Sounds like a good time to be a VPN provider.
Probably trying to paint a narrative that Zelensky is undemocratic and corrupt, which some people in the US might believe.
I wonder how many people actually have a problem with this. Very few I'd suspect. Zelensky still seems popular within Ukraine, and I think most would agree that this isn't a good time for a change in leadership. Plus elections are expensive and nobody in the occupied space would be able to vote. Yeah I think this was the right call.
Beyond what everyone else has said, it has already been shown that LLMs have a chance of regurgitating training data, which means that someone's personal data could get returned in a Bing Chat query.
Done the third
Right? I don't know anything about Welder's Eye, but I know ultraviolet light is invisible to humans, so I'd imagine that most people present wouldn't notice anything wrong until hours later. Once you know this can happen, you just have to trust that all the places you go aren't putting your health at risk. Insane.
I thought Apple products didn't get malware, how could they ever get a keylogger? /s
That whole idea of marketing Apple's products as immune to malware has probably done wonders at making users complacent about their security.
Yeah I don't get it. If you go on c/Christianity, half the posts have more downvotes than upvotes, and it causes a bunch of people to be inactive. They have over 100 members but nobody posting.
I miss r/Christian, there are very few of us on Lemmy, the communities seem basically empty here.
It seems like the number of people who want to have that community, and the number of people who want to downvote any post that supports Christianity, are roughly equal here.
Hold on, the kid from Home Alone works for Facebook now?
ReVanced is by far one of the best solutions.
Nope, that's not what uBlock is saying. YouTube rolls out new adblock detection several times a day. uBlock can't stop it instantly, it takes time for the devs to adjust their code. So for a few hours, YouTube's detection works. If you haven't been caught yet, then it means you've been lucky to get the rollout after uBlock already had a fix. Some of us aren't that lucky. Last week, I got an early rollout several hours before uBlock had a patch. Turned off all my extensions, used default uBlock settings, all their suggestions, had no effect. A few hours later, uBlock had a fix and I didn't see YouTube's block anymore.
This sounds like something out of the Fazbear Frights books.
Pixel 4a owners, what new phone are you buying?
As of last month, the Pixel 4a is no longer getting software updates, and will be missing out on Android 14.
It was a really great phone, mine still runs very well. It has a smooth, stock Android install, a headphone jack, and a perfectly positioned fingerprint scanner. My battery is still at 2/3 capacity compared to when I bought it 3 years ago.
Really wanted to try a custom ROM like Lineage, but it seems that Google Apps are a must for me. So, what should I replace my 4a with?
Currently leaning towards the Pixel 8 or 7a, especially with the rumor that Pixel 8 will have 7 years of software updates. Still, I will miss my headphone jack. But at least I'll have quick software updates and call screening.
Edit: Pixel 4a did NOT receive the September 2023 security update, so it seems updates are definitely over.
Edit: I specifically need Google Pay since my university uses it instead of physical ID cards. Unfortunately, it has spotty support on custom ROMs, Id rather just get a new phone.
How likely is this to work? KVM/VFIO Single GPU Passthrough
I've been wanting to make a proper switch over to Linux for a while now. I've currently have a dual-boot setup but still mostly use Windows. The majority of my games should work without fuss, but I'd like to have a simple solution for running the handful of things that don't work in Linux, such as my WMR VR headset and a handful of Steam games.
Linked is a video on Single GPU passthrough with KVM/VFIO, which I'd like to try.
Before I try this, I'd like a sense of how likely it is to work, and I'm wondering if there might be a better solution I don't know of. I'm also open to any tips you might have about speeding up the transition between Host/Guest OS.
Here are the specs of my machine:
Motherboard: MSI B550 A-Pro
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (no integrated graphics)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070
RAM: 32GB DDR4 3200MHz
Host OS: Manjaro
Guest OS: Windows 10 Pro
How low should graphics settings go?
Lately we've been talking about games not performing well enough on current hardware. It's had me wondering just what we should be asking for. I think the basic principle is that components from the last 5 years should be adequate to play current-generation titles at 1080p60. Not at max settings, of course, but certainly playable without resorting to DLSS and FSR.
It makes me wonder: is it really so much to ask? There are games from 10+ years ago that still look great or at least acceptable. Should we expect new games like Starfield to be configurable to be as demanding as an older game like Portal 2 or CS:GO. If the gameplay is what really matters, and games of the 2010s looked good then, why can't we expect current games to be configurable that low?
From what I've seen, users of the GTX 1070 need to play Starfield at 720p with FSR to get 60fps. What's better? Getting 60fps by playing at 720p with FSR, or playing at 1080p with reduced texture resolution and model detail?
It shouldn't even be that hard to pull off. It should be possible to automatically create lower detail models and textures, and other details can just be turned off.
Borealis Crossover Game Idea
When Marc Laidlaw posted Epistle 3, commonly read as the plot he intended for Half-Life 2: Episode 3, he included references to events which were happening within Aperture during the Seven Hour War. He described scientists attempting to prevent the Combine forces from taking the Borealis, the research ship that was constructed in the drydock in Old Aperture.
I think this plot point might make for an interesting game. Imagine GLaDOS commanding an army of portal-gun-wielding robots to defend the enrichment center from waves of alien commandoes. The game could be a hybrid between Portal's puzzles and Half-Life's combat. What do you all think?
How do the demographics of Lemmy differ from those of Reddit?
I've noticed that technology discussion is more commonplace on Lemmy than I remember from Reddit.
In what other ways might our demographics be different than Reddit and from other sites?
I died not long after this.
I've been playing block game for 10 years. This is my dumbest moment ever.
Should Lemmy have Karma?
Another Reddit refugee here,
I think we're all familiar with the Karma system on Reddit. Do you think Lemmy should have something similar? Because I can see cases for and against it.
For: a way to tracking quality contributions by a user, quantifying reputation. Useful to keep new accounts from spamming communities.
Against: Often not a useful metric, can be botted or otherwise unearned (see u/spez), maybe we should have something else?
What do you all think?
