Not to mention that MBFC is Israeli affiliated lmao

that’s true but the Jerusalem post isn’t a primary source in this case, the direct source would be a Knesset press statement.

I’d say least prefer a rule on serving these sites behind a cache link so the ads and clicks aren’t registered!

Once again asking that we don’t directly link to the fucking Jerusalem Post, which is barely more reputable and progressive than if the daily mail began demanding its editors to browse stormfront forums for 8 hours a day

amateur. I just manifest the correct IP address for my desired resource and fetch it with curl

The trick to writing a JavaScript web app is that first you consider literally any other technology to solve your problem and only then consider using javascript.

I moved from a 1080p monitor to a 1440p one for my main display and it’s actually really worthwhile. Not only is your daily computing sharper, but multitasking becomes easier because smaller windows are still legible.

IMO it’s a lot easier on the eyes when things are sharper, too.

1080p is still more than enough, but I think 1440p is worth it for a screen you’re using for hours every day :)

If Ubisoft kept the crew (and others) on your account post-shutdown, people could create community servers much like they have for Titanfall and others.

Piracy allows software to be controlled by users, not publishers, in a way that if there was legitimate support for it people can still reverse engineer these games to support them.

Gran Turismo 4, for example, can only be modded and given online functionality through piracy (mods require a version of the game used as a beta test for some features so it wasn’t widely sold).

Piracy isn’t the only tool in maintaining discontinued games, but it’s fundamental to people who may want to develop alternative servers for them.

Oh good, because he was a fascist dictato-- oh because they think the CPP loves him? ok lmao

If the modern internet teaches us anything, its that everything is ephemeral even when you stringently catalogue every last byte of data. People just dont need access to 90% of YouTube’s library, yet Youtube has to pay big money to make 100% of that library available 24/7 365.

There’s already rips at the seams of these systems. Time is not on the side of YouTube.

Loongarch is a few years ahead of RISC-V atm. the fastest RV cores are comparable to ARM A53 (Raspberry pi 3-ish) whilst Loongarch is comparable to Intel Core 10th generation.

I think its a sunk cost thing. Loongarch was set in motion before RISC-V International was established in a neutral country, and now they’d be giving up a faster proprietary ISA for one that’s much slower atm.

The fact Alibaba is putting their money on RISC-V is probably enough of a sign that Loongarch will likely have a short-lived time at the top of the Chinese DIY processor stack.

Nothing about RISC-V disallows hardware-level surveillance. Most if not all surveillance hardware on our devices are really just super-low-power ARM CPUs. You can in theory just make a RISC-V chip capable of doing the same work.

I do think you’re probably right that it’s more about having exclusive control over the intellectual property and the ISA specification. RISC-V does allow you to close-source your chip designs, but the foundation behind it was only moved to a relatively-neutral country (Switzerland) in 2019, which is some years after Loongson moved to proprietary CPU designs.

They’re the only ones going proprietary as far as i know, most are going for RISC-V

reminds me of the infamous NSA backdoor patch blog for Notepad++

Firstly: its Haaretz, so pretty biased as a source. But secondly: lol lmao.

Depends on a few things with your setup: age of your GPU, the resolution/refresh rate of your monitor. I think even the choice of DP/HDMI can have an impact too

I tried their experimental Wayland session and it’s still super buggy on high refresh rate/high DPI screens (loads of graphical errors and artifacts) so still a ways to go imo

Heres my based af workflow:

git checkout -b feature-branch

rebase on top of dev whilst working locally

git rebase origin/dev-branch && git push -f

if i need to fix conflicts with dev-branch during a PR

git merge origin/dev

The US giving Israel a bunch of military equipment (including nearing the sale of 50(!) F-15s) a few days before what appears to be an intentional provocation of a regional enemy to the US is something a little bit too on the nose.

Even if it’s not the US helping these plans along, they certainly would love an opportunity for Israel to act as a proxy against the Iranian govt that they’ve been trying to justify war against for over a decade now.

I was more expecting Affinity to integrate and replace features with Canva until a subscription is all but required for basic functionality.

as long as you can host the “SaaS” elements yourself (nextcloud, for example) there’s a lot more software than you’d initially think. There will always be a market for self-hosted options for cloud software imo: loads of businesses are reluctant to move their internal infrastructure to the cloud
