Programmer Humor@programming.dev•ThePrimeTime reviews Zuck's AI glasses demo
4·2 months agoSeriously. I want a personal HUD for navigation and reminders that also corrects my vision (like normal glasses), not to become a walking surveillance device / info mine.
Yeah, I also have this question. I loved playing 1 and 2 co-op but 3 and pre-sequel didn’t hold my attention at all. I’m happy to see good reviews but I’d like to hear a review from someone that doesn’t lose their access if they pan it…
I don’t really care what color they are when they are long as your palm and flying at your face.

Linux@programming.dev•Phoronix: Additional Intel Linux Drivers Left Orphaned & Maintainers Let Go
9·3 months agoThis is about Linux kernel driver maintainership… It’s all open source.
Glad you’re still with us, hope you’re doing well, that crash sounds awful.

Linux@programming.dev•Wayback 0.1 Released As First Preview Release For X11 Compatibility Layer
5·4 months agoYes. It has basically the same issue that any compatibility layer is going to have. It will either faithfully reproduce X11 so well it will bring all of the nonsense Wayland was meant to do a way with (everything not directly related to displaying graphics, like font and geometry rendering from the '80s, network transparency, insecure event handling) OR it will attempt to get a reasonable subset working for modern X apps and it won’t be compatible with dusty old binaries and X forwarding etc.
Right now it looks like a shim for Xwayland so it’s the first one, but as it matures we’ll see.

Linux@programming.dev•Wine-Based Hangover Project Drops QEMU In Favor Of FEX & Box64 For Emulation
6·5 months agoI couldn’t find the specific reasoning for this change, but I feel like QEMU is probably just too holistic to be appropriate for this kind of project.
QEMU needs to be able to emulate all the ARM hardware with enough fidelity to boot a naive operating system. For the purposes of running userspace applications almost all of that is not required, you really just need to convert one ABI to the other and translate the instructions. No need to handle firmware, the MMU, interrupts, disks etc.

Linux@programming.dev•What's your "Oh fuck, that actually worked!" Linux moment that made you feel like a wizard?
4·5 months agoYes! It used to be so hit or miss with Wine, but I played WoW in it around the same time and it was crazy that it worked (at least most of the time).

Linux@programming.dev•Fedora X11Libre change proposal withdrawn after 'overwhelmingly negative feedback'
151·5 months agoThere’s just no reason to do this work. Even if you ignore the fork’s controversial maintainer, and just favor the fact that it’s maintained at all (which is what the proposal’s author is suggesting) just… Why?
X11 is basically over at this point, why throw a last minute wrench into the existing, working Xorg infrastructure?
When we dropped XFree86 back in the day there were license issues, packaging issues and a real alternative didn’t exist - all justifying the effort to switch. None of these are a problem today.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•VPN recommendations, Summer 2025English
101·5 months agoIt’s more of an issue with torrent seeding. You need to be able to accept incoming connections to seed, so you need a VPN/router to allow incoming traffic to a certain port to reach your torrent client.
So, not a problem for leeching, but if you are trying to meet ratio requirements, could be a big problem.

Antiwork@lemmy.world•I was laid off from Microsoft after 23 years, and I'm still going into the office. I feel responsible for my team and customers.
11·5 months agoI still feel like it’s idiotic to do work after you’ve been let go, I don’t care how much your colleagues rely on you, the corporation decided you weren’t worth keeping around. At least he’s getting paid, but he could effectively be on a 9 month paid vacation doing literally anything else with his time.
Unless you can launch offensive weapons at other racers or eat shrooms to speed up or literally launch your car off of a vertical ramp into the sky and it turns into a glider in Forza, I’m pretty sure these games aren’t even in the same genre.
themoken@startrek.websitetoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Elon hits the red buttonEnglish
45·5 months agoI always love this meme. The way that dude is simultaneously smiling, hitting weed, and in an action stance in case shit comes his way just makes me laugh.
Light speed is a “you must be this clever to participate” barrier to becoming an interstellar species, that’s all. Even if it’s not breakable, it just means you gotta be able to plan hundreds or thousands of years into the future.
Hell yeah, congrats! I get back into DCSS every few years but I have only escaped with the orb once, a lucky MiFi run. Just getting there is huge!

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•As an older torrent gen, I tried Debrid for the first time.English
7·7 months agoI use private trackers exclusively for content I want to “own” or want in the highest possible quality. Stremio/RD is great though for my wife to be able to search new media and potentially stream in okay quality without fucking with sonarr. Or popular TV you’re maybe not sold on but would try an episode. Or for old SD content, like tossing on a 90s show for a few episodes. To be honest, I live in a world of ad block and Stremio is sometimes the only way I even know something is out…
Anyway, they complement each other well.

Science Fiction@lemmy.world•Set leaks Showcase first Look at Briana Middleton as Molly in 'Neuromancer' for Apple TV+
36·7 months agoI will watch this, but only because I’m fairly certain Neuromancer is unadaptable to the screen. The thing that makes William Gibson great is the fantastic way he writes, leaving so much to the imagination but creating a definite vibe. When you have to fill out every single detail to render it on screen, it’s not going to be the same work. I’m sure It’ll share characters and plot points, but these are not the things that make Neuromancer such a classic.

Science Memes@mander.xyz•the sweet sound of turtles fucking 😍 🐢English
12·8 months agoTortoises are turtles, but not all turtles are tortoises. Same with toads being frogs.


I had no idea that this was coming out, and it sort of makes me want a PS5… And then I check the price and I think I can wait a couple of years until it’s on PC.
