Israel’s tech sector has always had a close relationship with Silicon Valley, with funding for its start ups coming from venture capital and US ‘Big Tech’. With some employees at the tech giants protesting the involvement of their companies, could this relationship be in trouble?

  • Paul Biggar - Tech For Palestine founder
  • Bella Jacobs - BDS Tech Campaigns Co-ordinator

Starting with Fedora 42 the KDE Edition will be at the same level as the Fedora Workstation Edition that uses GNOME.

Yeah, most newcomers don't even know about the spins and labs since they are quite hidden. So this is a great thing for getting Fedora KDE Spin on an equal footing in visibility and promotion.

[–] JRepin@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah they are more visible/promoted and offered for downloads on the same equal level as other editions. Otherwise spins and labs can be quite hidden from peopel who do not know they exist.

 

This article compares two tools, Sanitizers and Valgrind, that find memory bugs in programs written in memory-unsafe languages. These two tools work in very different ways. Therefore, while Sanitizers (developed by Google engineers) presents several advantages over Valgrind, each has strengths and weaknesses. Note that the Sanitizers project has a plural name because the suite consists of several tools, which we will explore in this article.

 

gccrs is a work-in-progress alternative compiler for Rust being developed as part of the GCC project. GCC is a collection of compilers for various programming languages that all share a common compilation framework. You may have heard about gccgo, gfortran, or g++, which are all binaries within that project, the GNU Compiler Collection. The aim of gccrs is to add support for the Rust programming language to that collection, with the goal of having the exact same behavior as rustc.

Petition Summary: The petitioner calls for the European Union to actively develop and implement a Linux-based operating system, termed ‘EU-Linux’, across public administrations in all EU Member States. This initiative aims to reduce dependency on Microsoft products, ensuring compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and promoting transparency, sustainability, and digital sovereignty within the EU. The petitioner emphasizes the importance of using open-source alternatives to Microsoft 365, such as LibreOffice and Nextcloud, and suggests the adoption of the E/OS mobile operating system for government devices. The petitioner also highlights the potential for job creation in the IT sector through this initiative.

Install pam_pkcs11 package, which contains the missing library

And even if you are paying for it... Unless the product is opensource and free as in freedom so you can for example self-host it, study the code, change the code (or contract someone else to change it for you) so the product runs just as you want.

I am also gaming a lot and used nvidia in the past and by the description you give I would say openSUSE Tumbleweed is the one. It is rolling release, but they also have extensive QA tests before letting packages get released as updates so it is very stable for a rolling release. And another thing that openSUSE is awesome for is that they have BTRFS snappshotting very nicely configured out of the box so before and after each update it creates a snappshot and if something goes wrong you can just select an old working snappshot from GRUB boot menu. And with Nvidia this breakage was happening well more often the I would like. I also like their Open Build Service where you can find many additional packages which might not be packaged by distro people themselves.

They do give a refund for this. I got it after they added it to EA Sports WRC. Explained to them that it was not in the original contract and that it prevents me using the product I licensed on Steam Deck and GNU/Linux and they refunded me.

Yeah it should be called idiotMouse

My favourite Matrix client is NeoChat.

Agree and hope it brings even better GNU/Linux gaming support, as it is the OS that is in this democratic users/people owned operating system, just as other free as in freedom and opensource collaborative software. In this regard Valve does quite a very good job of improving and sponsoring GNU/Linux, Mesa drivers KDE and other opensource projects. What all other gaming companies fail terribly at. What comes after Valve must be even better at it.

Well and behind it is stealing other peoples’ work (posts and comments, moderation and administration) and selling them as yours. The oldest capitalist criminal trick in the book: privatization AKA primitive accumulation AKA enclosure of the commons.
