I'm looking to get a custom ROM that has good compatibility with my device. Would you recommend /e/? I couldn't find a tutorial on how to install it with Linux but I don't think it should be that hard to figure out.
It’s pretty solid. I use it daily and don’t have any big problems. Install is simple. Just install adb and fastboot from your linux repository. This should cover the most of the installation requirements.
I don't know if installing from the repositories is such a fantastic idea. I've had instances where I've almost fucked up a device because I installed the ones from the repositories and they weren't new enough. I would recommend downloading the ones from Google directly.
New year, new Hyprland release brought to you by Yours Truly. This update is quite large, so you might want to read these patch notes.
There have been quite a bunch of internal rewrites, mostly around memory safety, the renderer, and animation system. Although performance shouldn't change much, it should improve stability in edge cases. Please do report any regressions you might find, if they aren't reported already.

Iran has purchased Russian-made Sukhoi-35 fighter jets, a senior Revolutionary Guards Commander said on Monday, amid Western concerns about Tehran and Moscow’s growing military cooperation, Reuters reports.
This is the first time an Iranian official has confirmed the purchase of Su-35 jets. However, Ali Shadmani, who was quoted by the Student News Network, did not clarify how many jets were purchased and whether they had already been delivered to Iran.
“Whenever necessary, we make military purchases to strengthen our air, land and naval forces. … The production of military equipment has also accelerated,” the deputy Coordinator of the Khatam-ol-Anbia Central Headquarters said.
“If the enemy acts foolishly, it will taste the bitter taste of being hit by our missiles, and none of its interests in the Occupied Territories will remain safe,” Shadmani warned referring to Iran’s arch-rival in the region, Israel.
I really hope every country the US trades with is looking at this and behind the scenes making whatever arrangements are available to them to cut the US out of their trade network, with the ultimate intent of just ceasing trade with the US entirely. It would be the best option. Trump is going to keep weaponizing economic power to get what he wants, and if other countries keep folding, it's just going to make him bolder. If they all just cut the US out, it'd hurt them, but it'd hurt the US and specifically Trump's influence a lot more in the long term.
Initially, I thought that I needed to stock up on Colombian coffee before the prices skyrocketed. Now I feel like I need to stock up on non-Colombian coffee before something similar happens elsewhere.
Non conosco gli altri programmi e personalmente non li ho mai usati, ma dopo troppo tempo passato a litigarci, ho personalmente rimpiazzato snapdrop con la più aggiornata fork Pairdrop.
Nella pagina github lo sviluppatore annota anche tutti i miglioramenti rispetto a Snapdrop
disponibile via browser open source e software libero: si può gestire un server in autonomia mandare file da un dispositivo all’altro senza appoggiare i file su server terzi i dispositivi devono essere sulla stessa rete
Vi presentiamo oggi un progetto open source 1 semplicissimo da utilizzare e allo stesso tempo davvero molto utile. Parliamo di Snapdrop, il metodo più veloce e semplice per trasferire file all’interno della propria rete.
Vi è mai capitato di dover trasferire un file, di qualunque tipo e peso, dal vostro computer al vostro smartphone e di non saper come fare? Magari siete andati alla ricerca di un cavo per attaccare il computer allo smartphone oppure avete tentato di mandarvi il file su cloud per poi riscaricarlo.
La cosa più semplice che potete fare però è utilizzare il sito web di cui parliamo oggi. Grazie a Snapdrop infatti non dovrete installare alcuna applicazione né avere alcuna conoscenza tecnica.
Vi basterà collegarvi al sito e poi collegarvi allo stesso sito attraverso qualunque computer oppure con il vostro smartphone. Verranno visti automaticamente tutti i device collegati nella stessa rete in quel momento!
A ognuno verrà dato un nome casuale per l’identificazione. Questo serve per essere sicuri di mandare il file corretto alla persona giusta. Una volta che ne siete certi cliccate il nickname generato e selezionate il file che avete bisogno di mandare.
In pochissimi istanti vedrete comparire il file sul secondo device e potrete scaricarlo con estrema semplicità.
Tutto qui!
Semplice, veloce e sicuro
Come avete visto è davvero incredibilmente semplice utilizzarlo. Inoltre come vi abbiamo anticipato il progetto è totalmente open source 1 e gratuito. Vive di donazioni e se vi piace potete decidere di donare qualcosa al suo sviluppatore.

Più avanti faremo un articolo dedicato a tutte le alternative ad AirDrop, intanto se non vi trovate bene con Snapdrop potete provare una delle alternative qui sotto oppure leggere il nostro articolo dedicato.
Blaze, interessante metodo per condividere i file con qualcuno. A differenza di Snapdrop non utilizza WebRTC (la stessa tecnologia utilizzata per le videochiamate via browser). È open source 3.
NitroShare, altra applicazione open source 4 per condividere file. Non funziona però online, dovete scaricare un’applicazione.
Instant.io, altro software open source 5 per condividere file. Questo utilizza la tecnologia WebTorrent è quindi molto utile se utilizzato su un browser che la sfrutta nativamente come Brave.
Blymp.io, anche questa è un’applicazione molto comoda e open source 6 da utilizzare per scambiarsi file. Utilizza, facoltativamente, anche WebRTC.
FilePizza, anche questo è un altro software open source 7 per scambiarsi file.

This is the evangelical Christian myth that is being pushed. Christians do this because they believe there is virtue in suffering.
That is why grandma must choke to death on her vomit while everybody watches and sobs instead of having a celebration of life party with loved ones and then comfortably drifting off to cardiac arrest in her sleep.
All instances that these Christians bring up in Canada where it appears that MAID is being pushed on someone who doesn’t need it turns out to be a nothing story. No one is seriously being sent to their death because they are poor or require expensive care. This is a fear that is being manufactured so that grandma can die painfully. In Christ name amen.
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for improved infectious aerosol concentrations through interventions that reduce the transmission of airborne infections. The aims of this review were to map the existing literature on interventions used to improve infectious aerosol concentrations in hospitals and understand challenges in their implementation.
Methods
We reviewed peer-reviewed articles identified on three databases, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from inception to July 2024. 6417 articles were identified, 160 were reviewed and 18 were included.
