I’d argue it depends on who is serving it and what their intentions are. I don’t think it’s necessarily bad. I went to a local Juneteenth celebration and the food stands were serving some fried chicken, collard greens, jollof rice, etc.

Nothing particularly, but it would let LW and other instances distance themselves from the lemmy.ml admins.

Tbh this is one of the reasons why I’m looking forward toward Sublinks

I look at the contributors on Github and check them out. I’ll check out what else they’ve worked on and maybe see if they have an account on mastodon or twitter. Maybe I’ll ask some friends if they’ve used or heard of the product, or know of the devs.

There is indeed malware disguised as OSS and you do sometimes have to vet them. I’ll skim the codebase and see if there’s anything that looks weird or funky, but that’s not perfect (like in the case of the xz) and some stuff can slip by.

I was running out of RAM on my 16GB system for years (just doing normal work tasks), so I finally upgraded to a new laptop with 64GB of RAM. Now I never run out of memory.

I’m not sure off-hand since I’m not too familiar with VLC.

I would imagine it could be an issue in a graphics driver at the kernel (amdgpu?) or user level (mesa?). It could also be a problem in something higher up.

I would recommend posting an issue in the VLC repo and see if you can get better support that way.

Can you turn off hardware decoding and see if it works then?

You could write C or assembly and it would be compiled to something that would run on an embedded chip. They may or may not be running an RTOS.

Learned how drivers worked and fixed a driver for an USB to I2C chip. It’s still buggy but at least it sorta works now.

Some more details: I was using a CH347 (USB to UART/SPI/I2C) and there was an open source driver that used a previous chip version. The original dev had hardcoded the bulk IO endpoints indices. The only change I had to do was just iterate over the endpoints and search for the correct ones. But at first, I didn’t understand anything about how the USB subsystem worked and how drivers were loaded. All I could tell was the USB device was correctly detected but the I2C driver wasn’t being loaded, despite proper udev rules, correct vendor/product IDs, etc.

Maybe there’s something that I’m still missing, but the genders could be any which way and it would still give the same meaning: fucking or screwing someone over. It’s vulgar and tasteless but I don’t think it is necessarily homophobic or misogynistic.

It does simply imply someone is being (sexually) dominated by another, but there’s no placement of “good” or “bad”—just that Microsoft users are being dominated by Microsoft, which is roughly true. I do think it’s a crude analogy and a terrible meme, but to say it’s anything more seems like a stretch.

I lived nextdoor to a massive section 8 apartment and never had any problems fwiw. Sucks that you had a hard time but it’s definitely a ymmv thing.

Just because someone is using a voucher doesn’t mean they’re going to attract crime. Where I lived, it was mostly immigrants that were new to the country.

What do you mean? It’s: landlords cannot discriminate against renters using housing vouchers. As in: landlords cannot deny renters just because of they’re paying rent with vouchers.

Most of the embedded world uses those.

These would be great for backups if they’re cheap enough.

Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Yuzu has any proprietary code. Folks have to go to other websites to download the Switch firmware and keys needed to play games.
