I read the comment as "allowing wealth to access the skill of the people who created the contents of the training set." I don't think anything prior has allowed such direct access …

Let's Encrypt can issue wildcard certs too

To be fair there are a lot of games on Steam that don't have DRM, which means you can just drag them out of the steamapps folder to a computer that doesn't have Steam and they work…

Did you forget about Vulkan? Valve and AMD are Khronos members and active contributors to the Vulkan spec. Games like Baldur's Gate 3 and Civ VII use Vulkan on Deck. There's a comp…

The more I think about it, the harder it is to recommend anything else for the average Windows gamer/prosumer but first-time Linux user. - Rolling release, so you don't have to do …

I don't think being able to migrate your account addresses the rugpull concern. The rugpull scenario is that one day, in five years or so, bsky.app drops all AT Protocol support an…

It worked on my device. The page you linked looks very outdated and doesn't have my device's board or any device made in the past 5 years. The lists of unsupported devices also loo…

Sorry, but "CLI stuff" is not "as far as it goes" with desktop Linux apps on ChromeOS. ChromeOS provides Wayland and PulseAudio servers to the apps as well so GUI and audio works t…

I got a ChromeOS device a few years ago and it was great. I think they get an underserved bad reputation from being the locked-down devices you're forced to use in schools, but a p…

If the creator of this app doesn't know their stuff, they're putting other people at risk.

I only need to look at one file[1] (context[2], and it used to be worse[3]) to decide that I don't really want Hyprland, or anything else from that quick-and-dirty culture of softw…

I don't see how AI can become democratized. (I don't follow this stuff too closely, but) it seems like larger models with less quantization and more parameters always outperform sm…

As I understand, the AGPLv3 requires the corresponding source code to be provided under the same license, so the Arch guys wanting an AGPLv3 source package isn't just a niche Arch-…

I checked my repo to see which Stalwart version I was running and if I could update, and I was surprised to find that the Arch package has been deleted due to FOSS licensing concer…

Looks like it includes the stuff for running OpenGL, OpenCL, Vulkan and VA-API on top of D3D12 as well. Microsoft made their own Mesa builds for this once, but they don't appear to…

If I'm already compromising by using non-free software, does it matter that much? How do I know what a native app is sending back in its telemetry?

No, it's definitely a win for Linux. I get it. I've dabbled in software minimalism. I love native dev. I know the web "sucks." But the range of mainstream software available for Li…

There are even games like Infinity Nikki with anti-cheat that allows the Steam Deck but specifically detects and blocks desktop Linux. You have to wonder if that gets them any real…

In my opinion, the Win32 era only ended recently (and I don't think that's a good thing!) Back in Windows 10, you could use C and the Win32 API to make a lightweight dependency-fre…

Iceshrimp, or at least this JavaScript version of it, is a fork of Misskey, which has been mentioned on HN a few times. If you've heard of Mastodon, Misskey and its forks participa…

Man, I'm really keen for this. The GBA Sonic games are often slept on but I think they were amazing at recreating the feel of the original Mega Drive games, with great music and sp…