Findings
Results on aerosol concentration were discussed in terms of three categories: (1) filtration and inactivation of aerosol particles; (2) effect of airflow and ventilation on aerosol concentrations; and (3) improvements or reduction in health conditions. The most common device or method that was outlined by researchers was high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters which were able to reduce aerosol concentrations under investigation across the included literature. Some articles were able to demonstrate the effectiveness of interventions in terms of improving health outcomes for patients.
Interpretation
The key finding is that infectious aerosol concentration improvement measures based on filtration, inactivation, improved air flow dynamics, and ventilation reduce the likelihood of nosocomial infections. However limitations of such approaches must be considered such as noise pollution and effects on ambient humidity. Whilst these efforts can contribute to improved air quality in hospitals, they should be considered with the other interacting factors such as microclimates, room dimensions and use of chemical products that effect air quality.
Funding
This study is funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) (NIHR205439).
Copilot purposely stops working on code that contains hardcoded banned words from Github, such as gender or sex. And if you prefix transactional data as trans_ Copilot will refuse to help you. 😑
As some people already mentioned here or here, Copilot purposely stops working on code that contains hardcoded banned words from Github, such as gender or sex. I am labelling this as a bug because ...
Really? Maybe my variable names and column headers were sufficiently obscure and technical that I didn’t run into these issues about a month ago. Didn’t have any problems like that when analyzing census data in R and made Copilot generate most of the code.
Is this one of those US exclusive things?
I definitely did refer to various categories such as transgender or homosexual in the code, and copilot was ok with all of them. Or maybe that’s the code I finally ended up with after modifying it. I should run some more tests to see if it really is allergic to queer code.
Edit: Made some more code that visualizes the queer data in greater detail. Had no issues of any kind. This time the, inputs to Copilot and the code itself had many references to “sensitive subjects” like sex, gender and orientation.
Why would anyone rename a perfectly valid variable name to some garbage term just to please our Microsoft Newspeak overlords? That would make the code less readable and more error prone. Also everything with human data has a field for sex or gender somewhere, driver's licenses, medical applications, biological studies and all kinds of other forms use those terms.
But nobody really needs to use copilot to code, so maybe just get rid of it or use an alternative.
...3 weeks ago I am bumping this discussion just to add a voice - the hospital I work at is attempting to harmonize how old and new systems store things like sex and gender identity in an effort to model the social complexities of the topic in our database as health outcomes have been proven to be demonstrably better when doctor's honors a patient's preferred name and gender expression
This may turn out to be a blessing in disguise, under the current administration.
It’s almost as if it’s better for humans to do human things (like programming). If your tool is incapable of achieving your and your company’s needs, it’s time to ditch the tool.

Could we add the “disable downvotes” option that lemmy had in native settings. Ie. it’ll hide downvotes and behave according to upvotes only.
I know this is technically possible in voyager if you’re on an entire instance with downvotes disabled, but lemmy settings let you do this with a single account, which voyager does not.
Apart from the known iOS issue requiring the occasional app restart, no bugs and loving the app. Only feature i’d like to see is a display of the instance in the post list. So not just ‘news’, but ‘news@lemmy.world’. Some community names exist on different instances (which I think is not helping new users, but it’s a lemmy problem, not a voyager one)
My best shot at a stock photo for the #Fediverse, showing its most popular projects.
Please show some mercy, I am not a hand model (obvi) and my masking skills are a little rusty.
If some photographers would like to improve it, I could share my original photo and screenshot.
Hilariously, when I opened the tripod my bracelet got stuck in it and I semi-panicked for a few moments because I was home alone... with a tripod stuck to my wrist. Thankfully I managed to free myself 😂
I didn't know that, thanks. I still think it's a little weird over just using something with the standard Lemmy icon, but it's a great image eitherway (lacking apps though)
It's also very featureless. Basically videos, comments, likes. I'm on it, and I've opened it maybe 6x in 2 weeks? I also think it's just an open feed; all the videos posted in chronological order (but I could be wrong here). Idk if this goes against the Fediverse creed to have an algorithm-fed feed, but I think part of the nature of these short form, endless-scrolling apps is finding vids about your interests from new places.
I think we should ultimately support algorithm feeds, but they should be free and open algorithms that can be peer reviewed, and also maybe give the users some control over which algorithm is applied and how. The problem with current social algorithms is they operate in the dark and are manipulative, not that they provide relevant content to users.
That, and it's arguable primary purpose is to serve ads. "People similar to you clicked on these ads" type shit. And I get it to a point, platforms need to support themselves, and unless it's a paid app, that doesn't keep servers running. But it'd be nice to just get one every 10 minutes, and not every 10 seconds, and also to opt out of tracking for served ads instead of just random ones.
Am I the only one who is bothered by this pic. It looks so fake and photoshopped.
Maybe it’s because my phone has weird contrast settings for accessibility.
Obviously I think whoever made this pic has great intentions and it’ll definitely be good enough for an article banner or something which is what it’s most likely to be used for.
It just occurred to me that the Forbes article uses a stock photo of a hand holding up a smartphone with a bunch of apps from mainstream, for-profit social media... even if the piece is about the #Fediverse.
So on my to do list for today: recreating a similar photo showing Fediverse software instead. Like, how my actual phone looks like.
As a photographer, I feel it's my duty to do this.
A few weeks a go discord on linux had an update that enabled you to do screensharing on wayland even with audio.
There are a few bugs. For example, you can not change the window and sometimes have to reactivate the audio check box to have the audio work. Sadly the flatpak could not shit that update, because the chromium version shipped has to major bugs in flatpaks (issue).
But the stable .deb has now working screen sharing with audio. That is something that x11 does not have.
This issue should serve as a reminder to people wondering why we might not update Discord to upcoming releases immediately: Discord 0.0.75 started shipping Electron 32.2.2, a version that ended up ...
It's been a thing for a while with rolling distros, let's hope the release based ones ship it and their the flatpak issues so most users can enjoy sharing the screen with friends soon.
But "with audio" is actually a new feature. Previously I was manually sending the audio through my voice channel which worked pretty well but it would be nice to have a separate stream for the streaming audio.
Probably not enough for me to install the spyware though, I'll keep using Discord via Firefox.
Closed-source software that sends home tons of information about your system without consent. All communication accessible to a VC funded company that has huge pressure to make as much money as possible.

