Quoting: MayeulCBesides a swap partition, you may consider swapping to compressed ram (zram).

Hi there!

You should not be using zram anymore, zswap is recommended:

For most users, like me, zram is just a failsafe not a graceful way to setup a swap in RAM. In most modern systems, you shouldn't need a swap space at all BUT, in those edge cases you still need it, zram gets on the rescue. Yes, eventually zram would just OOM but, at that point, things have already gone bad anyway.

For what i've understood, Zink is good enough only for those drivers which have a broken ogl implementation (i.e. Nouveau).

Quoting: scaine"I'm doing a thing people hate, so instead of not doing that, I'll continue to do it, but hide it better"

That's a bold position to take in any project, let alone a FOSS project. And just because he can use it in non-slop manner (maybe? hopefully?) it doesn't absolve him of the ethical concerns many of us have about genAI.

If you don't trust AI generated code is just because, maybe, you put too much trust into humans and that is dangerous, as the very opposite.
As for the ethical matter, do you think it poses an ethical issue to write an official document using a text editor, instead of doing it by your hand?
This is the same case, except the "co-authored by AI" sign thing which is very stupid, indeed, and without any legal basis.

Quoting: robvvThe Enigma DRM has been cracked several times recently. Hopefully it will be cracked again, and even legitimate users may be able to play the game!

De-enigmated games don't run at all on Wine/Proton, based on my tests.

Quoting: NumerfoltI have been using Kate all the time and was wondering why they would use KWrite instead. Then I opened up KWrite for the first time and thought that it should be quite a good replacement.

Maybe I'm stupid, but isn't it the same program? If I open Kate and KWrite, they look the same. When I open About, the only difference is the name at the top, both show the same info, including "(c) 2000-2024 The Kate Authors" (sic!). However, the kwrite binary is 4x smaller than kate, so I'm probably missing something. Maybe KWrite is like Notepad and Kate is like Notepad++, if you forgive the comparison. ;-)

[edit] Ok, I'm starting to see small differences, like integrated terminal and git in Kate. So I guess it's more like an IDE and KWrite is just a text editor?

Kate has integrated sintax checks for shell scripts too.

Quoting: SeegrasAll age verification schemes are ultimately dangerous to the very people they claim to protect, because they are endangering their privacy. And everyone else's as well.

This is bad; but the culprits here are idiot (and/or malicious) politicians in the respective countries pushing for these privacy violations.

Maybe, but it will lift a burden on moderators of NSFW servers.

This won't block Google AI to intrude into your searches.

Just an expansion and upgrade? LOL
Higher resolutions (up to 4k)
Higher frame rates (up to 240fps)
And AI filters that were previously blocked on the electron app.
