It’s the Financial Times. Taxes are a cancer for them.

Obama had started. But Trump reversed.

Rationally speaking, the whole purpose of sanctions is to sanction the whole population of the country in order to get the government of the country to change it’s policies. And when it comes to sanctions, companies and entities doing business with the sanctioned countries are themselves sanctioned. So Linus had no choice but to remove the Russian contributors.

We’re talking about a real situation, not about what would be better.

It’s not racism. They have to follow the LAW.

The new o1-preview model gave me much better and more precise answers than the 4o model.

I think the professor himself is fed up with the situation, because as a researcher he is forced to publish his articles to for-profit publishers, who are basically the mafia gatekeepers, who profit from information that should be open to everyone. And the university profits from this lucrative business.

This Youtube video will open your eyes to this business: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKiBlGDfRU8

But he is right. As long as a distro is maintained by one individual, it is at risk of being discontinued at any time he can no longer maintain it.

For old posts. I can’t find new posts on DDG. I find them on Google but not on DDG.

Yup.

Sound advice. During my first year of computer science, one of my professors told me that programming languages are just a tool to solve a problem. The logic to solve it is the key. Whether it’s Java, Python, Go, etc. If you don’t know how to tell the computer what to do, you can’t program anything in any language.

I like to think of instances as countries. Each instance has its own rules and culture, and that affects how the communities are moderated. For example, the beehaw.org instance is heavily moderated compared to lemmy.world. Continuing with our example, the Technology community on beehaw.org will be moderated differently than the Technlology community on Lemmy.world.

So each instance has its own reason for existing. Another example will be https://lemmynsfw.com/ which is an 18+ instance. Basically, when you register in an instance, you become a citizen of that country.

So in summary, each instance has its own rules, its own policies, its own culture, and the moderators of the community that is that instance are bound by them. So [email protected] is not the same as [email protected].

Indeed. I have an AMD video card and multi-monitor VRR works beautifully in Wayland. But unfortunately, according to some replies (and yours), Nvidia doesn’t support it yet.

It’s really unfortunate. Multi-monitor VRR is a must as I’m a gamer and I’d like my second monitor to be active when I’m playing, so I can use Discord and browse game guides, for example. I think I’ll continue to buy AMD graphics cards until this issue is resolved.

You can always use Endeavour OS. It’s Arch with a nice installer and some utilities already installed to make it easier to use and maintain. It uses Arch repositories, so for all intents and purposes, it is Arch. Manjaro is not.

Which is why I ask people one simple question: do they plan to game. If they plan to game, I don’t recommend them Mint. If they aren’t, I recommend them Mint.

I think you meant to answer OP.

Indeed. Nouveau simply does not have the gaming performance of Nvidia’s proprietary driver.

Are you into gaming? If not, then it is perfectly fine to run the nouveau driver.

Many people are not activists like Richard Stallman. Perhaps it’s better to run libre software, but it’s perfectly reasonable to also run proprietary software.

For example, I switched to Linux when I could run proprietary games on Proton.

I’m using Manjaro. Firefox is the distro’s default browser.
