Hmm, interesting…

But we learned now, that your desktop somehow isn’t reaching your DNS (pi-hole) until restart of Network Manager

So next thing i would do is traceroute and dig on your desktop while it is not working, to see what DnS is used in this state

Do you see the dns calls in pi-hole when it is not reaching its destination?

Passwords should not exist anymore in 2026 in my opinion (passkey, webAuthIn, OICD, SAML2, etc)

Not really in use due to time constraints but i have installed pro-audio, which is a nice collection of linux compatible audio software:

Games don’t cost more because of DLSS…
D-K after two sentences? Peak irony.

You can just not ship DLSS 5 in your game…

I don’t see any need to boycott this, especially not as gamers, as you can just disable DLSS 5 if you don’t like it.

I interpret this statement from New Blood boss as fear that their games without DLSS 5 won’t compete well against those with it available.
I don’t share this fear, as there was often new technology to art stuff more easy, like digital art, electronic music, digital cameras, higher resolutions etc.
It always made the traditional art style more valuable not less, as people are motivated to pay a premium for “authentic” art.

So my conclusion: Art that is targeted at mainstream / big quantity / fast release cycles has benefit in AI and has to use it to stay competitive, but in the other hand mainstream art has always been live-less / unhuman anyway, so I am not very sad about this.
“Real” Art that is done by Artists for themselves not made to be like by as many people as possible will grow in value and maybe even get more popular again as people may get fed up from re-iterating art that works (e.g. pop songs)

It melts salt, isn’t it?

Switzerland: my dad had to go to prison for a limited time for refusing military service and had to do an alternative service as well.

I was able to opt-out military in a normal way (just filling a form) and do the alternative service without going to jail, as this was changed in the time between

But the alternative service are 1.5x times the days you have to serve

🤫Linux with Plasma does exactly this

I did win 11 install like this:

1. Install windows
2. On login screen create a throwaway Account (mine was somthing like noAccount253@outlook.com)
3. Decline all the adware
4. in Settings create new Account
5. say you don’t know the ms Account of that user
6. chose to set up user without ms Account
7. upgrade new user to admin
8. log in as newly created user
9. delete user lonked to burner MS Account

Nice Little Side effect is, that like this, MS gets flooded with dead accounts 😁

Exactly, making it possible for admins (parents) to set up systems with rules based on age for their many children

But it seems like it is not widely offered by public instances…

Edit: seems to be planned for 1.0 release (major update after 0.19 if I understood that correctly)

Ok?

“right to root” would prevent so much eWaste.
I would love a variant that is like, if you stop delivering security and minor fixes/backports to a device, you have to give access to root or better even to the bootloader.

For me, it was around 2013 an iPad nano, thinking how awesome having an iPhone with unlimited internet would be, because I could listen anything on demand on the go Then I got my 4s as first self bought iPhone.
I realised, how macOS like it is, as I had jailbroken it.

You should use Arch, then you can update every 15 minutes 🤭

Indeed completely forgot those…

Personally I don’t connect opiates not with rich folks, but that may be regional and due to my age

Drugs =/= Drugs

But it kinda makes sense with coke and K…

Other drugs are either not that addictive / live destroying ( thinking MD/Acid) or too cheap low quality drugs (meth etc.) that don’t fit into the rich kid setting.

Of course MD and acid can have their place in the story, but I would concentrate on coke and K for realism.