At 30 I realised I was utterly depressed and had been most of my life. Was so used to it that I didn't realise I could be any different.
Started a long long journey to sort that. Started trying things. Scary as it was, it was less scary than living the rest of my life without ever having lived.
Tried new relationships, new religions, tried new experiences. Again, pushing myself out of my comfort zone a lot but then if I didn't, I was heading towards an early grave and what could be worse than dying?

AFAIK, any. But expect performance lost due to bottoneck in bandwidth. Even the latest TB5 is only slightly faster than PCIe 2.0 x16. OCulink 2.0 can achieve PCIe 4.0 x8 which is way better, but Surface Pro have neither.
eGPUs have all but disappeared. 90% of the models available in 2019 are no longer available with no models to replace them. Even bigger companies like razer and coolermaster seemed to silently discontinue them and simply let the product webpages break down. I think power requirements of the last years of GPUs have also made them less practical and people aren't going to pay 500€ for an enclosure when that is simply approaching the cost of the rest of the PC.
There are even fewer thunderbolt4 but thunderbolt3 has a bit of latency results in slight performance loss, so finding an old model enclosure with thunderbolt3 might be your best chance of getting it. Different storefronts sometimes still have a few in stock you can buy.
Edit: Nowhere did I say "no eGPUs have been made" just that there are signifucantly less options than 5 years ago:
Look at the vendor pages for most of these models and see if you can buy them from tge vendor or an manufacturer-listed distributer and then try to find newer, actively produced eGPUs by the manufacturers (including the big names). For the vast majority they have stopped making them.
To frame it as an example: If you saw that 30 laptop manufacturers making 100+ models in 5 years went to 3 manufacturers making 5 models, you would say that is a very rapid decline.
There are plenty of chassis available if you go looking. Some haven't been updated to newer models but remain available.
A chassis is fairly simple - its basically a bit of mother board with pcie and a thunderbolt 3+ connection. Thunderbolt 3 remains powerful enough for most uses, and ones with dedicated PSU will work with newer cards. I think the lack of new products reflects the lack of needing to change the products at the moment.
I haven't seen much about thunderbolt 4 reducing the overhead. It might do, but there are fundamental constraints in these devices as this is basically converting pcie to thunderbolt and transferring over a distance - thats not going to ever match a direct pcie connection into a motherboard no matter how fast Thunderbolt 4 or 5 are. Thunderbolt 3 may not be the main bottleneck.
The Razer Core X is still available for example. And there are loads of smaller companies woth offerings.
I think just the highest end cards would be out of reach for the popular existing chassis but there is not going to be much market for pairing cards costing 1000s with a laptop when you are far better getting a desktop. So there may not be the market to make lots of new thunderbolt 4 chassis with PSUs.
I think power requirements of the last years of GPUs have also made them less practical
Wait, what? If power requirements are going up, then I'd say that there's more pressure for an eGPU, if anything. Laptops are limited in heat dissipation compared to desktops.
I can understand someone saying "you're better off using a desktop for gaming with powerful GPUs, if you can deal with not moving it around". But I wouldn't expect that power-hungry GPUs would make internal GPUs in laptops more desirable.
eGPUs have all but disappeared. 90% of the models available in 2019 are no longer available with no models to replace them.
??? The success of the Mini PC formfactor has caused a big resurgence of egpu products. Now they are sold as empty pcie slots with a thunderbolt or occulink port. You provide your own GPU and power supply.

I think the best you can do these days is a GPU dock that you’re also using a power supply with. I’ve been looking into such a thing for my Lenovo Legion Go as it’s got USB4 and I rarely use the thing not hooked up to a larger display.
Its worth saying a GPU dock is just an eGPU. Often they use mobile GPUs and will make something more streamlined or portable. They often include a USB hub.
Most eGPU chassis are the same tech but often larger so you can install a larger desktop gpu, and have more space for cooling and even a dedicated PSU.
GPU docks have their own usefulness but you are likely to get more performance for the price by getting your own chassis and card, but less mobility and more bulky.
I have a Surface Laptop 6 and a Razer eGPU enclosure with a Radeon 6600 XT in it and it works fine. The manufacturer will list what sorts of GPUs are compatible, assuming you get a brand name one and not some cheap no-name Amazon job.
Honestly if you have the money, go for a PC. The mobile CPU in laptops/tablets will your biggest bottleneck. Get a decent CPU, motherboard and PSU and the best GPU you can afford and it’ll probably out perform the Surface.
A desktop PC will be cheaper long term than a laptop. If you need a laptop, go relatively cheap and don't expect to use it for gaming. You can get a really solid laptop that should last 5-10 years for $600-700 (Lenovo E14 AMD base model is $700, less on sale; upgrade your own RAM though), and a decent desktop will be about $1k if you DIY. It's a higher initial cost, but in 5 years you'll just upgrade the GPU and be saving money.
The most important consideration is your laptops ports and it's cpu. You will need Thunderbolt 3, 4 or 5 or USB 4 to get high enough transfer speeds and bandwidth between your eGPU and the laptop. You also need a decent CPU to get the full benefits - an eGPU paired with an old or low powered CPU may mean you dont get the full benefits of the eGPU as your CPU is still a bottleneck in running the software or games that would make use of the eGPU.
Then the eGPU chassis you choose will have specific limitations in terms of size of card that will fit. You need to check these carefully to ensure the chassis can fit and support the card you want. The bigger and better the chassis the more expensive it will be. Were talking a couple of hundred pounds / dollars on top of the card price.
But in theory there isn't a limit on the cards you can use. Any GPUs that fits the chassis would work as its a standard pcie slot. However i would contend that if you want to use a top end card like a 5090 youre better off getting an actual PC to enjoy the full performance. If youre spending 1000s on a GPU it should be paired with a high end laptop or far better in an actual desktop to get the benefit. You also need to ensure the chassis can provide enough power to the card you want.
You lose about 10-15% of the cards functionality in the overhead of the eGPU. Thats because as fast as thunderbolt and usb4 are, you are transfering that to/from a pcie slot in the eGPU chassis and also transferring data over an distance via a cable compared to a gpu plugged directly into pcie on a motherboard for a PC, with direct connection to the CPU and rest of the motherboard. Newer thunderbolt and newer chassis might have lower overheads but they will never be able to completely match direct plug into a motherboard.
