By proxy. Iran is in bed with Russia.

1. If they were, do you think they’d say so? " Whoopsie! You got us."
2. Why would they kill their own guy?

The international legion is made up of people from around the world, not just the US. It’s not under US command. US civilians can act as they wish. Their actions are not the actions of their country.

The story you link is Biden relaxing US corporations taking up supply and support contracts. The article even says that these organisations will NOT be fighting, yet you willfully misinterpret it.

The USA, the country, is not in Ukraine.

The Americans aren’t in the war. They’re just dealing in arms.

I’m not sure there is. The whole point of these anti-cheat systems is to detect running on modified setups that allow for the injection of code. An emulator is one such system.

Anti-cheat “compatibility” means allowing software kernel level access and after Crowd strike I think that tide will be turning even on Windows.

Anti-cheat will change. Not Linux IMHO.

…because removing somebody’s kernel maintainer priv and the industrialised genocide of people is remotely comparable.

It’s space cuties! Arrrggghhh!

Not the west. The global community.

…and should Israel be under sanctions? Absolutely.

personally i don’t agree with sanctioning foss communities.

Foss communities aren’t being sanctioned. Whole countries are. It’s the same limitation whatever enterprise you’re in.

If Olympians have to renounce their country to take part in global competition, why do you not think a software developer wouldn’t have to do the same to be involved in a global project?

Lol! Why should software get an exception over any other industry?

Stupid or not, it is the state of the world. It’s not down to Linus to do anything but live and work within the situation constructed by the governments of nation states.

The cold war is reborn and this time it’s warmer. Do people not understand that before 30 years ago no communication occured with countries behind the iron curtain. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine put us on a path back to those kind of relations.

I don’t think anyone is saying it isn’t public money. More than Ukrain isn’t on the hook to repay the loan after the war like the UK was to the US after WW2.

Ewwww! Hard pass.

I’ll keep with the old way thanks. Sure, pytorch installs are a pain in the butt, but that’s why I’m pretty sure a pre-packaged version is not going to make life easier. I also despise electron apps.

I realise as somebody who isn’t afraid of a little command line Linux, I’m not the target audience. However, is anyone who is using diffusion models right now… especially someone who isn’t scared off by noodles… asking for this? The software is for experimenters who enjoy building their own flows. It’s mode of operation is “some assembly required”.

Kodi isn’t commercialised. I’m not sure what you’re referring to. It’s open source and always has been.

I also have the *arrs running on that same box so new episodes appear automatically. They require a browser or other client, so I didn’t include it in my list. They just run in the background.

So that one doesn’t talk to the Jellyfin process. It just understands the way Jellyfin organises things on disk. Right?

You then access the files via NFS, SMB or WebDav (the horror!)

Just checking I understand.

A few things for me:

• I had most of the parts to build a low power machine that’s passively cooled. No noise whilst watching video.
• I can have a locally stored library so don’t need a NAS running 24/7 elsewhere in the house supping power.
• I can have multiple things running on it like games as well as media giving me a PC gaming console (fans come on at that point).
• Never have to drive it through my phone or a tablet. It’s just on the TV remote. Ease of use is great.
• No money to Amazon, Google or similar companies that just want to data farm me.

Kodi works very well for me with a local library. Serving it from Jellyfin was a mess (Jellycon). I think primarily this is a Kodi problem as really it should support DLNA servers much much better, and then a add-on wouldn’t be needed.

I was asking the op what desktop environment they’re running, in response to their question

…and I was informing you that, given they are looking for an alternative to Kodi, they may not be running a DE.

There are differences in pronunciation, at least for my southern British dialect. “Your” is said “yorr”. “You’re” is said “yeur” and is far closer to the “you are” it comes from. It’s just said at speed blending the words.
