You can use the lsof utility though to list all currently open file handles.

I befriended this guy in an online game. Eventually we became friends on Steam and it turned out we both had a lot in common and we started playing a few other games together as well.
One day he told me that he got a girlfriend, who he later then married. After some time they got divorced and he hasn’t messaged me since.
I really miss staying up until 6 in the morning, playing long AoE2 and Stronghold Crusader matches with him.

The Silicon is what gives Life; After all it carries out all those thousands of floating point Instructions that are required for the Matrix Brain to work!

Excellently put. It’s really just Capitalists doing Capitalist things, it’s just sometimes they happen to be located in China.

I rather deal with that than any Micro$oft® Garbage®.

It’s crazy how many people are just OK with running completely proprietary code that monitors everything that happens on the machine and phones home all the time, all with the promise to “catch cheaters”.

Fortunately every game I’ve seen so far with such malware is just a generic competitive multiplayer dopamine farm that targets the Streamer crowd.

“But all my friends are playing it!” - Is it really worth it to run omnipresent malware on your machine just to play the currently trending game for a few weeks until you move on to the next?

This is exactly the kind of stuff that Neural Networks are good for.
Meanwhile everyone in the West has seemingly stopped using Neural Nets for anything genuinely useful, or interesting, to the point where I feel like “AI” or “Neural Network” are now synonymous for BigTech’s latest “inventions”.

There is this Project that I came across a long time ago called “Neuroph”.
It’s a pretty cool educational tool where you can create and play around with different kinds of Neural Nets: https://neuroph.sourceforge.net/
“AI” doesn’t have to stand for ChatGPT.

Even just playing Solitaire all day until you’re fatigued is better than this drama shit.
All this e-celeb stuff is way over my head. My mind is still tuned to the pre-Smartphone Internet lol.

Eclipse 15 years ago was OK. Decent Debugger, useful Plugins (like WindowBuilder). It had issues, but instead of focusing on those they over time just kept piling crap on top of it.

The company representative didn’t provide any more details on the Fenghua No.3 during the launch event, only that it features a home-grown design from the ground up. The Fenghua No.3 is also purportedly compatible with Nvidia’s proprietary CUDA platform, which could open many doors for the graphics card if it holds true.

Based. I hope their drivers (at least the non-CUDA layer) will be FOSS and that they release low-level documentation.

Off topic, but I yearn for a Graphics Card that I can just simply program without any complicated or limited abstractions.

It boggles my mind how people still recommend Brave as a good browser for privacy.
The entire point of Brave from the beginning was their own Crypto currency that they wanted to shill.
In their early days they offered a bunch of Tech YouTubers some crypto (via affiliate links) in return for them shilling brave.

Brave is basically just yet another Chromium reskin with custom branding, extra tracking and crypto bullshit bolted to it.
No, the builtin AdBlocker does not make it “worth it”. Stop recommending this pile of crap.

Every thread here about veganism ends up like this.
Ironically, browsing lemmygrad for a few years has given me a negative bias towards vegans and veganism in general.

Even if Lemmy was run by a piece of shit, anyone could just modify the source code and make their own version. Plus, Lemmy is an implementation of the ActivityPub Protocol, and there are many Projects out there that speak ActivityPub: https://fediverse.party/

You can think of ActivityPub as being similar to E-Mail; It’s not like Gmail Accounts can’t send messages to Accounts on Outlook or vice versa, they can, because they both speak a common Protocol that predates both of those Providers.

People on Mastodon or Pleroma Instances can follow Communities on Lemmy and can read, favorite or repost Posts like this one.

It’s so funny to me how they always word it as if they’re a corporate entity or some sort of “competitor” on “the market” when in reality it’s just an implementation of a common protocol. I have yet to see other ActivityPub Projects being acknowledged by journalists. Focusing only on Mastodon is like focusing only on Gmail while completely ignoring the existence of E-Mail.

I too enjoy Turbo Overkill a lot but I’m only maybe halfway through. :/ I stopped playing because for some reason I started getting this weird sound bug where all audio cuts out for 5 - 10 seconds and then comes back and is fine for like a minute until it cuts out again. I’ve tried everything. No matter what I do it just keeps happening and it only tends to happen on the Windows version of Unity games in general I’ve noticed. I’ve combed the web for answers but only found a couple people with a similar problem with no answers, or answers that don’t work for me.

If only they released a Linux native version. Linux native Unity games are completely fine.

That last comment is insane. They sound like one of those people who believe that video games are a waste of time. Meanwhile they’re probably browsing the Internet all day and slurp up all the propaganda against US enemies they come across.

I always have to lol whenever I see a lib being very serious about some comically overblown made up shit. It’s like a kid trying to tell me they saw a big scary monster in the woods.

There are a couple websites that use it. Others that come to mind are http://leningrad.su/ (no HTTPS) and https://sovnet.su/

That’s still just an SBC in a case though. What needs to happen is basically a Dell Optiplex or Lenovo ThinkCentre but RISC-V. A machine that is relatively cheap, made from standard mass produced parts and is plug-n-play but still has some room for expansion.

Loongson is already going in that direction. Also they published at least the essentials, mainlined support for it in GCC and the Linux Kernel, and most of all it’s not x86. In fact it’s based on MIPS64.

LLM is a search engine

I wouldn’t even call them that. Any fulltext search engine will always produce reliable output and doesn’t make shit up. Also they don’t need a GPU to number crunch and don’t require the most recent beast computer to run. For example, any PostgreSQL Table can be used as a search engine index via TSVECTOR.