So yes eGPUs work, if your device can support it, and you can get big performance boosts. There isn't a limit on the GPU but you should probably not go too high end as you'd be wasting money. A low end GPU would likely out perform any integrated card or graphics for most laptops and a mid range card would likely give excellent performance if paired with a decent specced laptop. But any eGPU set up cannot match the Max performance of the card in a dedicated desktop set up.
Edit: I know you have a surface but in case others read this and have a Mac - eGPUs wont work with Apples M1/M2 CPU chips. There is no way around this. AMD and Intel chips do although newer is better.
I'm using an ancient RX580 with my Razer TB3 enclosure and it works just fine for playing older games at 1080p. Not sure I would invest in an eGPU again though, it would only cost a small amount more to build a basic gaming rig from old parts that would outperform my setup with less hassle.
No, but if your concern is just that you personally want control over the model and you don't have to be able to operate it without an Internet connection and don't need high bandwidth to the thing being run, I would at least give consideration to sticking a regular GPU into a desktop that you control and using it remotely from your laptop. This is what I've done.
I just linked to a new eGPU above. I noticed that it was the "RTX 5090 Laptop GPU". Note that the (desktop) RTX 5090 and the RTX 5090 Laptop are not the same hardware; the former is a lot more power-hungry and performs better. It may be that a desktop GPU is available as an eGPU, but I'd be aware that there is a difference and you may not be getting what you are expecting.
At least the software that I've used is specifically designed to be used remotely -- like, you typically fire up a web browser and then talk to Automatic1111 or ComfyUI or KoboldAI or whatever. I've had no problems with that.
This is power-hungry. Even if you can carry the hardware with you, using it without a power outlet handy is probably going to be a little annoying.
It's probably going to have fans spun up on reasonable hardware. I'd just as soon have the fan noise and heat not right next to me.
While the desktop probably costs something, so does the eGPU.
At least some software -- depends upon what you want to do -- does a pretty good job of queuing up tasks and churning on it, which means that you can, remotely, just look at your output and then fire up more work and then put your laptop to sleep or whatever. That's not very useful if you want to run an interactive LLM-based chatbot or something, but ComfyUI can queue up a bunch of image-generation jobs with different prompts or something.
Now, all that being said, that does have some drawbacks.
It means a desktop, if you don't already have one (though really all it needs is that beefy GPU).
It means that your laptop has to have some form of Internet connectivity. I can comfortably use it on a tethered cell phone for what I do, but it's something to keep in mind.
I am sure that there is probably some sort of software out there where you really want the GPU to be local to where you are.
You can't also use your beefy GPU for 3D games on your laptop, if that's something that you want to do. I imagine that for some people, this is a major point.
You need some way to reach the desktop remotely over the Internet.
This is not to ding eGPUs -- they're a good option for certain use cases -- but just to encourage people to at least consider the "use desktop with desktop GPU remotely" approach if their main interest is in running AI stuff.
COVID-19 infection—even mild cases—can cause substantial long-term changes in the immune system that may be implicated in long COVID, concludes a new observational study by Medical University of Vienna (MUV) researchers published in Allergy.
Covid 19 always bringing us new and terrifying things. Thanks Trump for fucking us all over and allowing this to run rampant through our country. So far its killed my grandmother (not big lost there she was a horrible person who loved trump) and now my best friend after almost 5 years since he first got it. I even gotten it once and I was vaxxed three times (I made sure to get my boosters). But unfortunately I'm uninsured and unable to get a updated one now.
That's my rant but goddammit we about have RKJ in charge of America Healthcare and I fear this going get worse before the year is out.
Got very severe ME/CFS which is a subtype of long COVID.
This semi-personal page, written by the son of the leading stanford researcher on the illness, the son being severly ill with it himself, explains it well I think: whitneydafoe.com/mecfs/whatism…
A bridge isn't really necessary. Both Lemmy and Pixelfed use the same communication protocol. Lemmy just doesn't let you follow users, and PixelFed is a user-based, rather than group-based, program.
If you want to follow both groups and users, you should just use a site that's running software that supports that. Mbin, or nodeBB, or something.
They're sorta bridged in the sense that if you @ a lemmy community from other ActivityPub software it'll post to the community. It's the same protocol, though a different enough implementation that it acts a lot like a bridge. The first line acts as the title, then the rest of the post is the body.

It's funny how people think it we'll be over in 4 years. And even if it is what about the 4 after that or after that. America has just proven it is an unreliable partner again. The world should walk away. I mean it's crazy that China is more reliable at least you know who your dealing with.
I think it will be interesting to see what China does as this bullying continues. They’re already facing tariffs, so they don’t have much to lose by stepping in and picking up new trade partners as Trump pisses everyone off. Might hurt for awhile, but it was always going to. Trump could prove to be the best thing for China’s economy & global influence in the long run.
This was all theatre where nothing in reality changed, to show how tough and intransigent this admin wants to be: the real problem is that if formally and informally allied nations start to think that the USA would really commit to bullying as a real negotiation tactic, they will start to divest from it and expand their pool of partners to make these tactics less impactful.
This could be disastrous in the long run, with decades of integration and diplomacy going in smoke. But in the short term there will be a lot of "winning", as they keep saying. I guess.
The first Trump term was seen as a short term derailing. The second one has a complete different international impact.
Goodwill is a real diplomatic form of currency and it is getting burned at a real fast pace.
If the Trump Admin agreed not to transport people in handcuffs, that wouldn't be a capitulation, but rather what Petro wanted. Remember the Trump Admin is going to spin literally every outcome as "a victory" while talking shit about the other guy, regardless of the reality of any negotiation outcome.
I mean... he didn't ban the flights in the first place. He just declared he would not accept his countrymen being treated poorly on return. I think the objection was packing them all in military planes instead of normal commercial flights your average person travels. It had more to do with mistreatment of their citizens in the process of repatriation, which is valid.
Huh? What are you talking about? That's not a statement trusting Trump. The headline implies the flights were rejected. They weren't. Drink more coffee dude. It's Trump's propaganda that they were rejected.
After he got what he wanted from Trump, who capitulated immediately because the threat to tarrif Columbian imports was a bluff. Deliberately bumping the cost of coffee would be political suicide.
