I agree that’s very annoying sometimes but at the same time very beneficial for in-game performance as it greatly reduces the amount of computations the game has to do at runtime. If you have a powerful enough PC or the game isn’t very demanding you can just disable shader pre-caching in steam settings and it shouldn’t matter much but it’s a real life saver for more demanding titles and imo worth all that wait.

Now that you mention it, there really has been like a year since rust has first been introduced the the kernel officially. I don’t know if any parts of it have been written in rust as of now or whether new drivers have been made, but I suppose it’s most likely still experimental in a way.

what do you mean? it’s still being used in many many projects and is as great as ever

Oh my god, so many of my friends studying computer science try to complete entire projects using chatgpt without even understanding the basics and then fail miserably because they can’t even properly form the prompt

y-yes

I use arch btw

Thank you, I really enjoy that theme @ass_destroyer@lemmy.blahaj.zone

I think the terminal should be in light mode tho to match the rest

Just look at South Korea where Samsung’s revenue is equal to a whopping 17% of the entire country’s GDP, making them hold enormous power over politics, education, journalism and the legal system.

To be honest I expected nothing else from the Linux kernel as by now it’s so widespread and essential to so many companies’ operations that they need to have their dedicated developers to make patches and push new features into the kernel. The notable fact though is that Linux is licensed under GPL and somehow the companies still embraced it, so it’s not as “toxic” to them as expected. I am aware of the fact that Linux and most other popular GPL projects are mostly contained to binaries and there’s even one notable example with the ogg vorbis audio format where Richard Stallman himself decided that relincensing it under BSD license instead of the LGPL would improve its adoption over the patented MP3 so clearly GPL isn’t always the right choice, but if people don’t actively push for copyleft licenses then we’ll forever be stuck in a world of companies actively blocking the spread of knowledge, selling us software filled with DRM and proprietary software, making insane profits, but graciously letting a few developers to contribute some of their company time back to these open source projects. I don’t think it’s fair and GPL may not be solution for all the problems, but what else it to be done?

I don’t think there’s a hidden conspiracy behind projects such as this one; it may be just that it’s simply much easier for projects with permissive licenses to take off as corporations and private entities are willing to sometimes submit patches and contribute to these projects on the side while sponsoring the developers with money. However, it’s still definitely not proportionate to the value that the community contributes back and basically gives to the corporations for free with most of them packaging these libraries and binaries and selling their software for much higher profit without ever contributing anything back. There is a reason why these permissive licenses are called the cuck licenses and I wish that more people would start caring about the license they publish their code under, but the sad reality is that, especially in the rust community, the MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses became the de facto standard, and that was without much pressure from the big corporations, though rust has its origins under the umbrella of Mozilla so it’s not that surprising given this context.

Unfortunately lemmy devs removed captchas recently https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2922 so email verification and/or rate limiting is probably the only real option for protection.

Wow, this looks very promising

People should really consider joining the smaller instances, because as things stand right now the main ones have thousands of users (and still growing rapidly, causing problems) while many smaller ones have just a few dozen users but probably enough hardware and network capacity to get hundreds more.

Anyhow, my instance has not gone down yet so feel welcomed to join https://lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz/ if you’re iterested :>

I’m afraid of that too as an admin, and I’ve already seen that some people have experienced problems with bots spamming crypto ads in some communities. Ultimately the bulk of the responsibility rests on the shoulders of instance admins. Turning on email and captcha verification is a possibility, there are requests limits that can be set, you can utilize services such as cloudflare etc.

Reddit also had problems like that, especially not long ago with random ad bots following people out of the blue; they couldn’t fully get rid of that and I think that on lemmy bots are also going to become a problem, however there are options to limit their impact.

What I’d recommend in your case is sorting the posts by “hot” instead of “active” which is the default setting. Posts get up the active sorting whenever somebody comments on them or upvotes (I think?), even if they are very old, whereas hot should only show you new and currently popular posts. You’ll still see the post that you’ve already seen and a setting for that is clearly missing, but it should still be an improvement.

I’ve made https://lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz/ to help take off some of that load. New registrations are welcomed and it should be maintained for a very very long time 🎂

I’m so happy to finally see a cool light mode setup

It really depends on how that specific instance is set up. Of course during the registration you provide your username and email, but some instances may keep logs that contain things like ip addresses, your user agent and so on (my instance does, for example, but only for a limited time), while some may opt to not keep that info at all (from the sysadmin perspective though they’d kinda be in the dark while trying to fight things such as server abuse).

However, I don’t know how it looks from the legal perspective. I’d imagine only the courts could force you to share the information stored on the server, but that requires a process.

Hey, I also noticed the lack of a madoka magica community, so I created !madokamagica@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz

The easiest thing to do imo would be to just copy the rules from one of the main instances and stick to these. Then just monitor the activity on your instance from time to time and review applications and reports.
