@Itsfoss Because like every other institution they've been bought off and corrupted. We've known for over a decade that all the OSes have backdoors at the kernel level for Western intelligence.

I find it frustrating that none of these "guardians" of Linux and open source have reacted to the OS-level age verification law: - Linux Foundation - Open Source Initiative - Free Software Foundation - Software Freedom Conservancy

@Grummz I pick option #3. Most devs are using AI in some capacity. They just aren't telling anyone because of all the crazed haters. Hell, I bet everyone megamad about it use it daily. Google something. If you read that summary at the top. Bam, you're an AI user.

Is there a right way to do AI in games? One studio thinks so. AI created jobs at their studio. The final result is all human art.

@plumj_am @IroncladDev It will lead to real ID. That's the end goal. Total surveillance state requires it.

@IroncladDev Why? This doesn’t change anything right now and I imagine all alternatives will (need to?) do the same eventually…

I'm moving off systemd what are y'all's recommendations for alternatives?

@GreatPlainsGOP @m12345aw @RealPData Fool. Dems already cheated on the census, and since they got away w/ it they will lock it in by giving all the illegals amnesty after flooding the country with 20 million after they take everything in 2028. Then they pack the courts, fillibuster gone The GOP won't be able to win

@aidenpryde @m12345aw @RealPData Followed by Republicans sweeping in 2030 because that’s how politics work.

What’s even more noteworthy is candidates that back the Iran strikes get a significant boost in support, while people that were more aligned with Carson and Kelly actually would see a massive DECREASE in support.

@m12345aw @RealPData You in November 2026 and November 2028 because you bought push polls that have been inaccurate for 10 years:

@aidenpryde @RealPData Keep dooming but Trump's approval is higher than Obama's at this point. Congressional generic ballot is 1/3rd what it was in 2018. (And there is actually more good news. In the same NBC News poll that showed that 100% support, the amount of people in MAGA GREW from 28% to 30%).

@vibeonX69 Then every single Linux distro adopts age verification, which turns into Real ID and the government knows what you're doing on your devices at all times.

Do you agree with this? -First you fear Linux -then you love Linux -then you can’t leave Linux.

@m12345aw @RealPData It's already over. The reason you're seeing polls like this and CNN 100% approval is that MAGA has shrunk. It's back to 60 million, and that's the size of Romney's coalition in '12. Prepare for 10 years of darkness as Democrats run the table b/c GOP catered to a dying demo.

@aidenpryde @RealPData So what do you propose we do right now? Pander to the youth who statistically vote far less than boomers and gen x and then lose every election? It's far from ideal, but sadly we don't live in an ideal world.

I’m compiling together a list of which Open Source Operating Systems (Linux, BSD, etc.) do (or do not) plan to comply with new Age Verification laws. I need to track these for the purpose of reporting on the story, and I figured others would find having a list handy as well. If you’d like to contribute, feel free. Will be adding to the list as more systems are confirmed as either implementing or opposing Age Verification. github.com/BryanLunduke/D…

@juliecbarrett The deep state is going to get rid of online anonymity. That's what this is about. They know the younger people are rejecting them, so they are going to turn persecution up to the max on dissidents. Reminder; the Founding Fathers used pen names to write against the Crown.

🚨America's newest Digital ID proposal just dropped in the US Senate. Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn has introduced a new AI bill that bundles 17 different policies into one massive, 291 page bill. This is just like all these other tech bills we've been seeing - a massive Digital ID framework - with universal age verification being the key to access to the tools. The bill includes mandatory age verification for every existing account and freezing accounts until users verify their age.

@UnraidOfficial I'm a bit confused as to how the install on internal drives is going to work. Specifically about binding the license to the TPM chip. What if a motherboard fails or we need to move to a new server?

Unraid 7.3.0 is rolling out into public beta TODAY! 🚀 💾 Boot directly from an internal NVMe or SSD! 🛡️ Anchor your license to your motherboard and remove the flash drive entirely. 📊 ZFS ARC sizing in the WebGUI. ⚡ File Manager performance boosts. unraid.net/blog/unraid-7-…

@m12345aw @RealPData Ask yourself one simple question. What are Boomers currently doing? They are aging out of this mortal coil. Any political party catering to them is on borrowed time. The GOP could have built a coalition that lasted 30 years like Democrats did in the 1930s.

@RealPData People forget that a lot of Trump voters also voted for Bush Jr, McCain and Romney. It's only really among Millennials and Gen Z where pipelines like Hillary-Biden-Trump or Bernie-Bernie-Trump are seen, and even then, a lot of young voters in 2024 were voting for the first time.

@LundukeJournal Bootlickers. They could bring the entire business community down on top of these politician's heads if they simply IP banned the State. The turnaround if that happened would give them whiplash.

