Virulent,

I don’t have a source but I think it is safe to say given the large corporations and government institutions that rely on XZ utils. I’m sure Microsoft, Amazon, redhat ect are in talks with the federal government about this

Virulent,

Not exactly - it was in the source tarbal available for download from the releases page but not the git source tree.

Virulent,

No, init systems sucked before. It was a bunch of poorly documented and poorly managed shell scripts

anders, to linux

Enterprise Linux on desktop?

Anyone using enterprise Linux on their desktop such as RHEL, Alma, Rocky, CentOS etc.?

I'm curious if it's easy to use for this purpose or if the older packages are a pain.

@linux

Virulent,

You can’t really use it with redhat. You can swap the kernel and install the user space tools, but then you won’t get support from redhat.

Virulent,

You think Nintendo is just going to stop? They can get an easy couple of million now by going after anyone with an emulator. I’m sure they could even go after discontinued console emulators too now they have a shitty service to play their old games.

Virulent,

They were not actively enabling piracy at all. Piracy discussion was banned on all their platforms as well as any information on how to get software title keys illegally. They did everything right and were still bullied out of 2.4 million

Virulent,

FOSS emulator developers need to learn that since the DMCA was passed, the state is hostile to them. It isn’t fair and it doesn’t matter that the Sony v Bleep lawsuit set precedence that emulators are legal because the DMCA is so vague that a judge can rule can rule it is impossible to legally emulate copy protected games. Developers need to start exclusively contributing and maintaining their projects through a pseudonym with no ties to their real identity or move to countries where shit like this doesn’t happen.

Virulent,

Google Gary Bowser if you think not affording it means Nintendo won’t go after them

KDE Plasma 6.0, and KDE Gear 24.02 released (kde.org)

Today the KDE Community is announcing a new najor release of Plasma 6.0, and Gear 24.02. KDE Plasma is a modern, feature-rich desktop environment for Linux-based operating systems. Known for its sleek design, customizable interface, and extensive set of applications, it is also open source, devoid of ads, and makes protecting...

Virulent,

Use gamemode

Virulent,

Atomic desktops make all of that way easier though

Virulent,

Because all changes are transactional so you can easily revert to a previous system state if you break anything

Snap Trap: The Hidden Dangers Within Ubuntu's Package Suggestion System (www.aquasec.com)

Aqua Nautilus researchers have identified a security issue that arises from the interaction between Ubuntu’s command-not-found package and the snap package repository. While command-not-found serves as a convenient tool for suggesting installations for uninstalled commands, it can be inadvertently manipulated by attackers...

Virulent,

Only appimages follow that model and the problem being solved is real and has nothing to do with any of that. The problem being solved is the huge amount of wasted work that distributions do by having to package and support every single project in existence for their various targets. Giving developers a single target like the freedesktop.org runtimes (in the case of flatpaks) and having them package and support applications is a much simpler and more efficient model.

Virulent,

A noob shouldn’t have to think about any of this. They would install from gnome software or discover and not know the difference between flatpaks or rpms or debs.

6700XT vs 7800XT (First Build)

Hello, very simple question. I am doing my first build and about to order my parts, but I was wondering if the 7800XT is worth the leap and possible long-term gains over the 6700XT? I wanted to know personal experience from normal people, rather than a bunch of tech youtubers. Also if you use Linux, that would be quite helpful.

Virulent,

The only issue with the 7800XT is that the 7000 series is still kind of unstable on Linux

Virulent,

It depends on your distro I guess

Virulent,

It is more of an academic project than anything. It isn’t really useful yet and might never be.

Virulent,

The map is actually really small, you just walk insanely slowly at realistic speeds at lower levels

Virulent,

It’s great but not for everyone. I don’t know how to properly describe it but it’s like Minecraft if it were extremely pedantic.

Virulent,

Until act 3 😬😬

Virulent,

Still no fsr3?

Virulent,

The power consumption is probably the peak power usage
