  • A new ‘solution’ to student homelessness: a parking lot where students can sleep safely in their cars

    Jump

  • The american dream is still alive: enterprising young men can pull themselves up by the bootstraps, purchase an abandoned lot with their inheritance, and turn it into an affordable housing lot for struggling college students!

    And after a few years, they can have a flashy exit when they sell their lot to a private equity firm for big bucks!

  • 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.

  • Ublock has a feature to disable javascript by default. There's no better way to use the internet in 2025

  • That probably won't work. It will get basic video and maybe audio through, but not features like VRR, which is why you'd care about HDMI 2.1 support at all

  • Linux traffic has grown 22.4% in PH this year

    Jump

  • Wrong. If that were true, it wouldn't have suddenly gone up 22% this past year.

    ...I wonder, did something happen recently that might have led to an influx of incels/cucks/betas into the chad Linux community?

  • Arduino Uno Q Review: The board with two brains

    Jump

  • Please build AI shit on our patent-laden technologies. Look: we bought Arduino so you kind of have to now if you're an Arduino user!!1

    Qualcomm's pitch in a nutshell

  • You can contribute to an open-source keyboard by glide typing

    Jump

  • I actually have no idea, but whenever he pops up I see people bring out the vaguely pointed pitchforks. I figured I'd point that out to avoid those people derailing the discussion.

  • I don't agree with OSI either, and think their licenses are exploitative. But their definition is useful to call out orgs like FUTO.

    The solution to devs being exploited by big tech is the GPL or AGPL, not whatever FUTO is doing. They're trying to have their cake and eat it too: earn the goodwill that comes from claiming you're open source, while keeping the same restrictions in place you'd see in a commercial software package, which keep users locked down to one vendor (aka "free beer" rather than "freedom")

    This isn't a new idea invented by FUTO, it's called "source available". Gitlab is another example of this, as is Unreal Engine, and many others.

  • Ruby Is Not a Serious Programming Language

    Jump

  • Not being the language for programming beginners and data scientists, probably aides that impression, though…

    I think it was that back when it was relevant (but replace data scientists with web devs)

    I never got interested in the ecosystem myself, but I've run into it every now and then. I feel like it's in the same place as PHP today: still used a lot for legacy reasons, but you'll get weird looks if you start a new project with it and you're under the age of 40

  • Trains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image

    Jump

  • A BBC journalist ran the image through an AI chatbot which identified key spots that may have been manipulated.

    This is terrifying. Does the BBC not have anyone on the team that understands why this does not, and will never work?

  • How do you sleep at night? Please respond with a number

    Jump

  • Damn, good catch. The others are all slightly different too

  • 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced

    Jump

  • Just use a throwaway email. The point of the account is to sync your watch history and (most importantly), your plugins/configs, which are what do the piracy stuff for you.

  • Wireguard, or even just jellyfin with a password

  • Where's the best point to jump into modern Resident Evil?

    Jump

  • Don't worry about the story. They're all pretty much disconnected, and it's better to think of them as standalone stories with a shared (but ultimately inconsequential) universe.

    If you haven't played the RE 2 remake, start there. It's IMO the best resident evil game of all time. I have a ton of nostalgia for OG RE1, but this remake is spectacular.

    I beat both 7 and 8 but forgot the story, so there ya go. IIRC, 8 is a sequel to 7, with the same main character, so it might be smart to play 7 first. Both are great, but it'll take a bit to get settled in with the first person view.

  • Elon Musk said the EU "should be abolished" after his social network X was fined

    Jump

  • It’s about democracy and sovereignty. Let’s say a EU member internationally votes 51% in favor of implementing socialism. Because of the EU membership, it would not be possible to implement due to regulations outside of a single country’s control, and EU is famously very capitalistic in general.

    Not always getting what you want sometimes is democracy though. The alternative is not getting what you want ever, because the government exists to serve the interests of a certain group that most likely doesn't include you.

    If it wasn't for the constitution, Texas and Florida would probably hold an election to bring back human slavery, then call it "democratic and sovereign" because they got enough votes from the evil fucks that live there.

  • What downsides are there to EU membership? Asking as an ignorant American

  • Is not you. I'm just lazy.

  • Mint us absolutely perfect for folks like me. I want to use my computer, not work on it.

    I know you're not going to believe me, because you sound like the type of person who is "set in their ways", but the only thing that makes Mint better for you than some other distro is that it happens to already be installed on your computer. That's it. Mint is not the perfect choice for anyone, because it's not particularly good at anything.

    Keep using it. If it works for you, great. I don't care what you use. But we shouldn't be misleading people new to Linux into installing a distro that might not work for them.

  • Are monorepos really simpler?

    Jump

  • Version control tooling is still at its “blackberry” stage anyway.

    That was uncalled for.

  • Are monorepos really simpler?

    Jump

  • google does a lot of things that just aren’t realistic for the large majority of cases

    Yes, but that is not relevant. The person they replied to said a monorepo doesn't scale. Google (and others) prove that it does scale to at least their massive size.
