I’m not dismissing the concept of masculinity but rather this contemporary pattern of speech that involves terms like “fragile masculinity”. I’ve yet to encounter such a term in cl…

Yes I’m sure swinging a chainsaw and talking about memes is Musk trying to prove his masculinity. This “masculinity” is stuff is nothing more than therapy-speak, and I wonder where…

First we need social media infrastructure that isn’t made for quick dopamine hits.

“The Molecule of More” is a really good science based book on exactly that - drive, reward, and inhibition. I don’t know a better source that explains dopamine-and-friends in a mor…

Specifically, ungoogled chromium

Can’t import from Apple Health. Looks promising but this is a major draw back.

I’m sure my democratically elected representatives will have a conversation with your democratically elected representatives about these issues.

No I live in Europe. And if I didn’t I wouldn’t worry about it until there’s armed men in uniforms and red armbands walking the streets. I’ve found the best coping mechanism to the…

Not everyone is censoring you. Some of us want to learn about cool technology, not read politics irrelevant to daily life.

There is no nuance to be found in the article. It’s a piece of anarchism that uses science as a cause, not a motive. “#MeToo has not much altered the science professions, and it li…

Clang 18 scores about the same as gcc 14 in runtime performance (with optimisation flags). So gcc 15 is plentifully faster than clang 18 as well, transitively. https://www.phoronix…

Quick question, would you rather own a US/EU citizenship or any other? Why?

Remind me of the European Silicon Valley and its greatest accomplishments?

Well excuse me but a few people offered real solutions including free devices. Nope this guy wants his google pixel with 3 hours of battery life (lol) back.

You keep saying how important your files are but you need to have them backed up in a cloud. Your life cannot end because you wake up one morning and your phone stops booting.

The best 3D models I’ve seen are from iPhones and their FaceID camera. It’s an infrared photogrammetry beast.

Side question, what percentage of your clientele has NSFW usecases?

It’s a combinator. Most people’s passive income here depends on AI stocks.

You’re talking about swap? You can allocate a swap partition and register it in the fstab and the kernel as well and happily swap out to it. Unlike windows and mac, you can set the…

I’m actually shocked you got it to play games like that. I have several nvidia laptops that I use ranging from a 750M, to gtx 1650, to a rtx 4050. Every couple of months I’ll switc…

X is anything but dead. XFCE and KDE have working x11 DEs. If anything, you get higher performance on it relative wayland in some use cases.[0][1] Nouveau last time I checked has p…

It’s great we recently got the feature for wayland. But for X it’s been a wild ride of bumblebee and using prime-run and full offloading for many years. The arch wiki is still not …

In the meanwhile, people with nvidia laptops can enjoy a blinking white cursor on a black display. Courtesy of nvidia Optimus and their “wonderful” first party linux support for it…
