e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•An update on the X11 GNOME Session Removal. The X11 session for GNOME 49 will be disabled by default and it’s scheduled for removallink fedilink 10 days ago20·arrow-up The source code is freely available and GNOME isn’t beholden to Canonicals decisions. If the Ubuntu devs want to keep X11 around nobody can stop them from maintaining it themselves, or pay somebody from the GNOME team to do it for them.
e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deMto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Pro-AI mod and self-proclaimed 'communist' got mad for being downvoted.link fedilink 10 days ago12arrow-up 1·arrow-down I noticed this a while ago but just found it funny and moved on. I think they rage ban anyone who posts here. The reason why someone who apparently is very pro-AI would visits an Anti-AI community just to be angry eludes me.
e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Games@lemmy.world•Deathloop is free to claim on Epic Gameslink Englishfedilink 28arrow-up 1·arrow-down 13 days agoedit-2 I never spent a single cent at their store and probably never will, but since Epic is so keen on burning money I am happy to help them with that.
e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Shots firedlink fedilink 15 days ago14·arrow-up You can just buy them for one year and keep using the perpetual fallback license. Also, they can fuck right off with their planet incinerating automatic plagiarism chat bots.
e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Buy European@feddit.uk•Fairphone 6 to be announced June 25, 2025link fedilink 6·arrow-up 15 days agoedit-2 Yes, my Fairphone 4 was supposed to get monthly security updates until summer 2024 but in my experience they where always late, sometimes by more than a month. They now also missed the Q1 2025 deadline for the promised upgrade to Android 14.
e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Shots firedlink fedilink 15 days ago33arrow-up 3·arrow-down Most of their IDEs you can use for free for non-commercial purposes and even if you need to buy them; when you compare software development to any other profession our tools are incredibly cheap. You can get all the Jetbrains IDEs for less than 300€. Compare that to a HDL simulator or a 3D CAD application like Autodesk. These easily cost several thousand euros each year.
e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto memes@lemmy.world•Benefit of the hindsightlink fedilink 16 days ago21·arrow-up This still fundamentally suffers from the oracle problem like all blockchains solutions. You can always attack these blockchain solutions at the point where they need to interact with the real world. In this case the camera is the “oracle” and nothing prevents someone from attacking the proposed camera and leveraging it to certify some modified footage. The blockchain doesn’t add anything a public database and digitally signed footage wouldn’t also achieve.

e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025 after passing budget evaluationlink fedilink 26 days ago3·arrow-up I am reminded of The Jaunt where animals and humans can survive teleportation only while unconscious.
e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Buy European@feddit.uk•How Lidl accidentally took on the big guns of cloud computing. A unit of Europe’s largest retailer is offering IT services to companies wary of big providers such as Amazon and Google.link fedilink 27 days ago27·arrow-up The article doesn’t link it directly but I think their cloud platform is called stackit. This could be a good offering if all you need is a server capacity and a bit of monitoring but companies looking for an equivalent to things like Azure B2C or other “Cloud native” services wont find them there. Bert Hubert wrote about this a few months ago. Platforms like this are really cool but they wont sway any customers who look for fully featured services that they can use like building blocks for their applications.
e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@programming.dev•The future of Flatpak - LWNlink fedilink 27 days ago4·arrow-up Yes, I did. They are both perfectly fine editors but they don’t hold a candle to a proper IDE with a good Vim plugin. I also want to play some games that go beyond the production values of SuperTuxKart and Battle for Wesnoth.
e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@programming.dev•The future of Flatpak - LWNlink fedilink 9·arrow-up 27 days agoedit-2 I am eagerly awaiting your FOSS implementation of all Jetbrains IDEs; and no the half-baked solutions that are Visual Studio Code and the various other editors that need approximately 50 plugins to get basic refactoring features don’t cut it. While you are at it, please also reimplement the whole Steam catalog.
e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@programming.dev•The future of Flatpak - LWNlink fedilink 27 days ago20·arrow-up Reading that Flatpak is struggling to merge new features is concerning. Flatpak is a really important project for getting commercial developers on board. I don’t want to go back to unpacking .deb files built only for Ubuntu 12.04 to install an application and I want closed source apps to be sandboxed.
e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computerslink Englishfedilink 1 month ago9·arrow-up New ones probably use something newer. The 20 year old elevator in a hospital will only be upgraded if something breaks.
e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computerslink Englishfedilink 1 month ago5·arrow-up We are far away from the release of the Raspberry Pi if that screen is running an early version of Windows CE. Putting a PC in the elevator to drive the screen was probably the most cost effective solution.
e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computerslink Englishfedilink 8·arrow-up 1 month agoedit-2 Yes? That is not that unusual and it is mentioned in the third sentence of the article.
As I rode up to the 14th floor, my eyes were drawn to a screen built into the side of the lift.
e8d79@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computerslink Englishfedilink 1 month ago18·arrow-up It’s probably only the screen component that is running an old version of embedded windows.
Looking though the related patents, fart filters certainly seem to be a hot topic among inventors.
Here is a patent for a literal butt-plug fart filter.
This one is from last year.
