Russia can’t escalate any more than they already have without directly attacking the US or with nukes, and in both cases, it’s suicide. They are struggling to take on Ukraine, let alone the US, and literally no country of influence would back them if they attacked or escalated to nukes.

Russia took the US with social media and an election. Not bullets.

I am running Wayland on a 3090 Ti and there are zero tearing issues in KDE plasma 6.2.

I do not know what you mean by “issues with newer hardware”. It has always worked just as well on Linux as it worked on Windows as far as I know.

The 3090Ti, while still an excellent card is hardly "newer hardware" at this point in 2025.

I've been buying CDs and LPs for a while, based on what media the music was recorded for, and I've really been enjoying the things that other commenters have enjoyed about those formats. However, the one thing that this article doesn't mention - in my experience CDs scratch / degrade too, and when they do they become almost entirely unplayable because sometimes it's impossible to skip past the scratch / defect depending on the player. The one huge advantage of digital media is that it doesn't degrade in any meaningful way (aside from random tracks being accidentally deleted, which Apple iTunes Match decided to do to my library a few years ago, after which I never really trusted it again).

That assumes you're using a storage platform that routinely validates the integrity of the data at rest.

> So glad I went with 7900 XTX - should be all set for a couple of years.

Really depends on the use case. For gaming, normal office, smaller AI/ML or video-work, yeah, it's fine. But if you want the RTX 5090 for the VRAM, then the 24GB of the 7900 XTX won't be enough.

So funny because the only reason the 5090 has 32GB of RAM is because AMD put 24GB on the card they released against the 4080.

What point are you trying to make? Arpanet is not the internet and the internet is not Arpanet.

The claim wasn't that it predates any wide area network. It was that it predates the Internet, a specific well known wide area network.

Your lack of understanding of the history of the internet is really not any of my business nor concern.

Literally from the article, emphasis is mine:

> An ASCII artist who goes by the screen name “goto80” told me in an email that, according to his research, the first modern text-based porn was probably sent via teletext. Teletext was a late 70s pre-internet technology for sending text and graphics to a television set, that never quite took off in the way people thought it would at the time.

Predates the web but not the internet.

This title is super weighted, Valve makes it quite clear that users do in fact own a thing, a license for a product on Steam. This is fundamental to games with online DRM.

dualboot · a year ago

It's fundamental to all non-free software.
