I don’t think many people know about sim-swap attacks, so they think people knowing their phone number is fine.
Honestly I wish people would just fucking get rid of phone-number-based OTP anyways. TOTP is where it’s at.
This is or was part of their anti-spam/flooding protection. In the server admin dashboard, you can require a phone number on the account or you can disable it and allow users without verified phone numbers to participate.
They do not require this just for a discord account last I checked. It’s likely due to whatever discord server you’re trying to join.
Same for Twitch. Same for a Microsoft account. It’s become the new normal.
To be fair, decades to destroy. This has been slowly culminating since before I was even born. Maybe before my parents were born.
Occupy was infiltrated by our government by people meant to destroy it from the inside. They incited people and then arrested them for it. This isn’t something that simply died off, they’ve mastered being able to co-opt an idea, push it the way they want, propagandize FUD around it, and then make it disappear.
Honestly Arch is fine as a beginner distro for the right person - The benefit of arch is the rolling release model and the fact that it’s closer to edge than other distros. No; I don’t want to use that package that’s 6 months out of date – Compile it myself? Well, then why would I run a ‘stable’ distro then?
Someone being on Linux instead of Windows is enough of a win for me. I’m going to praise whatever way they want to approach it, none of this purism shit.
Likewise, SteamOS is based on Arch because of the way it’s architected in the first place. It’s fine to want that. Now…if this were Gentoo on the other hand…
Pay all of your bills in person in pennies from now on.
Nobody is bitching. Rage less. My constructive point is that NVidia is a better option. NVidia’s CUDA stack is software - and unfortunately for us, that means it’s also paired with their hardware.
Many people care if choosing something is going to hobble their workflow. In this point, if you’re using Blender, choosing AMD is going to hobble your productivity. I’m just stating facts.
It was the opposite experience for me last time I tried an AMD card. But that was like 8 years ago.
Blender works with AMD hardware just great
No it doesn’t. That’s our point. It works 30% as fast as its competition. That’s not “working just great”…it’s working slowly and like shit. The whole damn point of a GPU is to accelerate that work. The work that your AMD-HIP is doing in blender, could take an hour, and the NVidia would pump it out in 20 minutes.
Everyone’s gonna suggest AMD here because of your requirement of no-proprietary drivers; but unless you’re some sort of high-value target to a foreign government, I honestly choose the more pragmatic route of just using the proprietary NVidia driver and going NVidia. Especially if I’m not budget constrained on card.
The fact of the matter is, AMD has just simply fallen behind. NVidia cards are (and have been for like 3 generations now) more performant. There is good reason why they dominate the market right now; they’re just simply better.
It really depends on how far you want to take your zealotry on open source; there are parts of the CPU microcode that can see everything you do. Those are proprietary. Your bios is proprietary. You’re probably running 100 different proprietary blobs even IF you choose not to use the drivers that NVidia supplies; so why hobble yourself with a slower card that doesn’t have CUDA instructions? (often also very good for AI work if you are interested in that at all)
I certainly understand wanting to push that direction for the sake of pushing that direction but - is performance and stability less important than using a proprietary driver?
“Works great” and “Could work 3x faster” matter to a lot of people.
Not on Lemmy, no. Healthy, Attractive, and Non-ADHD/Autistic people are out in the real world, with friends or at their jobs.
Enough with the racism.
Imaginary Taste, don’t have it. Imaginary smells, also don’t have it. Imaginary voices? – Might wanna see a doctor about that…
Well, I guess technically a lot of people have that. There was a whole community dedicated to “GIFs you can hear” once.
The architecture doesn’t determine the power draw so much as the system design. I’ve got a Chromebox running an i3 and sipping 4.5w at idle.
Calling him a woman does nothing to insult women. Stop pearl clutching. It’s an insult to the mans ego because of HIS beliefs, not ours. Buncha professional victims you lot are.
Honestly, that price for registration is tempting.
Fucking “.sucks” is $270+ to register!! O_O Fuck that.
.com it’s cheap, it’s available, I don’t have to worry about a country pulling the thing out from under me, it’s standard in people’s minds (people don’t know what a URI/URL is, but they know what a .com is immediately)
AI has been here for years now before you even knew it. Reddit employed fake users for a long time to make the site seem more active than it actually was. Before AI, they just had mass amounts of people pushing things. Now they can do it on the cheap.
