I do not want my passenger aircraft to move fast and break things thank you very much.

But I understand what you meant

The case that this is true is only if you don't have an Nvidia GPU or don't play D3D12 games.

I tried it, discovered that Nvidia has a known regression that causes anywhere up to 25% lower performance compared to Windows in GPU limited games in D3D12, and immediately went back to Windows.

I'll never understand why people keep championing Linux for gaming when it has such a severe regression on the most common gaming GPU vendor. Steam says 75%. An Nvidia employee even stated that the fix is not trivial so they're not committing to a timeline for a fix. This is a year+ old issue. They're never fixing it because it doesn't affect CUDA.

I think that's more because we don't have better options than anything else.

Yeah I know but I feel like whenever I mention DeepSeek and don't say that I always get the most Anti-China bros in my face lol

I think theres still lots of room for huge jumps in many metrics. It feels like not too long ago that DeepSeek demonstrated that there was value in essentially recycling (Stealing, depending on your view) existing models into new ones to achieve 80% of what the industry had to offer for a fraction of the operating cost.

Researchers are still experimenting, I haven't given up hope yet that there will be multiple large discoveries that fundamentally change how we develop these LLMs.

I think I agree with the idea that current common strategies are beginning to scrape the bottom of the barrel though. We're starting to slow down a tad.

Musk was always one of those "both sides" libertarian tech bros that usually just end up right wing. Well before he became a household name with SpaceX and Tesla.

It reminds me of the joke: "libertarians are just Republicans who smoke weed"

Well, building a case for an early release on good behavior is something he definitely burned here. But he's got a long sentence. He can start building that from square one again. Maybe.

I'm usually very critical of how Torvolds treats the people around him and the culture he maintains but this is a rare case when I'm not really against Torvalds on this.

I've had to remove Hector's postings from my feeds because he just constantly bitches and complains about pretty much everything. He's capable, smart, and is doing more than anybody ever will for Apple hardware. But he desperately needs to Stop Posting. Without anybody he works with regularly to give him a reality check, I don't think he's going to change course.

I think Hector has some valid complaints about the contribution process to the kernel, I know. It fucking sucks ass and I've given up on trying. But screaming the way he does is counter productive to improving it

Why would you assume that the 10% of non standard browsers are going to buy anything?

Demographic is important here. If I was running a shop that sold software for Linux users, sure. If I'm running a store that sells pretty much anything else? I'm not caring.

I was really hoping for this too.

I love WFH and I hope I never have to work in an office again. I was hoping the obvious financial efficiency improvements would have made the concept stick more and enable more mobility in the US

unfortunately it looks like we couldn't get over our need for employee control even for types of work that is largely online anyways. I'm still sad that it isn't likely to grow much.

Is it particularly surprising though?

These are game developers. Not backend developers. Not web guys. Not remotely trained in infosec. They make games. Not security software. And for the longest time this was acceptable.

I think for a GaaS in 2025 it's unacceptable to not have security minded engineers on staff for the backend stuff. Too much money is involved not to. Especially for studios very familiar with shipping online games.

But I'm also kind of disappointed in how much we're forgetting that these people are not infosec nerds. Last year there was a cute fishing game made by a single dude messing around making things. It got popular and a kid found an RCE bug with the multiplayer. The dude got a TON of shit for the flaw, which feels deeply unfair. I don't expect my mom to configure a router correctly. I don't expect video game developers to understand defensive network programming without training.

Maybe I'm just a little frustrated at the Internet largely unable to understand that defensive programming is something that isn't in a game devs trained skills. I would expect better of Netease however

Does that unblock whoever got blocked by the rogue blocklist?

It shares the same problem that Twitter had years ago back when it supported API blocklists.

Everybody you're blocking is at the whims of the blocklist owner, and it didn't take long for those people to go insane and use their lists as a tool for their own personal unrelated crusades.

Bluesky is already starting to experience this from a few I saw going around

I'm not really sure that's possible. Cohost tried and well, they died.

The nature of social media just leads to it's very unhealthy problems. By taking away the ability for social media to make viral posts, you take away a lot of the reason people use it. To see popular posts and memes. Then nobody uses it, so nobody sees the ads, so advertisers leave, etc etc.

Personally, I'd be happy if we all went back to interest forums that aren't reddit. But I'm not going to pretend that age is going to come back without deeply overreaching legislation.

Being aromantic isn't reason to see a therapist. Which it certainly sounds like they fit the bill for.

Because "user first" orgs like cohost have learned the hard way that the money math doesn't work out when your service gets even a few users. Lots of hidden costs to running social media.

Then you have the other end, mastodon and federation. At the very least, solves the user culture problem somewhat but does not solve the hidden costs of hosting and moderation at all. Especially if you get a sudden influx of users.

IMO VC money, corporate money, whatever you want to call it, is more or less required to run social media at scale.
