Are the "Upvote" and "Downvote" buttons "Agree" and "Disagree" buttons?
  • I see the upvote and downvote count as an overall room temperature/vibe check.

    Whenever votes are good everything's chill, otherwise if approaching <50% happiness then I recheck/reflect and look for where I could've done better.

    You can't please everyone however most can still avoid making fools out of themselves by trying to learn and improve from past mistakes.

  • [not] Best GPUs of 2024, November Update - Please Don't Buy Edition [Hardware Unboxed]
  • Heads up I posted this a couple days ago and provided additional details:

    https://lemmy.ca/post/33768472

    The crossposted details won't show up on the Pcgaming post if you're using Voyager so you'll want to check the og Bapcsalescanada post

  • Hackers abuse popular Godot game engine to infect thousands of PCs
  • From Rémi Verschelde:

    As the Check Point Research report states, the vulnerability is not specific to Godot. The Godot Engine is a programming system with a scripting language. It is akin to, for instance, the Python and Ruby runtimes. It is possible to write malicious programs in any programming language. We do not believe that Godot is particularly more or less suited to do so than other such programs.

    Users who merely have a Godot game or editor installed on their system are not specifically at risk. We encourage people to only execute software from trusted sources.

    For some more technical details:

    Godot does not register a file handler for ".pck" files. This means that a malicious actor always has to ship the Godot runtime together with a .pck file. The user will always have to unpack the runtime together with the .pck to the same location and then execute the runtime. There is no way for a malicious actor to create a "one click exploit", barring other OS-level vulnerabilities. If such an OS-level vulnerability were used then Godot would not be a particularly attractive option due to the size of the runtime.

    This is similar to writing malicious software in Python or Ruby, the malicious actor will have to ship a python.exe or ruby.exe together with their malicious program.

    Pointless AI server farms coming to an unregulated ocean near you!
  • Delcomplex another useless company for 99% and valuable for the 1% venture caps and investors

  • What Apps Are Missing on Mobile Linux?
  • Rather than app, the top feature I'd say is:

    • the ease/accessibility in installing on any modern smartphone disregarding the need to buy a Linux specific & compatible smartphone
  • Update on negotiations with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers

  • What are your thoughts on Zen Browser becoming a lot more popular than Floorp?
  • Personally I don't find either Zen or Floop as interesting as Librewolf exists and has been trusted for far longer than the 2 combined

    Looking at Zen's repo I'm not finding anything unique about them that makes them stand above the current alternatives so I'd rather support Librewolf unless someone's offering something better

    Also to touch on your point about the star count, I've heard news in the tech space that Github stars can be bought so I don't see star count as a valuable/useful metric anymore

    Edit:
    just did a quick search on the Github stars thing and yuuup seems it's def real seeing as the first results I'm getting many sites offering them:

  • Someone Made a Dataset of One Million Bluesky Posts for 'Machine Learning Research'
  • Not that it's of any consolation, just better to assume that nowhere is safe from being mined for AI training.

    honestly that's totally fair

  • Unixsocks needs new mods

    If you're currently considering on buying a new Graphics Card (GPU) for your computer it's advised to hold for now as: > We strongly believe you should not buy a graphics card right now. This is because we're expecting the announcement of next gen GPUs in the first week of January 2025.

    Again what this means is that customers who hold off on buying are more likely to have a larger window for better deals as the flood of newer GPUs should push the price of previous gen cards somewhat lower than the newest ones on the market.

    Tim from Hardware Unboxed (in the primary vid I linked) does a great and thorough breakdown🤌 on the current price to performance comparisons that I would highly recommend watching whenever you get the chance to do so!~🫡

    ---

    If you're new to buying PC components please be advised in that I would highly recommend watching some GPU performance comparisons (such as GN's 7900 GRE review and comparisons) as otherwise you might accidentally buy a new GPU but with the performance of the previous series for a higher cost :/

    Detached LUKS USB Key Update?

    While I'm trying to get Encrypted /boot and a detached LUKS header on USB to work, I had a couple of questions come to mind:

    1. Does the backup USB key need to be updated? 2. If so, then how would someone keep all backups up to date?

    I probably asked a dumb question but if anyone can help guide me through the steps I'd really appreciate you!🤗🌻

    What needs to be modified for SDDM to show the reveal password button?

    I tried searching prior to me asking here, the best I could find was: https://old.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/sej9no/configure_sddm_to_show_password/

    https://forum.manjaro.org/t/login-screen-no-longer-has-show-password-icon-in-password-form-text-box/78041

    Unfortunately the SDDM page on Archlinux is devoid of any solutions to this so I thought someone here might know better.

    And for clarification I'm looking to modify SDDM to show the reveal password button during the first chance users have to input in their password. This is the same button that appears on the right-hand side of the password box during an incorrect attempt.
