Ulu-Mulu-no-die

Microslop too said they were sick of being called Microslop, how did that go?

Thank you for the transparency!

I’m EU and we already have digital IDs in most countries, controlled by our governments and mandatory to access government and public administrations websites.

These IDs don’t let websites collect more info that they already can without any IDs at all. If you think you’re protected form Meta/Google/Microsoft/whatever profiling you, your IP, geo-locating you if you use a phone, just because they don’t have your ID, I have a bridge to sell you.

That’s not to say this thing is good, age-verification is bad and dangerous, they should educate people instead, both kids and parents. But having governments manage your ID is much less evil than giving it to private companies or baking it into an operating system.

It all comes down on how they implement this app, and the code being opensource is a good thing.

LFS is not a distro, it’s a book that teaches you how to build a Linux system from the ground up.

By all means do it at least once because you can learn a lot from it, but it’s not meant to be used as a daily driver, unless you have nothing else to do in your life than keeping it maintained.

sounds like it could be a hook into a system for automatically generating labels to categorize the various incident reports made in Steam multiplayer games
hints that Valve might use AI tools to summarize suspicious activity history or patterns in potentially fraudulent Steam accounts

If they train their own model, use AI only to sift through the massive amount of data to recognize patterns (something AI does very well) while leaving ALL the decision-making exclusively to humans, it won’t be bad.

If they let AI take actions, well… Steam has been fun while it lasted.

This shows how broken Youtube copyright algorithm is.

Nvidia has the power to resolve this quickly, small content creators don’t.

I installed Void on my laptop to learn it, loving it so far.

On my gaming desktop I’m using Devuan, but I have room for additional distros so I’ll definitely dual-boot Void as soon as I feel confident with the basics.

What kind of extra hoops? Or maybe it’s the type of games?

Asking because I switched to Devuan on my gaming PC and I didn’t need to do anything specific for games to work (Steam and Lutris).

The only exception is The Last Caretaker (UE5) that requires more recent NVIDIA drivers than those in the Debian repos, but that has nothing to do with systemd, it’s Debian/Devuan being conservative with updates to guarantee stability.

A bigger issue for me is this push to embrace AI. It seems all the American tech companies are jumping on board and Red Hat is no exception

Wouldn’t the same logic apply to systemd that’s controlled by RedHat?

They merged the PR regardless of many contributors being against it, silenced discussions about it and immediately closed another PR submitted for reverting the change.

That’s corporate behavior, not community.

That’s the main reason that made me distrust them and jump ship, way more than the field itself.

Because they’re not regulated, just about anyone can get hold of them. Lack of regulation also means they aren’t properly inspected for chemical components that have adverse effects

Then regulate them instead of coming up with moronic ideas?

Such a thing said by a game studio that can very well decide to not use it, feels like wanting to ride the wave of backlash.

Keep your artistic integrity, that I believe will become a very big selling point sooner or later.

As for players, I seriously doubt many could afford two 5090s just to run that crap, probably not even one if the AI bubble doesn’t burst soon so prices can go back to normal.

I don’t get the purpose of this post. The title and what you listed are not the same thing.

You listed a mix of apps and wine versions, all those usually assume you already have wine to satisfy dependencies, that’s not how to install wine.

You install wine (staging for gaming) from your distro repositories.

Thanks :)

Yeah it’s disheartening to see how many in this thread are in favor of violence, especially in a case like this where there are much better answers to what’s happening.

I’m not US and my country doesn’t have such a law, can’t fight foreign laws.

I’m not fighting the dev either and I don’t approve harassment, I’m just switching to non-systemd distro, that’s the best message anyone can send against this.

I can burn down your house (maybe with your dog/cat/family inside) and you won’t wish ill on me?

I would call the police and have you arrested for sure, I would never think you should die for it.

If you ever wished ill upon another human being

You should have stopped here, because no reason is ever a good reason for wishing ill upon another human being, no matter the argument.

People harassing and doxxing are rotten inside, no matter the reason.

for complying with a relatively inconsequential law

No, just no, it’s not inconsequential and it’s not the entire world, as usual US thinks they’re the only country in the world, other countries exist that don’t have such a law.

Just stop using systemd, it’s even more effective than acting like a coward keyboard warrior.

No you don’t, and you don’t give two flips about AI slops because those are where you get your money from.

All his recent statements reek of desperation, investors should wake up and stop giving him money.

You know what, at this point they can totally fuck systemd and I won’t care anymore.

Half of my machines were running sysvinit already, I’m freeing from systemd the other half, also exploring other Linux distros that took a stance against this and even BSD.

If everything fails, there’s always Linux from scratch.
