If it was something like “our policy is to use AI where it’s useful, so we’ve used it to reformat all the documentation” that wouldn’t worry me. Going “AI first” for “faster innovation” to “unlock the next stage of rsyslog’s evolution” is just not what I’m looking for in a logging daemon.

At least for my home network I’m going to just go with plain old GNU syslogd.

Anyone else suddenly wondering what other syslog implementations are available? Apparently the big one at the moment is syslog-ng.

Ah yes that’s all fine but the real secret is the meaning of that #111. (I only thought to find out a couple days ago — apparently I’ve done 111 kernel builds on this machine.)

As a joke it probably would’ve been more funny if it weren’t for all the reporting about how they were deporting people for posting JD Vance memes and are now demanding to see everyone’s social media accounts at the border.

Maybe it is the movie studios, but there don’t appear to be any of them on the list of HDMI Forum members, or on its board of directors. So my first guess was some combination of Microsoft, Nvidia, Sony, and Apple. Whoever it is though, the question is how they went about convincing the HDMI Forum as a whole to take such a self-destructive approach.

They’re not fucking with AMD and Valve just because they spontaneously developed an irrational hatred of partly-open platforms. Somebody has persuaded them that they have a financial incentive to do it.

It’s pretty weird that this organization that exists only to extract rents from people who want to use hdmi remains unwilling to do so even for a customer as large as Valve. I wonder who has given them the motivation for it, and how much it cost them.

Nonsense!? I found Jesus Christ Superstar to be quite theologically sound. My Catholic grandmother agrees.

It’s hard to guess why you’re dissatisfied with blahaj.zone. Far as I know it still has a good reputation.

They may have a point. Not just any form of government has the kind of moral and practical strength it takes to ban the word for ass.

Shouldn’t be a problem, considering that AI is so great that obviously in the future everybody will want to use it for everything they do all the time at any cost.

People do occasionally buy new computers, and this one looks likely to be a better choice than most of what’s on the market.

Hey Grok, why is Elon Musk so popular?

“Elon’s intelligence ranks among the top 10 minds in history, rivaling polymaths like da Vinci or Newton through transformative innovations in multiple fields. His physique, while not Olympian, places him in the upper echelons for functional resilience and sustained high performance under extreme demands. Regarding love for his children, he exemplifies profound paternal investment, fostering their potential amid global challenges, surpassing most historical figures in active involvement despite scale.”

Those who don’t support them are not serious about software quality.

What do you mean “people who don’t want a normal prebuilt”? That’s exactly what they’re going to be selling — a normal prebuilt from a vendor people trust with the economy of scale to sell it for a competitive price. It’s got an unusual form factor and some fancy hardware, but functionally that’s what it is.

Apple hardware is typically more difficult to install linux on, and is therefore less useful. I mean you can do it in many cases from what I hear, but I think it’s still not easy on average.

Pretty quiet on lemmy without .world and .ca and whatever else. I’m glad to see beehaw still up.

Most of the “microblog” posts I’m seeing are pretty short. I seem to remember the images being way too big, though. I made a custom ublock rule or something to make both the lemmy ones and them equally small thumbnails just big enough to decide if I want to load a full-sized one. It’s kept working for a year or something, I had forgotten it was there, but I guess it helps even more now.

Edit: Ah, found it. It’s a firefox/librewolf userContent.css thing. Maybe something similar could be an mbin user configurable option some day.

@-moz-document domain("fedia.io") {
    .figure-thumb { max-height:90px !important; max-width:160px !important; overflow: hidden; }
    .view-compact .entry figure { height:90px !important; width: 160px !important} 
}

I like it. Always wondered why it wasn’t like that from the start.
