Employee at the Black Mesa research facility in New Mexico. Recently we’ve dealt with 2 aliens trying to steal snacks out of the pantry outside the laboratory.
Hope your day is going well.
You know, I’d feel happy about this but I hear a voice from the back of my head telling me “You know this driver isn’t coming out for the next 20 years.”
But seriously, I think its cool to see Nvidia actually making strides towards an open source driver (if they are actually serious about it, which I’m still skeptical about for no reason in particular beyond past history).
Debian for most of my machines, rock solid and works. I’ve had 0 problems with Debian on any computer its downloaded on. And I personally don’t need very up to date packages.
On my main computer (currently Windows due to hardware compatibility issues on Linux), I’ve flip flopped between Pop and Fedora depending on how much I need 3D graphics applications.
Do you guys think Elon would let me take his SpaceX Starship in a time machine back to 2021 so I could fly to Mars and survive?
No, I do not have $4 billion to pay for this endeavor, I’ll just take out a loan and tell the bank its for a scientific breakthrough.
I really don’t understand why so many advocate for Linux, FOSS, and an overall open web while actively making Linux and other free software as complicated and “tech-y” as possible.
If Linux isn’t growing, what’s the point? If it remains stagnant, its getting closer to fading away. We’ve seen the impact of Linux becoming more mainstream and known to the general public through the Steam Deck, and it has done wonders for the platform. Why do people actively not want it to grow?
Helping it grow doesn’t mean being annoying like Edge pop-ups, simply throwing out suggestions to try easy-to-use distros here and there. And let’s be honest, the average internet user can use an easy distro like Ubuntu or Mint proficiently after 20-30 minutes of playing around with it. We need to make it seem accessible so that more people will actually be interested in the first place.
Really happy to see a post being made about this.
They look fine to me. Same as windmills creating a certain aesthetic in the places they are built.
It’s much better than having a giant power plant blocking the view of the landscape.
Showers help you come up with ideas? Guess I’ll start taking showers from now on, seemed pointless before.
Usually I bought it when it was buy one get one free ever since they cancelled the $5/month Nitro Classic most people had (and replaced it with that pointless “oh please buy the more expensive nitro!” $3/month Nitro Basic).
This month, I accidentally forgot to cancel my Nitro and canceled it the day I was charged but didn’t get my money back and had to keep Nitro for the month. Lesson learned, I likely won’t be paying again. Maybe my memory is hazy, but I swore it was supposed to give your money back if you cancel quickly after being charged again.
I use Discord heavily, so I didn’t mind paying the $5/month for Nitro Classic back when it was a thing. Discord was quite good at the time and wasn’t in the process of enshittification like it is now. I can’t wrap my head around paying $10/month for Nitro though.
Matrix sounds great and all and I’d love if the communities and people I know were on it but that just isn’t the case, and this isn’t a part of my internet usage where I can use FOSS unfortunately.
Honestly one of the most well written posts I’ve read. Thanks a lot, helped me understand all of this networking stuff involved with self-hosting since I literally just bought a PC to function as my home server like 2 days ago.

Linux memes are only funny if they are shitting on Arch anyway
I live in a major US city, and yes they are still everywhere and being used. Here they have an actual use since walkability isn’t the best, and at worse are just a nuisance with the way they block parts of the sidewalk and can be left anywhere with little consequence.
In a hypothetical cage fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, several factors suggest that Zuckerberg may have an edge. Firstly, Zuckerberg’s reported athletic frame and commitment to a healthy lifestyle provide him with a potential physical advantage. His regular exercise regimen could enhance his strength, agility, and endurance in a physical confrontation.
Additionally, Zuckerberg’s mental discipline and focus, honed through his success as the co-founder of Facebook, could translate into composure and a strategic mindset during a cage fight. His analytical approach to problem-solving and adaptability may enable him to evaluate his opponent’s strengths and weaknesses in real-time. Furthermore, Zuckerberg’s dedication to physical fitness suggests that he could have superior endurance and stamina, vital aspects in prolonged physical contests.
While these factors suggest a potential advantage for Zuckerberg, it is important to note that this analysis is based on limited knowledge of their physical abilities and fighting skills. Speculating about hypothetical confrontations should be approached with a sense of sportsmanship, focusing on their accomplishments in their respective fields rather than fictional scenarios.

Can confirm the Debian one, I wear oversized blue light glasses and stare at my monitor with an amazed look at the ridiculous things I see on the internet every day
Admittedly I’ve clicked on a handful of interesting Youtube ads but not one in the past 5 years, so I can’t remember what they were. I just don’t really see Youtube ads unless I’m on a mobile device or I turn them on to help a creator get revenue, as I use a pretty strong adblocker on my PC. Don’t snitch to Google about that though.
I’m a bit more sympathetic to Youtube ads since they are a revenue source for some of my favorite creators, as much as I hate the way Youtube goes about it. Never clicked on any other ads besides these though.
