Well, not really. Twitter was his own private property that he bought with borrowed money secured against his Tesla shares. xAI on the other hand is financed by investors whose money he used to bail himself out at a price he made up himself since Twitter is no longer publicly traded. So this is, in my opinion, misuse of investor funds; the picture would be true if xAI used how own money to do this, but no.

On one hand,I think this is serious fraud. On the other, my understanding for anyone investing into his companies is very limited, there are so many red flags on so many levels.

But it’s geared for the convenience and privacy of the average user not military security.

Military security (or military grade whatever) is a buzzword that makes sense in some contexts. In a lot of them, it doesn’t.

For example, for a lot of military-grade products you can have assumptions that are not always given for a platform that messenger operate on. Like that the device is always stored in a secure location. That it’s administered by trained personnel. That the device operator has received training on proper usage etc. In fact, a lot of military systems probably couldn’t be operated securely in a John Doe context b because of environmental security requirements. In that regard, messengers have to be more secure.

Fast noch mehr als der offensichtliche Unsinn verärgert mich die Tatsache, dass es nicht immer Nahrungsmittel - Organ ist, sondern auch manchmal andersherum. Wobei man sich beim Ersteller durchaus fragen darf, ob da vielleicht nicht nur eine Walnuss im Kopf rumliegt…

It appears that Germany has updated their information several times. So much so that your second link gives me a 404 error

It hasn’t been updated, but Lemmy thinks the colon is part of the URL. https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/reiseundsicherheit/suedsudansicherheit-244250 it’s not about the US but South Sudan, to show what an official travel warning looks like. The US page is just advisory.

Germany

I don’t know for other countries, but Germany has not issued any travel warnings. The page with information to the US is the following: https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/service/laender/usa-node/usavereinigtestaatensicherheit-201382. It contains only information, but no advisory against traveling which a warning usually contains stuff that one might call warnings, but they formally aren’t. Compare it with https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/reiseundsicherheit/suedsudansicherheit-244250: The title of the page contains “(Reisewarnung)” which translates to “warning against travel”. The page contains the wording “Vor Reisen nach X wird gewarnt”. Only those constitute a warning. No such warning can be found on the page about the US.

Personally, I can only advise against traveling there, but the page for the US has existed basically always. New information was added this month, but the official status / stance on US travel hasn’t changed: the US is on the same level as France and Spain.

I don’t think his statement is true though. If https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1ce7z19/gaming_on_linux_ep131_ntsync_vs_fsync_nobara_39/l1ho8od/ is not manipulated in any way, games with lots of these calls still get big improvements with ntsync over fsync (about 30% in this particular case, which is a massive boost). So while nobody can rule out that his statement may be true on average or in general, there are still cases where ntsync offers a tangible advantage – be it improved FPS or the fact that the game runs at all.

Edit: in the video that the thread is about, fsync didn’t beat ntsync in a single one (or I missed it when jumping through it). In the best one, they were exactly tied. Sure, the difference wasn’t really big, but again there are titles not working with fsync.

However, I want to stress that I’m not trying to talk about fsync. It’s a good solution that significantly improved performance. But ntsync is, from everything I’ve seen, almost always better; how much depends on the case, and it never seems to be worse.

Yes, sorry

If you know that you want to play a game that only runs on Windows?

It’s their device, I never tried Windows on the notebooks I bought in recent years either

Any linking against GPL software requires you to also release your source code under GPL. ALGPL allows you to link to it dynamically without relicensing, but as explained, there are platforms where dynamic linking isn’t an option, which means these libraries can’t be used if one doesn’t want to provide ALGPL licensed source code of their own product.

fsync isn’t faster than ntsync, it’s merely a workaround to match Linux to Windows synchronization primitives. From ntsync’s official description:

It exists because implementation in user-space, using existing tools, cannot match Windows performance while offering accurate semantics.

So without this, you either have a huge perfomance hit in case of an accurate implementation or you have good performance, but might run into edge cases where software doesn’t work well or at all because it’s not accurate (see https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/2922 for examples)

Interesting enough, the chains in this graphic that operate in Germany are German. Apart from some small outlets, the German market is controlled by German chains. It’s just that these also became relatively successful internationally.

What about tortoisegit

The equivalent to Plex is Jellyfin I think, Plex can be used as a media server for Kodi.

Most of these titles don’t have mainstream appeal though. The example is true for the majority of players.

I do love me some indie games (probably 95% of what I play atm are Noita and Balatro) but I’ll admit it was really cool as a child / teenager / young adult to see the improvements over time.

That’s more hours per week than I have to work.

But you can always do more. I have a childhood friend who, when some leagues were released, averaged about 14 hours per day for Path of Exile for two weeks straight. Like 180 hours playtime in two weeks.

Another friend of mine should be at about 8000 hours of Rocket League by now on his main account only. That’s over the game’s full lifespan though.

Just realized he died, but the red bull owner also was a right wing populist who had questionable content published through his TV channel. Also the original drink tastes… not great and is quite expensive

This is what happens when you don’t use crypto as god intended: purchasing medication from India and subscriptions to indexers.

I’m not saying this is what I bought Monero for.

But this is what I bought Monero for.