Tired of duckduckgo using MSN's amp thing for news or blocking some websites, and it's now adding shit AI too. Don't want to spend any money running a searxng instance for the time being and most public instances are too overwhelmed.
Any suggestions? Doesn't need to be perfect, just not too annoying.
The milestone highlights how DeepSeek has left a deep impression on Silicon Valley, upending widely held views about U.S. primacy in AI and the effectiveness of Washington's export controls targeting China's advanced chip and AI capabilities.
has prompted U.S. tech executives to question the effectiveness of tech export controls.
It worked well against Russia and the Soviet Union, but it's been my claim for years now, that this won't work against China anymore. Because China is way more advanced now than the Soviet Union ever was by comparison for the time. And all it does is delay China while they build their own competing supply industries. And the end result will be that China will just dominate the backbone industries too.
The difference is in raw power, China has 10 times the people Russia has, and an economy that in real value more than matches USA now. In short China has all the advantages for long term developments. Except for not being ahead on chip manufacturing already.
China is already competing at top level in almost all key industries, and has absolutely unparalleled manufacturing capacity. but also technologically they are in the top of EV, Batteries, solar panels, and 44 other technology areas.
all of the world’s top 10 leading research institutions are based in China and are collectively generating nine times more high-impact research papers than the second-ranked country (most often the US).”
Trying to hold back China is simply not a viable option anymore.
Year-long study finds China leads in 37 of 44 areas it tracked, with potential for a monopoly in areas such as nanoscale materials and synthetic biology
It's not just people, it's also that China invests heavily in the building blocks of effective industries. They're serious about education and healthcare as public services, they invest heavily in transit. You can't expect life to bloom in a desert, but the US keeps acting like stripping away everything necessary for industries to prosper will somehow make them prosper harder.
Requisite disclaimer; The CCP are an appalling autocracy with a litany of crimes against humanity to their name. Just because they do some things well doesn't make them worthy of admiration. Yes, I'm looking at you, .ml
I dont fundamentally disagree with you, but it should be pointed out that the USSR and its proxies in the Warsaw pact had about 0.4 billion people in 1980 to the PRC's 1 billion. So it wasnt anywhere near 10x the size. The important difference IMO is that china has opened up economically, whereas the USSR stayed closed, and are acting out Lenin's maxim of "the capitalists will sell us the rope to hang them".
I had heard that DeepSeek only took less than a hundredth of the power to train it, so it wasn't them getting their hands on a bunch of new chips or anything.
I assume they don’t care about the ownership of training data. So they can just train these things on all the pirated data they can get ahold of. Whereas US companies might have a slightly harder time with that.
So when are we gonna find out this is just like Amazon’s “AI” markets with no cashiers that was actually just image feeds sent to India to be processed by a low paying human?
The archive / mirror copy is actually a pleasant uncluttered read on a phone screen if you rotate to the horizontal. I talk only in practical terms, have not actually read due to other distraction.
You're not missing much. The author rambles for many, many paragraphs, and I don't use that word lightly. It reads like a college essay, where the goal is to produce an X-page paper, so they just cram as many quotes, attributions, and subjects as they can to pad the length.
It feels like they're trying to go for a Pulitzer, but it's just reactionary garbage that rambles on and on, jumping from topic to topic, taking quotes from scientists and philosophers from antiquity—as if their ideas were still valid today simply because they once existed. The author appears to have a lack of attention, methinks...
Also they appear to be an ADHD denialist, so fuck them.
What is doomscrolling if not avid reading? If people are failing to focus in some places, they’re clearly succeeding in others.
This is like saying channel surfing (flipping through Netflix or whatever videos but never picking one) is focus.
It continues:
One place they’re succeeding is cinema, which is in a baroque phase. A leading Golden Globe winner this year, “The Brutalist,” exceeds three and a half hours... Hollywood’s reliance on sequels and recycled intellectual property—we’re a hair’s breadth from a crossover in which Thor fights the Little Mermaid—may have been terrible for cinema. It has, however, made for complicated movies tightly packed with backstory and fan service.
Something being long doesn't indicate focus. I haven't seen The Brutalist, so I'll use other long movies as an example: Avatar, King Kong, and The Hobbit series. What do those have in common? It's not deep plot or complex character arcs, but action sequences. In other words, you could space out for 30 min and not miss anything.
Shorter movies require more attention and focus because they move faster, so you can't miss even 10 min (or even 5) or you'll have trouble keeping up.
As writers stopped worrying about viewers losing the thread, their shows started resembling ultra-long films. Viewers responded by binge-watching, taking in hours of material in what Vince Gilligan, who created “Breaking Bad,” has called “a giant inhalation.”
Newer shows are way less dense than they used to be. I just binged The Queen's Gambit and literally fell asleep for an entire episode and didn't feel like I missed anything. That show would've been much more interesting as a feature length film instead of a mini-series.
Or consider video games, which have grown mercilessly long.
Not because of content that requires focus, but collecting random stuff. There's actually less story and problem solving in many of these longer games than older point and click games had, and those weren't known for complexity...
But deep dives into niche topics have become the norm. The wildly popular podcaster Joe Rogan runs marathon interviews, some exceeding four hours, on ancient civilizations, cosmology, and mixed martial arts. A four-hour video of the YouTuber Jenny Nicholson dissecting the design flaws of a defunct Disney World hotel has eleven million views (deservedly: it’s terrific). Hayes himself confesses to spending hours “utterly transfixed” by watching old carpets being shampooed.
Something being long doesn't mean it requires focus.
In fact, the opposite is true. My most difficult textbook in college was something like 100-150 pages, and it took us the entire class to finish. What made it difficult was a complete lack of hand-holding, and it's perhaps my favorite pig of all the textbooks I had, and the only one I read cover to cover. It's something I can reference, so it's still useful years after mastering the material, but getting through it took an immense amount of focus.
Above all, they demand patience, the inclination to stick with things that aren’t immediately compelling or comprehensible. Patience is indeed a virtue, but a whiff of narcissism arises when commentators extoll it in others, like a husband praising an adoring wife. It places the responsibility for communication on listeners, giving speakers license to be overlong, unclear, or self-indulgent. When someone calls for audiences to be more patient, I instinctively think, Alternatively, you could be less boring.
