Based on my memories of Alphabet City in the 1990s I assume that by now it’s all $15000/month luxury suites.

She took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they had been happy; and they clapped their hands.

First remote root exploit by simply putting “-froot” in the right place I’ve seen since like 1994.

Well, it’s not perfect but it’s better than the way federation works on twitter, or X, Bluesky, or — we can probably assume — on W.

The new platform, W, will require identification and photo validation to ensure that its users are both humans and who they claim to be

Kind of them to get that out of the way in the first sentence. No further reading required.

It’s fucking systemd again isn’t it

“Based on your writing style and recent emails we have decided that you are too old to be asking ChatGPT such stupid questions.”

Somebody, somewhere, is updating their list of all the old pre-fascism movies and TV shows that will need to be erased from the culture.

Maybe it’s been about 65 years since people started routinely driving cars every time they needed to go somewhere, and thus we no longer get so much practice walking around and tripping over things. The “vehicle miles traveled” data only goes back to 1970 but since then per capita driving in the USA is up by 80%.

What if we just vote on individual words, and then show them all in order of popularity?

What’s a media zombie? Someone who watches 7 hours of tiktok every day?

Good luck with your transition from porn bot to outrage bot.

It’s obviously the right idea, Cory’s been saying it to anyone who will listen for months if not years, but it would depend on governments doing something. How can it possibly happen then, if there aren’t powerful corporate interests hiring lobbyists to say it in a way that politicians can hear?

Poor Nvidia… the AI bubble is going to burst, the gamer market has all kinds of reasons to hate them now, and all they’ll have to console themselves with is several trillion dollars.

Okay I’m not surprised that C and Rust are popular, but I didn’t expect there to be so much Vala in there.

Device drivers are not like other software in at least one important way: They have access to and depend on kernel internals which are not visible to applications, and they need to be rebuilt when those change. Something as huge and complicated as a GPU driver depends on quite a lot of them. The kernel does not provide a stable binary interface for drivers so they will frequently need to be recompiled to work with new versions of linux, and then less frequently the source code also needs modification as things are changed, added to, and improved.

This is not unique to Linux, it’s pretty normal. But it is a deliberate choice that its developers made, and people generally seem to think it was a good one.

Nouveau might be good enough by now for most games that will run on a 1060, maybe worth a try.

The driver needs to interface with the OS kernel which does change, so the driver needs updates. The old Nvidia driver is not open source or free software, so nobody other than Nvidia themselves can practically or legally do it. Nvidia could of course change that if they don’t want to do even the bare minimum of maintenance.

They started 9 years ago, but they remained popular into 2020 and according to wikipedia the last new pascal model was released in 2022. The 1080 and the 1060 are both still pretty high up on the Steam list of the most common GPUs.
