My university is practically owned by weapons manufacturers which sucks. Idk if that’s the norm or not

I know TI had a history of weapons manufacturing, but haven’t they stopped now?

Since you’re logged into your account you already have one

Well at least the .world news community has another bias checker their bot can source from

Nothing, I suck at sleeping and now I gave up and am browsing Lemmy

50501.chat blocked lemmy.ml, but who cares

Oops, although terabyte is 1000 GB, 1024 GiB is tebibyte

I host my main server on my own hardware, and a VPN on Hetzner because my shitty ISP doesn’t let me port forward. For the past year, bots were hitting my Forgejo instance hard. I forgot to disable registration and they generated hundreds of accounts with hundreds of repos with sketchy links, generating terrabytes of traffic from my VPS, costing me money in traffic. I disabled registration and deleted the spam, and bots still kept hitting my server for several months, which would cause memory leaks over time and crash it and consume CPU, and still costed me money with terrabytes of traffic per month. A few weeks ago, I put Anubis on the VPS. Now, zero bots hit my Forgejo instance and I don’t pay for their traffic anymore. Problem solved.

As shitty as AI is for counseling, the alternative resources are so few, unreliable, and taboo that I can’t blame people for wanting to use it. People will judge and remember you. AI affirms and forgets. People have mandatory reporting for “self harm” (which could include things like drug usage) that incarcerates you and fucks up your life even more. AI does not. People are varied with differing advice, while AI uses the same models in different contexts. Counselors are expensive, AI is $20/mo. And lastly, people have a tendency to react fearfully to taboo topics in ways that AI doesn’t. I see a lot of outrage towards AI, but it seems like the sort of outrage that led to half-assed liability-driven “call this number and all of your problems will be solved” incarceration and abandonment hotlines is what got us here to begin with.

I ended up with the opportunity to get a MS CS for $20k debt and even that doesn’t seem worth it at this point (the university does not have assistantships for MS students)

Now I want to hold my devices longer so the economy destroys even faster

How well does this work?

I daily drive it on a MacBook M1 Air, and it works decently for what I do with it with very rare compatibility issues, which is mostly programming, messaging, and web usage. Performance is much better than macOS, but battery life is worse.

Still missing some basic hardware features such as USB-HDMI (which I don’t need since I use Niri) and for some reason playing audio uses a lot of CPU, so not sure if I didn’t set something up correctly or if it is an Asahi Linux problem.

I think it also supports x86_64 emulation (demonstrated with Steam), but I’ve never tried it. Or maybe they were just demonstrating the GPU driver implementations.

DAB + ListenBrainz looks so awesome

Well Android doesn’t use a mainline Linux kernel and instead adds a bunch of hacks that break compatibility with some core Linux programs, so it’s not pure in that sense either

The switch to permissive licensing is terrible for end-user software freedom given that corporations like Apple and Sony have leeched off of FreeBSD in the past to make their proprietary locked-down OSes that took over the market. Not sure what would happen if RedoxOS became usable in production, but if it turns out to function better than Linux enough to motivate corporations to shift their focus to it, open source versions for servers would probably still exist, but hardware compatibility on end-user devices would be at higher risk than before as vendors switch their support and stop open sourcing stuff. Or they keep focusing on Linux for server stuff due to the GPL license and the fact that their infrastructure is already on it.

Doesn’t it run an Android kernel?

Yes this is the video I watched lol. Also I use powder detergent

I use a dishwasher, but half of the dishes either don’t get cleaned or aren’t dishwasher safe so I have to wash by hand. I tried cleaning the filter, using detergent in the prewash, and running the water until it’s hot before starting the dishwasher, and none of it did shit.

As much as there’s ads on everything, using it on safety features would be grounds for a lawsuit

I have all of my open source apps in my main profile, a Shelter profile for proprietary apps (which I hardly use nowadays), a user profile for apps needed for my university, and another user profile for apps needed for a certain gig I’ve been involved with