This isn't narcissism, it's the definition of focus. It's about using your mental faculties to extract information, and it requires a lot of effort and patience. Watching a movie for a long time doesn't. If I want to learn something, I'd rather struggle for a few hours with an information dense text than watch a dozen hours of YouTube hand holding, and I'll get much more from the text than the video series.
Given this statement and the sheer length of and lack of information in the article, I think the author has a focus problem.
To ascribe our woes to a society-wide attention-deficit disorder is to make the wrong diagnosis.
Which is unfortunate, because our relationships to our smartphones are far from healthy.
Seems like the author rebutted his own argument, but fails to acknowledge it.
Don't gatekeep. It really depends on what you're reading, not where you're accessing it. A lot of the most popular books (trashy romance and self help books) require similar if not less focus vs quality online content.
That said, I think you're right it we're talking about average readers. That said, don't jump to conclusions, and instead ask what they like to read. Who knows, maybe you'll find something interesting. I wrote off graphic novels for years, and then I read one and it was quite good.
I used to read encyclopedias and instruction manuals for pleasure as a child. As an adult, I now read Wikipedia, tech white papers, and scientific journal articles. You absolutely can read for pleasure online. It’s not all garbage.
We are happy, very happy, that you have joined the light side of the force, but here you are preaching to the choir. Go knock on doors and help others see the light. Oh, and sending some money to one of the thousands of FOSS projects that keep this running would be nice too.
The ones that get the most imaginary points - Microsoft bad - Buntu bad - snaps bad - Arch btw - Wayland bad - Wayland good - Wayland bad again - Wayland good again - Use Mint because windows - Don't use Mint because windows - Gnome bad can't customise - Gnome rice threads - KDE good because can customise - KDE bad because customisation causes bugs - Tux kart
What's wrong with people being happy and announcing their switch? Its not exclusive, we can preach on other places AND announce our happiness in these communities. We can have both.
I don't mind people sharing their feelings about their switch, joy as well as frustration. And if I did, I would not read them... exactly like I don't read political topics ;)
If you want to bring more people to Linux, preaching is really not a good way to do that. We are not a religion, we are not a cult. We are an enthousiastic bunch or nerds 😀
Avoid behind judgemental of people that use Windows, Mac or other proprietary software. Do not talk about Linux in length when it was not solicited.
Instead, you can show how enthusiastic you are about all the cool things you are doing with your computer that happens to be running Linux!
When people around you, do make the choice to switch, of their own will, then offer your help with all the patience and understanding you have.
Switching to Ubuntu from Windows is the most controversial thing I've ever done. I don't even talk about it very much, but some of my friends preemptively make passive aggressive comments about it if the subject of OSs come up and jump on any opportunity they find to make a case for Linux being less convenient than Windows. I haven't felt this way since I tried vegetarianism.
All that's to say I'm pretty wary of "helping others see the light." There's more than apathy out there and some people feel threatened by the idea of someone else taking steps to rid themselves of their dependence on Microsoft and the like.
Основной момент — использование партнёрских программ Telegram для поиска уязвимостей, создание стартапа и эксперименты с криптовалютой TON. Далее поднимаются вопросы о манипуляциях с ликвидностью в криптопроектах, таких как MAJOR, а также о системе "памп и дамп". В видео также обсуждаются массовые разблокировки TON до 2026 года и их влияние на рынок.
Таймкоды дают четкое представление о развитии событий: 1. 00:00 - Вступление и Новогоднее приветствие. 2. 01:50 - История возникновения криптоэксперимента. 3. 02:54 - Эксперимент с короткими позициями по TON. 4. 04:30 - Как был найден абуз в Telegram. 5. 09:50 - Идея и реализация "Бич-стартапа". 6. 12:08 - Создание токена $GOVNO. 7. 17:00 - Манипуляции с ликвидностью в проекте MAJOR и другие разоблачения. 8. 19:43 - Влияние синтетических токенов и проблемы с ценой TON. 9. 33:23 - Итоги "Бич-стартапа" и текущий баланс в $33 млн.
Видео в целом служит предупреждением о нестабильности криптовалютного рынка и рисках участия в подобных проектах.
That's news to me. Spent a lot of time in the pagan community when I was young and stupid. Never heard it ever being regarded as a derogatory term. Most pagans I knew wore it as a badge of honour.
Being in the UK, I associate Celtic culture as being primarily Scottish, Irish or Welsh. Although the term "Celt" does date much further back than modern Celtic traditions.
The Celts originally occupied the Iberian peninsula, Gaul, Germania, Ireland, and Britain. What we know of the Celts comes primarily from the Romans, since the Celts didn't have a written language. What little bits of writing remain from the Celts was near the early Roman Empire, and in vulgar Latin.
Of course, the Romans ultimately conquered a lot of those areas, into Britain up to about Hadrian's Wall. I believe they semi-conquered Cornwall and Wales, to the extent that they "ruled" those areas, but still left them generally to their own devices. Only Wales really retained its relative independence, as is evidenced by the fact that Welsh still exists, while Cornish is barely holding on after having become extinct and then revived.
The reason I compared "pagan" to "hillbilly" and "redneck" is because plenty of people wear those names with pride, too, even while many other people continue to use them in derogatory ways.
Yeah, I don't think so either. For lots of creators, YouTube is about earning money with ad revenue with their videos. And the audience comes to watch their videos. So unless we introduce lots of ads to PeerTube and pay the creators, it won't become an alternative to Youtube (in specific).
I think Peertube will stay it's own thing and not become a clone of Youtube. And as such it'll always target a different audience and have different content available. So it can't really become an "alternative".
Sure. I just think at that point it's no longer a "alternative to YouTube" since YT works a certain way and this changes quite a lot about the dynamics. It'd be more an alternative to something else, just not YouTube.
That's fair, but the number one complaint about YouTube is the ads, and I do think content creators deserve to be compensated for their time. Perhaps a way within Peertube to donate to the creator?
Yeah, PeerTube already has that. Everyone can add their info about sponsoring and it'll show up. I also think this is the correct path towards a good video platform. I don't think Framasoft wants to become a payment provider and hire lots of people to handle money, disputes and legal stuff, so this is the next best thing they can do... Just let the creators upload their patreon, ko-fi, buymeabeer or IBAN number, whatever they like. And all of this is already there for quite some time now.
