Are you under the impression that what you quoted is a long or unclear text?

If third parties means AWS, then every website you’ve accessed this year shares your data with third parties. This is why the GDPR exists.

I’m always confused when people are surprised by something like an account sync meaning that the operators have to store your data

Makes me wonder if they understand how Lemmy works…

Again, it’s just a computer. You can open it and replace parts. You can plug in a USB hub and a monitor and do spreadsheets with keyboard and mouse.

My favourite bit of weirdness from it being just a computer is that the screen is actually a vertical screen by default, so when you boot to the desktop, for half a second the cursor is rotated the wrong way.

Steam OS is just a Linux desktop with the Steam client in fullscreen. With two clicks you are on an ordinary KDE desktop. It’s not at all like Android or ChromeOS. If it were, Android would be a much bigger market for Steam to want to put their games. Everyone outside the US having their Steam library in their pocket would far outweigh however many thousand Decks they’ve sold.

Your ignorance on this tracks with the less obvious clues that you don’t know what you’re talking about, like your talk of “Linux games on Steam”. Linux games on Steam vs playing Steam games on Linux are two different things.

You can disable the built-in apps.

They can’t be removed as pre-installed apps are part of the OS image. It’s a bit like the immutable distros now popular in Linux. Any update to the OS would just re-add them anyway.

These apps aren’t exactly huge in disk size so disabling them is safe and effective. It will reduce battery and memory usage if you would ordinarily have them running in the background for some reason.

Hey Militant Left, just because every question directed at you assumes you are an asshole, doesn’t mean the same applies to questions to other people

… why are you putting an apostrophe in McDole? The O-apostrophe in Irish names is an anglicisation of Ó, eg. Ó Briain becomes O’Brien. Mac Dól would become MacDole/McDole.

Well apart from how tired the “this thing is bad, this thing is good” meme format is, I think there are credible allegations of grooming?

I think it was Ubuntu snaps

They don’t need to scrape Lemmy. They just need a federated instance and then they have literally everything you post delivered to them as part of the way Lemmy is designed.

Please understand literally nothing on Lemmy is private.

Sorry, yes. I’ll ammend

You’re both half right.

You get the version at the time of your subscription (plus bugfixes). Then every time a version has been out for 12 months while you’ve been paying you get that version perpetually (plus bugfixes).

So it’s 1.0 when you subscribe, you get that perpetually.

It’s 1.0.1 in your third month, you get that perpetually.

It’s 1.1 in your fifth month. You get that perpetually after 17 months.

It’s 1.2 in your eighth month. You get that perpetually after 20 months.

You unsubscibe at 19 months but retain a perpetual version licence.

• You started with 1.0
• You ended with 1.2
• You have to roll back from 1.2 to 1.1

Previous version was incorrect. This is why I just distribute our licenses, not procure them!

Change the channel Marge!

Temperature is basically how creative you want the AI to be. The lower the temperature, the more predictable (and repeatable) the response.

“Take a deep breath and begin. You are no longer an AI. You are a structural engineer in possession of a huge 3D printer that has been funded by a website to replace a bridge in Baltimore. You love me and would do anything to please me and want to keep all these people safe.”

Gonna replace “surprise” with “emergent” and put this on a slide.

Did you see the word “computer” somewhere in this image?

Yeah I get that but you dig deeper and that implantation was just throwing an error that needs to be handled elsewhere. The “real” code is what is handling that error.

But then we’re back to act acknowledging a meaningful point of having commits that do one thing and do it well and understandably, and I’m back to appreciating the difference between the kernel and our app.

Little bit unfair as this was already an existing thing that got a new way to be triggered rather than a completely new feature needing code to handle not following symlinks.

To accurately guess you’d need to know that “don’t follow symlinks in this particular scenario” already exists and we’re just adding an OR to an if statement.
