Gamers just don’t care about non-intrusive DRM. The ideological downside of losing access to a game at some unknown point in the future just isn’t real enough for many people to care about. If there were more examples of it happening (e.g. The Crew) I think we’d start seeing a culture shift. I do think there are a fair number of gamers who will skip buying games just because they include worse DRM like Denuvo, but games that ship with Denuvo are typically also just bad games, so the intention of “voting against DRM with your wallet” gets a bit diluted.

Arches isn’t pornographic, but it can still hurt you in other ways.

Unsettling that I could recognize Mii Todd Howard from the thumbnail. Have graphics gone too far?

TOTP yes. I don’t normally have any passkeys (not political, it’s just new tech that I don’t use enough), but I tested with passkeys.io and passkey creation works with Vaultwarden, and the passkey then exports as expected, so I would guess all fine. When transferring from BW->VW, I’d recommend using the .zip export option so that it carries over attachments also.

If it helps, you can use https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ to stop the auto-AI inserts.

I switched to self-hosted Vaultwarden and it was so trivial. I had it set up and switched in literally like 10 or 15 minutes. The ability to export your vault from any of your devices makes it less of a concern that you might accidentally wipe your Vaultwarden DB and be screwed, and you don’t even need to add surface area by exposing it to the internet if all your devices log onto your local network occasionally.

Originally I was okay kicking $10 to Bitwarden as a sort of donation, but them doubling the fee for dubious “ooh fancy smart scanning tech” just seems like them wanting more money, or at least misusing the money that they have. If they polled users to ask “do you want to spend double the fee for us to do smart scanning?” I guarantee they would have gotten a resounding ‘no’.

Apparently the price increase happened yesterday; I hadn’t heard anything about it until just now. Gave me the push I needed to switch to self-hosted vaultwarden in like 15 minutes. Very pleased with how simple the docker compose and export->import were. I’ll note that I’m running it privately on my local network, which I’m assuming should work fine as my devices enter that network semi-frequently and should keep everything synced up(?).

Personally it’s because my fingers are already on “s” and “u”.

Really appreciate their takeaway from this. It’s unfortunate that AI is so popular right at the moment that a lot of people are trying to switch to Linux. They’re also still solidly within the honeymoon period so we’ll see how they feel in a month or two.

I was looking at point #3 from the article, which is more misleading in this area than point #5.

ZFS doesn’t require more RAM (or at least not meaningfully more), it just uses it if you have it. The RAM/ARC can be turned down in the configuration if you don’t want it to do that. I think on Linux other filesystems just use the native Linux RAM cache instead(?), so it’s basically the same thing as ARC, just less prominent? Also, doesn’t ZFS have RAIDZ expansion now? Actually a lot of this article smells funny… probably because they just happen to know more about BTRFS. Doesn’t BTRFS still have the RAID5/6 write hole? I wonder what sort of setup they’re using if they’re running it on a NAS.

Note people are reporting some crashing at certain points with the voices38 crack. It will need to be proper’d again. I also feel like voices38 doing Dead Space when 0xZeOn was already spending a lot of time doing it is disrespectful, doubly so when voices38 is like “hey my crack is real and proper and doesn’t crash” and then is immediately eating crow when theirs is crashing also. Maybe ZeOn will be able to study voices38’s crack and learn from it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they just rage-quit instead; I know I would be demoralized as hell if someone just swooped in and invalidated all my work.

After a certain point I think the more likely scenario is not that right-wingers keep “falling for it”, it’s that they have a singular motivation that they need to hide with other more socially acceptable excuses. When those excuses are cast aside whenever convenient, they get to appear outraged and tricked, all while their real goal continues chugging along. This also sets up a sock dummy for leftists to laugh at and pretend that progress is being made, while in fact nothing has changed. IDK, maybe there are people genuinely being convinced otherwise, but we’re about a decade into this nonsense and if someone didn’t exit the train about… a decade ago, it says almost everything we need to know about them.

I don’t think they’re all that separable. In the worst case, using a corporation’s LLM, as Linus is doing, is in essence voicing support for any negative effects in the strongest way possible. LLMs as a technology are fueled by stolen and scraped content, which is in turn fueled by other myriad issues, like datamining and privacy erosion. LLMs as a technology are also extremely inefficient and resource intensive; by writing yourself off as “just one person” doing it we’re ignoring the global effect of many “one persons” all consuming resources by using this technology.

I guess my point is that by using and helping to normalize LLM usage it’s playing right into the hands of all the previously mentioned consequences. Big tech doesn’t need you to use their specific brand of LLM, they just need you to become dependent on the idea of LLM assistance itself. Their endgoal is total adoption and mindshare, and they’re spending vast amounts of money in order to reach it. By refusing to support the technology no matter how “useful” it might be, we can prevent many of the inherent problems from getting worse, and prevent big tech from gaining even more leverage over slightly important things like “is the news real”.

Given his flogging of LLMs with respect to the kernel, I’m guessing Linus is of the opinion that vibe coding is okay to play around with for yourself and for your personal tools, but to use it professionally or to force others to interact with your own vibe coded junk is where the fault lies. This is a fairly mature take on the surface, but also I’m someone who really can’t get past the part where the inherent existence of LLMs is carving ruin through the world through their content theft, resource depletion, and class warfare… so like… I hope he pulls a little harder on those threads sometime instead of judging it purely based on its utility.

All targeting the same person as the other 3 accounts, 4 hours apart? That’s quite a coincidence if it’s not the same person. My guess is they first went through with their main account, then decided to do the same later with their other accounts. Either way, it’s the exact same behavior as the others, so it’s worth calling out in the exact same way.

It’s 2 years old, as opposed to the sock puppet ones which are 4 months old. It’s voting the same way as the other 3 also. I guess it doesn’t really matter which is the main, just thought I’d add it regardless since it wasn’t mentioned.

I think this is their main account: https://lemvotes.org/user/krimson@lemmy.world

I fed a couple of your comments into lemvotes and found out who it was pretty easily. I imagine this is a bannable offense somewhere?

(Sorry I saw this cross the lemmy timeline and I found it interesting). I’m a gay guy, but I feel that the sentiment that “literally” everyone is bisexual is an obvious nonstarter and dumb. My bi friends that have said stuff like that before are surely shorthanding that they think that many “straight” people are bi to some degree, and while I think that’s closer to true, I also still think it’s dumb and reductive. Sexuality is complicated and not beholden to labels, yet I feel I’m 100% gay, no leeway, same as you probably feel about being lesbian - I have to imagine most straight people are the same.

It seems paradoxical that in the land of infinite sexuality permutations, these rigid labels are accurate, but maybe it would only seem unintuitive on the surface. Who’s to say that all these permutations are evenly distributed, or that they don’t clump up around the extremes, and so on. We’ll probably eventually know the actual statistics and maybe the science on how all this stuff works (maybe we already do - I’m dumb please forgive), but in the meantime people are just making some smudgy extrapolations based on their own experiences and the experiences of having many of their “straight” friends come out as bi when they’re like 40+ years old. Many “straight” people probably didn’t even know it was an option until they saw others doing so. I expect such extrapolations will die down pretty quickly after enough time has passed to make it clear the numbers aren’t continuing to grow. My guess is people are just genuinely excited about the prospect that many people can potentially join them in being LGBTQ+, and aren’t really thinking through the rest of the consequences.

Your last paragraph makes me think that the implication is that if you’re even 1% attracted to men then you’re being told you might as well date a man because that’s the “normal” or “easy” thing to do which is super messed up also. Above all, no one should be dictating anyone else’s sexuality, and if they do then you’ve learned a free lesson in who you can ignore.
