  • Please don't use Discord for FOSS projects

    Jump

  • Discord supports threaded topic based formats as well.

    The reality is that for a lot of interactions, a live chat feels better than a forum post. You can very easily do both on discord, though.

    It's not perfect, but the alternatives that aren't a whole project by themselves building a tool don't have feature parity, or the user base.

  • HDMI forum rejects AMD's open source 4K@120Hz and 5K@240Hz HDMI driver

  • "Monitors" are smaller.

    And the minimum cost of entry to anything reasonably sized is double to triple. Changing some settings is well worth it.

  • Distro for a local "cloud gaming" no monitor desktop

  • I've had decent experience with nobara with a 2080. I had a couple hiccups early, and had to reinstall basically right away, but after that it's been solid.

  • AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants

    Jump

  • You should hate it as a manager. You're filtering out every single quality candidate because only a deranged nut job would even consider such an unhinged request. Submitting a video, in and of itself, proves they are not worth hiring.

    You don't need to process every candidate. Just randomly take 5%, or 1%, or .001%, and do a real hiring process. Anything at all is better than requiring a video application.

  • AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants

    Jump

  • There's also that.

    But purely on the premise of "you should take the time to record a video merely for the pleasure of maybe having us look at your application", their expectations are way out of whack.

    This isn't like when Google put scavenger hunts or puzzles or whatever in ads and gave job offers to people who solved them. The people who got hired by those ads were following through out of curiosity/the fun of solving the problems, and that wasn't the main/only way to get a job. It's just a new absurd demand trying to push the threshold of what's a legitimate ask.

  • Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome

  • The scary part is presenting it as a fucking privacy feature with no consequences.

  • Your company requiring video submissions for a fucking application is the easiest "this company is batshit insane and there's no possibility working for them could ever be worth it" red flag I've ever seen.

  • Affordable Android Excellence: Best Smartphones Under $200 in 2024

    Jump

  • That's not abuse.

    If the developers choose to support that hardware, they have a reason. In either case, there is no way to use open source software that's abusive, with the exception of stuff like Amazon taking an open source project, modifying it without distribution so they're not obligated to share their changes, and selling the product as a service (at a scale that makes it extremely difficult for the authors to compete). That's against the spirit of open source even if it wasn't foreseen when licenses were written and is hard to legislate.

    Using open source software to save money isn't.

  • AI companies are violating a basic social contract of the web and and ignoring robots.txt

    Jump

  • This is like saying putting logs on a fire is "one or two breakthroughs away" from nuclear fusion.

    LLMs do not have anything in common with intelligence. They do not resemble intelligence. There is no path from that nonsense to intelligence. It's a dead end, and a bad one.

  • Controversial benchmarking website goes behind paywall — Userbenchmark now requires a $10 monthly subscription

    Jump

  • None.

    The actual "single core", "multi-core" were basically fine last I was aware, but they went so far into apeshit meltdown about the fact that AMD was offering better value than Intel with Ryzen (which is kind of back and forth since, but AMD is the reason I could get a 16 (real, capable of demanding single core loads too) core for $500 a couple years ago, not too long after Intel was selling 6 cores for more than that.) that it undermined everything else.

    Anyways, UB's owner didn't like that AMD had good shit so he kept changing the "gaming/desktop/whatever" grade formulas to tilt the comparisons to Intel using more and more hilarious mechanisms. It started with a reasonable "you don't really benefit from games past 4/6/8 cores" and de-emphasizing super high core counts that hadn't really been an issue before, but it quickly degraded into obviously cheating hard by whatever means necessary to punish AMD, with even worse diatribes in the descriptions to match.

  • My son uses Arch... How do I know? He tells me... Constantly...

  • Absolutely.

    They're exactly the same as the audio being out of sync. It literally makes me want to puke.

  • Affordable Android Excellence: Best Smartphones Under $200 in 2024

  • Abusing their hard work to buy cheap devices and get their longer OS support for free is not cool.

    This is literally a core principle of Open Source. You can charge money if you want, but anyone is fully entitled to distribute your work for free.

    It is not and cannot be abuse.

  • If you're actually hearing impaired I'll probably tolerate it for you. Though realistically we just won't watch anything together.

    Otherwise I hate you for asking. Nothing makes a show/movie unwatchable more than having the text of what a character is going to say shoved in my face before they say it. I'd rather get kicked in the balls repeatedly than watch shit with subtitles. It's less severe torture.

  • Forgetting the history of Unix is coding us into a corner [The Register]

  • Wow that's hilariously idiotic.

  • How can I report apps that falsely claim to be open source?

    Jump

  • If the source isn't available at all, yeah. Which is why I brought up the FTC to begin with (since Google is in the US).

    But I doubt they'd act if the license isn't permissive enough.

  • How can I report apps that falsely claim to be open source?

    Jump

  • The FTC takes action against false advertising.

    "Open Source" doesn't have a singular legally relevant definition no matter what organizations claim otherwise, though.

  • Free to be Weird: Lowering barriers to Open Source contributions

    Jump

  • I really want absolutely no part of people who don't understand code using LLMs to submit things they don't understand. That's a disaster waiting to happen at best.

    If you don't understand every line you're submitting completely, you should not be submitting code. It absolutely does need to be restricted to people who know what they're doing.

  • AMD Quietly Funded A Drop-In CUDA Implementation Built On ROCm: It's Now Open-Source

  • It already has legitimacy. It's their hardware that doesn't, despite the decent raw flops and high memory.

  • I don't mind fulfilled by Amazon. I'm selective, but there's still value there.

    If I could permanently remove everything that isn't in an Amazon warehouse from showing up in search results the platform would be way less annoying, though. De-emphasizing that nonsense is a huge value add as far as I'm concerned.
