I just want to buy home automation gadgets that don’t need a bloody cloud account to work.

I think car automation peaked at adaptive cruise control. It’s a simple tractable problem that’s generally well confined and improves the drivers ability to concentrate on other road risks.

For portability Vulkan is the way (it also gets you GPU compute for free without needing vendor libraries). That said the ruttabaga encapsulation is useful for things like Wayland over virtio-gpu which is useful for some use cases.

I should note for even closer to native performance you want virtio-gpu with native context. Patches for that are currently being reviewed on the mailing list: https://patchew.org/QEMU/20241024233355.136867-1-dmitry.osipenko@collabora.com/

It depends what they want to do. They can fork and take on the burden of maintaining the whole tree in which case good luck with that, linux is too much of a fire hose to enable a 3rd party to assemble something similar making different choices about what they merge. Otherwise they can maintain a re-based fork that tracks the Torvalds tree and then congratulations you’ve just invented a feature tree that can do contribution with extra steps.

I don’t think algorithms themselves are to blame but what they are tuned for. While engagement/eyeball hours for the adserver is the prime metric the quality of experience will be subservient to it. If the algorithms could better measure your mood and stimulation levels and maximise for that the effect would be less toxic. Ideally if it realised you were just mindlessly consuming it could suggest maybe you’ve done enough today and to try something else. But that I fear that is not something the owners of the various ecosystems want.

He has certainly been weirdly selective in the data he quotes while trying not to come across as complete loon.

I remember programming the VCR when VHS was first a thing and I’m definitely not nostalgic for it. It was the best most people could afford at the time but it certainly wasn’t good.

When did people get nostalgic for the crappy analogue definition that was VHS? What’s next betamax special editions?

I don’t quite follow what this is. Is it a from scratch implementation of the vscode experience or a fork which has removed propriety bits and telemetry?

Lemmy really needs to support post combining somehow so you can see the story once (and maybe even combine the threads in the UI?).

Ok I fail to see how battering kids helps them develop a bond of trust with the carers.

I’m not sure how assaulting children is ever going to build an effective relationship between kids and their parents. Parents should represent safety and unconditional love because then the educational message will have an easier time being accepted by the kids.

Is the hardware support for Raspberry Pi still out of tree or can I use an upstream build now on my Pi 4?
