@killyourfm I'm still wondering: why not have both, a public forum that's also accessible through a client that has chatrooms and voice channels for that community built-in?

It's all web tech anyway, literally nothing is stopping anyone from implementing things this way. We can have our cake and eat it too. How did we end up in this mess, with Discord enshittified but no properly working, comprehensive alternative (which isn't "go back to have 5 different apps").

Interesting. #Mistral #AI (from France 🇪🇺) is blocking any attempt of generating pictures of protected works. This even includes small independent artists without money and time to defend themselves, and seems to be baked into all of their free models. Like… the way it should be.

Silicon Valley companies like #OpenAI or #Meta of course do not give a shit and just generate whatever you ask as long it's not a real person. …except for Grok, that'll just generate whatever.

For context, the DDR4 stick began at about 25€ and the DDR5 stick at around 55€. A reasonable price gap for modern, more asked for technology.

What we have right now is just absurd.

Holy shit, I wasn't aware of the price differences between DDR4 and DDR5 RAM prices.

A single 16gb DDR4-2133 stick is listed for 55€.
A single 16gb DDR5-4800 stick is listed as 170€.

Both were the cheapest that were listed from german retailers (excluding AliExpress listings). Both have risen in price by about 250 to 300% in 3 months (DDR4 is just way cheaper).

Guess I'll stick with DDR4 systems in general for the foreseeable future. They're still powerful enough even for heavy gaming anyway.

@besendorf Yeah, what the ISP can see are merely the servers you connect to (and of course could do a reverse DNS thingy if they want to know the service behind it). If they can see your traffic you do something seriously wrong though.

(like using chinese apps, as I just learned at 39C3. Apparently well over 50% don't encrypt at all, and those who do often use really weird custom stuff full of bugs)

"I ship code that I've never read."
"Shipping at the speed of inference"

Statements made up by the utterly insane.

Developer appreciation time!

@gamingonlinux What's your take on the gen AI voices (and most likely more, let's be real) in that game? I'm surprised to see you're advertising things containing AI slop.
(Not the voice communication changer but the NPC and map marker voice lines)

@ScriptFanix @hellomiakoda Nobody said anything about being able to move.

@nicholas @kaia @newt Credit where credit's due, Gnome got a high level of integration. Meaning that, after you add your Emails, Nextcloud etc. in the Online accounts, you got the whole suite of tools actually working with them (Contacts, Calendar, File Explorer with Cloud Storage access, etc.). KDE's attempt at it is rather pitiful.

Meaning you might as well skip Gnome and use e.g. Cinnamon, who use the Gnome Online Accounts backend in their DE with objectively better UX. :thisisfine:

@newt @kaia That understates all the work that was put into all things Linux in the recent years.

@davidrevoy Why were you forced though? Do I miss something? 🤔

At some point I set up a phone auto-caller that attempts to get through to doctors' offices and federal agencies for me… this gets ridiculous.

@fabos @kaia It'a just a phase, kaia just didn't have a proper gun yet!

@nazokiyoubinbou @kde Please don't try to talk for everyone on this, only yourself. Thanks.

I'm so annoyed by my headset falling off all the time I gonna Blender-And-3D-Print the problem away.

My dude, the technology already exists *and is in use* in contrast to your belief, so do ships that run on a mix of wind, electricity and renewable fluids for classical motors when the wind is too low even for those modern sails. It's just not wanted for economical reasons.

@gcvsa @Zimme83 @hart You should really, REALLY inform yourself before being so brazenly and confidently wrong.

The doctor I go to… they don't have ANY email address, not even upon request or for patients… they only have fax.

TELEFAX.

@kaia Add white noise and it looks like analogue satellite TV during a thunderstorm.
