This needs to happen with Cloudflare and Google executives. Its the only way to fix the internet. You know its true. Note the date in this picture, there's a whole generation of Zoomers on /g/ that don't remember the original battle of the internet. Also when Steve Jobs announced Internet Explorer for Mac was one of the few times his reality distortion field broke and he was booed.

So I have a XAMPP installation on this network (running on win7 because im in a 3rd world shithole), it works but it cannot access one of the network drives, it cannot see it. It can access a diferent one, so its not like it cannot use net resources. I checked the user permits and it should be able to open it. The only diference is that the drive it can open is an SSD, but I doubt its that.
Has anyone had any such weirnesses with XAMPP?

What's the big hype about COSMIC from System76? Aren't they just re-inventing the wheel by recreating GNOME and splintering the Linux community even further by causing contributors to stop contributing to GNOME and contribute to COSMIC instead? Why do people hype this thing so much?

>look at netflix
your own fault for being gay. There is nothing on Netflix or any other paid sub video service that is worthy of time. Let alone money.
>amazon
tis a bit of a shame, they just don't wanna lose profits, but they will. Amazon is not as big as people think it is and people are slowly cancelling their overexpensive prime subs. Give it time, young padavan.
>Uber
your own fault for being a cock loving cum guzzler. I've never used, don't plan to, and perhaps never will use uber. I have my own car. Suck those throbbers, nerds.
>literally anything
literally anything is not a paid sub. I'm paying exactly 0 subscriptions a month in a first world western country. And my life is great. Imagine that. There are also ad blocks, anon.
>i don't think it's a stretch to assume windows will follow suit at some point.
You're right, it is not a stretch. But, the moment mydickissoft will engage into the retarded sub faggotry, the market share of Linux will skyrocket. There are already paid for and free distros for different purpose anyway. Multiple families. Or people will go to high seas for their subs.
>attract users with good service
windows doesn't do that. There is literally 0 fucking different for my parents between their PC, laptop, tablet, tv, and smartphone. It just werks and they have no idea what the fuck an OS/Kernel is and which they have installed. It's enough for browsing and youtube for them. (with ad blocks obv).

You can flock to something without that something being a unified operating system. Your problem is you're trying to be a pedantic little shit without even being "technically correct". Try again.

Do you agree that we need to hold back on developing these overpowered CPUs/GPUs and focus on improving energy efficiency?

https://www.techradar.com/computing/its-time-for-amd-intel-and-nvidia-to-call-a-truce-on-the-performance-arms-race-and-focus-on-sustainability-and-efficiency

>For consumers who are barely tapping into the performance that an Nvidia RTX 4080 Super brings to the table, much less what an RTX 4090 or AMD RX 7900 offers, you have to ask if this kind of performance is worth the cost in terms of carbon emissions.

>And of course, this is only in terms of useful work, like video editing or gaming, and not for something like cryptocurrency mining, which has at best a marginal social utility, and whose cost in terms of energy usage in the aggregate far outstrips any practical benefit cryptocurrency has (unless you're really into criminal activity or need to launder some money).

>Regular old processors aren't immune either, with the current generation of Intel processors soaking up an extraordinary amount of energy. What you get for that energy draw is some incredible performance numbers, but for 97-98% of users, this kind of performance is absolutely unnecessary, even if users are using the appropriate processor for their needs.

>As hard as it may be to hear or accept, these three chipmakers must acknowledge that we don't have a performance problem, we have a sustainability problem. They should turn away from squeezing even more performance out of their hardware that we don't need, and give us the efficiency that is desperately needed, especially when these marginal increases in power are coming at far too high a cost.

>Some power users and enthusiasts might not like seeing decreasing power usage while maintaining roughly the same level of performance gen-on-gen, or slightly better performance but far less than with previous generations, but it's what needs to be done, and the sooner everyone acknowledges this and adapts, the better.

Yeah you don't need a GUI for pipewire, I can play audio in TTY on my PC or in Termux on my phone for example. Install mpv and yt-dlp, then use this script and you can play anyYouTube audio:
#!/bin/bash
mpv --no-video "ytdl://ytsearch:$*"

Put it in some folder in your home dir and add that folder to your PATH to have it work as a command accessible from anywhere at any time.

DEs usually come with a lot of utilities and most of the time you have to uninstall one to install another, tho the configurations should be saved hopefully. I personally haven't gotten much into configuring DEs as I prefer WMs but if you want to DE hop I recommend something like Arch which comes with no DE by default since it'll be way easier to get support online for configuring them. On my phone at least I used Termux with termux-x11 and got xfce4 to run within an app on my phone very easily with a single command and it works flawlessly, but as I said not sure how complicated it gets when you want to switch from one larger DE to another

im trying to make a local testing setup where i need to check for various network conditions, and frankly the tools on windows and mac are rather shit, and i also need to check mobile stuff, so that wont fly
what i can up with is a debian server on a small machine or laptop, configured so it would connect to my wifi, and split/control the connections/traffic for the other stuff
its been a hot 10 years since i last had to configure a debian server with firewall, routing and all that fancy stuff, and I1ve heard nowadays people just use tc or pfsense
What would be the best way to go about this, and what would be needed for it/how to do it?
main point would be to able to test various conditions when i only have access to wifi, and need it small as i would be on the move too along with home testing

is anyone else already completely fucking sick of every company trying to cram their shitty chatgpt clones into their products? ever since about a year ago when chatgpt started getting more mainstream, it seems that everyone is cluttering their services with the most useless ai features. there is no reason i would ever ask an ai such as chatgpt a question that i could just google or something and get better results faster. the only reason that this is happening is because all of the elon musk dick worshiper techbros on twitter think “its the future, bro!!1!!” this phenomenon as well as the recent announcement that windows 11 will soon have built in ads was the final straw that made me switch to linux.

I went to a couple conference/conventions. I went to Shmoocon and the first talk was a fed honey pot to use a TOR browser extension. Most people were more interested in hanging out at the bar and chit-chatting rather than learning. It was a giant waste of money and time to be honest with you.

Lots of faggots and troons. I think conferences are mostly pissing contests.

Alright, time to play Destiny 2 on my $300 X-box series S and only use my $1300 PC for storing my music library, fooling around with 3D modeling, cleaning up shitty jpegs from twitter, and turning 45-second webm videos into 1.2GB GIFs because i like the look of bayer matrixes and the 8-bit depth convieniently removes compression artifacts.

i mean, what kind of idiot would play vidya on their PC? don't you know that vidya comes with anti-cheat that's practically kernel-level spyware? wouldn't you rather use the 200 GB of space that a modern AAA game takes up for something else?

Interestigly modern HDDs can actually beat QLC SSDs in writes by quite a margin. Once slc cache runs out it drops to something like 55MiB/s, or if you're out of TRIMblocks something like 13MiB/s, while HDD will keep chugging along at 220MiB/s all day every day without wearing out
