Hello, tone-policing genocide-defender and/or carnist 👋
Instead of being mad about words, maybe you should think about why the words bother you more than the injustice they describe.
Have a day!
As if ploopy.co didn’t exist 😞
Still happy to see new open source firmware for mice being developed and implemented in new products. More options is always better.
Did ALARM have reproducible builds? They go into that in the article.
It doesn’t appear to rely on ALARM, does it? I haven’t dug through the sources thoroughly yet, but I haven’t see anything there that indicates they’re using ALARM stuff.
Linux definitely has HDR. I’ve been using Bazzite with Steam Big Picture mode as my TV interface for years and can use HDR just fine.
I definitely recommend piracy, but there are also ways to get streaming services to send full quality streams. I won’t recommend them though, because you shouldn’t have to do it in the first place for a service you’re paying for. Just pirate and use a media server or something like Kodi for a nice interface for local files.
The performance PS5 on Linux is actually very good thanks to the better hardware and more stable graphics drivers. It’s basically as performant as a comparably specced PC.
However, the fact that rebooting the system means you have to rerun the jailbreak to boot back into Linux does make it impractical for anything other than a cool gaming toy. But if you already have a PS5 vulnerable to the required exploits, it’s fun to do and it’s nice to have access to your Steam library.
They also disable the “accessible” captchas on a whim when they feel like it, so this is also a lie.
TIL about kmscon. Getting actually readable font sizes in a tty is so nice.
Checkmarx itself is associated with Israeli Occupation Forces, so it shouldn’t be used by anyone in the first place.
I don’t disagree, but I’m also not focused on the GNU aspect of this. In many cases, non-GNU stuff, like MUSL is actually better (in my opinion). My issue is with non-copyleft licenses. I’ve written alternatives to various GNU utilities because I find some of their behavior to be undesirable, but I license them under the GPL because I think that the alternatives are a net negative on society.
And I think that Canonical, like any other profit-driven entity, will do anything to increase their profit, and when they think they can get away with something shitty and they believe it will make more money, they’ll do that. Pushover licenses give them the option to restrict things more than if they relied on copyleft tools.
This would be really exciting if Canonical weren’t using this in part because it helps them de-GPL their Linux distro.
Inb4 people say that it’s impossible to do anything shitty and if they did, people would just fork 😴 That isn’t how it works. Defaults matter and most people aren’t going to go out of their way to learn about this or replace their distro when they start locking it down.
This will kill people.