Yeah, I wouldn't want to do payment processing either. Thanks for the information though, as I haven't really used Peertube since I don't use YouTube much.
I guess you're right. Reportedly, ad revenue is getting worse all the time. I've tried finding some recent numbers from some channel but seems very few of them make their income transparent. I know one or two, but they don't do sponsoring in the usual way... But I guess it's true and lots of channels rely on sponsorships and Patreon these days. From what I read. That would certainly make it easier to switch to a platform that doesn't have ads in the first place. I kind of missed that. That'd mean it's down to the network effect. But I'd like to see some exact numbers. Ultimately, we'd need to cater for a lot of different creators, from Mark Rober to Kurzgesagt to someone doing it for fun. And ad revenue would have to be really bad, because lots of the popular and big youtubers earn their livelihood on the video platform. And even a paycut of like 20% might be unacceptable to them...
I think this is a really good point. If we now get the Fediverse bigger, and regular people start to have accounts on federated and interconnected platforms, we'd be okay without advertisements and invading privacy, if that's not the predominant business model anyway.
If you're an organization looking for a platform in which to publish your videos so that they can be spread in your newsletter/social media and embedded on your website, it's probably a very good alternative.
If you're a content creator who runs on donations and has a dedicated following already, it might be good. And as the fediverse grows, it will only get better.
For a lot of the content creators who live off engagement and clicks, it's much less likely to become a viable alternative. The kind of content people will watch for hours, but that nobody would ever consider paying for.
I think it's not about one platform replacing all of YouTube, but about providing viable alternatives for specific uses.
Do you happen to know anyone who disclose their income, and does both sponsorships and Adsense? I've tried looking it up but either it's old articles or the people are more tied to their community and don't really do sponsorings in the first place. I'd be interested to read some numbers... Ideally including all possible sources like advertisements, paid sponsoring and community donations.
Ah, I came here to ask that question... If this is finally the version with log-in.... It isn't.
We have to be patient then. They've promised to add it. And Framasoft usually follows up on their promises. But looking at the commit log on the project page, they dont seem to be actively working on the Android app. It's mostly noise, translations and dependency updates there. Nothing that'd indicate someone is working on adding features. So it could take some time.
But you're not the only person waiting for this to be added.
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
They've fixed it now by the way, after someone contacted them about it. 😀
I think it's cool that someone who knows nothing about Mastodon is even writing about this. Though I would wish journalists had the time to double check just a little bit more.
Loops and Pixelfed I know. As I had no interest in Instagram and TikTok, I never tried them, but I get their purpose. But what is Sup? Why would I want my messaging app linked to the Fediverse?
I think (!) the idea is that I could text you using your fediverse handle, and that it could somehow become integrated in other fediverse services.
It makes sense through the following storyline:
Dansup creates Pixelfed
People start texting each other using direct messages on Pixelfed, making Dansup uncomfortable as it is not at all encrypted
Dansup creates sup to provide integrated E2EE direct messaging in Pixelfed/associated platforms
I have no idea if it'll be good or if it'll be used. I struggle enough to get people on Signal. But if it can somehow provide E2EE while benefiting from the social graph of ActivityPub, it might not be the dumbest thing ever.
That means I could write from @zloubida@lemmy.world to @aasatru@kbin.earth using Sup? That would be cool indeed. But if I have to create a Sup account, not so much.
Hey guys! Has anyone had success migrating a Plex server from Windows to Linux in recent years? I'm mostly concerned about losing watch history / users (having to reinvite).
I found this Reddit thread on the issue and it seemed like a simple copy and paste of the DB file. I attempted following both the official directions from their guide and from the Reddit post and ran into a SQLite DB error. It was similar to what another user experienced in the Reddit thread:
soci::soci_error() that sqlite3 prepare failed..Error: Unable to set up server: sqlite3_statement_backend::prepare: file is not a database for SQL: PRAGMA cache_size=512 (N4soci10soci_errorE)
Has anyone done a migration in the recent years? Seems like something might have changed within the last few and this copy and paste of the DB file will not work anymore?
Proton VPN executives and engineers tirelessly work to outmaneuver internet firewalls in Russia, Venezuela and China in a digital war for a free and open internet.
Proton's CEO Andy Yen, praised Trump on Twitter, and the company doubled-down in support of the Republicans and JD Vance. Here's why ditching "Swiss Neutrality" is a big problem for privacy.
Firstly, the proton CEO took the position of supporting Trump by saying that "they are standing up for little people". Saying that reps are good supporters of antitrust laws.
Secondly, the official proton account replied to his post and agreed on the fact that reps are more likely to defeat big corps against monopoly. They deleted their post later. (The proton official post)
So since then we cannot stand in a corp that is promoting these people. That's why I asked about riseUP
He doesn't have to be incorrect in order for people to feel betrayed by his comments. The commenter was answering the question of why people felt betrayed. Demonstrating the incorrectness of the CEO's take is out of scope.
(Although, he definitely is also incorrect. Republicans love corporations and monopolies even more than Democrats do. They're slightly more nationalistic about it though, which is the only reason they ever make noises to oppose corporations that aren't sufficiently US-owned.)
The comment from anonymous implied that there was no real betrayal. Just because someone fights for digital privacy does not mean he's on the same side for other topics. Feeling betrayed and actually being betrayed are not the same thing.
Many feel betrayed because he (partially at least) politically aligns with someone (and something) they loathe intensely. The feeling of betrayal probably comes from an implied idea that because they align on the issue of digital privacy they naturally do so in other aspects, and with the comments made by the CEO that idea is burst and someone who once felt familiar is now foreign.
"Betrayal" might be a wrong word for it, but I find this disappointing because the current events are the reason I have tried using Proton instead of Gmail. A tweet wont ruin the functionality of Proton, but it goes against my personal rationale for making the switch.
Personally I've been using Tutanota and bitwarden happily. I guess it kinda depends on what you're looking for alternatives to, I don't know if anyone else offers as comprehensive of a complete suite of stuff
Nothing in that article suggests Proton doesn't care about privacy. Every country has laws that must be abided by. Their verbage on not logging IPs was misleading but not inaccurate as they weren't until ordered to by law. At that point the law was able to find the person because of lack of opsec on the perp's part.
