91·6 months agoand the kernel folks just went “it is the kernel, everything is critical”
tl;dr: this is pretty much an elaborate “go fuck yourself” towards shady ‘security’ companies.
Apologies for my ignorance, but could you elaborate?
I’m sincerely not seeing the connection between saying everything is critical as a go fuck yourself towards those companies.
Is it a ‘death by quantity’ thing?
51·6 months agoIt was absolutely in there on purpose.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was actually a stealthy industry norm.
Try Fedora’s KDE spin (which uses Wayland).
I always thought it has the best hardware support.
I run a dual monitor setup, with no issues, and game often.
Really happy to see them continuing to improve on their multi-monitor support.
From the article…
On Wayland, KWin can now be configured to pull color profile information from the monitor’s EDID metadata where present. Note that color profile information in EDID metadata is often wrong, so use this setting with caution.
Can anyone speak towards why the EDID metadata is often wrong?
Edit: TY to all who responded.
What do you think of Fedora? So far I enjoy the stability combined with near-arch levels of getting new updates!
I switched away from other distros to Fedora (KDE spin), and am happy here.
Do I wish they were better open-source citizens, yes, of course! But they’re still allot better than Microsoft/Windows close-source solution.
And as far as the distro goes, its nice to have solid support for hardware, and a good rolling release cycle that doesn’t brick my OS, and that has quick support for gaming, etc.
If you’re the type of person who wants a Windows alternative OS to use as just a tool for gaming/business first and foremost, and not to tinker with the OS for fun (unless they want to), Fedora is the best, and what we all should be proposing to others when they ask about moving to Linux.

Someday, when they’re confident enough that they have customer retention locked in, that methodology of bypassing will be removed.
They’ll keep the talent they want, and fire everyone else. “Talent Acquisition”.
Would have been cheaper for them to just poach the few talented people, under your scenario.
(And yeah, but, they’d be able to work around the poaching contracting/legal issues. They always do.)
A lot of people misunderstand economic systems by anthropomorphizing (it means to give them human characteristics) them, giving them the illusion of thought or feeling.
Just in case that was directed at me, versus part of your overall opining, I do not.
It’s an economic and social system, ‘Bartering 2.0’, and not a mechanical or otherwise thing.
Good opinion piece overall though.
One of the worst things about Capitalism is that many a time it’s cheaper to do the wrong thing, than the right thing. It promotes doing the wrong thing.
Someone help me out here.
Why buy all these studios if you’re just going to lay off all the talent?
Doesn’t that kind of brain drain damage the studios that you purchased?

You’ve never heard of a Creative Commons license?
The wiki article about Creative Commons…
Not clicking that sketchy link.
You’ve never heard of a Creative Commons license?
It’s not ‘sketchy’ at all.
Also it makes no sense to quote an entire message like that.
Actually you can just highlight the comment you’re replying to before hitting the reply button, and the Lemmy web client will copy it down for you quoted.
I started doing that when I found out people were going back and changing the reply to me after I successfully countered it, to make my reply look incorrect or off-subject.
Basically, documenting the conversation at that moment of time, so my reply is not misrepresented later on.
Its on by default but you can turn it off. I did so because it takes a good chunk of battery life away when your phone out of the blue decides to start updating apps.
Believe there’s a setting to have it only do updates when there’s wifi available, which takes less battery.
That’s weird, isn’t Google Play already updating apps without asking?
My understanding is that yes, you are correct, it’s auto-updated in the background.
You do know that isn’t how licenses work?
From a comment on HN…
To the outside observer, it seems like it’s not a carefully taken business decision but some random engineer who wanted to learn rust and flutter.
From the article…
The easiest fix is to own the game on GOG, which allows players to roll-back patches, but for Steam owners the process is a whole lot more convoluted.
… and …
A more straightforward perspective came from the team working on the enormous Fallout: London project, which was due to launch around now but has been delayed while the team works around Bethesda’s update. As the project lead says, “[the patch] has, for a lack of a better term, screwed us over.”
My only disappontment is with those humans (and humans who use ““humans””) who side with AI model using corporations that steal other people’s content to train said models for profit, over regular everyday people.
