For me it means getting a different FP ID on every page refresh, so it never thinks you are the same visitor. I’ve never seen the tests hang at the end, I assume there is something unique it’s doing that is different from other browsers.
Fingerprinting and tracking extras
But can it fool creepjs?
Fark still exists?!
If only I could read it… endless captcha loops for me.
It has newer packages than Debian. And even though Debian releases new stables every couple years, at least historically, it has kept old package versions around for way longer than that. Before I started using ubuntu sometime in the '10s, it was normal for a debian stable package to be upwards of 10 years out of date.
And it wasn’t like today where you have containers/VMs, PPAs, flatpak/appimage/snap/etc… if you needed a newer version of a package for whatever reason, often you couldn’t just compile it yourself or use the testing/unstable one because it had cascading dependencies that were also newer, so you were just screwed. Being able to have a “stable” release with newer packages was a huge draw for Ubuntu.
Those benchmarks compare Wine NTSYNC against upstream vanilla Wine, which means there’s no fsync or esync either. Gamers who use fsync are not going to see such a leap in performance in most games.
If you’re using lutris or proton/etc., you’re probably already using esync/fsync.
My bet would be ulterior motive.
techlore has burned bridges with every group/platform they have attempted to partner with
Linux is not an operating system, it’s just the kernel and has no concept of users/accounts or logging in to anything.
A great many Linux-based distros (“operating systems”) are not under US jurisdiction.
It doesn’t, pretty sure the repo is a joke. Their code doesn’t do anything special, just runs the program you give it.
Yep, the project must be a joke because the code doesn’t actually do anything besides run the specified program normally.
URLs can have newlines too
I think your own statements here are pretty elitist.
“As a rule, strong feelings about issues do not emerge from deep understanding.”
I swear people will never be happy no matter what.
No AI features? Get with the times man.
AI features? High treason.
Opt-out? Not good enough.
Opt-in? Nobody will use it.
Can’t please everyone I guess.
I wonder if you need to explicitly prompt it to check if a function really exists before suggesting it? Think about how a human brain works… we are constantly evaluating whether or not things are really true based on info in our heads… but we are not telling the models to do the same thing and instead they just yolo some shit that is confidently-wrong (not unlike many humans, admittedly).
So 1 month becomes… 2 years?
I know it’s not BSD but, gentoo already does similar with elogind to support all init systems with gnome, so maybe they could use something like that too.
gentoo uses elogind to emulate the systemd interfaces required by gnome
You can alter your PAM configuration to require both: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/572841
On my system, by default it lets you use either one to authenticate any time a password is needed, but this can be changed to require successful authentication using BOTH methods if desired.
I wasn’t sure if you were wanting to require both, or just allow either one to be used, but both scenarios are trivial to configure.
Tell that to all the people whose google accounts of 20+ years got locked out with zero recourse or warning.
