You can still block it easily with the command prompt (Shift+F10 during the install) as mentioned. But don’t let that stop you from switching to Linux if you feel like it.

Are there any cases of such payout actually happening…? I’m not buying it. (Literally and figuratively.)

Yeah, I see a ton of this under random.
Here’s my front page at this very moment: https://i.imgur.com/4IsJ68f.png

I don’t think I’ve ever made a “clean upgrade” on Linux. I’ve done the opposite though, that is, bring an old install over to a new computer.

Always use /dev/disk/* (I use by-id) for RAID, as those links will stay constant even if a disk is renamed (for example, from sdb to sdd).

Because the games that run on the Steam Deck are PC games, no emulation required. It’s a joke.

Ah, that makes more sense. I looked up the original abstract and indeed it looks more like what you’d expect (hard to comprehend for someone that’s not in the field).

Though to clarify (for others reading this) they still did use generative AI to (help?) write the paper, which is only part of why it was withdrawn.

Same here. I switched to DDG last year, but had to go back within two weeks; it was just too annoying.
Google search results have indeed gotten pretty bad, but I’ve yet to see anyone surpass them.

The entire abstract is AI. Even without the explicit mention in one sentence, the rest of the text should’ve been rejected as nonspecific nonsense.

Not obvious at all. Motion blur at high movement speeds makes things unreadable even at 540 Hz, proving that even at 540 Hz there is still plenty of motion blur that the human eye can see.

As the video says: “Yes, your eyes really are capable of seeing this in real life”

ZFS has triple parity support for RAID-Z (basically RAID-5/RAID-6/RAID-7 with better data safety guarantees), so there’s that.

The X370 Taichi was considered one of the best boards of the generation, so I’m pretty sure they improved.
Mine’s still going strong in a friend’s computer 7 years later, with a Ryzen 5600.

And on kbin it shows as strikethrough, so the 2s are crossed out.

I literally haven’t had ANY of those problems running Windows 10 or 11 FWIW, not have any of my friends or relatives.

I’m not anti-Linux or anything though, have used it for 26 years now, but only briefly on the desktop.

Is the difference between them and Steam really that great in practice though? This link has 30583 games that seem to only exist on Steam. But yeah, there’s probably no paid deals involved. Still not a huge difference in practice IMO.

Even if encrypted this doesn’t sound like something compatible with the GDPR.

Ubuntu is just getting worse and worse. I was pretty happy running Ubuntu server for years after moving from Gentoo; I jag lost interest in spending time taking care for that server and wanted something easy.

I went to Debian half a year ago and it’s been great. Should’ve done it earlier.

Mostly for finding information that for whatever reason can be difficult to find using search engines. For example, I’ve used ChatGPT to ask spoiler-free questions about plot points in books I’m reading, which has worked rather well. It hasn’t spoiled me yet, but rather tells me that giving more information would be a spoiler.

Last time I tried to look something up on Google, carefully, I got a massive spoiler for the end of the entire book series.

I also use it for code-related questions at times, but very rarely, and mostly when using a language I’m not used to. Such as when I wrote an expect script for the first (and perhaps only) time recently.

Do you think giving the aggressor what they wanted is a good way to promote future peace?

“climate change and other left wing topics”… I know that’s basically how it works in some countries, but it’s insane to consider certain scientific facts left wing, and we really shouldn’t support such statements.
