If a site doesn’t work with adblock enables I don’t use it. I never turn that shit off. There is nothing on the internet I need to look at badly enough to do that. If the entire internet stopped working with adblockers I’d stop using it.

Programming@programming.dev•How are you fighting back against skill atrophy caused by AI at work?
5·3 days agoPersonally I don’t even work in anything that could be done with AI. All my tech stuff I do is hobbies. AI hasn’t yet penetrated the in person manual labor sector much.
I’m a big fan of this myself:

oh and who are you the Rock Wrangler? The Time Tempter? The Henge Handler?
One of the many reasons people like this are not happy imo is that theyre doing the same stuff they did as a kid. You need to go do things you’ve never done before. The brain needs new experiences. Get out of your comfort zone (and your house).
Maybe next time get your 5000 year old facts straight before making a silly internet comment buster
Whoa, whoa, whoa. I have to stop you right there buster. Stonehenge is not “religious nonsense” it is literally a way to keep track of celestial movement and track the solstices. This allowed for ancient peoples to track the change of seasons and properly plan their agricultural activities. It was entirely practical, and very good at its job as it still works today to an extent.
Pretty good at invading in general historically

World News@lemmy.world•US intelligence believes Jensen Huang had romantic relationship with Chinese spy in honeypot operation — spy suspect linked to company accused of smuggling $2 billion in AI chipsEnglish
24·6 days agoThis is, 100%, without a doubt, just a way for him to avoid legal liability for doing things of his own free will. He wasn’t complicit in smuggling! He was taken advantage of by that irresistible Chinese succubus! It’s her fault!
Now, I don’t really care. I think it’s great that he’s bypassing US sanctions. Altho I would prefer China have its own domestic chip manufacturing and not buy from companies like this, but until that is fully developed they need to get by somehow. But yeah this is the most obvious scapegoating I’ve ever seen.
In fact, I’d like NOBODY to buy from companies like this. NVIDIA should crash and fucking burn.

Game Development@programming.dev•Could a modern chess engine on a Pentium have defeated Kasparov in 1996?
3·7 days agoIsn’t that obvious? Like processor tech is doing the same thing Turings machine did for the most part just much much faster. Technically you could compute the operations of a chess engine by hand on paper and get the exact same outcome. It would just take… a very very long time. It’s just math.

Linux@programming.dev•Killed by Ubuntu, Linux Mint is Bringing This Classic Feature Back
1·10 days agothat is what my laptop uses. Why mine works and yours does not is very complicated. I looked into it a bit. Firstly, my laptop is a Dell Latitude 7400 (non 2 in 1 model). This supports both modes, but mine is configured to use s2idle. One of the huge pluses of this laptop is that is had a stock Ubuntu option when it was sold. You could get it shipped to you with Ubuntu preinstalled. Now, I don’t use Ubuntu I use Debian but the Dell firmware is still configured to support Linux out of the box. So Linux isn’t being treated as a 2nd class citizen for this laptop. It’s getting the VIP treatment just like Windows.
Another thing is my actual configuration. Thermals prior to sleep matter a lot. If you laptop is too hot it will fail to enter the sleep state it needs to. Meaning it stays hot and continues to run and dies fast. I have heavily modified my laptops thermals. I have the CPU capped at 2.5Ghz, I have tlp running, and I have high quality thermal pads added inside the chassis to spread heat around to the magnesium back plate. Because of these mods my laptop does not use its fan, and the CPU hovers around 50C passively while in use. This means I never have a problem with suspend due to thermals.
I also have components, like my SSD, that are modern and support deep sleep states. My SSD is a WD Black SN770 1TB. Which is both pretty power efficient and supports deep sleep states.
Another thing is that the tlp and powertop tweaks are preventing wakeup triggers that would pull it out of suspend. and of course the last big thing is just that I keep my firmware up to date. Dell released firmware specifically to fix modern standy issues and I have that update. Dell ships easy firmware updates to linux users and you can install them with a few clicks and a reboot. Another advantage of the Linux native support.
Really can’t reccomend the laptop enough if you want a used business class machine its great and you can find them for 200ish$.

Linux@programming.dev•Killed by Ubuntu, Linux Mint is Bringing This Classic Feature Back
1·10 days agoWell idk what about my setup isn’t modern? I guess my laptop is a few years old but its not that old. 2020 model. and I run debian stable so not bleeding edge but not crazy. My laptop is just one that ships with an ubuntu option and so it has good linux compatibility in general. So that probably helps.

Linux@programming.dev•Killed by Ubuntu, Linux Mint is Bringing This Classic Feature Back
13·11 days agoi can put my laptop into suspend and lose maybe 2% of battery per day at most. So hibernation seems a bit unnecessary. Maybe if your RAM is less efficient or something? Idk.

Privacy@programming.dev•Zero Breach Toolkit: A free, open-source check for traces of known mercenary spyware (Pegasus, Predator, Graphite, Candiru and others) on computers, Android phones and iPhone backups.
4·12 days agoim not that person but just let me chime in dont run this code on your pc. Its very sus.

Well I do have a blur thing on here. I edited Noctalia to remove the rounded corners. I like them sharp for this theme. It fits the fallout vibe more imo. Will have to try Umbriel out at some point but I’m pretty happy with the result I got from this theme for now.
does it have an overview?
Well niri is actually perfect for me because I am a gesture user. All my navigation is done with mousepad gestures.
Oh god. That’s atrocious lol.











As nice as it might be sitting in a comfy office chair will kill you. Just keep it in your mind that when you get old you are still gonna be able to enjoy life, and those people in office jobs will for the most part be winded after a visit to the grocery store. Just don’t do anything that will injure you or put you in physical danger. Your health is the most important thing.
