potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you ever revise your upvotes for a particular sub-thread/conversant when you get the sense they are either bad-faith or do not have sufficient knowledge to justify their participation or comments?5·7 days agoIdk, it feels a lot of conversation about difficult to grasp topics are followed by a lot of Dunning-Kruger comments, even here on lemmy. Sometimes it’s about related topics that a person know, so their comments seems reasonable, but after a search or a harder look, I stop upvoting or I can even downvote their comment, but sometimes I just ignore if I don’t even remember the original conversation.

The irony.

potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto World News@lemmy.world•In China, coins and banknotes have all but disappearedEnglish3·7 days agoGive money transaction/banking data to anyone like you said and this will become a huge crime problem. Money is a huge risk for any information to be given, I bet it’s like this all around the world. “But the cops”, the cops of today can steal based on that information or commit other financial crimes.
You can’t trust almost anyone with any financial data, not because of privacy, but because it can cause a very large problem, not human rights problem, but destabilizing country economy problem. Have you ever seen people getting jailed at your job? I have seen in mine.

potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto World News@lemmy.world•In China, coins and banknotes have all but disappearedEnglish91·7 days agoIn Brazil, people use pix (online governmental instant payment) to pay for drugs, so i guess in China people use wechat and alipay too. It is not like the government watches every transaction made.
Edit: Also, the volume is HUGE, in Brazil we have at least 2k payments per second made with pix, in China it should be even bigger, so if there isn’t an investigation, i think the government won’t look at specific payments, like a guy paying for prostitution.

What's on your to-do list?13·8 days agoThat would require some knowledge that they couldn’t get (people can’t think things that they don’t know the basics of, like a different colour). Rolling rocks and fire would be on that age.

And to go to “there”, it seems nice “there”, why shouldn’t we go “there”? It doesn’t have other people “there”.
I started using linux in 2011, but went full linux nerd in 2014/2015, while still in high school. Changed distros, changed OSs, changed everything, but full time it was linux all along, from ubuntu, to elementary os, to arch, to hackintosh, to solus, to endeavouros, to a lot of distros, but now i’m stable at cachyos (the optimized packages are amazing, ngl).
Air superiority and better units will make an easy Mamdami victory. Tanks and naval power, even if underapreciated, have a debuff that can make a difference. What if i research avionics and atomic energy early, could i help nyc? Idk, but it’s a risk i can take.
potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Linux@programming.dev•Fedora Linux devs discuss dropping 32-bit packages - potentially bad news for Steam gamers24·12 days agoI think Wine has had WOW support for some time and it seems it will be the default at some time (arch moving to wow64).
Edit: What is WOW64
All transitions from Windows to Unix code go through the NT syscall interface. This is a major milestone that marks the completion of the multi-year re-architecturing work to convert modules to PE format and introduce a proper boundary between the Windows and Unix worlds.
All modules that call a Unix library contain WoW64 thunks to enable calling the 64-bit Unix library from 32-bit PE code. This means that it is possible to run 32-bit Windows applications on a purely 64-bit Unix installation. This is called the new WoW64 mode, as opposed to the old WoW64 mode where 32-bit applications run inside a 32-bit Unix process.
The new WoW64 mode is not yet enabled by default. It can be enabled by passing the --enable-archs=i386,x86_64 option to configure. This is expected to work for most applications, but there are still some limitations, in particular:
Lack of support for 16-bit code. Reduced OpenGL performance and lack of ARB_buffer_storage extension support.
The new WoW64 mode finally allows 32-bit applications to run on recent macOS versions that removed support for 32-bit Unix processes.
“How am I going to be racist today? OOH, the parallel command is pretty woke”
All these “concerned” comments about systemd, wayland, etc, always seemed dog whistling to me. I have critiques about these projects, but the specific things this specific type of people says always comes coded in some form of racism/transphobic/mysoginistic rethoric. Just changed from gamergate to linuxgate.
So i’m not surprised that they turned mask off like this.
Look at any anti-systemd channel, the comments are always the worst thing ever. Some lkml reading channels have these comments too.
