Sentau, to asklemmy in Would you choose invisibility or teleportation?

Actually light does experience time in its own frame of reference. For somebody observing(us in this example) the light or any object that moves at the speed of light in vacuum, it would seem that object is not experiencing time at all, that is, if there was clock on the object and we tried to measure the time that clock reads, it would give the same number as the result of the reading irrespective of when or where we measure it in our frame of reference.

Sentau, (edited ) to linux in What is the best distro for gaming?

I have got an old shit laptop and I don’t see this. Can you verify this using mangohud¿?

Sentau, (edited ) to linux in OBS Studio 30 Released with Support for Intel QSV H264, HEVC, and AV1 on Linux

It has been some time since I tried out Nobara so I might be wrong. I just remember that Nobara page lists having amf encoder support out of the box as a feature

While I don’t know how, I do know that there is a way to have mesa for most things while having AMF encoder for encoding. Nobara has this set up out of the box so there is some way. Maybe you could search for it using a search engine

Sentau, (edited ) to piracy in Do you donate to FOSS projects?

You most probably won’t need to donate to cancer research. It is already being funded in the hope that the medicines developed will bring in the dough once they are ready

Sentau, to linux in GNOME Recognized as Public Interest Infrastructure

Yeah I forgot about monitor support. Guess that’s pretty important. But is pixel shifting gnome’s responsibility or should that be done through monitor firmware so that it’s OS agnostic¿?

Sentau, (edited ) to linux in GNOME Recognized as Public Interest Infrastructure

These discussions took place several years ago if I remember correctly. The problem seems to be that cursor seems to want to refresh at a different rate than the content in screen and the people at gnome want the cursor to not feel choppy by being refreshed at the vrr determined refresh rate

Sentau, to linux in Fedora 39 Released with GNOME 45, Linux 6.5 + More

Wasn’t fedora 38 already on linux 6.5. Why is that touted as feature of fedora 39¿?

Sentau, to linux in Am I going off the deep end by considering Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite?

Well for me it auto updates and stages in the background. There is config file /etc/rpm-ostreed.conf in which you can set the AutomaticUpdatePolicy to stage. Then it will automatically check for updates once a day(I think) and will download and stage it. The update is then applied when you shutdown or reboot

Sentau, to linux in Am I going off the deep end by considering Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite?

Why did you find the need to use the rpm-ostree command¿? Isn’t the purpose of immutability to use flatpaks and containers to get all your apps/software

Sentau, to linux in Linux Kernel 6.6 Officially Released

The gap between 6.5 launching and 6.6 launching seems smaller than normal.

Edit : looking back this is not the case. It is the same 2 months between releases. Man time flies

Sentau, (edited ) to privacyguides in Google forced to reveal users' search histories in Colorado court ruling

Yes I think that’s weak grounds. And so does the judge who presided over the case as well as several other judges who deemed the warrant as unconstitutional. The only reason the evidence was allowed was because the judge declared that the justice system broke the rules in good faith. I haven’t read the warrant request either just forming my opinion from articles on the issue.

I think that the warrant was issued on weak grounds because what the cops had was a hunch (a calculated one but still a hunch). They had no proof that the perpetrators/murderers searched for the apartment. It is not like they identified that searches for that addressed spiked at some point and served a warrant for those ip addresses during that spike. They just asked for all ip addresses in the last 15 days and that was because they did not have evidence pointing towards a search just a calculated hunch.

Edit : This precedent will have a lot of avenues for misuse. In States were abortion is banned, police can request warrants for abortion searches without the warrant specifying who specifically they are searching for and then investigate women whose ip addresses show up on the list. These will be woman whom the cops had zero evidence against, women who were not even suspects before an unconstitutional warrant like this makes them one.

But Google didn’t. They were forced by a warrant which was issued on grounds so weak, that judges themselves agreed that it was unconstitutional.

My comment was in context of the comment above and not in the context of the article.

What you said is all true and is what I was trying to explain to the guy above that usually warrants need proof/probable cause to be issued.

This is like going to a hotel and asking to see a list of people who stayed in the hotel last week because the suspect is probably staying nearby.

And the hotel can deny to provide this information if it is an informal request. Only with a warrant will they forced to give up that list and a judge issuing the order will want some proof as why the police believe the suspect stayed in the hotel.

I am not a lawyer so I could be wrong about the criteria for the issue of warrants.
