Viewing an image? Ask copilot to generate what it thinks the image looks like.

And then you try to open the image file on a non-Windows system and discover that it's actually just a text file with a prompt. Your actual Image is now part of copilot's training data and you've agreed to this by accepting the Windows EULA.

"Save storage space with copilot!"

I'm starting to think that feds are spamming the "TAX" idea as a distraction. If you genuinely believe that "taxing the rich" will get us Communism then you need to read more. "The Principles of Communism", "Wage Labour and Capital" and "The Communist Manifesto" are good starting points.

Lol who came in here and downvoted specifically this?

This reads like it was written by some LLM.

Enable journaling only if needed:
tune2fs -O has_journal /dev/sdX

Don't ever disable journaling if you value your data.

Disk Scheduler Optimization
Change the I/O scheduler for SSDs:
echo noop > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
For HDDs:
echo cfq > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler

Neither of these schedulers exist anymore unless you're running a really ancient Kernel. The "modern" equivalents are none and bfq. Also this doesn't even touch on the many tunables that bfq brings.

Also changing them like they suggest isn't permanent. You're supposed to set them via udev rules or some init script.

SSD Optimization Enable TRIM:
fstrim -v /
Optimize mount settings:
mount -o discard,defaults /dev/sdX /mnt

None of this changes any settings like they imply.

Optimized PostgreSQL shared_buffers and work_mem.
Switched to SSDs, improving query times by 60%.

No shit. Who would've thought that throwing more/better hardware at stuff will make things faster.

EDIT: More bullshit that I noticed:

Use ulimit to prevent resource exhaustion:
ulimit -n 100000

Again this doesn't permanently change the maximum number of open files. This only raises the limit for the user who runs that command. What you're actually supposed to do is edit /etc/security/limits.conf and then relog the affected user(s) (or reboot) to apply the new limits.

Use compressed swap with zswap or zram:
modprobe zram echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset

This doesn't even make any sense.

Completely agree! I like to limit myself to HTTP 1.1 and any website I'll ever make will just be simple handwritten HTML with some CSS. I like to use elinks and xlinks for hypertext but in some cases -- like lemmy -- I'm unfortunately forced to use a bloated browser that supports JabbaScript and black magic (which makes no sense because online forums, message boards, blogs, wikis, etc. in the past all used to work without any JS). I like Gopher/Gemini a lot but I find it hard to discover interesting holes/capsules.

For a moment I thought "Did something big happen that I missed?" and then I watched the video. I'm always amazed by the stupidity of the average yankee.

At this point the best thing that could happen to the PS5 is for people to find a reliable jailbreak. With Linux it would probably make a decent PC. In terms of specs the hardware is comparable to a Xeon based workstation from the early-mid 2010s.

It doesn't help that they keep deprecating and changing standard stuff every other version. It's like they can't make up their mind and everything may be subject to change. Updating to the most recent release can suddenly cause 10s or 100s of compiler warnings/errors and things may no longer behave the same. Then you look up the new documentation and realize that you have to refactor a large part of the codebase because the "new way" is for whatever reason vastly different.

The information in this is surreal considering it was published by a bourgeois news outlet. It almost makes me feel a little uneasy because why would they suddenly not care anymore.

It's insane how hard they're spinning everything to make it look like everyone is out for them and they're the little innocent ones. AcKschuaLly there is no empire just a group of quirky and totally autonomous friends who decide to help each other out.

Back when the conflict started for the first few weeks here (Central Europe) on TV every program that featured Ukraine soldiers showed them with brown scotch tape on their upper arms. After a while they no longer gave a shit. Probably because they thought that the Wolfsangel would be unique enough for the commoners.

For real. If a game gets announced with a release date that is more than 6 months in the future chances are very high that by the time the game comes out I will no longer have an interest in playing it (unless it turns out to be really really good). I personally don't care about any teasers/hints that marketing drops every now and then up until the release and I don't follow any influencers/shills who make long essays about the latest teaser so most game releases just fly over my head at that point.
