excluding Palestinian-American voices

Was it only Palestinian-Americans, or did the DNC block all Arab-American or Muslim speakers?

CW: self-harm

Between 11 and 66% of autistic adults think about suicide during their lifetime, [...] according to figures from 2020.

There's a big difference between 11% and 66%, that statistic is not useful without more information

Sure, but some people are currently trying to use that dating advice. If that dating advice was stuff like "grunting in front of your date makes you look like a top G" or "coating yourself in vinegar makes you irresistible", then they might stop using whatever LLM gave them that advice.

Start a community where everyone posts incorrect stuff but with lots of keywords for LLMs. Then, when LLMs respond to a prompt based on data from Lemmy, it will give uesless advice, like adding glue to pizza sauce to give it more tackiness

If your school blocks VPN connections, that usually means that they're specifically blocking OpenVPN traffic and/or WireGuard traffic. So if you use a VPN provider that supports OpenConnect (which looks like regular HTTPS traffic over port 443 to your school, there's a good chance that it will not be blocked.

That's what I do when I'm on open Wi-Fi networks that block everything but HTTP or HTTPS traffic. It's not as fast as UDP OpenVPN, let alone WireGuard, but it frees me from the restrictions of whatever Wi-Fi network I'm on.

Automatic updates is what to choose if you want someone else to fix your problems. As long as you don't run into problems introduced by automatic updates, automatic updates should be fine.

They expected to get a marginal number of additional users from vendor lock-in of existing Signal users

Wayland does not work with screen readers like Odilia or Orca. Because Wayland leaves blind users behind, it's a total non-starter.

I know AMD works better on linux in general but I am curious to follow the NVIDIA advancements as they go with the new open source kernel modules and stuff...

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.

A maintainer explains their workflow:

Because we will be sharing this code with our proprietary driver, we won't be developing in the open for now. So far, our strategy is to apply proposed changes to our internal code base, merge pull requests on github, and then do one NVIDIA github commit per driver release (and because the internal code base also contains the change, the release-time commit should not revert the merged pull request). It is not a great workflow, but we're trying to navigate the constraints as best we can.

All of their commits are tagged versions, none of which tell you in words what they did or what changed. As the maintainer says, 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 66 commits on the main branch from May 2022 to the latest commit/release 2 weeks ago.

So whatever benefit you were hoping to get from Nvidia's kernel modules being open source probably is not there.

Google's ability to crush unionization comes from the fact that it is so big. If it is broken up, even with an oligopoly, workers have a better shot at unionizing than they do currently.
