I don’t like lumping in the individual with the group. I hate blanket statements. All they do is enforce the „us vs them“ mentality that, in my opinion, is a big part of the problem in the first place.
But I also have the privilege of living in a country with a fairly well trained and regulated police force (Germany). I know it’s not perfect but it’s also not terrible.
Most individual cops I‘ve met do their job for the right reasons.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•HDMI Forum is unwilling to disclose the 2.1 specification for open-source (Linux): according to AMD, they had submitted a functional, HDMI 2.1-compatible driver [for linux?], which the Forum rejected.
431·12 days agoIf you actually give a fuck about image quality beyond size and brightness, digital signage also isn’t really an option. You won’t find many commercial oled displays, for example.
Best option for home entertainment, imo, is still a consumer TV, that you just never connect to the internet and use a set top box with, instead.

Linux@programming.dev•Building the PERFECT Linux PC with Linus Torvalds - LTT
42·21 days agoI‘ve watched a lot of LTT and WAN show. I do not recall him ever speaking out against unions. He only ever said, he‘d see it as a personal failure as an employer, if his employees felt the need to unionise. He wouldn’t try to stop them if they did though.

Technology@lemmy.world•HP and Dell disable HEVC support built into their laptops’ CPUsEnglish
11·1 month agoWell, hevc already is a standard. It’s too late now. AV1 will need some time until it’s widely adopted.
I‘ve only ever read the German versions but to my knowledge, they have been originally written in french and it’s up to the translators to also translate the humour. As is generally with any media (books, movies, games, etc.).
That can work very well and sometimes translations can even add additional humour that the originals didn’t have.
Also doesn’t help that they live underwater. Makes it kinda hard to harness the power of fire or electricity. Especially the former was very important for human domination

Linux@programming.dev•I ditched Linux for Windows 11 for one week - and found 9 big problems
2·2 months agoIt’s not broken though, if it doesn’t work by design, which is the case for Win 11‘s system requirements.
Doesn’t mean it’s good design but it’s not technically broken.

Linux@programming.dev•I ditched Linux for Windows 11 for one week - and found 9 big problems
7·2 months ago- People usually do prefer the comfort of familiarity. That’s not a cop out. That’s just how most people work. Why do you think the most unanimously hated windows versions were the ones that changed the most? Why do you think the basic design of macOS hasn’t changed at all in more than two decades? People like what they’re used to. And a lot of them are used to Windows and have been for decades.
- While yes, they can learn, a lot have acquired their (probably indeed very basic) knowledge of windows over the duration of 20+ years. It’s quite a jump to suddenly change that. It’s possible to learn, of course but it’s also necessary to lean and most people aren’t willing to do that if what they have works well enough.
- This does indeed come back to people prefer what they’re used to. Of course that also goes for available software. People are used to Microsoft Office, Acrobat Reader, Outlook, the Creative Cloud, etc.
For some of those there are good Linux/FOSS alternatives, but for some there aren’t. I, for example, cannot switch my work macbook for a Linux machine. It’s simply not possible because of the software I need. My desktop at home does run Linux though, because there I don’t have the same hurdles. - That is indeed a big part that deserves more focus. A mainstream PC manufacturer (like Lenovo, Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) shipping a line of devices with Linux instead of Windows, especially if they pass the licensing savings on to the customers might do a lot for Linux adoption, similar to what, for example, the Steam deck did.
Because a lot of people don’t actually care. Yea, they’re more comfortable with Windows but in the end, all they need is a browser. Why do you think chromebooks sell so well?
I prefer a password system that I can memorise or derive.
Although, fair, I do also use a pm.
You are very confident in your ability to not make a typo.
It’s more about the training data, I suppose. Those thorns getting into that might potentially mess something up? Idk, it’s just what I they said.
Either them or someone else also doing it (not sure if there’s more than one) explained they’re doing it to poison the data for AI

Fair. „Dreißig“ is quite an outlier.
But wouldn’t it be boring, if the rules didn’t have exceptions?
But also, the way our constant writing reforms are going, I wouldn’t be too surprised, if, at some point, „dreizig“ becomes the correct spelling. In some dialects, it’s already spoken more as a ‘z’ than a ‘ß’.
Then again, I’m still mad at how they massacred the spelling of reflection.
