SponsorBlock skips sponsor segments. SponsorBlock also supports Invidious and Piped if you enable Support 3rd Party YouTube-Sites in the SponsorBlock options.

I don’t see a problem

#include <iostream>

#define ; ;;

int main(){
  std::cout << ";\n";
}

Right to be forgotten is supposed to cover data deletion, though the EU has much stronger protections than the US.

I prefer Arch Linux’s use of flatpaks, which is none at all ever

You can use Bumblebee and ensure your game is the only thing that gets the GPU by running only it through optirun (AMD support is probably not coming soon)

You can also use taskset to ensure that only your game gets physical CPU cores, and everything else gets efficiency CPU cores

Yes (see Question about Mac phoning home from 6 days ago, which is answered by the former Asahi Linux lead). There is no firmware-level Apple telemetry, and booting into Linux disables Find My.

the asahi mess is limited to M1/2 models

As of the Asahi Linux blog post from 2 days ago, they’re working on SPMI controller support, which is part of M3 support.

I wouldn’t really call Asahi a mess, they upstream their patches to the Linux kernel and are a part of the Fedora project. Also, Linus uses Asahi Linux for his travel laptop, a MacBook Air.

which are like 5 years old at this point.

M2 models were released in June 2022, they aren’t 3 years old yet.

NVIDIA’s user-space components remain the same and are closed-source, but great to see the NVIDIA open-source kernel driver bits being mature enough to now be preferred over the proprietary ones on supported GPUs.

How is it open source? In the history of the whole repository, there were 11 merged PRs in 2022 (when the project began), and no merged PRs after, even though lots of PRs have been submitted since then. There has never been an issue-fixing PR merged, and no issues or PRs are submitted by the maintainers of the project.

All of their commits are tagged versions, none of which tell you in words what they did or what changed, it’s clear that they still do their actual development internally, and the GitHub repository does not contain that incremental work. Because the commits are releases only, there are only 65 commits on the main branch from May 2022 to the latest commit/release 4 days ago.

“Hey, it’s totally cool that Microsoft GitHub blocked access to one of the repositories in the very center of the xz backdoor saga,” Michal Woźniak, a white hat hacker who was part of a team that discovered DRM in a Polish train earlier this year wrote on Mastodon. “It’s not like a bunch of people are scrambling to try to make sense of all the right now, or that specific commits got linked to directly from media and blogposts and the like. Cool, cool.”

Security teams that break stuff to mitigate risk and call it fixed is exactly what Linus’s Do No Harm plea is about.

Edit: It’s still disabled

Access to this repository has been disabled by GitHub Staff due to a violation of GitHub’s terms of service.
