  • I searched CachyOS vs Fedora on YouTube and all I found was AI Slop 🙄

  • "Versus" videos or articles in general seem to be especially susceptible to being awful garbage

  • hey can you hear me

  • Systemd haters when you use systemd instead of UltraXinitializer made in 2005 by John Init in C-- that requires you to manually write init scripts and has 894 critical severity CVEs

  • Add it to the collection

  • too bad. Mandatory Internet connection to enable the ai enhancement features, and as a bonus uses built in Infrared sensors to upload your walking habits straight to Palantir. Updates are 2gb each because what the hell are patches or deltas. Uses 24w on idle for some reason. Includes agentic ai!

  • EA is hiring a Senior Anti-Cheat Engineer to lead development of a native ARM64 driver for their Javelin kernel anti-cheat system and start laying groundwork for Linux/Proton support

    Jump

  • good points. yeah, client side anticheats are still vulnerable and I think they're mostly just popular out of pure laziness. Making a good server side anticheat takes a lot of thought into what is and isn't possible so it's easier for a company to just slap on some slop and get 80% of the way there.

    in valorant's case, their anticheat is also a great date collection software to beam every possible identifier straight to John Data or whoever it ends up with.

  • is this really a problem? if you don't make a Zed account (this is for their paid services) you don't have to agree to any TOS. The editor remains untouched.

  • Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS

    Jump

  • man they dont even got everyone on windows 11 yet

  • Because apparently JPEG-XL is still unsupported nearly everywhere

    Jump

  • AVIF is also great! if for some reason you don't like webp because google makes it, AVIF uses AV1 which is an open codec.

    it's also much smaller. great for web graphics

  • i'm a proponent of server-side anticheat, but there is a few reasons games do it client side.

    • server-side anticheats depend on heuristics and "checks" determining if a player is doing something "impossible".
    • one example would be checking if the player somehow has perfect accuracy on every player before even shooting, or if the player moves further than is possible in a given timespan (these are very simple examples).
    • this is MUCH more difficult to make accurate, since these checks are fallible to network conditions or other hiccups.
    • most online games opt for client-side anticheat since it lets the devs just "trust the client" easier. it can also detect things that would be impossible server-side, like X-ray (seeing other players through walls. this is impossible to detect server side).

  • ChatGPT uninstalls surged by 295% after DoD deal

  • ai piracy is still possible! Break into the openai servers and yoink the gpt 5.2 weights. and then publish them

  • Piefed is buggy and slow and Blorp sucks...

    Jump

  • Blorp absolutely does not "suck" and this user either has a problem or is just generally rude.

    throughout my nearly 3 years making Photon I've had my fair share of hate comments, including one thread on a post, by someone encouraging people to check photon out, filled with people absolutely dunking on it.

    your software is great enough to be noticed and hosted by several Lemmy and piefed instances, and you've got nearly 1000 or more users on a client for a super niche platform. you've done something right.

    speaking from experience, hate comments really do dig into you even amongst a sea of positivity, but I hope you know that the opinion of 1 immature person does not matter in the grand scheme of things.

    one more thing: people are much more likely to speak out when they have a problem versus when they enjoy some software. I guarantee you for every person either leaving feedback or complaining, there are 10 more silently enjoying your app.

  • Fuck Github, Microsoft has made it impossible to create an account without linking to hardware or phones

  • +1 for Zed, switched to it and it is significantly more responsive. it also ACTUALLY supports Wayland instead of some cursed chromium ozone abomination

  • Reddit decides to remove r/all

    Jump

  • even if it was skewed, I knew that it's what everyone else was seeing. it brings a sense of community (even though it started to get overtaken by frontpage bots)

  • Reddit decides to remove r/all

    Jump

  • it's a weird feeling when a feature to see the same stuff that everyone else sees gets removed in favor of personalized feeds. it's like my connection with the outside world was severed. this sucks.

  • Linux gamers: Do you ever occasionally shut down your PC?

    Jump

  • Hibernation is underrated. If you don't want to risk losing stuff you have open but want 0 energy draw, hibernation is great. As a bonus, you can store your swap file in an encrypted partition to prevent attacks possible with normal sleep mode.

    I have my sleep option set to automatically switch to hibernation if it's been asleep for 3 hours.

  • Trump Cuts Off Anthropic, AI Firm That Stood Against Killer Robots and Mass Surveillance

    Jump

  • anthropic is despised in the open weight & local ai community. this is rather ironic given that anthropic partnered with Palantir (who does assist the government with mass spying)

  • im not pro-ai but I really doubt that there's nearly as much "negative sentiment" regarding it as these articles getting spammed makes it seem. it'd be great for the bubble to pop already but nearly all the people I know either dont care or actively use it. im starting to feel disconnected from reality on lemmy as it actively turns into Facebook
