technically libreoffice exists, they really need to fix office comparability though

ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@programming.dev•Rust drivers expected to become more common in Linux kernelEnglish81·3 个月前I think this is the most important aspect of Linux accepting more rust contributions. More and more existing maintainers are aging out, and people just don’t learn or want to build large applications in C anymore. From what I understand companies doing proprietary kernel development have largely made the rust transition for new code at this point, so fewer and fewer systems level programmers will be used to C (and C++ over time) for these tasks. Existing maintainers pressure against rust development could become a threat to the long term viability of the kernel.
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•While Democracy Burns, Democrats Prioritize… Demolishing Section 230?English2·4 个月前No, because section 230 has been in effect since long before those companies existed. The law removes liability from companies who decide to moderate user content. If it were repealed they’d have to stop moderation or face liability. The Background and Passage Section on Wikipedia outlines the court cases that led to the law’s creation.
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•While Democracy Burns, Democrats Prioritize… Demolishing Section 230?English1·4 个月前Blanket removing Section 230 does literally the opposite. Without it platforms are only liable for user generated content if they moderate it. before if a platform moderated content published by users, it would be considered a content publisher, like a newspaper or magazine, and would be liable for user generated content. If they didn’t moderate they would be considered a content distributor, like a bookstore, which isn’t liable for the content of the material they distribute. So repealing it means any website with user generated content would effectively be required to operate like 4chan or Usenet.
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksto Games@sh.itjust.works•Twitch’s new storage limits will purge huge swaths of Internet gaming historyEnglish20·4 个月前It seems like since my generation had “If you put something on the Internet it’ll be there forever” drilled into us as kids, many of us feel entitled to “the internet” preserving our data for us. Most people don’t realize how much labor and resource usage goes into preserving data forever.
Idk about Amsterdam, but in a lot of places half of a comparable rent might be his whole mortgage, depending on how long he’s owned the property.
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Google Calendar removes Pride Month and Black History MonthEnglish1·4 个月前What’s your setup for self hosting? Do you use a vps or host on your own network?
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What is everyone using as a HTPC?English1·4 个月前I feel like I did at one point, but I should probably try again
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What is everyone using as a HTPC?English2·4 个月前Yeah I’m not super surprised… It used to work well when I bought it back in '17 but it’s become worse and worse with updates.
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What is everyone using as a HTPC?English4·4 个月前I’m not a home theater power user, but this is good info to make sure my setup is future proof for when I finally get a new TV. All these different standards get really confusing.
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksto Games@sh.itjust.works•Star Citizen player reports CIG is making him sign an NDA before getting a refundEnglish61·8 个月前Anyone buying into this vaporware a decade after the original announcement while it’s still nowhere near complete gets what’s coming.
This is basically just a way nicer, more flexible cron syntax being dressed up as something ridiculous. There are legitimate reasons for wanting something like this, like running some sort of resource heavy disk optimization the first Friday evening of every month or something.
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@lemmy.ml•Finally did it, got my parent on linux.English11·8 个月前Yeah this tracks, I don’t understand why people recommend Debian so much, especially to new users. Distros that update more regularly like Mint or Fedora (for non nvidia users) are much better options.
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's an aspect of life that's currently done privately that you think should be communalized?English11·8 个月前This would be solved if coin op washers locked. You could take the key like in a gym locker room. They’d probably have to charge per cycle + time to keep people from leaving them all day.
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Is it just me or do all search engines feel soooo bad these days?English93·9 个月前Kagi is the same as ddg 99% of the time.
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Google now requires JavaScriptEnglish181·9 个月前I’ve been happy with Qwant lately, they have their own index so using them doesn’t support the Google + Bing hegemony. They’re also EU based and regulated by the gdpr.
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People with framework laptops on linux (nixos?) what is your experience with them?English31·9 个月前Is that the case for the AMD boards as well?
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksto Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•Not trying to clickbait but is this the end for kernel-level anti-cheat?English6·9 个月前Removing 3rd party kernel access will probably also make cheating harder. Kernel anticheat is necessary largely in part due to cheat software using exploits in the 3rd party extension system to get kernel privileges itself and evade user mode anticheat.
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksto Games@sh.itjust.works•Deadlock gives me the same feeling Dota 2 and Team Fortress 2 did before they consumed my lifeEnglish11·9 个月前Played it for a handful of hours, it’s unfortunately at it’s best when you’re rolling the enemy team or being rolled. Matches where the teams are even easily drag out into a 1+ hour slog. I did like the feature that integrates build guides into the ui.
Is there anything for all the “subscribe to newsletter” popups on news sites and online stores?
