So, are you saying that your claim is conjecture? Or, perhaps, simply anecdotal?

libertarians aren’t a thing

[Libertarians] are republicans that are too embarrassed to identify as such publicly

Be careful to not make hasty generalizations.

To be fair, Libertardians also care about lowering the age of consent!

Based on what are you making this claim?

being libertarian is only marginally less embarrassing [than being a Republican] anyway

What about libertarianism is embarrassing to you?

Except that a tablet sized screen is not accomplishing the same goal as proper visibility

I never said that I was specifically advocating for that as the only solution. All that matters is if the same end is accomplished. If it is indeed true that the safety of a vehicle is only maximized when objects are directly visible to the driver, then so be it. If not, that is an unnecessarily specific and restrictive regulation. And, in any case, regulating a limit, and letting the market work within it, accomplishes the same end with the benefit of freedom of choice. An equivalent example would be regulating the maximum allowed emissions for a vehicle rather than mandating a specific design of the engine, exhaust system, etc.

Why does it seem that so many of those who claim that they're libertarians are not actually libertarians?

This makes me wonder if there could be a regulation mandating front facing cameras on vehicles where vision is obstructed when moving at low speeds. Perhaps collision alert systems are sufficient. At any rate, there should probably be something that mandates some form of compensation for the lack of vision.

[SOLVED] Have you ever experienced stuttering in a game if you receive a message in a desktop messaging app during gameplay? (sh.itjust.works)

Solution

This is a bug in KDE Plasma [1.1][2]. It appears that it might be fixed in KDE Plasma v6.2 [1.2][3].

Original Post

I have noticed this behavior with Element and Signal while playing Deadlock. The game will have a pretty severe stutter, ie the frame-rate will substantially dip, for half a second or so at the exact moment that a message is received. It seems to happen with every message. Do note that these are only messages that would result in a system notification. All other messages that are silent, ie they have no pop-up notification, do not result in any stutter.

  • OS: Arch Linux, Kernel: v6.6.49-1-lts
  • DE: KDE Plasma v6.1.4
  • WM: Wayland
  • CPU: Intel Core i5-4690k
  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600

Updates

  • I have tried disabling this setting in Deadlock:
  • I have tried windowed-borderless
  • I have noticed that the moment that the stutter occurs, my CPU spikes maybe 20% and my GPU drops to 0%.

    There are some remaining code paths that can block direct scanout - namely effects that haven't been fixed, or that may need to block direct scanout in some situations. There's a new API in 6.2 that effects can use though, https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/6203, which blocks direct scanout only when really necessary. It's implemented for all built in effects, and external javascript effects automatically make use of this API too.

PSA: Git exposes timezone metadata (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works to c/privacy@lemmy.world
0 comments fedilink

Git records the local timezone when a commit is made [1]. Knowledge of the timezone in which a commit was made could be used as a bit of identifying information to de-anonymize the committer.

Setting one's timezone to UTC can help mitigate this issue [2][3] (though, ofc, one must still be wary of time-of-day commit patterns being used to deduce a timezone).

    It is <unix-timestamp> <time-zone-offset>, where <unix-timestamp> is the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch. <time-zone-offset> is a positive or negative offset from UTC. For example CET (which is 1 hour ahead of UTC) is +0100.

    each commit Git stores a author date and a commit date. So you have to omit the timezone for both dates.

    I solved this for my self with the help of the following Git alias:

    [alias]
co = "!f() { \
    export GIT_AUTHOR_DATE=\"$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z)\"; \
    export GIT_COMMITTER_DATE=\"$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z)\"; \
    git commit $@; \
    git log -n 1 --pretty=\"Autor: %an <%ae> (%ai)\"; \
    git log -n 1 --pretty=\"Committer: %cn <%ce> (%ci)\"; \
}; f"

If you have installed Linux on a Microsoft Surface Pro, what was your experience? (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) by Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works to c/linux@lemmy.ml
25 comments fedilink

I'm looking for a cheap and portable tablet that I can use for writing. Microsoft Surface Pro tablets, at least around the gen 4 models, are rather cheap to buy used, and they seem decently well made. Naturally, were I to buy one, I would have to install Linux onto it.

I've been peripherally aware of the Linux Surface project for some time now. I looked at it recently, after having not for some time, and it seems that they have really made good progress compared to what I remember, and it's making me much more interested in trying to install Linux on a Surface Pro.

Having never owned a Surface Pro, I'm not sure which models are the most reliable and sturdy. I'm not looking for something that's the flashiest; I want something that works well. I want something pragmatic — something akin to the idea of an older era of Thinkpad (eg T460). I want a pen with low input delay and good accuracy, reliable and responsive touch controls, and a decent display. I was thinking the Surface Pro 4 might be a good choice, but it's hard to know as there aren't many videos out there of people installing Linux on them, so I'm wondering what your experience has been with Microsoft Surface Pro's and installing Linux on one.
