on The state of European cloud providers in 2026 in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Sep 2026
At the point where you are looking for a “cloud” provider you are already on a path doomed to fail. I like how he points out the “budget” version for “1 vcpu, 2 GB of RAM” at 8,60 € / month, when you get that at netcup for 3 € / month.
Also, when you book a server for 1 month at netcup, use it 10 days and cancel it, they actually refund your money for the remaining 20 days. I have experienced that personally.

on Why is Google still serving dodgy ads? in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Sep 2026
This is really only an issue if you browse the WWW without adblock.
And it seems that this guy does it on a mobile device, which is the second mistake.

Just install it, try to install KDE (Gnome is the main desktop of Fedora), see if it works, if you like it, and if you can tolerate the slow ass package manager that is yum.
Should take you about 30 minutes; no need to be rude about it.
You can even try it in your browser if you think setting up a VM is too much time wasted: distrosea.com/de/start/fedora-44-kde/

Just try it for yourself in a VM and you will see.

on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement in c/games@lemmy.world · 4 Sep 2026
I can see it for porn games too but I’ve not played more than a few and didn’t really see the appeal
I bet someone is already working on using this new technology to project arbitrary celebrities into porn games.

on Linus Torvalds used AI to fix a Linux bug, and now LLM critics on Linux face an uncomfortable choice in c/technology@lemmy.world · 1 Sep 2026
Any engineer fighting the use of LLM’s will ultimately find that their peers are achieving more in a shorter time then they are.
How do you measure that?
I am asking because I tried all the AI coding tools (copilot, cursor, claude code, etc.), even the paid versions, to find the utopia that doubles my productivity where lots of people are talking about. But everytime I find they take more time to generate code than me typing it, they rarely get things right the first time, they produce way more code than needed (which is much more to reason about) and all in all it takes longer to achieve something using “AI” instead of doing it on my own.
The worst results are the ones that seem to be correct, but can only be found incorrect on closer inspection. For instances, a part of my job is to write data collection applications for sensors; those sensors come with a datasheet (usually 100 to 200 pages) that explain how to “talk” to the sensor. Sounds perfect for an LLM - throw the datasheet in, get a small C application out. But either I get something that does not even compile, or something that seems to collect data, but configures the sensor completely wrong. Debugging that takes more time than just working through the datasheet myself and program it myself.

This is a cool demonstration, especially with the parameters and animations, but man I hate these “made with <3” footers so much. They were everywhere in the 2010s and my hope was that they had died out by now, but apparently not.

on World's largest open library calls for volunteers to scan and preserve physical books as AI companies buy, scan, and destroy them — Anna's Archive says ‘time is running out’ as ‘knowledge is permanent in c/technology@lemmy.world · 26 Aug 2026
The headline does not contain any clickbait-typical elements, for instance
- Most of The Words Capitalized
- A question mark at the end
- "You won’t believe’
- etc.

cloud saves
I never needed that since Steam introduced them 15 years ago (or more). It is just annoyed having to wait for that.
gametime tracking
Why would you need that? But lutris does this.
some achievements (dont care about those)
Yeah me neither.
of course you can easily backup your Games
You can easily backup your GoG games by just downloading the zip file.

built in support for gog, epic games
Lutris also has that.
Maybe it is just a matter of taste. Personally I would never use any launcher to launch my gog games, because I think the whole advantage of gog is to have the game in a convenient zip file.

I did not configure anything, I just installed it from the debian repository.

a bit faster and lighter on resources.
Can’t confirm. I have two VMs with an identical image (about 200 MB).
Docker: Pulling the image takes about 10 seconds and needs about 200 MB diskspace.
Podman: Pulling the image takes about 15 minutes and needs about 110 GB diskspace.
Docker: Commands like “docker ps”, “docker stop” etc. run in a few seconds.
Podman: Commands like “podman ps”, “podman stop” etc. take at least one minute.

That “article” is obviously AI generated; that whole page should be blocked from this community.

on Linus Torvalds says AI has made 'huge' Linux kernel updates the new normal in c/technology@lemmy.world · 12 Aug 2026
You should read the original article, or even his mail on LKML, because that is not what he is saying. He is not endorsing AI in any way; instead, he is concerned that the latest linux release candidate has so much changes, because everyone and their mother is using some AI tool to create and send “little small” fixes; obviously he has no control over how volunteers work.
Furthermore, he stated that the security mailing list has become unusable due to the influx of AI generated entries.
Most personal blogs I stumble upon are written by people who actually have not much to say. The post timeline usually is like:
<months of nothing>
<months of nothing>
Back in the day, personal websites where actually interesting because they were made by people with interesting topics, e.g. some Italian grandma sharing her tomato sauce recipes, or a huge page with nothing but Diablo 1 hacking by some student.
Nowadays it is 90% people who work in a 9-5 IT/software job, writing the same stuff as everyone else.