Besides that, to my knowledge all of Proton is open source and encrypted. It has been audited and proven to be secure.
Quit letting politics ruin our collective privacy by suggesting to people that Proton is now an evil company. They support Trump because they think his business policies will benefit their company. True or false as that may be their company is still great for privacy and we shouldn't be infighting about that.
Proton has a business model where they want the user to put their eggs all in one basket. If you want that kind of userbase you need to leave your personal politics out of it. The problem isn't that the CEO is right wing. It's that he is very publicly right wing. Supports a known huckster. And lastly could be vying for a role in the administration. All of this calls into question just for how long Proton will be secure before they are selling user info to the state.
Politics are very fucking important in terms of security for whistleblowers and dissidents. They are the canaries in the coalmine as far as personal liberties go.
Quit letting politics ruin our collective ability to drive by suggesting to people that Volkswagen is now an evil company. They support Hitler because they think his business policies will benefit their company. True or false as that may be their company is still great at making cars and we shouldn't be infighting about that.
Unless I'm missing something, didn't Yen just praise 🍄's pick for antitrust AG? I forget her name, but her Wikipedia page didn't make her sound all that great, so I'm not sure what exactly he was praising her for. If that's all it is (and it might not be!) that hardly sounds like a betrayal.
Making a dumb tweet doesn't make you a fascist and doesn't invalidate the years of hard work people put into a non-profit swiss company, you should get over yourself.
The tweet he commented on was indeed a nice idea, but a CEO should have more foresight that the things Trump stated in it would not be true. When you look at it now, it looks like it was more or less a threat that led to a closer relationship between "tech bros" and the current administration instead of the "take down" of them.
I want to share a deeply concerning story that highlights the critical importance of online privacy, especially for activists and those who speak out against authority. The death of John Lang, a well-known figure in the Fresno activist community, raises serious questions about surveillance, privacy, and the potential consequences of being targeted by law enforcement.
John was found stabbed inside a burning home, and what’s particularly alarming is that just days before his death, he expressed fears that Fresno law enforcement was stalking him and might end his life. He had been vocal about his experiences with police harassment, including a disturbing pattern of unethical practices by Fresno law enforcement, such as scanning license plates in retail parking lots to generate revenue.
In his efforts to protest these injustices, John posted his thoughts on the Fresno Bee, believing he was doing so anonymously. However, it later came to light that an employee at the Fresno Bee was sharing identifiable information (IP addresses) with law enforcement, leading to John being targeted. This tragic situation serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities we face when we do not take proper precautions to protect our online privacy.
John’s case illustrates the dangers of not using tools like VPNs or Tor for online activism. Had he utilized these privacy measures, he might have been able to shield his identity from those who sought to silence him.
This tragic story serves as a cautionary tale about the risks of online exposure for activists. We must learn from John’s experience and recognize the importance of safeguarding our privacy in an increasingly surveilled world.
From: Activist Predicts Death, Says The Cops Killed Him | Fresno People's Media Posted By: Dylan Donnelly January 26, 2016 The man who was found stabbed inside a burning home in Fresno last week is confirmed to be John Lang, a frequent poster in…
For not getting stabbed and left in a burning building by people who didn't like what you said online. There are a lot of people both in and out of power who are highly motivated to find and punish left-wing people, and I suspect that their numbers and the tools at their disposal are going to be steadily increasing for the next few years.
I hate to +1 but yeah, this. get familiar with Tor. learn what it can do and when to use it. play around with hosting .onion sites to distribute information safely. use orbot on your phone similarly.
some distributed messaging apps like briar use Tor as their internet transport mechanism, so... why not go all in and really learn to use Tor for real. now. while is easier to do so.

His writings sound like that of someone suffering from paranoid delusions. We'd have to take every claim he makes about the news site feeding info to law enforcement, the gps trackers, the FBI being in on it, the undercover cops tailing him, AT&T being in on it at face value. He's seeing patterns where there are none.
Apparently all this started during a messy divorce. Our minds can do funny things under stress, like deluding ourselves into a persecution complex and making everything fit that, rather than having to deal with an uglier truth.
maybe you missed the part where Fresno PD pulled up to his house with a vehicle mounted thermal imaging device (its in the photos and last video) to see through his walls to make sure he wasn't home.

Full disclosure on Friday night my brother chill-left showed me this conversation and I believe it is worth sharing.
"Teia Rabishu" has been the top mod of antiwork since the massive scandal of a moderator appearing on Tucker Carlson who spoke about their part time job as a dogwalker. She appears not to understand the concept of the Overton window. Her defense of the decision to ban, "Platforms affiliated with the CCP, such as TikTok and Rednote, because China is a hostile foreign government and these platforms constitute information warfare." despite the opposition of the moderators and users of the sub is suspicious, unethical, and totalitarian. In typical "dictator fashion", her entire stance seems to be "china bad" and she constantly argues via logical fallacies. Not only this but, "Caledric" from the beginning of being a moderator for antiwork openly admits to working for US intelligence and expresses sympathy as well as agreement to their ideological framing and conclusions. "Teia" defends and supports "Caledric" as well as upholds the ideological anti-communism and red scare propaganda which led to this entire debacle.
This document and photos where leaked by u/chill-left before he was banned from the anti-work subreddit. He was a moderator dissenting within their internal communication discord. The supposed reason for his ban was calling for democratic elections to replace the head moderator of the antiwork subreddit. As well as disagreeing with "Teia Rabishu".
Please share this with any interested individuals or parties, especially anyone associated with antiwork.

Last night an AMA started on Reddit claiming: “Hi, I’m Rushan Abbas. I’m one of the Uyghur People of central Asia, and the Chinese Government has locked up many of my friends and relatives in…
I'm self studying for a server+ cert and ran into this paragraph. Am I right that CPU time is a set of ticks utilized, the CPU Capacity is the total capacity, and the CPU usage is the percentage of ticks:capacity?
I have been making notes from this chapter, and the more I get into it the more I seem to find things like this that seem slightly off.
Does anyone have a physical copy of the 2ed McMillan CompTia Server+ study guide I can compare against? I feel like someone is messing with me.
