Make backups of your important files, or use a separate home partition. When I used arch, more than once I had a bricked install after doing updates. The last straw for me was when after updating my network completely went out. I switched to fedora and haven’t had issues for 2+ years. Also, (this goes for every distro, but more so arch than others) NEVER update if you don’t have at least some time in front of you in case something happens. Arch was definitely a good learning experience and it was fun at first tweaking everything, but the drawbacks in stability got a bit old after a while. The AUR is a godsend and it’s the best thing ever, you should also be using an AUR helper like Yay to make your life easier.

I mean… Yeah, it pretty obviously was a mistake from the beginning. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just as bad as the conspiracy theorists who think there’s a deep state controlling us with the 5g in the vaccines. Facebook don’t have any incentive to ban the word Linux, even they use it. It’s not like it’s a subject that would make their customers go away (like NSFW stuff for example). The shit I’ve seen people say “it’s probably Microsoft paying them to censor Linux users” as if 1. Linux is any threat to windows’s market share and 2. Microsoft didn’t intentionally keep Linux alive as a way to avoid antitrust lawsuits. Microsoft is big on Linux too with azure.

The big search engine crawlers like googles or Microsoft’s should respect your robots.txt file. This trick affects those who don’t honor the file and just scrape your website even if you told it not to

Hell Nvidia’s stock plummeted as well, which makes no sense at all, considering Deepseek needs the same hardware as ChatGPT.

It’s the same hardware, the problem for them is that deepseek found a way to train their AI for much cheaper using a lot less than the hundreds of thousands of GPUs from Nvidia that openai, meta, xAi, anthropic etc. uses

Of course, but the articles make it seem like it will 6x the performance in some games when in reality it won’t because the performance gain is already factored in upstream proton

These articles are very misleading because Proton is already patched to include fsync (I think it’s fsync). So basically there won’t be any performance improvement for most games under 99.999% of setups. Still a good thing that this is merged because it means the regular wine outside of proton will now be on par with proton

New soyjack unlocked?

I don’t have glasses but if youre in a country with Costco’s, my family swear by them for glasses

Very thorough overview, I really like the charge limit feature, I previously had to use an extension to manage it

Oh no not corporations threatening to leave the market if they can’t operate the way they want and thinking we will mourn their departure 😢😢

This is good too because it will give a chance to smaller businesses to compete. The bad side of this is all the people working for Amazon at this center will lose their jobs sadly.

Time to crank up their openAI bill 😎😎

I’m on 565 haha, I think it’s got to do with the kernel, I’ve seen people say it’s solved with 6.13

I have an Nvidia GPU and suspend/resume works about 20% of the time so my PC is shutdown every time I won’t use it for a few hours. Don’t use my personal computer that much so it doesn’t really bother me a lot. My laptop is however long the battery lasts with the lid closed, I don’t use it much so most times I pick it up it’s dead.

All I want to know is if used AMD cards will finally get reasonable pricing or not… In Canada it’s still about 5-600$ for a 6800XT, a 4 year old card

That’s not true, why do you lie? The community notes I have seen are very reasonable and are not used to harass people but rather to correct lies or misleading information

😬😬😬

Community notes are an actually good feature of Twitter. It’s a good thing they are copying it

Pretty much yeah

Proton is still a for-profit company, the change that happened was that the for-profit company was no longer owned by a single or multiple people (that can sell it whenever they want). Instead now proton is owned by the non profit that can’t be sold

We should just abolish Canada as a country and instead build an EU-like structure where each province is its own independent country and there is a “government” that is used to pass laws using a larger demographic market that companies need to comply to. Canada is broken and I think most things would be better managed if provinces had full controls
