So unless you’re going for an extremely high resolution on a really cheap monitor over a long distance

Speaking of “extremely high resolution on a really cheap monitor,” it took a solid decade and a half before I was able to buy a digital flat-panel monitor capable of resolution comparable to the analog CRT I was using in 2002. VGA was no joke!

(The only problem with QXGA on a 19" CRT, aside from the weight and power draw, was that in a world before deceent high-DPI fractional scaling the text was too tiny to read easily. Other than that, it worked fine.)

Yes, I expect them to stand up for the rights of users. Why don’t you?

Honestly, having to have the user type “I agree that I have verified the application i am trying to install is genuine and not a fraudulent app”

Ask Other Linus how well that sort of thing (“Yes, do as I say!”) works, LOL!

I agree with you that Google’s anti-competitive time delay BS is likely to be ineffective for its claimed purpose, but frankly, I don’t think any other reasonable (i.e. non-rights-infringing) strategies would be effective either. Honestly, there’s a limit to how much effort you should go through to save idiots from themselves – and how much annoyance you impose on everyone else in the process! – and I think we’ve already hit it.

The only thing I use my bank app for is to deposit checks. It can’t be done from the desktop because it needs the phone camera to take photos of the check.

Things like LineageOS are a workaround, not a solution.

The solution has to be legal, not technical. Companies have to be stopped from trying to fuck with users’ property rights in the first place!

This kind of tactic is the ultimate reason why MAGAs are trying to propagandize “trump derangement syndrome[sic]” into existence. (Well, that and projection, because otherwise it would be an excellent name for what’s afflicting the MAGAs themselves.)

I have never heard of any generative AI system capable of doing anything useful with 3D models. If you ever find one, PM me to let me know!

Everybody knew dot-coms in 2000 and houses in 2007 were bubbles, too. But they kept investing anyway, because they didn’t know when it would pop and FOMO is a helluva drug.

As another reply said, they’re dehumanizing themselves. Disagreeing on policy is one thing, but when one side is burning books and closing research labs and treating a charlatan’s blatant lies as the Gospel truth because their worldview is fundamentally incompatible with factual reality, there’s no reasoning with that. Debate doesn’t fucking work at that point; you need a cult deprogramming!

“They don’t think like that. You can’t keep claiming 2+2=4 and that the clear sky is blue; you have to meet their hateful delusions halfway!”

No. Your argument is deranged, dishonest nonsense.

Because factual reality exists.

¡¿Can u get… prrrreganté?!

Ask the bot to make it for you.

IRL cyberpunk :(

I wish they’d merge the non-rolling-release distros by version (as well as by distro “family” in the case of e.g. Ubuntu vs. Kubuntu), so that they wouldn’t look underrepresented compared to Arch. For example, Arch isn’t actually more popular than Mint; it’s just that some of the Mint users are slower to update than others.

I have a domain, but all I use it for so far is email (with an email provider, not my own mail server, hosted locally or otherwise). I’d still call that “usable,” though.

What is this actually measuring? It’s not the same as the Steam Hardware Survey, right?

Surely this represents the subset of users that like doing things like tinkering with their OS and contributing to ProtonDB, not all Linux gamers. Normal people don’t go switching distros every month.

Literally a rapist mentality.

More than 450 current FSFE supporters who use automatic renewal with credit card or direct debit have been affected by Nexi’s actions.

EFSE has only 450 people giving recurring donations (using credit card or direct debit, at least)?! Never mind the payment processor bullshit, why aren’t more of y’all donating?
