I don’t really care to argue about this, but isn’t this logically flawed? If machines will give a harder fight than trans people have, then does that not mean that they might succeed to gain rights even if trans people fail?

Maybe you’ve never been hungry enough.

If I had to guess the evolutionary mechanism here would be to stop animals from eating too quickly after a period of starvation.

I try to be happy about things rather than actively making myself mad about some ultimately completely irrelevant chud clown on the internet.

Why are you so angry? Maybe go be angry in the angry community rather than the Linux memes community.

At no point did I comment one way or the other on whether or not he is a nazi.

Firebrand leftist challenge (IMPOSSIBLE): don’t go on a tirade about nazis for one full conversation.

This post is proving that when you call someone a nazi half a dozen times in two paragraphs, it has quite the opposite effect than what you seek in people who aren’t as deep in the leftist bubble as you are.

Doesn’t just apply to nazis by the way. Make such an impassioned tirade against pretty much any person or thing hyperfocusing on one specific trait, and most listeners unfamiliar with the matter will be put on guard rather than convinced. “Why is this person so desperately trying to convince me about this? There must be more to this than they’re letting on.” Food for thought maybe.

I broke a display. More specifically, a shoddy Chinese NVR box broke the display’s main scaler chip by sending a voltage spike down the HDMI cable as it was being plugged in. It wasn’t an expensive display nor even mine (it was at the local hackerspace), but I was bummed out because it was one of the few good displays we had over there so I figured I’d see if I can fix it.

My knowledge of electronics isn’t great, though I’ve seen enough Louis Rossmann videos to know the basic principles, so I spent some time troubleshooting it with, and I expect this’ll get some flak given that this is Lemmy, the help of AI. I described the problem and what caused it to the AI, took some measurements off the board with its guidance and even figured out how to measure it with an oscilloscope to confirm the diagnosis. This way I could narrow the problem down to the main scaler chip – by all accounts a pretty common problem with this brand of monitor, though this one hadn’t failed so spectacularly.

I ordered a brand new chip from Aliexpress for a total of 15€. I did also find a full logic board on eBay, but it came to over 30€ with shipping and the photo showed it having red marker on top of the very chip I was looking to replace which made me suspect it could have failed QC or was torn out of a broken monitor, so I didn’t want to risk it.

After a couple of weeks the chip arrived and it was time to try my hand at BGA soldering for the first time ever. I couldn’t find a hot plate so I had to do the whole thing with just the hot air station making it harder than it should have been. I managed to tear off three pads taking the old chip off somehow and had to very carefully fix those with some fine copper wire carefully manipulated with tweezers and a crafts knife under the microscope. Against all odds after I got the new chip soldered in, the display worked perfectly on the first try. The success felt pretty ecstatic.

I’m just so tired of seeing 50 posts about this. If you use consoles in 2026 you have bigger problems than not having discs for your games. On PC physical media is unnecessary because you can just back up your files.

I think you’re thinking of 3D printed PLA which indeed typically isn’t food safe. Industrially produced PLA can be food safe and it’s used in a lot of food packaging, disposable cutlery etc.

I believe they increasingly use PLA which is a bioplastic. But yeah it used to be, and in many cases likely still is, polyethylene which is an oil product.

Next time you think of skipping alt text, think of the poor AI crawlers and all the unlabeled images they have to save.

What drivers does this use, stardard Mesa?

If humans interacted with sharks the same way we do with cows, sharks would definitely kill more people.

You can link your Steam and UPlay accounts so I wouldn’t rule out something like this being the case here without knowing more about the circumstances.

I don’t know if this is the same policy, but one thing Valve doesn’t let you do is sell Steam codes for cheap on external platforms, because that evades their platform fee while still using Steam for distribution and makes it hard for the Steam listing to compete (since it’s more expensive).

That might not apply here because I feel like Ubisoft has their own distribution infrastructure on UPlay, but it could be that they were selling the Steam version on UPlay for cheaper.

You mean like a big burl?

You also have to provide access to your computer so the attacker can produce labeled training data for the neural network that performs the pattern matching for the actual fingerprinting.

Because that’s what they did in the paper: they got the data and performed the attack on the same machine. There’s no evidence presented in the paper that this identification could be generalised to arbitrary machines and configurations without prior access.

So yes, this is a complete nothingburger.

I’m not seeing a link to Adolf Hitler on the bisexuality page.

Are they going to add Wayland support sometime this decade?
