the author of the article wrote an article a while ago about how they think steam is enshittifying and becoming bad because they got rid of mac support and some people didn’t like steam in the 2000s, so I think this person just takes controversial opinions randomly and writes about them.

I mean it might be more secure, it might be less secure, we just can’t read through the source for windows, so we won’t know until linux is attacked as much as windows. It would (will?) definitely be interesting to find out.

freecad is horrible, not really worth trying.

I’ve heard of people getting fusion 360 running great with a snap, but others say it has issues. the github for it is being actively maintained, so thats a good sign at least.

I tried to get siemens solid edge working through wine, but it was mostly broken and I didn’t dig too deep into troubleshooting, I just dualboot windows for fussy programs and anticheats

ok but the real interesting stuff like reading hand writing from a paralyzed person imagining writing it and etc are all only for actual electrodes in brains.

Your point makes sense, but an epoxy submersible definitely wouldn’t make it down to the titanic intact even once, and there are some ways fibers could be put in tension by compressing the cylinder, so the CF was doing something, its just complicated. They shouldve just built a normal submersible though.

i dunno, too many teenagers have pretty much no concerns about (online) privacy at all

reminds me of geowizards episodes geolocating vacation photos for fun. this one was insane, similar in detail to the photo in the tweet

I think one way is to use a domain host that is located in some country that doesn’t care at all.

why do we need to drop hyprland over the lead dev’s views, they are pretty bad, but its an open source project, and I joined the discord server and didn’t immediately see any issues. vaxry even made a point of saying that they will accept PRs as long as they are good quality, regardless of personal views.

single gpu vm passthrough. took a few days for troubleshooting, and i didnt even want to get it to be undetectable by game anticheat, i hear that needs building your own kernel for some advanced detection methods.

the sls has been in development for 13 years, and 24 billion dollars spent, and it has managed one uncrewed launch, and the cost per launch is expected to be 2 billion. i do not like elon musk, but spacex (and other launch startups) are clearly more innovative and get things done faster and cheaper.

I converted a pdf book scan to epub with tessaract ocr and calibre, it didn’t need any programming, but the end result did have a typo every few paragraphs. Most were very similar to each other though, so a few hours cleaning it up would’ve made it pretty readable.

cracked servers (that dont need a microsoft account and dont use their authentication) are quite common, in fact you dont need “patched” server software to make one, it is literally a setting in the default microsoft provided server!

you would want some sort of in game authentication through a plugin (spigot, bukkit, etc) to prevent people from claiming to be your username and the server blindly trusting them and getting your stuff stolen though.

Nah it’s more about pointing out how groups of people that are into tech like linux, programming etc, seem to have a lot of lgbtq people. Anecdotally, I have seen a lot programming communities with an oddly large number of lgbtq people in them.

wow, didnt know about that. i still think its a hard problem, i mean artillery rounds dont fly a few feet off the ground and manuever, but if anything could defend against drones it’d be that.

i dont think its realistic to have reliable anti drone defenses.

i fly an fpv drone (the kind used by ukraine), but for fun and without explosives, and they are so small and manuverable that it doesnt seem super doable to hit them with a net or whatever. jamming would work, but they can just use a different frequency, and gps spoofing is only a problem for autonomous drones.

i dont know enough about lasers to judge them, so maybe thatd work, but as an example of how extreme drones can get, there was a guy who built a little quadcopter that flew up to 40,000ft. its a hard problem

lack of redundancy is a concern, but the same was said for fly by wire cutting the physical link between stick and controls. fly by wire is ubiquitous now, can be made very very safe, and is a net gain for aviation in general.

not having a window is obviously a bigger challenge, but its still a solvable problem.

it took a bit to learn but now its great

minecraft (java, not sure about bedrock) on linux is flawless, private servers work exactly as they do on windows.

sure illegal content can be accessed over a vpn without port forwarding, but when someone is hosting a child porn site over a mullvad ip, that is clearly a larger problem
