Yeah, I search the AUR not to discover packages, but to see if something I want to install is in there, if it is I check the PKGBUILD and make sure none of the sources/commands/patches are suspicious.
People need to remember it’s not some carefully vetted app store and that they need to be the ones vetting any packages they install and any changes when updating.

To add RTX 30XX series doesn’t support AV1 encode, only decode, so any AV1 encoding would have to be done on the CPU (better to use h.264 or HEVC for hardware encode in OBS)

You can’t even set a timer with Gemini without enabling Gemini app activity (you used to be able to before, but that changed many months ago). This means it can’t even replicate the basic functionality of assistant out of the box, without agreeing to give Google even more rights to your data, in no way would I consider it a replacement unless it’s able to fulfil the basic functionality of assistant with the same permissions.

No way am I ever going to pay a subscription for a games launcher, especially when alternatives exist

I think it’s because no one had archived it yet, so I did, here’s the direct link to the archive: https://archive.is/MgMu9

It’s not though, if you’re working in a restaurant/bar/shop and your boss tells you to give good service to everyone, especially (or in particular) Americans, then you’re being told that it’s more important that Americans get good service than other groups, even if you’re supposed to provide good service to everyone.

The fact they may be a non-native speaker might mean that they intended “including” rather than “particularly”, but it doesn’t change the actual meaning of the words that they wrote.

Yeah, German policing of the situation has been pretty insane

Not really, BLM was started to highlight issues of racism, discrimination, inequality etc. faced by black people.

I would not have had an issue if the mod had said equal rights for all people, including Jewish people. It’s the fact that they say equal rights for all, but “in particular” one specific group that I take issue with, doesn’t matter if that group is Jews, Christians, white people, black people, etc.

What I said here: https://feddit.uk/post/29329161/17366266

If we want equal rights for all (as we should) then that includes Jewish people, we don’t then specify that one group “in particular” gets equal rights. I wouldn’t have taken issue with the sentence if it simply said Jewish people included, because “all people” does indeed include Jewish people, but “in particular” is picking them out as special.

Why do they need to be specified? If it’s equal rights for all people, then that includes Jews. There is no need to specify if you are promoting equality for all.

• Calling for the dissolution of Israel, or calling for a one-state solution without specifying equal rights for all people; Jewish in particular.

All people are equal, but some are more equal than others

A VM would be a good way to try out different distros & desktop environments, and to get some familiarity with Linux. For actually gaming I would install the OS on bare metal (you could dual boot if you wanted to keep windows installed as a backup).

Having seen a different video about Limited Run Games, the recycled chips news doesn’t surprise me

The worst thing about Gemini is that you can’t just use it like Google assistant without enabling the “Gemini apps activity”, or whatever it’s called, data collection

You used to be able to ask it to set a timer just like assistant and it would work fine, now they require you to enable Gemini apps activity to ask it to set a simple timer. The solution of course is not to use Gemini.

Something like almost half of generic medications are made in India.

Is this for cancer drugs or generics in general? Only asking because most of the generics I see in the UK are made here, but that might be because I’ve only seen the more common medications and not stuff like cancer drugs.

Hope you manage to beat the cancer!

For security disable password authentication - use public key instead, disable root login via ssh - use sudo or su from another user.

To reduce the number of attempts of others trying to get in change the ssh port and/or set-up fail2ban.

You could also set a firewall rule to only allow ssh from your IP address, if you have a static address at home and only need access from there, or have a way to VPN into your home network. Make sure you have a static address if you do this though, you don’t want your IP to change and be left locked out of your server.

I don’t see any curtains/blinds or curtain rod/rail, did they forget that people need privacy when they were converting their garage into an overpriced studio flat?

Yeah, it would be insane not to buy a Tesla self-driving taxi, they pay for themselves

The “correcthorse” part

Yeah, I was mostly thinking of smaller businesses that used it because it was part of the office suite they were subscribed to and not the professional creative, print or whatever places
