If you just want to change a few lines of code why not just, you know, change them?...

For a media PC GNOME is goated, specifically their overview! One button on the "magic remote" mouse to easily switch between desktops, windows, control basic settings, and launch other applications is awesome. Generally prefer KDE and did choose it this time when reinstalling the media/coach-gaming machine, but really wish there was anything like GNOMEs overview on KDE.

(Yes, the Plasma overview is awesome, but you can't launch new apps from it without typing).

Except if the AI companies get what they want, and age/id verification goes through globally as seemingly planned, and they get a convenient "this is safe to train on" stamp on all their data.

The death of online privacy for most/all, better training for the models they use to manipulate public opinion, easier protection against scrapers (can't have your competitors stealing the things you've stolen first) and a sweet deal for the advertisers that can rest easy knowing their ads are shown to real people.

Yay.

Did my very first 3d print yesturday on my new Anycubic Kobra S1, and I'm very happy with going with the kombo. For the future or if you print a lot of multi-material I definetely agree, but being able to swap between 4 different spools without manual intervention is great, and considering it has a built in dryer the package deal felt like a no brainer. Just a decent seperate filament dryer seems to cost 100-200€.

For me the ability to do occasional multi-material prints is just a bonus!

"life is of negative value, and that the will, ignited by the knowledge that non-being is better than being, is the supreme principle of morality".

(Disclaimer: not trying to start a fight, I'm just genuinely curios about your perspective of this)

I don't really accept that anyone truly believe this besides truly evil people, "truly believe" here being "lives according to the philosophy".

If this is the conclusion for people, wouldn't the "supremely morally correct" thing to do being to end as many other people as possible before ending oneself?

Life being meaningless because of the vastness of space and time also feels like it's just a matter of perspective; we're not significant from a cosmological perspective but why would that matter? We are from a human (/individual) perspective.

You probably don't matter in the perspective of even human history, but you matter a lot to the people around you, and might even have had a crucial impact on someone who was just a passing connection.

I think that was the reason he gave for using clippy?

"Clippy didn't spy on you, he just wanted to help", as a contrast to copilot etc.

Or had to use the 365 version, which somehow is a thousand times worse. Like seriously, what kind of fucking drugs were they on when writing that piece of crap? Google Drive, Libreoffice, regular Word are all fucking perfect compared to that hellspawn. /rant

A friend had a cat move in voluntarily, so guess that would be one way. It's still an outdoor cat and can come and go as it pleases, it just seems to prefer staying there. It just gets food, scratches, and a place to stay, but is technically pretty much a wild animal. It behaves as if its lived with them for its whole life and tends to sleep next to my friend in her bed at night.

Yeah you're correct on the accusations, I should have clarified.

But with that approach it doesn't sound like there is anything an organization could do against false accusations that would absolve them of wrongdoing. I'm all for bashing corrupt/horrible companies, but it feels like there should be at least some presumption of innocence unless there is any kind of proof. Painting all accused with the same brush just leads to devaluing the brush IMO. But like you said, people may (and will) believe what they want, and people are under no obligation to watch or support any creator unless they want to. In my case I just haven't seen any proof of wrongdoing (in this case, gamersnexus controversy was worse IMO).

What do you think a company should do in that situation, assuming it is being falsely accused? What would a "perfect" response be? I cant think of a much better one than what LTT did, given their circumstances, but would love to hear what a better response would look like.

They hired an external firm to investigate themselves and they found nothing, while the accuser had zero proof. There is plenty of things to accuse them for, the gamers nexus thing for one, but I'm a bit annoyed about false accusations sticking so hard when there is little reason to believe it. If anything it makes people less likely to believe actual victims.

If your data is very important you should definitely prioritize implementing your backup for at least the most important stuff. You could probably move it over, but in case something happens your data will most likely be gone, or best case very hard to recover.

Fedora is a great distro, but they are decidedly bleeding edge on purpose and IMO not the best choice for a server hosting critical data.

A better option would be running a hypervisor like proxmox (you can even convert your existing Debian install, but I havent tried this personally) and passing your GPU to a virtual machine that runs fedora.

This gives you both a very stable environment for your data and and a bleeding edge environment where your hardware decoding likely works great. I do this exact thing personally and it works great.

If you try it (which I very much recommend!), don't be afraid to ask for help and further try not to be discouraged if the wrong type of person (eg "read the manual noob" type people) respond. The Linux community is full of both the most helpful and most elitist type of people, and an unfortunate amount of new users get scared away by the second group.
