  • Rsyslog comes standard on most linux distros, yes. It didn’t get that way because the development team are idiots who don’t know what they’re doing.

    So, on one hand we have the developers of a piece of software used by a majority of Linux users saying that, after 2 years of evaluation and testing, that these tools are useful and effective and on the other hand we have random social media people who’s only knowledge on the topic is that they know AI is bad and therefore this cannot be anything but bad.


  • I, like the other commenters here, am not privy to the 2 years of evaluation and experimentation.

    However, I won’t let that stop me from condemning this in no uncertain terms because AI bad and that’s more correct than any amount of “observational data” or “experimental evidence”.

    We may not be users of the software, contributors to the project or were even aware of what rsyslog is prior to seeing this announcement but as people who are chronically outraged we have valid concerns about this development which will ruin the software that we only recently discovered existed.






  • Exactly.

    This isn’t a decision being made to cut costs, it’s a strategic move because the EU just assessed how badly they’d be screwed if Trump throws a tantrum and forces American tech companies to disrupt services to their governments.

    In addition, the EU has strong data privacy laws and US tech companies are resisting compliance (Elon was recently fined 150million, for example).

    This has led to several hearings with tech executives who said that they could not guarantee that the data would stay in the EU and they could not guarantee that the data would not be provided to any other country.

    Digital privacy laws don’t mean anything if they don’t apply to the major tech companies and they’ve said that they won’t comply.



  • The person is using heroin as a metaphor for a destructive product that causes harm to its users in order to setup an article about digital privacy. When people use metaphors, we all understand that they’re a rhetorical technique and not an attempt at describing reality.

    If someone says that their grandchildren are perfect little angles, you don’t say “well, actually, angels are divine beings who don’t dwell upon this earth Grandma, so your grandchildren are not angels and also you’re so dumb for literally thinking that.” In this scenario, it isn’t the grandmother that is dumb.

    You’re getting caught up in the fact that he said to imagine a scenario. You think that the fake scenario he imagined, where US corporations are selling recreational heroin, is not as bad as the current opioid epidemic. That is a completely irrelevant detail because, once again, the article isn’t about drugs.

    It’s like you’re saying “this guy is stupid, you can’t put social media in a spoon and melt it over a candle in order to inject it into your arm!”. Sure, I guess you’d be correct, but it would be completely irrelevant and make it look like you can’t navigate basic conversations without pointless digressions about irrelevant details.





  • it seems to happen primarily when I try to move the mouse regardless of the situation (if I’m in dialogue or exploring, but it’s the worst when fighting), and during cutscenes where they always play slowly and voices go out of sync

    There was an issue with the Steam overlay that happened when they added the screen recording feature. After about 25 minutes any input will cause a delay in rendering the current frame.

    You can disable the overlay or add LD_PRELOAD=“” to your launch options, if this is the problem

    Spectacle

    Flameshot is pretty good too

    About [Secure Boot], here’s the related settings I found in the BIOS settings, but I forgot one more option and it’s like a boot list with two entries about openSUSE, one has “secureboot” on the name and the other doesn’t, if it helps I’ll add a picture of it to that album.

    Try booting with the non-secure boot option then

    cat /sys/firmware/ipl/secure
    

    1 means secure boot is enabled, 0 means disabled.

    If it’s 0 then you could use any distro, regardless of secure boot support.