Moderators of the r/Linux subreddit are now censoring posts which talk about Age Verification. Not only are posts being removed, but I’ve heard from multiple Reddit users who have been banned from r/Linux for expressing opposition to Age Verification.

@RazorwireRPG I expected Bethesda's take on Mass Effect w/ aliens and interesting cultures and people to meet, but because of Pagliarulo who runs their narrative department who thinks players don't like complex story we got a sloppy Fallout 4 in space.

No single image of Starfield better illustrates how toothless, gutless, lacking in grit and texture than this one does. I made the mistake of visiting Neon late in my playthrough, excited about the idea of visiting a sleazy Cyberpunk planet. What I found was a clown show. There is something hollow and sad about the entirety of Starfield's worldbuilding and lore, that I can't even bring myself to be mad about - I'm just disappointed. This doesn't feel like a universe comprised of competing factions and people, it feels like a bunch of empty mannequins shooting at each other over nothing. Everything feels so dumbed down and family friendly. All the edges filed off to make everything palatable and bland. It's sad.

@Grummz My question is why are they focused so much on "enhancing the graphics." NPCs are still hard coded and running off of the CPU. The promised land for me is a local LLMs running the NPCs. They respond to what you are doing, the world events, etc in real time.

Every AI company should be optimizing for speed of inference. It’s the difference between at 10fps game and a 60fps game. The same game feels horrible at 10 and amazing at 60. It’s not just a quality be degrees situation, it’s transformative. The same model feels 100x smarter and can get more done with realtime inference.

@AatishKapoort @BowesChay If it were a JDAM we probably wouldn't have any video. The explosion would have shredded everything at that distance and no one would have been running away like we saw.

@BowesChay It is not an artilerry. It's a JDAM bomb

It looks like Steve and his crew were targetted with an M982 Excalibur, US GPS-guided, 155mm extended-range artillery shell. They strike with precision within 4 meters at ranges over 40 km.

@starcitizenbot And just as importantly, they'd need to make ship claiming allow you to recover the items in the ship for an increased fee of course. I ain't got time to spend 30 minutes preparing to go do something restocking, I'm not a child.

Top post of the day from r/starcitizen u/Important_Cow7230 [DISCUSSION]: CIG - before you bring the changes to armor requirements (no heavy armor whilst flying the ship, only flight armor has HUD and EVA etc) PLEASE ensure suit lockers are functional first reddit.com/r/starcitizen/…

@EricLDaugh You're dumb if you're falling for this poll, or you are an enemy agent whose purpose is to lead conservatives to defeat. No group on Earth agrees 100% on any damn thing much less a group of 60 million people.

🚨 BREAKING: In a STUNNING moment, CNN was just forced to report that Donald Trump has 100% MAGA APPROVAL 100%. WOW 🔥 The kicker? The share of voters who call themselves "MAGA" is the *SAME* as when he won in 2024! "You don't have to be a GENIUS to know you can't go higher than 100%!" "Some Republicans disapprove...but they are NOT members of the MAGA movement." Q: But are people leaving MAGA? CNN: "In November 2024, 28% were MAGA. It's basically the SAME, 30%!" "The MAGA base is NOT SHRINKING — it's the SAME SIZE! If anything, it's slightly larger!" "That 100% that Trump has among MAGA GOP, is NOT an artifact of MAGA shrinking. It's just how strong Trump's grip is on the MAGA base!"

@camarosquid @sukh_saroy This.

@sukh_saroy The fact that this isn't the default for Gimp is why I never bothered with it. It's a terrible design tool if you're coming from programs like Adobe or Affinity, the latter which is free now...

🚨Breaking: Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop. Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything. It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free. Here's exactly what it changes: → Every keyboard shortcut mapped to match Adobe's official Photoshop layout → Tools reorganized to match the Photoshop panel positions you already know → Canvas space maximized -- same default workspace as Photoshop → Custom splash screen and app icon so it feels like a real product → Pre-defined canvas templates matching Photoshop defaults → Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux -- installs in under a minute Here's the wildest part: Adobe Photoshop costs $600/year. GIMP is free. PhotoGIMP makes it feel like Photoshop. The only reason most designers don't switch is muscle memory every shortcut is in a different place and it feels wrong from the first click. This patch fixes that entirely. Ctrl+Z undo. Ctrl+J duplicate layer. Ctrl+T transform. All of it. Download a zip. Extract to your home folder. Done. 6.7K GitHub stars. Works with GIMP 3.0+. 100% Open Source. GPL-3.0 License. (Link in the comments)

@cowtownjb @blacknredtext Tell me why automatically turning on the TV and being able to control the volume of the TV or audio equipment isn't an important thing for any media control center. Or do you just like making your life difficult?

@aidenpryde @blacknredtext This is the stupidest take in the conversation.
