Agreed. The call trace shows it occurred as part of a drm_ function, which is related to the DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) subsystem.
There’s a chance it might not be the root cause, but the more obvious answer is that the Nvidia driver managed to corrupt a kernel data structure.
I agree with them when they say distros shouldn’t be theming their apps by default. When the packager breaks a package, it misleadingly gives users the impression that the software is at fault. Unless the distro itself is willing to field all the user complaints and bug reports, it just ends up causing problems for the maintainers.
Where I will never agree with them is in the demand that the developer has exclusive control over the application icon. It’s inconsequential to the software’s functionality, and if anyone thinks their brand should have more rights to a computer than the person who owns it, they can rightfully fuck off with the likes of Apple and Microsoft.
App Icons are the identity of an app. Changing an app’s icon denies the developer the possibility to control their brand.
Here’s an novel solution to that: fuck off! A lot of us use Linux because we’re sick of corporations and rightsholders trying to control how we use our devices while treating us as marketing tools by shoving their “vision” in our face.
You can block it with a carefully-crafted userscript that hooks the fetch API and returns fake responses for the svc event, but then Reddit starts flagging your IP address as a bot and demands you log in to an account to prove otherwise. You can’t win.
Curious what kind of real world use makes it a good choice?
It’s declarative. Everything is (usually) configured via Nix itself, without requiring manual steps of running additional commands. This ends up being pretty useful when you have a fleet of devices that you want to configure.
Changing config is atomic. If you end up breaking your system when trying to tweak it, you can boot into the previous generation and try again with different settings.
Didn’t even need that long. Right-wing outlets (Fox, Daily Mail) are now posting articles about “sources” (which they do not elaborate on) confirming to them that shooter’s roommate was his “transgender partner”.
The Daily Mail tries very hard to imply a romantic partnership in the first few paragraphs despite no evidence of such, then go on to clarify they don’t know the relationship details after priming the reader.
The partner – who shared a three-bedroom apartment with Robinson in Utah – is said to be ‘fully co-operating’ with the FBI.
The room-mate is understood to have handed over text messages allegedly sent by Robinson after the killing, apparently saying where to retrieve the rifle used in the assassination after it was left in a wooded area.
A source told Fox News: 'The shooter was living with a transgender man who was transitioning from male to female.
'The status of their relationship isn’t known. They were friends who enjoyed playing video games together.
Fox, as usual, doesn’t give a shit about waiting for more evidence and just says what they think would get the most engagement:
Bureau officials confirmed that Tyler Robinson, 22, was in a “romantic relationship” with the unnamed person, who is a male transitioning to a female, and that they shared an apartment in Saint George, Utah. Those FBI officials told Fox News Digital that Robinson’s partner is fully cooperating with the FBI’s investigation.
It’s hard to not despise Collective Shout. On top of the morality policing, they’re unapologetically arrogant about it in the most regressive ways possible.
“it is clear many of the men defending their r*pe games perpetrate crimes of violence against women, because they are doing it to us right now.”
Conservatives already tried that line in the 90s, claiming violent games cause violent children. Guess what— it’s now a trillion-dollar industry.
Our objection has always been clearly stated - rpe, incst, and child sexual abuse.
“Oh, won’t somebody think of the children!”
Roper stated, "If Steam and itch.io had been moderating their platforms as they should have, there would have been no need to temporarily delist games to ensure they were not in violation of their policies.
Oh, look, DARVO. Let’s blame the platforms that temporarily lost their ability to take credit card payments for developers losing money, not the people bitching to Visa and Mastercard.
when you do have big problems its still kind of annoying
Or small problems. Very annoying small problems. Like GTK 4 windows freezing when you try to close them.
It’s the same for a lot of people. Beginners are still learning good practices for maintainable code, and they’re expected to get better over time.
The reason people are ragging on PirateSoftware/Jason/Thor isn’t because he’s bad at writing code. It’s because he’s bad at writing code, proclaiming to be an experienced game development veteran, and doubling down and making excuses whenever people point out where his code could be better.
Nobody would have cared if he admitted that he has some areas for improvement, but he seemingly has to flaunt his overstated qualifications and act like the be-all, end-all, know-it-all of video game development. I’m more invested in watching the drama unfold than I should be, but it’s hard not to appreciate the schadenfreude from watching arrogant influencers destroy their reputation.
you’d end up using modulus and move on quickly.
But where’s the fun in that?
There are so many better for obfuscation ways of checking for oddness!
(a & 1) > 0
a.toString()[a.toString().length()-1] - '1' == 0
iseven(a)?(1==0):(1!=0)
That code is so wrong. We’re talking about Jason “Thor” Hall here—that function should be returning 1 and 0, not booleans.
In the source code for his GameMaker game, he never uses true or false. It’s always comparing a number equal to 1.
They could (and probably have) tried to get to where apple is with its app store on macos/ios.
They did.
The Windows 10/11 “S Mode” only allows installing software through the Windows store. It was mostly relegated to OEM installs for cheap x86 and ARM laptops, thankfully.
The magic cable typically goes into ISP-owned hardware sitting in a box somewhere down the street. From there, it’s either converted into fiber optic signals or repeated until it reaches an ISP-owned building where the data can be exchanged with the wider internet.
How does so much data go through a single-pin coax cable?
It uses multiple channels (frequency ranges) in parallel, bonding (combining) them to increase throughput.
A surprising amount of bandwidth can be achieved this way. DOCSIS 4.0 can do 10 gigabits per second in download and 6 gigabits per second in upload.
I prefer removing the -french language pack on every install. The command comes with a typo though, so you need to fix that for it by adding /* at the end
Comparatively speaking, politicians here are pretty inexpensive. It only took one twat a couple hundred million to own the president.
Not the other commenter, but they likely meant stability with respect to device drivers. The kernel is great at not degrading with a high uptime, but there’s consumer stuff that’s just perpetually unimplemented, buggy, or minimally-functional:
None of this is the kernel maintainers fault, of course. The underlying issue is the usual one of shitty corporations refusing to publish documentation and/or strategically abusing the legal system to stifle reverse engineering for interoperability.
Hellwig was a bit crusty about being overruled by Torvalds, it seems.
Yeah, I never said .world is any good either. Both of them have Ye Old’ Power Tripping Bastards worthy moderation.
My instance had a genuinely stupid policy where trolls were not to be banned but instead countered with facts. To prevent echo chambers, or some stupid shit like that. They also blocked the db0 piracy community from being viewed.
OP frequently posts pro-Russia articles. I suspect they don’t want to see the difference.
