I use hall effect on the daily and have had none of the issues you’re discussing. I suppose time will tell, but I much prefer hall effect.

They could have easily fixed it with hall effect sticks. That is a proven and inexpensive solution, but Nintendo prefers to sell more joycons and create waste, it’s that simple.

It’s decent, with the deepseek model anyway. It’s not as fast and has a lower parameter count though. You might just need to try it and see if it fits your needs or not.

That’s fair, but I think I’d rather self host an Ollama server and connect to it with an Android client in that case. Much better performance.

Why would I use this over Ollama?

In regard to Linux users being left out in the cold… how so? Do you think that distros are going to start enforcing attestation? I doubt that it will be a hard requirement for most, even in the next decade or two. It’s an option, yes, but mandatory?

FWIW, all of my banking apps work just fine with compatibility mode enabled on Graphene. Also, I’m not sure saying it’s inevitable is the right way to go, it certainly won’t make others care about their privacy and security.

From the article:

The only way for router users to determine whether their devices are infected is by checking the SSH settings in the configuration panel. Infected routers will show that the device can be logged into by SSH over port 53282 using a digital certificate with a truncated key of

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEAo41nBoVFfj4HlVMGV+YPsxMDrMlbdDZ…

To remove the backdoor, infected users should remove the key and the port setting.

People can also determine if they’ve been targeted if system logs indicate that they have been accessed through the IP addresses 101.99.91[.]151, 101.99.94[.]173, 79.141.163[.]179, or 111.90.146[.]237.

So glad that our government is focused on the tiny fraction of the population who are trans athletes. Truly, the most pressing “issue” of our time.

Fuck Trump, and fuck Newsom.

True, but again, you’re making a lot of assumptions here. I don’t see anything about proxies anywhere.

He probably got caught because of an internal audit, that’s the assumption I would make.

Use grayjay.app, they have it for desktop too. No ads, sponsorblock built in, and has multiple platforms in one place.

Try just telling someone that they need to switch to Linux with no other details. They’ll either get confused/overwhelmed by choice, or possibly choose one that isn’t user friendly and hate it.

People have to start somewhere, and I see no issue with recommending user friendly distros to get them going.

Rivian didn’t over produce, and notably, didn’t go all in with the new authoritarian regime. Also, a 36% decrease in sales is much less than having $800 million (in MSRP) sitting in lots. The R1T is a very successful vehicle if you compare it to the Swastitruck.

This absolutely depends on your location. My power company recommends charging at night, when the grid isn’t as strained. My area primarily uses hydro and wind, and this article seems to be talking about solar which is not very efficient here.

Much of the study is focused on the area around Stanford, which has access to a large amount of solar power nearby, so it would make more sense there.

I sure hope that “some time” is coming soon, because I’m exhausted after three years and counting.

I’m not saying there wouldn’t be layoffs without it, but it certainly would be better. I know from experience that a lot of the people that were laid off were a critical part of the team, and those that remained had to bare that load. It has burned me out several times, because I’m doing work that should be done by two or three people.

I’m a DevOps engineer, if that counts.

It is, at least in my experience. Further, my recently laid off colleagues have been trying to find work for months, some of whom have been applying for jobs that would require pay cuts, with no luck.

Pretty much every job listing in the tech space gets hundreds if not thousands of applicants because the layoffs have not stopped for three years. You can see what I mean at layoffs.fyi. In tech, 60,000 so far this year, 153,000 in 2024, 264,000 in 2023, and 165,000 in 2022.

That’s not even counting those that graduated in the last couple of years. Those people are in an extra bad spot because they have a large amount of college debt with no way to make their payments.

All of STEM is suffering because of corporate greed and rising anti-intellectualism.

Sure, it’s just even worse with big tech.

There will definitely be more, especially as the economic situation in the US continues to worsen. Big tech works under the unsustainable model of unlimited growth, and even if profits increase, if they don’t increase “enough” they lay off workers. They could save a ton of money by laying off execs, but they’ll never do that.

I’ve found layoffs.fyi to be pretty up to date with tracking how many people are laid off in the tech sector. It’s no wonder that it’s nearly impossible to find a job in tech, and these execs and boards are to blame.

I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t considered a career change, not because of the work itself but because I’m exhausted from worrying about if I’ll have a job to pay the bills tomorrow. The only thing stopping me is that I have no idea what I’d do otherwise.
