That would all depend on both the Linux kernel accepting that to the upstream (which, let's remember crowdstrike), and each distro not removing it. I sincerely doubt that is what this role is. This role is much more likely how to make anti cheat work in linux somehow without kernel access.

Which also doesn't make sense to me, we already have a few anti-cheats on Linux

It’s been nearly 20 years since Google revealed Android

Right off the bat it's incorrect.

Look, I don't enjoy EA, they've killed several of my franchises, but what we shouldn't do is demonize them for attempting to migrate to Linux. If a huge gaming company is taking Linux seriously it's something we should celebrate. It means we're making an impact

Yeah this stuff was never impossible before, it's just easy to digest now.

Nothing too exciting, it's a killswitch which disables mic and camera

Update: I installed 3 separate (large) banking apps and all worked without a hitch, absolutely no problems

This was a big worry for me switching over. I can say that I've set up 3 separate (large) banks and all three have functioned without a hitch. I think microG is doing a lot of lifting, it basically manages that attestation

They also completely ignore that they had free training for green energy jobs, because they killed off all of that free training so they could keep saying "they're terking ther jerbs"

I disagree with the other commenter. Your male friend is irrelevant, it comes down to trust, does your boyfriend trust you. I don't like the opinion of the commenter of "Just dump him", that's a very throwaway concept. (Something isn't perfect? Throw it out of your life. I don't like that line of thinking)

I think you should communicate with your boyfriend, ask him why he feels that way, and ask why he feels like he can't trust you. It's a dialogue you two need to have. It won't be a fun one, but if you both want the relationship to work you'll come out stronger. (If he tries to say things like "He's waiting for his turn", turn it around, make it about you and him. "But do you trust me"?) You then give him time to learn and adjust to it. Of course if he refused to learn or adjust, and it doesn't work, then it becomes a more serious decision.

My anecdote, I was your boyfriend for a long time. My SO, now spouse, was hanging out with someone who was clearly interested. To make it worse, I had been cheated on before so it was a massive trigger for me, and I was immediately paranoid (cheating really fucks with your trust). I grew jealous and it became very unhealthy. If my SO took the other commenter's advice, we wouldn't have the life we have now. Thank god they didn't, and instead talked to me, and gave me the ability to learn and grow. I learned to trust her, and worked on myself, and now 15 years later we're both very happy and have built a life together.

This unfortunately I can't answer as I haven't traveled since I got it, but if fi works I would assume it would still work there. From what I understand that's more about the antenna in the phone and the coverage, and the antenna works with the standard T-Mobile network

Haven't run into any sites that don't work, but I did install Firefox with ublock like my last phone, and so haven't used the built-in browser much. FF handles everything perfectly, and no ads.

Haven't tried banking apps, I'll download a couple tonight and try them out and report back

 

I was hesitant for a long time, but I'm not using the Murena Fairphone 6 here in the states. I see a lot of people hesitant about it, will it work for X or Y, etc. Suprisingly there are very very few things that haven't worked for me, it's mostly a fork of LineageOS with microG.

Still, I wanted to open a forum for folks who are ready to leave Google thanks to them killing off installing your own apps, maybe my experience will help those who are questioning if they should or not

 

I've been dealing with it for a while, but they just force pushed a confusing mess of an update that added this horrid windowing system, leaving my SO and I both frustrated with it. I've flashed lineage a few times, anyone have a recommended ROM or alt for the Galaxy Tab S9 (sm-x710). Will unfortunately probably need gaps, or at least microg

 

Turns out the guy is a hypocrite, and has violated several laws himself harassing his victims with mocking images, and telling them to commit suicide (and worse). Louis is asking us to reinforce his complaints to the NY/CA bar. It's definitely worth a watch

 

I'm all for it, absolutely strike, but...

I think it's too late. The time to strike was years ago against the obvious bad decisions of upper management. Stock price is less than a dollar, the company IPs are worthless

Better late than never I guess

 

We have another event that invites people over to our side!

Amazon's Fallout countdown delivers possibly the only thing more pointless than a New Vegas or Fallout 3 remaster

 

I've been an AI realist from the start. What can the models actually do? What are the limitations? Ultimately, I think there is a place in the market for them - for people who understand the limitations of them and know when they're spewing BS.

I am not shocked at all that OpenAI (and Microsoft being one of it's largest shareholders) is burning cash and suddenly is realizing it may not be able to make good on it's promises. AI reality vs AI hype. Us actual tech people have known since the beginning this was all hype, now finance people are starting to notice (about time).

 

Inspired by the post about cold-war era holiday specials, what creepy cartoons or claymations scarred you for life?

For me it was Twas the Night Before Christmas . The animation was too goofy and I swear my Megalophobia comes partly from the clock tower in that show. I don't know why but it made me so uneasy that even now large clock towers make me feel weird.

 

JeffTek, a small creator made "What Happened To Linus Tech Tips" last week, going over some of the public issues of the channel and it's falling out. (Main link on this thread, also here ) IMO very fair, straight to the facts, a bit of his own opinion in there, but he defended Linus on multiple steps too.

Linus catches wind and goes to R_ddit, putting the guy on blast for "rehashing things from the past". Not wrong... but weird for the CEO to do this directly in a Reddit thread.

JeffTek now responds to the comments in his latest video.

 

Currently I have random docs/how-tos for my network stored in a forgejo repo, just a bunch of READMEs. I'd like to somehow make that a bit more official, I like writing it in markdown/git and having source control, but was wondering if anyone has a good wiki tool they like that can consume that and make it more hostable? Thanks!
