Zoomers can’t be bothered to spell Nvidia correctly. I wouldn’t let ‘em install my drivers either 🥲
Boomers will also get locked out of a lot of content because verifying their age is too complicated. I feel no sympathy.
Not adjusting settings, but definitely auto updates which require a login and they've been adding more and more things that require an account so they can track you.
All of these people are future linux enjoyers, they just don't know it yet.
The trend has accelerated this year, corpos are data mining and they want to court proof data against you.
It has been at least 10 years coming but it is now very clear for what they are going for here.
Between Israeli genocide and pedos within the power structure, the anti resime sentiment is growing too strong and it seems for once, fake news can't change the narrative.
We are heading into the future where we won't be able to criticize genocide or pedophiles.
Unfortunately it actually just means less computer literacy. If you can't use a computer you just stay on your phone.
which is also easier to fingerprint!
any phone that aint grapheneOS, aint worth using imho
however, i doubt grapheneos team will be able to bring a phone to market. looks like US and EU will outlaw them anyway here soon.
Zoomers need to learn they don't need to use Nvidia's app for this. Just download the driver directly.
I have been out of the loop for a while so please excuse my question: Is it really necessary nowadays to let NVIDIA software connect to the internet to enter/change the graphic card settings? Years ago they only had this bullshit tool for looking up pre-made settings and an update agent, but all you had to do was to not install both when running the driver setup. I can't even remember the name of them, deselecting this crap became like muscle memory. Did NVIDIA really change that in the meantime?
This seems like it can be easily avoided by just downloading the drivers without using the nvidia app.
Are you actually able to do that now? You used to not be able to or they were sufficiently hidden.
They’ve never been hidden. You just go to the website, put in your model and download it. There’s apps that do it for you now which is where this must be coming from. Still doesn’t change the fact you can directly download the driver.
Windows will do it for you as well but you have to enable it.
That’s what in used to use but there are some features you can’t access without the physx components so I get the whole package now. For baseline it’s good for sure.
at this point just stop serving websites to the uk, and call it their "great firewall"
You can on Linux just saying
It's like people are just now noticing that they have zero ability to control their own digital lives because they traded it all away in order to not have to take the time to learn how to do things for themselves.
not trying to be rude, but it’s easy to get tunnel vision especially with tech spaces. before becoming involved in tech i had no idea that linux was even a thing. most of these people need education, they just didn’t know their options. they didn’t “choose” to throw away their rights because they didn’t know they had a choice.
this is eventually going to restore the internet to the 1990s on alternate protocols like Gopher or breathe new life into IRC and Newsgroups.
Relevant:
Oh great, a graph telling me I'm going to die soon. I'm not even that old.
I know we don't know each other very well, but... Can I have your stuff?
As one of the first Baby Boomers, it's somewhat surrealistic for me to proof that I'm old enough to access an fucking web page.
As a millennial, it, too, is insane.
Which begs the question: who thinks this is a needed thing and a good idea? Who is pushing this agenda?
somebody in another post a few days ago suggested that this was about gaining control of the media narrative by gradually locking down parts of the internet. The idea being that today it's adult content but tomorrow its about disagreeable narratives on YouTube, TikTok, and other secondary sources of Information.
-I'd think it were a stretch of the imagination but it was shown that the motives for trying to ban TikTok were the narratives shared on the platform about Israel's ongoing genocide.
I hear that - I was around when Arche and Fido-net and BBS'es were king. You want my id? Great I'll just fax it to you.
lol
The internet's inability to fact check anything before re-sharing it? Yes, I agree.
Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?
