Because they worry about any other weapon? Or the extremely rare case that someone actually has a highly dangerous fire arm? My point is that they can have much less drastic standard procedures (and equipment), because the standard scenario of operation is significantly less threatening.

There are special forces that get involved with the real shit. But the bar for real shit here is someone has any gun.

He probably wasn’t arrested. It sounds like the police handcuffed him while checking whether he was indeed alone and then asked about what he was doing at his computer. After he explained, they asked him to turn off the stream, at which point I would assume he was freed again.

I assume they went on to explain the situation and then questioned him. If there is no evidence of any crime, they will just take his personals so they can contact him on any development. He is the victim of a crime after all.

Isn’t it amazing how you can “SWAT” (from the looks of it that weren’t special forces btw.) someone by knocking on the door, instead of blasting through it and charging in, ready to shoot anything that moves?

That’s something you can do if you don’t have to be afraid of shotguns and full-auto rifles when going into random people’s houses.

I used to always have a ChatGPT tab pinned, so I wouldn’t mind. That said, the integration is just plain terrible. To be more precise, the whole experience with the sidebar is terrible. Why can I only have one and not even choose the default one? I need two clicks to get to the assistant, which is one more than just pinning a tab…

In Brave, the integration is so much better. They have a dedicated button (that you can also disable iirc), that opens a sidebar with only the chatbot. Moreover, you can choose from a bunch of models or link your own. You are not constantly at risk of accidentally sending something to it when selecting text, because neither is “AI” the top option in context menus, nor is one opening automatically. AI doesn’t appear in search. And it can even do more (e.g. “summarize this entire page”), while there is also no need to log in.

In short: This seems not thought through at all. And if it was, maybe the reactions would be less negative.

Yep, no one takes the most appreciated language under programmers seriously. The surveys are all constructed to make Rust look better.

tldr: Linux can have driver issues and programs or updates might not work as expected. So anything you can expect from any major OS.

(This is also used for Plasma’s performance profiles, not just GNOME’s)

Eh, in terms of UI and shortcuts, Plasma is very close. If you sit a Windows poweruser in front of Plasma, I’m quite confident they will feel right at home.

That’s actually how I got introduced to Linux. Then I discovered the Settings app. Fast forward: EndeavourOS btw.

Ya know, Signal has been audited multiple times. It’s OSS. IT sec elite has looked at it and says it’s sound. If anything is plausible, it would be your device spying on you rather than Signal.

What’s weird tho is how people think this has anything do with messaging or data privacy. This is about Telegram being used as a public platform. They can’t force Durov to decrypt anything, nor do they need to, because they already know your groups…

There’s a solution for that tho: Tags. If you have sane (default) tags, you type ‘terminal’ and konsole pops up. And I feel like KDE mostly has that.

You should almost always use amd_pstate=guided/active on anything newer than Zen 2, although Arch Wiki says active is the default since kernel 6.5. Even if it doesn’t seem to fix the problem, it’s the preferred way to run those CPUs (if it works). guided + conservative scaling governor might help. Maybe it’s just a reporting bug tho, wouldn’t be a first for AMD.

I find it kinda sad that KDE is attempting to stop it’s series of K-puns. I suspect that some app names are/were intentionally bad. Like Kcalc instead of Kalculator? Kome on…

Bruh, you can’t just submit entirely new data structures as “fixes”, let alone past the merge window.

It should not be hard at all to grasp that.

I probably should try NixOS, but I’m tempted by BlendOS

You can select GTK themes under:

System Settings > Colors & Themes > Application Style > Configure GNOME/GTK Application Style

For Flatpaks you need to run

pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-kde xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

Support is limited tho.

It’s mainly supposed to be simpler and by extension faster than btrfs (which is kinda proven by the fact that fewer devs made this thing work in less time when compared to btrfs). It happens to enable some extra features that way too.

However, while btrfs annecdotally had many issues, it’s used by big players like SUSE and even bigger ones like Facebook these days. bcachefs on the other hand is nowhere near as battle tested, so I’ll stay away from it for a little longer.

Let’s go full guerilla: Plugin that lets you select the first and the last frame of an ad, thus allows to report the beginning and length to a synced database. When that frame is found in the buffer, skip X frames ahead.

For ergonomics, the plugin should be able to spot cuts in the video so you can easily select the correct frames.

For resilience, maybe settle for similar frames. Thinking about anti-abuse, maybe require a minimum number of reports relative to the views (and ofc allow to not skip stuff).

They are the second largest “Linux company” by revenue after Red Hat iirc

All people named Susanne: 😐
