  • I can say though that the implementation of adaptive sync is not 100% perfect on Linux. My Freesync display flickers visibly on all the major DEs and WMs with adaptive sync enabled, looks fine with it off, and it worked normally on windows when I tested that without a flicker. But it’s almost certainly some specific quirk of my hardware











  • I don’t care much for proxmox but that’s because I live in the terminal anyway and have a lot of experience administering Linux systems. So for me it’s just an extra layer of complexity, the benefits don’t really apply when my setup has IaC, most of my containers are in Podman rather than LXCs, my backups are automated with my own scripts and cronjobs, and I only run a couple of VMs. Also it makes encrypting the base system more difficult than it is with a standard distro



  • Liberalism is a conservative ideology. Conservative meaning maintaining the status quo, which liberalism does for economic, foreign, and social policy

    Edit: down vote all you want but it is true. The last time liberalism was progressive was when the divine right of kings was law of the land.

    Political ideologies can broadly be categorized as reactionary (supports a real or perceived status quo ante), conservative (supports maintenance of status quo), and progressive (supports developing new systems). There are the axes of social views, economic views, etc that we apply these to. The major political parties in the US are centered around variants of liberalism, the ideology of individual rights and private property, which is focused on the status quo of imperialism, discriminatory social hierarchies, and capitalism. There are those who think these systems don’t go far enough in their repression, especially but not exclusively within the GOP. They are reactionaries. Progressive ideologies only find any foothold on the very fringes of the DNC, but they are fighting against the policies and institutions of the party itself, not really influencing it fundamentally.

    So frustrating. Anybody who thinks these policies are ‘pragmatic’ or that ‘LLMs are bad but we can’t fight the trend’ needs to reassess. Just because something exists doesn’t mean it has to be used, especially with the dubious “benefits” on offer by these tools. Personally I will do everything I reasonably can to not run LLM code, and it’s exhausting that such major projects are relenting on this and brushing aside all of the valid criticism these things get. The madness of another hype cycle but it actively poisons existing projects this time
