Are you saying this as someone who has gotten a self-signed key to work with their BIOS + kernel + bootloader + dual boot with windows, someone who runs a mainstream enough distro that they convinced manufacturers to ship with support for their key, or someone who doesn’t run linux with secure boot at all?

Agreed. I don’t believe it.

Note the UPDATE on that thread. Apparently this same spike happened in 2022 and then dropped back to 4%. So this could be a problem with the data.

Thanks, that 👍

For the record, it sounds like Payment Processors and Credit Card companies are two different middlemen, and the Payment Processors are claiming the Credit Cards are the ones with restrictive policies.

I want more people to know about GNUTaler. Let’s try to cut out all these middlemen, they aren’t necessary!

I think the Fediverse/Lemmyverse needs a general solution or protocol to handle this situation. I would like to see a canned plan for what will happen to these communities if they aren’t claimed, and a timeline for when.

I think there needs to be some means of archiving abandoned communities so that they become read-only, but are still indexed and searchable on the fediverse (there might be perfectly good information and history that we want to preserve for future denizens of the Fediverse (fedizens?).

Then in the future, if someone comes along and tries to make a new community with the same name on the same instance, either:

1. The old community gets revived under new management, or
2. The old community posts remain read-only, perhaps all old posts get “versioned” or “generationed” in some way so that it’s clear they happened under prior management, but are included in the history of the new community that is “masking” its name.

I like some version of option 2, personally.

The problem of random communities coming and going over time will never end for lemmy, and for the future of the fediverse I think it’s important we come up with a solution that doesn’t involve either making ad-hoc requests for new leadership or deleting the communities entirely.

Just my two cents, thanks again for your efforts!

Edit: I notice some of these communities are literally empty. I feel like those should just be autodeleted after a certain amount of time. It’s basically the same as if the mod never made it.

Thanks for your work maintaining this instance!

The performance is relative to the user. Could it be that you’re a god damned genius? :/

Heroic works. But I agree, I wish GOG embraced Linux directly.

Man, we’re gonna have to change the name of the AUR because bad journalists keep thinking this has something to do with the distro.

“Arch Linux Users who go out of their way to install RAT at risk of installing RAT”

Ah, I think you mean non-free or just non-open source.

Something being “native” means it’s compiled for your specific hardware, ex. an x86-64 binary running on an x86-64 CPU. An example of non-native is an x86 binary being emulated on an ARM CPU, Java bytecode running on a JVM, or Python code running in an interpreter.

But your drivers are all definitely all running natively on your hardware.

ofc amd drivers should be native so that shouldn’t be my issue

I’m curious, what’s an example of non-native drivers?

Driver bugs exist, it could definitely be a hole in someone’s testing. I would assume the number of people running PopOS (and whatever build of mesa their release is on) with that specific GPU is pretty low. Maybe try the amdgpu-pro driver and see if the issues go away (or change, heh)? Not sure what the recommended way of installing it on PopOS/Ubuntu/Debian is.

For me the giveaway was 2^64 being 1.8*10^19 years from now.

We’re talking about an eink tablet. I assume none of them are running X, so there’s no “desktop” involved here. I have a remarkable 2 which runs Linux. I can ssh into it to rsync files to it, back things up, and make customizations. There’s no package manager, it seems to be an embedded system. It has python, so i’ve written some python scripts to do custom operations. Everything i do on my remarkable 2 is stuff I would expect to also be able to do on an android based tablet.

Cool! I need to rewatch the first, it’s been almost 20y.

Not to nitpick, but Android is Linux based. So I would expect to be able to do all the same stuff that I can on a Linux based one.

Edit: can anyone explain why the downvote? Any concern about android ecosystem vs linux ecosystem should be moot, and I think that’s useful context…

You may note that Bazzite is not, nor is based on either of those.

Bazzite is basically a customized version of Fedora

And Fedora is upstream of Redhat. So it’s not like they’re completely unrelated.

So wait, you don’t care, or you think it should be done a certain way? OP asked what doesn’t matter to you at all.

I’m imagining a middle school student answering a homework question about Newton’s laws, and people are responding with, “Well what’s your reference frame? Consider Virtual Particles in Quantum Theory.”

Never could get Kodi to work for me. Guess I’ll try out the jellyfin one, thanks for the suggestion. But also, if this is possible, why can’t I figure out an easy way to just cast from my phone to my desktop?

From what I can gather, the little cast button is implemented via a google-specific api, and in the interest of DRM, all apps and OSes that show it will only cast content to specific “blessed” devices that are locked down.

If I could run a program on my PC that behaved identically to a Chromecast as far as my and my guests phones are concerned, I would be sooooo happy. Because then I can put that on a raspi and hook it to my TV without having google MITM everything I do.
