It must be an allusion to Stalingrad and presumably the battle there where the red army beat the crap out of the nazis, so you’re not wrong.

This framing made me read the comment in the link as a transphobic joke (“ha ha I won’t accept your change of gender ie will misgender you”) which would have been a pretty smoking gun if left there, and in case anyone else makes the same incorrect interpretation I’d like to warn them that they’re talking about grammatical gender, in the PR.
I think it’s a stretch to call this transphobia; if anything it’s good ol’fashioned sexism, but a pretty tame one.
You joke but I realised I feel exactly the same about this as I do about the choice of C++, which is: deep sigh ok sure
Look, it’s my favourite energy drink Peal Doul!
Joking aside that image is disgusting? Why is it so disgusting?
Apparently the instruction set is off-brand MIPS64?!
I’m not an American but my impression is the Supreme Court is mainly designed as a last bulwark to ensure the US never under any circumstances ever does anything remotely good and this isn’t exactly improving that impression.
I’m a bit worried about their choice of name
The comments on this one really surprised me. I thought the kinds of people who hang out on XDA-developers were developers. I assumed that developers had a much better understanding of computer architecture than the people commenting (who of course may not be representative of all readers).
I also get the idea that the writer is being vague not to simplify but because they genuinely don’t know the details, which feels even worse.
Has anyone been able to find an actual description of what this does? I clicked two layers deep and neither explains the details. It does sound like they’re doing CPU scheduling in the hardware, which is cool and makes some sense, but the descriptions are too vague to explain what the hell this is except “more parallelism goes brrrr” and it’s not clear to me why current GPUs aren’t already that.
Oh no we’ve gone full circle
Interesting! Do you have a link to a write up about this? I don’t know anything about the windows memory manager
Wow they just…disabled all RAM over 3 GB because some drivers had hard coded some mapped memory? Jfc
Sounds like that list is getting pretty short
I’ve also set up both and in my experience Nextcloud is much much more complicated to set up but simpler to use and syncthing is pretty much the exact opposite.
In my case, a rather long time ago, it failed to reliably sync my files, had a super annoying web based UI, was a pain to get all my devices to talk to each other because because they had to join some sort of peer to peer network and authenticate with the earth other all three. It also didn’t have any working solution for mobile devices. Hopefully all of that’s fixed now because there’s no inherent reason it couldn’t work.
Presumably you’d have a QPU in your regular computer, like with other accelerators for graphics etc, or possibly a tiny one for cryptography integrated in the CPU
It depends. For development work it’s literally the same since you usually set up a container for each project that runs regular fedora. Otherwise you usually install software from flatpak.
Installing system wide packages is possible but kind of annoying since they don’t activate until you reboot.
Sweden’s mostly on Meta Messenger. WhatsApp is the foreign exchange student protocol.
I assume we need a lot of breakthroughs to even have useful quantum computing at all, but sure.
Isn’t quantum encryption interesting for end users?
This is a very similar question to piracy vs unauthorised AI training and I think the underlying thing is power and agency.
It’s absolutely possible, consistent and valid to be for something in a situation where it equalises power and against it in a situation where it skews it even worse towards inequality.
Shows how much I know! (Nothing)
Can you (or a human) expand NPM, presumably not the Node Package Manager?
Now that is news, and a much, much worse thing when it’s an expressed policy than when it’s “please don’t submit a tiny change to only documentation as a PR that’s just annoying”.
