There's a party called "Pirates"...
On a serious note, I'm not familiar with those that were absent, but I always advise to check if it's common for them to vanish when touchy subjects are discussed.

Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint Eye Age Verification Amid California Law Backlash

It might be a good thing for the Internet to get intrinsic resistance to DDoS attacks

Jump

Auster @thebrainbin.org 7h ago

Worth noting resistance is not the same as a solution. While building it is important, the alternative being losing, it's an eternal process.

As a comparison, quoting Sabaton's Versailles song:

 War will never entirely die

    
it will evolve, it will change
and War will return, sooner than we think

Just joined Lemmy - sharing AI-assisted personal projects, would love your thoughts!

Welcome! Hope you like your stay!

About AI, people here also tend to be rather negatively sensitive to LLMs overall. But personally, I think that if you understand what's going on and could replicate by hand, there shouldn't be a problem. And having seen teachers failing to understand or reply to my issues* as badly as LLMs when tripping, imo using them as additional resources is valid if you can sift through the 💩

*my issues can be highly specific or even so basic that otherwise no one would bother to think about them hehe

About communities, haven't looked for any specifics, so can't help on that, but I remember skimming through some AI-related ones when going through the communities list.

Skimming through the article, it also sounds pretty negative.

But no indication of making it selfhostable. Another brick to this fate they built for themselves.

I searched `CachyOS vs Fedora` on YouTube and all I found was AI Slop 🙄

Auster @thebrainbin.org 2d ago

Youtube is already pretty bad anyways. Adding LLM tools and similar, as a local saying goes, is just a fart to who already shat him/herself.

Copypasta of my comment to someone else:

They'd just need to find what links the multiple "you" though, like how iirc Facebook would use phone contacts to make a map of who's who.

Is it raining? Go reenact a famous old movie.Is it snowing? Find someone to throw snowballs with/at.Is it sunny? Go take a nap in a hammock or find an ice cream bar.

By experience, I totally agree, doing outdoors activities is great for the mind. Also, the same as darker seasons make people depressive, I'd imagine spending all of one's free time in a dark room has a similar effect. Furthermore, there may even be cases the source of the person's mental issues is within the walls of his/her home aside from the darkness, so taking strolls, doing activities, etc. may serve as a moment to take the mind out of such issues.

The cryptids and end-of-world scenarios there must be out of control, so they must be going with the nuclear option:https://media.thebrainbin.org/74/62/7462bbd431d41e3d0ebbcea86713ccfec7d12bc6c4e9f9ce3c4d316a8be5130f.png

Jokes aside, it's a draft, so I wonder if they're proposing the absolute worse option so bad options sound acceptable. Wouldn't be the first time I see this sort of thing, specially with alarmist, sensationalistic and discreetly ill-intented news media aplenty as samples.

Steam hardware survey for February 2026. What happened? Why did it lose such a big percentage?

Jump

Auster @thebrainbin.org 4d ago

Two theories I saw are that it's an influx of Chinese machines, and/or it's natural fluctuation and the tendency is still of growth. I theorize it could also be most companies going back to being active by February and people including those without extra machines having to use Windows to do their jobs.

While the images are public and likely hard to see fully gone, maybe you can try to get a judicial order to get the IP of the poster, and through that find and sue whomever the individual is? (And if over VPN, I'd imagine VPN companies would comply if the order is sound)

Also for matters that involve delicated subjects, I'd suggest contacting relevant people by DMs/email, as to avoid unwanted attention to it/Streisand effect.

Jump

Auster @thebrainbin.org 4d ago

Maybe something to do with work? Afaik by February, most companies are back in action, and so maybe people are forced to switch back to Windows to do their jobs, including in some cases in their gaming rigs due to lack of work-exclusive machines.

Also the possibilities others already mentioned here sound as valid, and I second that months may have big fluctuations, but that may not relate to the growth tendency. And iirc GamingOnLinux has a graph on the growth tendency based on Valve's hardware surveys, though I don't have the link with me.

Linux gamers: Do you ever occasionally shut down your PC?

Jump

Auster @thebrainbin.org 5d ago

Energy ain't free, the additional lights fuck sleep schedule, blackouts may happen, the computer produces heat which wears its own pieces, chances are it will be kept online meaning greater risk of being hacked, computer on means more read-write operations which wear the memory down as Nutin said, and so on.

At most, maybe it'd be justifiable if it's downloading/running something which can't be stopped. Or another possibility though not a justification, the person isn't responsible towards his/her machine. Otherwise, I struggle to think of reasons not to turn it off.
