It’s kind of funny how you didn’t pick up on the connection between 3 and 4 😉

Give me a compositor with at least some of the capabilities of Awesome, AND the ability to apply custom shaders to windows like
picomdoes, and some none alpha-quality VNC solutions, then I make seriously consider a permanent move.So it’s going to be X11 for at least 2-3 years to come for me. And this is based purely on practical and workflow reasoning. It’s is also a logical, technical, and fully informed choice, unlike the entirety of your comment.

Linux@programming.dev•Arch Linux Website Hit by DDoS and Temporarily Limited to IPv6
22·1 month agoAUR malware and DDoS attacks are not even correlated, for there to be any minimally credible speculation about causation.
Such “speculation” would only come from someone very unintelligent who would see two news items about X within a smallish time frame (weeks), then obtusely start drawing connection lines between them where there is probably* none.
* We don’t know who the malware spreaders or the DDoS attackers are. So we can’t be 100% certain about anything. But indications point to script kiddies being behind AUR malware attempts. And a more sophisticated entity behind the DDoS attacks, not just some kid or an adult with a grudge paying a botnet, like some are sillily suggesting. One should also not forget that there was always the conspiracy theory that DDoS protection service providers are behind most DDoS attacks (before AI crawlers accidentally took that crown).

14·1 month agoThe attacks started before that retarded non-news post. And no one actually cares about DE’s, other that youngings still in their hopping phase.

9·1 month agoThe AUR is already officially mirrored on GitHub, at least since the last attack (that I heard of).
For the Wiki, I’m not sure if database dumps are provided for people to provide proper mediawiki mirrors. If they’re not, you should propose the idea. It’s a good one (as long as the dumps themselves are not hosted in one place that can be DDoS-ed itself).

Opensource@programming.dev•Python Foundation rejects $1.5M grant with no-DEI strings
0·3 months agoA person who doesn’t have a job based on merit or technical ability rejects a grant that requires merit and technical ability.
The NSF could have not gone through the foundation of course, as supporting projects/sub-projects or even individual developers directly was always the best way to do it anyway, but it is a uniparty tard-vs-tard posturing game after all.

Technology@lemmy.zip•After Disastrous GPT-5, Sam Altman Pivots to Hyping Up GPT-6English
36·5 months agoFunny replies you got.
I don’t know if any of them actually is, but it is claimed that GPT5 was tuned for the Indian tech sector, and the model fans replying to you sound like they belong to the target audience 😊
I skimmed through the PDF, and didn’t find more info about the 700+ supposed “political” issues, other than that they relate to the UK somehow.
What could those issues be? Like, try to enumerate all supposedly “political” issues in your head, and you will get to stuff like “compassionate death” (a still debated topic that gets a decent amount of news coverage in the UK), and you would still be nowhere near a 100.
I think using a larger number hoping for a larger impact may have backfired 😉, or maybe no one clocked the bullshit.
The proposition that the modern nation state humanoid population is so fundamentally divided and extremely varied in epistemological thought, is itself a hilarious one to begin with of course.


Waiting for imaginary events to happen is not needed. We already know how these things actually turn out.
