As someone who has done no programming since taking C++ in high school more than 20 years ago, what do you mean by safer language?
I really need to try to learn Resolve. There just seems to be so much effort required to make a good NLE and such a relatively small market that it’s just not conducive to a robust FOSS project.
Can the Stream Deck be used with other VR systems? I’d just assume not so I’d never looked at it for that.
I’m still confused on what happened with OpenOffice. Is it not good now that it’s with Apache?
I don’t even know what icon is on the right
TL;DR: it’s not all Garry’s Mod content, just content made using Nintendo IP. Everything from just straight-up adding Nintendo characters to other games (apparently including a lot of Animal Crossing characters) to levels or parts of levels being brought from Nintendo’s games into other games.
Did he still throw rock against you? Was he beaten by @june@lemmy.world?
This might be the first time the red circle actually helped
glad that our generation 1 product even has a chance against a $457.18 billion industry
we capture even 1% of that and we win
I mean, yeah, just about any product should be able to celebrate if they were able to hit $4.5 billion in sales. That’s still a big number. But here’s the thing: capturing 1% in that market still will be really hard. Getting 0.1% would be something to celebrate for a first-gen product from a startup. Getting 0.01% should probably be something to celebrate, and if that’s too small of a number to be celebrating then your company’s probably going to fail.

There are higher upfront costs with a robot, though, so if the volume is low human labor can make more sense.
Just to tag along, the VGA signal is analog where DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort are digital
Yes, that’s why I thought this article was odd that they seem to be making a big deal out of it
To be clear, I wasn’t thinking Microsoft was sabotaging Linux; if they’re contributing officially I assume it’s because they’re also using it or want to increase adoption of something they’re creating by making it widely available.
The article is making a big deal that he works for Microsoft but also says he’s been doing this back since his days working at Google. It never says that this work is part of his official job at Microsoft, though, and I don’t know if we could even know that unless it’s part of his job title. Do we know that Microsoft hired him to do this or could it just be this has been his longtime passion project and he’s doing it outside of his work responsibilities, and he just happens to currently work for Microsoft as his day job?
Why would a backup not help with a bot net? Shouldn’t rolling the computer back to its state before installing the malware remove it? (This is a genuine question; I’ve had very little exposure to actually using Linux but am interested and will probably install it on a machine someday)

On the one hand, if any commercial store put out a statement like this and did no vetting of submitted applications people would (rightly) be up in arms. But on the other, this is pretty much the standard with FOSS, right? Unless you’re paying for a supported commercial license from someone like Red Hat, everything is as-is, without warranty, caveat emptor. The power of open source is that anyone can review the code and look for problems or malicious behavior, but also (especially with smaller projects) there’s no guarantee that anyone else has looked at the code. So is it a best practice with Linux and FOSS to run a system backup before installing any software or update? I mean I guess that’s technically true for any OS, but especially for open source?
This is new to me but looks interesting. It looks like their transparency report hasn’t been updated since Q1 2023, though, where it previously shows updates for every year. Is that a concern?
I remember a really smart, very nerdy family friend telling us about Linux around 1997/98 and this was the experience he described. It sounded interesting but also like a crazy amount of work.
