This is the real issue IMO, framework mainly appeals to the environmental crowd and economical crowd. Problem is buying used corporate workstations is way better for both these markets + it doesnt even seem like the motherboard upgrades are much cheaper than just buying a new used laptop. Maybe with terrible ssd prices the calculus changes, but you still need to upgrade ram on a new board anyway. Hardware just doesn't improve on the 2-4 year timescales to justify this anymore.
Discord was originally a replacement for teamspeak/mumble and it's how most people I actually know still use it. It was "nice" because you didn't need to set up your own server. Using it as a replacement for irc came later. Image support in chats is nice, but I really only use it for the voip chat rooms.
This doesn't make sense because the reverse would be true, and it's not. If they were so different an explosion in server demand wouldn't strongly affect consumer products.
AI such as Deep Blue was able to outperform humans at a specific tasks because humans wrote the algorithms.
This isn't true of modern game-playing AI like Alpha-Go or recent Stockfish versions. These learn by playing against themselves over billions of games, and the strategies they develop aren't guided by human input. These kinds of results aren't achieved by LLM bots because there's no equivalent to "winning the game" in a chatbot conversation that can easily be rewarded automatically.
Even returning to JVM languages would be huge over the current js based electron slop. Things are so bad "optimized software" doesn't need to mean C++ or Rust.
Never had as bad an experience with Linux as on a Macbook, and that includes Dell laptops in the early '10s. Sound doesn't work, sleep doesn't work either. Beyond that the keyboard is screwed up and double types all the time, which is totally unreasonable on a laptop ~5 years old.
More than 5 years old includes all the major live service titles at this point, back in the day people would be hopping to whatever new COD/Battlefield just came out, which would lock that metric to 2-3 years max. Since Moore's law is long dead at this point the technology just doesn't improve much year over year, and it's hard to sell a new minor iteration on a game without flashy visual upgrades, the old model just doesn't really make sense anymore.
I think this is the most important aspect of Linux accepting more rust contributions. More and more existing maintainers are aging out, and people just don't learn or want to build large applications in C anymore. From what I understand companies doing proprietary kernel development have largely made the rust transition for new code at this point, so fewer and fewer systems level programmers will be used to C (and C++ over time) for these tasks. Existing maintainers pressure against rust development could become a threat to the long term viability of the kernel.
No, because section 230 has been in effect since long before those companies existed. The law removes liability from companies who decide to moderate user content. If it were repealed they'd have to stop moderation or face liability. The Background and Passage Section on Wikipedia outlines the court cases that led to the law's creation.
Blanket removing Section 230 does literally the opposite. Without it platforms are only liable for user generated content if they moderate it. before if a platform moderated content published by users, it would be considered a content publisher, like a newspaper or magazine, and would be liable for user generated content. If they didn't moderate they would be considered a content distributor, like a bookstore, which isn't liable for the content of the material they distribute. So repealing it means any website with user generated content would effectively be required to operate like 4chan or Usenet.
It seems like since my generation had "If you put something on the Internet it'll be there forever" drilled into us as kids, many of us feel entitled to "the internet" preserving our data for us. Most people don't realize how much labor and resource usage goes into preserving data forever.

That's interesting since you were already using slack, did you just switch due to network effect or are there additional features in discord?
Can it do drop in/drop out VoIP rooms like mumble?

Surprised privacy conscious people are so pro obsidian when it's not even source available

Irfanview is honestly a huge loss, I'm honestly shocked I haven't been able to find something even close to comparable.

The Dynamicland website reminds me of the worst of the 00's, it really turned me off to the whole project
Sourcehut is really the only step between just using an ssh server and something like forgejo that I know of.

Especially when most games that've come out this year run like shit, and a new graphics card is nearly a rent payment
Is there anything for all the "subscribe to newsletter" popups on news sites and online stores?
technically libreoffice exists, they really need to fix office comparability though
