I have two cats. When I let them outside, both come when they’re called. One play fetch. The other one keeps me on schedule.
I consider getting my cats to do this stuff that every dog owner simply expects of their dog to be one of my greatest achievements in life. Doubly so since the one who plays fetch is a former feral.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•In a place without access to US apps and online services, how would you use the Internet?
1·8 days agoWell I guess I’d use a different Lemmy server. Probably a different Mastodon server too. I think I’d have the same Matrix server though, so that’s nice.

Linux@lemmy.ml•This Week in Plasma: new year, new accessibility features!
4·8 days agoBased on the actual bug report, because the people working on this are volunteers and the workaround is simple.
If you think fixing bugs like these is a worthwhile endeavour, chip in some money or volunteer. There are many ways for people volunteer that aren’t writing code, so if you aren’t a software developer don’t let that discourage you.
Does it matter? One of the nice things about being dead is that I don’t have to react to it.
This take is so cold it could make solid helium.
(I agree FWIW)
Shhhh no choose, only Kubuntu.

Yep. No one killer feature. Just a flood of tiny things that make my life better.
My phone has a “hold for me” option 🤷🏻

Linux@programming.dev•GitHub Takes Down Rockchip MPP Repository After FFmpeg Copyright Claim
7·16 days agoOh I’m not complaining that action was taken. The issue is that the tools available to us are antithetical to copyleft. All the takedown means is that nobody gets access to this code, whereas what we need is for everyone to get access to it under the proper license.

Linux@programming.dev•GitHub Takes Down Rockchip MPP Repository After FFmpeg Copyright Claim
14·16 days agoWe really need a better answer to stuff like this than DMCA takedowns. They make sense for someone who doesn’t want their stuff made available at all, but it’s kinda the opposite of what’s needed for copyleft violations.

Linux@programming.dev•New Runtime Standby ABI Proposed For Linux Akin To Microsoft Windows' "Modern Standby"
5·17 days agoTo be fair, Windows has had standby issues forever, so the only thing that’s different here from 20 years ago is that Linux does it reliably.

Linux@programming.dev•NVIDIA Drops Pascal Support On Linux, Causing Chaos On Arch Linux
141·17 days agoDoubly evil given that GPU prices are still ridiculous.






I think it’s also fair to say this can be considered research into his take on LLMs.
