They really are, wished they had more diverse communities like reddit.

Agreed

The backups with time shift are incremental, hence most of the time the backup is taken within seconds and it only stores changes over time, something similar to git.

I used to do it exactly for that uses case, the backup was quick because there generally are not much changes outside the home directory.

I used to have Daily backups and monthly backup like 20 different dates stored in a relatively small space.

Like if my system is 30 gb then a 50 gb backup partition would store months of daily backups.

Not answering your question but I had installed btrfs on my fedora install, thought I would use it for backups and system restores using snapshots.

But I felt there was always a performance tradeoff when doing a lot of writes like npm install and stuff.

Eventually replaced btrfs with ext4 and backup solution like timeshift.

I would say if you want system recovery then tools like timeshift make it really really simple and straightforward taking backups and restoring them.

Sometimes you just don’t need a Swiss army knife to do most basic stuff.

It’s not true.

Vector dbs and LLMs are really powerful at knowledge retrieval.

See notebooklm and open-source alternative.

the Orb as a powerful tool to verify people’s identities and prove someone is really human at a time when artificial intelligence deepfakes are becoming more convincing.

My goverment ID ( India aadhar card ) already has my my biometric taken using eyes.

And I can verify my identity using eyes.

I don’t understand how this is anything new except it’s private company.

This is a downgrade worded like a upgrade.

NVIDIA drivers finally behaving well?

Last tried gaming on Linux Mint 2 years ago faced a lot of graphic glitches, full screen issues, pointer issues.

Finally gave up.

I had NVIDIA gpu though

IAs far as I read this correctly, the law prohibits creating such media but does not hold the websites accountable for publishing the media.

It does indeed sound vague as to what the social media site should do.

Would be interesting to see how microsoft kills windows in the long term and then be shocked as to how this happened

Sounds like early version of cyberpunk city.

Google Play protect

Which linux phone is practical?

Almost all of them lack good hardware and feel overpriced.

Remember the slow internet had to wait overnight for 40 megabyte game and finally finding out it didn’t work.

Is secure boot a requirement? Or optional?

Craters at poles are in permanent shadows with -200 degrees permanently

In deep craters near the Moon’s poles, permanent shadows keep the surface even colder — NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has measured temperatures lower than -410°F (-246°C)

Although we are heading in the direction the article says. We are definitely not there yet. Instagram and Facebook have huge amounts of contents and users consuming mindlessly, my dad uses facebook to watch manufacturing videos of factories in china all day and my mother looks at recipes and wedding dresses on instagram. These lurkers are not going anywhere and they are majority of the users on these platforms, X being an exception.

Being on lemmy you might mistake yourself as there is a wave of social media downfall but if you truly look at big picture we are a small pond compared to huge lakes of users around the world with different age groups and interest.
