Might we considered there may be a tiny difference in scope between an OS and an app like Armory Crate.

Because they’d need to support it or hire an assload of developers to bugfix and contribute to the projects they include in their distro.
And that’s something those companies don’t like doing.
System76 is a hardware vendor specifically created to cater to the Linux sphere.
I guess they mean “how to make buggy messy often usermade Desktop distributions more popular.”
As Linux itself is insanely popular, it’s everywhere and runs everything. From the vast majority of server and network infrastructure to most phones.
Endorkend@kbin.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•Activision Blizzard’s ex-CEO Bobby Kotick reportedly wants to buy TikTok7·1 year agoI tried TikTok some time ago and got bored with it.
I’m the type that prefers long form content. I watch 20-240 minute videos on YouTube,
I never got into Vines or the Vines/TikTok clone thing YouTube is doing either.
So most of the crap I see from TikTok is here, on Reddit and Mastodon.
And normally only the most entertaining crap from a platform gets to other platforms and I’m not impressed by what I’ve seen, at all.

Endorkend@kbin.socialto Gaming@beehaw.org•Switch emulator Yuzu shuts down as creator agrees to pay Nintendo $2.4m1·1 year agoConsidering they were making enough to agree to pay 2.4 million to Nintendo, they were making bank of the emulator.
If it went to court, this would’ve been much much higher.
Endorkend@kbin.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•Your next Windows PC may need at least 16GB of RAM4·1 year agoEven as far back as XP/Vista Microsoft has wanted to run the file system as more of an adaptive database than a classical hierarchical file system.
The leaked beta for Vista had this included and it ran like absolute shit, mostly because harddrives are slow and ram was at a premium, especially in Vista as it was such a bloated piece or shit.
NTFS has since evolved to include more and more of these “smart” file system components.
Now they want to go full on with this “smart” approach to the filesystem.
It’ll still be slow and shit, just like it was 2 decades ago.
Endorkend@kbin.socialto Gaming@lemmy.ml•Twitch "isn't profitable" admits CEO, in wake of recent layoffs141·1 year agoImho you’re wrong there.
Amazon has every incentive to write down Twitches infrastructure cost as far higher than it needs to be, to make Twitch look unprofitable.
Both to audience and shareholders. It’ll allow them to force more advertising and push up sub prices while making the main corporation revenue look better.
This while the long term plan looks to be more about getting an excuse to shut down the public facing side of Twitch and get rid of having to deal with the streamers and viewers as direct clients and renting out streaming infrastructure to other streaming sites instead.
They want to condense their streaming services to simply be simple products they can sell or rent out to other sites rather than having to deal with a load of consumers and legal liabilities that come with them.
Endorkend@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•what has worked for you to stop getting angry thinking about people who hurt you?41·1 year agoI’ve become so jaded with people in general I can’t be arsed bothering with what anyone but my wife and mother think of me, do to me or say to me.
(my dog and cat too tbh)
My downstairs neighbor seems to be wearing some of those glass breaking pens you can buy for emergencies, as heels.
Our apartment is incredibly well sound proofed, you can’t hear any of the city noise and usually can’t even hear the elevator bell on our floor, even though it’s obnoxiously loud. You also can’t hear voices, radio or TV from downstairs.
But yet my downstairs neighbor, who apparently ALWAYS wears heels and can’t sit down for longer than 5 minutes, manages to make it sound like someone is constantly hammering a nail into solid concrete, with every step she makes.
The tack tack tack tack noise coming from down there, you can figure out where she is in her place, simply by where the sound goes and comes from. From that I know that while most of the layout of her apartment seems the same, two doors are in places where we have walls.
Before doing anything, if your screen allows it, swap DP to HDMI or HDMI to DP as output, that may fix this to the point of being able to actually boot and further fix the issue.
I’ve had this before with drivers where suddenly it would fail on either port but would still run on one of the others.
Yeah, doesn’t take much to warp a young mind with pseudoscience and pseudo philosophical blathering.
Because the right has coopted the religious right, this is just a merger of oldschool professional religious apologists tactics into political discourse and it took scores of Atheists making videos, doing talks and going into debates to show these people for the lying pieces of shit they are.
But because they moved into fronting as purely political, rather than religious, the Atheists stay away, because it’s not their fight.
Endorkend@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your favorite movie, film, or show to watch this time of year, christmas or not?6·1 year agoI tend to watch the whole Marvel lineup to this day starting early December and my wife and I watch the whole shebang of Harry Potter on Christmas eve and day.
March/April I tend to rewatch Boston Legal and the cliffnotes of Dragon Ball OG to Super. Rest of the shows I rewatch aren’t as tied to time of year.
Endorkend@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•Noob question: what to arrange before switching to linux31·1 year agoIf you plan on using something like Gentoo, building Gentoo and running it in a VM a couple times tends to be a smart play.
I’ve been using Gentoo for ages, as I’m a stickler for stripping down everything to its bare minimum and even I tend to first have a couple runs at building and running it on new hardware, from within a VM.
Going in knowing the intimate details of the hardware you use is always going to be a big plus.

Endorkend@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever done something for yourself on your (job) company's infrastructure?8·1 year agoI got a company to install an extra consumer grade internet connection with a different ISP on top of the main (already redundant) business one.
Sold it to them as being best for redundancy and to make sure that if sync traffic between our 6 locations was heavy, it wouldn’t impact the main line.
The main line was actually more than sufficient to handle 100x the heaviest traffic we ever had. We were right next to a university, which got us a hookup to the national backbone on fiber (this was in the age of T1 and T3 lines being the norm, 2 of those 6 locations had to make due with 256KB lines), so it was rock stable, blistering fast and because it was backbone connected, utterly and completely unrestricted and unmonitored by third party.
But the advantage of consumer lines in that period was that cable and DSL were starting to become common for consumers, at speeds comparable to most business internet lines. These also usually had dynamic IPs.
This was simply so my and my colleagues internet and at the time Napster traffic wouldn’t show up on the traffic logs and wouldn’t be identifiable by our official IP range :p
Endorkend@kbin.socialto Memes@lemmy.ml•I'm reminded of this after the hoopla at the Northern Border died down893·1 year ago“The party of personal responsibility” has never found an issue they couldn’t blame on someone else.
It’s all projection, all the time.
Oh no, but they sure as hell went balls to the walls Austin Powers tier cartoonishly evil since then.
The thing with Google isn’t that they removed the “don’t be evil” mantra they held for 2 decades.
It’s that in the 5 years since officially removing that mantra, they’ve done their best to be the most cartoonishly evil they can be.
Not even one of those points will accelerate Linux adoption to being with a decade of the snowballing level at which point it could Dethrone Windows.
You been drinking some absinthe or smoking the ganja-weed?
Or just straight up snorting Flakka
