It was rc6 that finally fixed the amdgpu bug that's been annoying me for the past two months after I switched to a newer kernel than my distro came with in order to make some stupid ML stuff work. Probably it was the change described as "fix the runtime resume failure issue" I suppose. Whatever the problem was, it's gone now. If your graphical session sometimes fails to come back after the monitors were powered off for a while, 6.8 may be the kernel for you.
That's the problem with going out of your way to get a newer kernel. It has some new features but also some new bug and before you know it you're spending Sunday nights compiling the latest rc builds straight from Linus.
Well, she's not wrong that we need more influential people fighting back against this latest push in the global coordinated effort to put an end to communications privacy. It's really quite alarming how little attention it seems to get most of the time. Civil society seemed much more robust when it fought off similar attacks in the 1990s. I do hope that the "VC community" isn't our only hope.
But of course Signal can’t interoperate with another messaging platform, without them raising their privacy bar significantly
Signal is supposed to be free software. You could probably manage to interoperate at least with other operators of actual Signal-Server instances, if you wanted to.
That's not the difference between this and the usual kind of enshittification. The users are one side, the advertisers (and google) are the other. Nothing unusual there. The difference is that this time it's driven by desperate grasping at straws, rather than barefaced greed.
It seems highly likely that you have mischaracterized the meaning of browser.shopping.experience2023.ads.userEnabled but it doesn't matter. The mere existence of browser.shopping.experience2023.ads.userEnabled is damning enough on its own.
I would not blame this on the new CEO unless there's some evidence to support it. Wanting to incorporate more ads into the browser is one of the things the previous CEO was known for, and maybe that brilliant idea being met with hostility was one of the things that persuaded her to depart from the role. Whatever this new feature was to be, it most likely had its origins during her tenure.
How do i set the $LANG variable without using export? I have set my locale.conf to LANG=en_US.UTF-8 but LANG is still always set to en_US which is not valid. I’d prefer not to use .bashrc or /etc/. Thanks in advance!
Today i was doing the daily ritual of looking at distrowatch. Todays reveiw section was about a termal called warp, it has built in AI for recomendations and correction for commands (like zhs and nushell). You can also as a chatbot for help. I think its a neat conscept however the security is what makes me a bit skittish. They...
To help make skittish people feel at ease with the concept, why not give it a friendly on-screen avatar? Perhaps something like a cute little animated paperclip.

Well, if what you want is inexpensive, simple, and durable you might be looking for my favourite keyboard which apparently they're still selling. I haven't needed a new one in 15 years or so but it doesn't look like they've changed the design at all.
Whether a "mechanical" keyboard is worth it just depends on your taste, but in my experience they do wear out much more quickly than this thing I'm typing on.
Listen if you have actual constructive criticism or want actual discussion please post. But if your sharing your uninformed and misdirected opinion about why Wayland or X11 sucks your contributing absolutely nothing to the internet. If your someone looking for quick debunks here you go:...
Your post calling for peoplpe to contribute something of value to the discussion contributes nothing of value to the discussion. This comment adds to the noise by pointing it out. Such is the way of Internet forums since time immemorial.
Quite the unpopular opinion, but I just wanted to post this to show the silent majority that we still exist. We have reached a point where voicing criticism against wayland is treated like the worst thing ever and leads you to being censored and what not. The red hat funded multi year long shill campaign has proven to be quite...
Pointing to android and chromeos as successful examples of immutable systems is a very effective way to convince some of us to avoid the immutable distros.

Debian: Good for people who don't care about all these arguments and just want something that works. I've been using linux for 30 years and prefer xfce for a desktop.
Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson [...] ignored what the industry was doing, went back to their original ideas, and kept working on refining them. The result is the next step in the development of Unix
Plan 9 is clearly what the article is talking about. Odd that they don't name it.
For reasons unknown to me, AMD decided this year to discontinue funding the effort
Presumably they did not want to see Cuda becoming the final de-facto standard that everyone uses. It nearly did at one point a couple of years ago, despite the lack of openness and lack of AMD hardware support.
That is contradicted by the headline. This easy confusion between CUDA (the API) and CUDA (the proprietary software package that is one implementation of it) illustrates the problem with CUDA.
ZLUDA seems to be an effort to fix that problem, but I don't know what it's chances of success might be.
I do a lot of text editing for work and there are some phrases that I have to type frequently. What’s the best way to quickly paste those phrases into a document using a shortcut or keyword? I mainly use Kwrite and Kate as i prefer plain text editors and need no formatting.
