The only one I’ve heard of working really well was 3D printing copyrighted material that is usually way overpriced. Board game pieces, figurines, etc.

Disclaimer: I wrote this article and made this website.

There was some talk of this issue in the recent fediverse inefficiencies thread. I'm hopeful that in the future we'll have a decentralized solution for file hosting but for now I deeply believe that users should pay for their own file hosting.

You forgot to mention the Roman Empire

Credit scores didn’t exist but credit bureaus date back to the mid 1800s in the USA. Also, as others have mentioned creditors would do their due diligence and try to assert that you would be able to pay back your loans by doing many of the same things they do now.

This really isn’t some new, crazy concept like you’re making it out to be. The score has only simplified the process.

VRR isn’t supported by default by most distros. Just because it works with your setup doesn’t mean it works for others.

Also, this event seems to be primarily focused on AMD/Mesa support.

You’re asking a question that nobody has an answer to.

It’s both unethical and illegal.

I remember talking to an older fella about his experience becoming a programmer back in the 60s (I think). He told me that he decided it was time to start a career so he went to a nearby IBM office and asked for a job. They gave him an aptitude test and then hired him the same day. He wrote code for their mainframes until he retired.

I have a hard time believing that an IQ test is a serious measure of attention.

You’ve definitely given us enough information to make a decision. This is actually an alien probe.

I thought that it was overall good fun. The battle system is excellent and the music is great. The characters are cool and generally quite enjoyable. However, the standard ending of the game really annoyed me. It’s totally anti-climactic. I really don’t want to go back and do a bunch of side quests (collectathon in particular) to unlock the true ending.

I don’t understand how they could be taking such a big loss on those accounts. Federal reserve rates are above 5%…

Also, it’s hard to feel bad for the bank taking a billion dollar loss when they have like 1.5 trillion dollars in assets.

I'm using KDE Neon with the latest version of Plasma. Sometimes I get a warning that my SSD has poor health and may die soon. When I check the SMART stats the drive seems fairly healthy. Is this just a Plasma bug?

Have any of you gotten XeSS mods working with Starfield? They seem to either do nothing or make my game crash.

Hello everyone. I've read some posts before about Linux behaving poorly when using multiple monitors that have a different refresh rate.

Does anybody here know if X11 + AMDGPU + Mesa + Gnome handles this correctly? I'm thinking of getting a high refresh rate monitor (120hz+) while keeping my secondary at 60hz.

There’s no reason that a monolith can’t scale. In fact you scale a monolith the same way you scale micro services.

The real reason to use micro services is because you can have individual teams own a small set of services. Lemmy isn’t built by a huge corporation though so that doesn’t really make sense.
