Anyone know of an eli5 on zram? I don't see why just compressing your RAM would make it run better.

I know Linus was pushing back REAL hard on getting a fact checker. And it would've likely prevented this situation entirely.
Edit: Other than the pushing of merch... Sigh... This is a pretty good PR mea culpa. At least from the rest of the team. I guess I should finish it. Pretty textbook. "We screwed up, here's how we're fixing it."
Edit 2: Nevermind. I got to the part with Linus. FFS.
Steam. I need higher Linux compatibility.
With increasing enshittification of so many Linux distros, community distros like Debian are more important than ever. Debian, Arch, Void, Gentoo are so important. I hope more people put some life into Mageia and OpenMandriva. We could use some more alternatives.
I'd be thrilled to mostly sit and purchase from GoG if they really dedicated to Linux.
Debian supports their version for two years. Then you need to upgrade.
But I just think more options are always good. Only having one just limits us to a mono-culture if we don't want to go with some corporate solution.
Thank you for your hard work! I'm a big fan of both systems. What's the alternative for systems relying on captchas keeping out bots though?
Additional community distros not mentioned: OpenMandriva, PCLinuxOS, Mageia, NixOS.
I honestly think we need community-managed LTS distros. This is a good start.
I stand corrected!
Unfortunately, no. The roasting process, well, cooks them. You can buy uncooked fresh beans though and plant those.
Half Life 1. That game was so ground-breaking, so atmospheric, so interesting in its puzzles and its combat that it just blew my mind and made me a forever fan.
So a thought here, I would assume that each server is responsible for it's own federation? Like if kbin.social doesn't federate KDE and lemmy.world does, KDE posts would only be visible on lemmy.world, but someone on kbin.social looking at lemmy.world posts wouldn't see KDE ones? Or am I missing something?
Highlighting that he called out Steve for not asking for comment from LMG for his video.
OK, this I can agree with. And in fairness I was never writing about a big, constantly-updated video channel that was continually talking about itself. But it still screams to me there needs to be a chance at letting them respond.
Only game so intense I burst a blood vessel in my eye playing. 10/10, can't wait for the next sequel.
An AI search is your friend.
The update doesn't let the site use captchas. They're waiting for .18.1, which will.
I've had that song stuck in my head for FOUR YEARS NOW. And I'm pretty fine with it.

Well, the important thing is we can still violently overthrow society when we don't get our way. /s
I agree with Steve on everything, this was a huge blunder and fail in messaging from Linus. But you are supposed to reach out and ask for comment before running a story. I was a news reporter and have a master's in public relations.
Edit: Called Linus "Linux"
That’d be nice. Getting my monitor above 60hz requires Wayland on my AMD card. I’d like another desktop environment option.
I did watch the video. And I don't agree with him. He needs to ask for a comment.
Nope. You call them up and go, "This is happening and we're running a story. Care to comment?" You should even have a list of questions to ask if they agree. They can give you bullshit answers if they want, then you point those out and add that to the story. It doesn't have to affect the story. Facts are facts, and they can try to explain it away, but can't. You're still holding them accountable. You're just also giving them a chance to apologize or own up to it. And if they dont' comment, you include that.
Steve and crew are amazing tech journalists. They're doing great work. But that's a miss in this whole thing.
From the majority of the team, this is a pretty good and textbook PR mea culpa. "Here's how we screwed up, here's how we're fixing it."
The pushing the merch was tone-deaf and the defensive whining from Linus was NOT on-point, though. I appreciate it ended with "how I'm going to fix it," but he should keep the defensive shit to himself.
