving into the “you will own nothing” push.

Just gotta take the wins where we can, celebrate the work, and keep working, you know?

Yes please! MFA support would be awesome

We need purists like the fsf. They are truly fighting the good fight, but I am also happy to see people be just more free too, even with some compromise.

I guess I like HA scaled stuff even if just for play. I hate hurdles though

I do like these designs better. Wheel chair access on roads (i.e. cars that support it) have been lacking. I also like that they don’t look like a mil spec APC taking up every square inch of the road

Still better walk ability, better bike routes, better trams, better metros, better buses. All make more sense for Intercity travel.

But also also fuck these for being massive road based spy drones

I don’t know why but miss usng mythos so bad just grinds my gears.

Like are you, one of the most powerful beings in the world, really stealing fire and giving it to mankind risking yourself in the process? Does any of that sound like what he’s fucking doing? Seriously.

Be like me running a mom and pop plumbing company in the valley name Zeus.

Any project that messes with the license because lols

Like IDGF license. Haha very fun, but wtf is my actual legal rights using this software

To me it’s like a password, or login token. Who has it owns that machine. The issue is definitely that industry is scamming people out of essentially their password and changing it on us so it’s there’s and not ours.

Its crazy to me how this lines with cloud engineering so much. The phrase was “data has gravity” because the further the data is from the processing the more you have to spend to move it around and the more latency you’ll get from it

Even the idea of ECS has so many parallels to kubernetes declarative model and various actors within it.

I do feel like putting an intentional, obvious, but non-issue causing bug in a code base now. Make a contrib guide. Mention needing to read the docs first and check previous issues/discussions first, and make a closed ticket explaining that that bug is nothing but an example bug and that will ban anyone that attempts to fix or report it.

Like a green mnm test for a code base

And that it self is measurable. Never understood the attempt to have total control on byod setups. Its never going to happen lol

Worse yet is gaming is normally a lot PCIe data, that encryption is still very expensive performance wise.

Ahh, it’s a got a system called Memory Guard but that is just brand name for Transparent SME. Which still, freaking finally, that’s awesome. Though in the context of confidential computing, where container/VM memory spaces are assured through encryption it doesn’t help since there is no granular page control just the entire memory system transparently to the system above.

Though I’m not sure if that is a hardware, firmware, or driver limitation (I think below driver because of the reports I saw of fedora failing to boot with the kernel flag set to use it).

Ooohh, awesome! I gotta check that out then.

Oh I guess I meant the open KDE Plasma Desktop Env. I would think it’s grub bootloader with Arch base again so I would expect other distros to load.

I could be wrong, but it would to more work to make it not work tbh

You absolutely can have that and more, what we in industry, attestation on Linux. Though the most obvious adaptation of that would the confidential computing space for key bits of the game data instead of the whole fucking OS. Though hardware level memory encryption is a server CPU feature that I don’t think any desktop ones support yet

The VR desktop space already had some traction. This is probably just a heap of fuel on that fire. I’m excited tbh

Another thing thing they did as a side quest to make this happen is apparently massive improvements for x86 on arm emulation. Crazy cool work from them all
