Stop being cheap, OP. You clearly just need to shell out multiple billions of dollars for access to mythos /s

To add a tiny bit of technical detail here, vanilla Arch enforces support for x86_64 v1, meaning all software available in the Arch repos is built to not use any cpu feature that didn’t exist in v1. Not a bad thing since it allows for support of older (64 bit) hardware, but it does leave like 20 years of microarchitecture advancement on the table.

According to the CachyOS website, they have repos with software built for v3 and v4 which can apparently juice your rig for an extra 20% performance.

All of this seems impossible to enforce in the FOSS ecosystem. People can just fork the software and remove any restriction they don’t like. That’s kind of the whole point of free software. Users are free to use their devices however they like, including in ways that are not intended by the devloper.

And the address space is big enough you can choose a new random address between every connection to avoid tracking.

Hell yeah, feed an LLM enough fairy tales and abra cadabra, rhyming becomes a form of magic irl.

Check in alsamixer and see if maybe it’s muted. Alsa will sometimes mute things randomly when configurations change.

For the low low price of $2000

That would work.

I’m not sure what could be in (or missing from) your environment that would break sudo, but it’s a place to check at least.

One big difference is that sway doesn’t run as a login process (and neither does gdm), meaning none of your .profile files are getting sourced. Check how your environment variables differ between i3 and sway and see if that might be the issue.

They’ve got sliced memes. Sliced. Memes.

To interject with a somewhat pedantic point, nothing is truly apolitical. But there is something to be said about sensing the proper time and place to start a political argument.

Such is the problem with dictators in any situation. A benevolent dictator might be one of the most productive ways to run a project, but at some point there has to be a successor. Even a mildly-less-benevolent dictator could cause a lot of damage. Linux needs a governance structure with checks and balances even if it means slower decision making; it’s too important to let fall into the wrong hands.

Schwede contemplated selling his car, but after racking up more than 60,000 miles on it, there was little value left in it.

That’s a pretty steep devaluation curve. Do electric cars just wear out that fast? Or is this more of a hype-cycle rug pull situation?

I’m gonna join in with everyone and recommend completely zeroing all the drives (make sure you unmount them before doing it). It will take a while but at least you will have drives in a known state and can eliminate that as a possible issue.

Asking out of genuine naivety, why do you do that?

Linus himself uses a macbook, I’m sure the mainline kernel has decent support for somewhat recent hardware

Yeah, I really wish people would be a little more tactful when they go on performative tirades like this. It’s giving “old man yells at cloud” energy. Ridiculous behaviour when you think about it. People can block clouds, yelling is worse than useless.

To be totally fair, nostr’s whole thing is that users can delete all of their federated data if they want to, so it makes sense if they are upset about having their data copied to a place they can’t control.

Not sure how realistic that is with the data being publicly accessible via the web, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the they have some kind of license that gives the dmca request the ability to hold a nonzero amount of water. Then again, I wouldn’t be suprised if completely fails, either.

My brain accepted this new piece of information and immediately tried to recalibrate my sense of wellbeing based on how much time I spend playing cozy games.

So there was a bizarre moment where I felt positively dandy.

Did anyone else get a mental health buff just from reading this headline?

I’m ashamed at having had a moment of celebration when the ceasefire happened. Treachery should have been obvious.
