How did you post this comment 2 hours before the video was released

Migrating from CentOS 7 to Ubuntu/RHEL9 is actually super easy. I was part of the team that did the migration couple months ago, and to be honest, it couldn't have been more breezy. We moved from CentOS7 to ubi9-minimal, and except the change in package manager, it wasn't much work.
Just wanted to mention the free software foundation. Often they get criticized, but their lobbying in our name did get proper results.
Yep. I am critical of them often as well, but this time, they did good
You do have to give them credit for the GNU coreutils like bash, tar, and all of the commands that run on top of the Linux kernel. Some of their more recent decisions have been questionable, but their early work is extremely important because Linux in its current form would not exist without Richard Stallman and his team (like Linus Toravlds said, a kernel by itself gets you nowhere).
I feel like FSF Europe does all the innovative things while the FSF just sit and grouch on their own.
@@Beryesa.That is my feeling as well. The FSFE appears much more alive than the FSF. It really is disheartening that the FSF is in the state it is.
They’re pretty much the PETA of Libre , in the context of “they used to do really well and advocate for great causes but turned extreme and into a joke”.
If the EU government stops using office 365 and replaces it with FOSS software like libreoffice, this might set a good example for other office workers and reduce the dependencies people have on windows
my dad's job as a civil servant actually started using FOSS alternatives to office 365 (at least word, excel and power point i think) about 10 years ago and they still use libre office to this day. It's of course far from being perfect as they still use windows and the desktop version of outlook, but it's definitely been a step in the right direction.
Germany tried that already about 20 years ago. Look for the LiMux....
@@octoprogYou should get them introduced to Thunderbird, for emails. very solid.
Any government must secure support for any FOSS product they employ. The argument I keep making to the government's which provide services to me is that they are currently all supporting the economy of Washington State, whereas they could contract with a domestic support company, which means they would also get much of their support payments back as taxes.
One big issue with M$Office Is that all large organizations have scripts and procedures which are tied to specific features and unique behaviour of M$Office. Dealing with that will require an upfront investment.
The most annoying consequence of this addiction to Micro$oft is that when I tried to obtain forms from my provincial government, the government website refused to send the PDFs to my browser because it checked the response from the browser and found that I did not have Adobe Acrobat installed. I did not have it installed because Micro$oft used its financial clout to force Adobe to *eliminate* support for Linux.
Apart from game conservation, there are other things like playing games with different form factors, controllers, and additional accessibility options (both of which Yuzu offered and Nintendo didn't). Hopefully at some point we'll get more legal protection for the emulators, so the developers have solid reasons to not be afraid.
I used Yuzu to play Pikmin 4 through Parsec with an internet friend that lives in another country. While we did not end up playing all that long because of the emulator issues we encountered, i think that's a good example of something you just can't do without emulation, even if both players own the console and game.
They shouldn't have touched the unreleased game. By virtue of being unreleased there would be no way to get a legal copy. So anyone taking advantage of their optimizations has to first pirate the game. Thus they encouraged piracy prior to the games release.
Nintendo is just evil. Many of the others went away on their own, but the impact was just too much on emulation
Nintendo won't see a cent from me.
It is always morally justified to pirate Nintendo games
Sadly there is nothing interesting from them to emulate 😅
@@HamidKarzai Pirating just give them more revelance. I'd rather not even play their games or even remember they exist.
I don't play Nintendo games anymore. I had already been moving more and more to PC and then also the Steam Deck when it came out as that was more powerful than the Nintendo Switch by a HUGE margin, more open than any traditional console, and aligned well with my values as a Linux user and right to repair advocate (they partnered with iFixit for replacement parts). The Yuzu threats were the final straw in my nearly 20 years as a former Nintendo fan and one who had all of their consoles from the GameBoy Advance and GameCube (and the Nintendo 64 before it, which i got after the Wii released) up to and including the Switch. I certainly won't be getting the Switch's successor (almost all of the games that I could buy on the Switch are also on Steam or Epic Games and are better on PC / Steam Deck) and I have been encouraging other people to treat Nintendo the way the treat their fans, because they deserve to be treated like shit for this and the Etika Joy Con incident.
Well, gaming companies want people to pay for the latest live service games which are also heavily censored opposed to playing the original games for free.
Been watching the Linux & open source news series from you for a while now, but this is the first episode I've watched after I (finally) switched to Linux!
Nice!
Welcome home
Very good bro.
Welcome to the dark side... you will like it here.😀
Nice! What distro? Have you been happy with it so far? I've been on the hunt for a distro to recommend to Windows users that's easy to install and (importantly) has some obvious benefits over Windows.
That's very cool that FSFE managed to get that win. I only started donating to them a few months ago. It's nice to see I picked an effective group to support.
Its hard to not hate nintendo …
Embrace the hate. They're one of the ones keeping proprietary platforms alive. They could just make Steam Deck clones and sell their games on Steam, but they don't.
Nintendo is one of the few companies that make finished single-player games in the AAA space. Not to mention that instead of firing people to save money, their CEO took a pay cut. As awful as Nintendo can be, things like this make it hard to hate them.
@@MrGamelover23 And then, they delete someone's UA-cam channel for uploading content that they don't allow to be uploaded even if the person have purchased their products to make some playthroughs. By the way, recently, Capcom has given their employees a salary increase instead of fire them. That makes Capcom a good company? No, they did that for their own benefit, to prevent that their employees leave them for another company.
@@panchopistolas2593 Capcom also is making an active effort to support Linux. Sure, they added a new Invasive DRM that broke Steam Deck compatibility, but they said in the patch notes they were working to fix Steam Deck compatibility. So Capacom is a goated company.
@@panchopistolas2593I mean, what capcom did is strategy, but in a way that’ll make employees incentivised to be more loyal.
(Disclaimer, I haven’t done any research and my source is your comment)
I think it's important to mention that the actual Cosmic-Desktop release is apparently unaffected by the alpha pushback as far as System76 is reporting it.
Yep!
@TheLinuxExperiment There are exceptions for the 10 years rule. For example, for medical data, this is 10 years rule after the person has been declared dead. If the patient is still alive, this is 20 years after the last visit to the health facility or practitioner, and if the patient was minor then and the 20 years period ends before their 28th birthday, the period is extended until the patient's 28th birthday. And data relating to blood transfusion is to be kept for 30 years. (A certain tainted blood scandal decades ago is probably involved.)
For the 10 years after death, I guess this is because on one hand, a dead people's health data can still relevant to their living relatives diagnostics, and on the other it covers most scenarios where the person was declared death while their body is still missing (both to identify the body later or if they are still alive) or if there was misidentification of a body.
Not just better training against social engineering, but better segmentation of the database. If every database is just one big blob, if it is breached it is game over. Instead of one big vault, make it 10 smaller vaults, that way when a breach happens, less people get affected.
Yes, this mentality is critical. It's impossible to prevent 100% of all hacks. The best thing to do is mitigate potential impact while being harder to hack than the average.
Exactly. Plus I would add the data should have encryption on storage with offloaded or remote one-time key decryption.
If you have one system that needs access to the entire dataset (which is like 100% of all cases) then such segmentation does not make sense - it makes administration harder without providing any additional security - if you breach that one system, you have access to all data.
You must remember that no one actually breaches databases - the database itself is always segregated and can't be directly accessed from the internet (unless your network admin is really dumb). All breaches are the attacker compromising an application that has access to the database.
@@guss77yes, I was confused the comment got so many upvotes. Intuition dictates you'd want to centralise databases as much as possible so you have fewer to protect.
The apps should themselves be segregated and the data those apps can access should only be the data absolutely necessary for that app to run. Why is name and contact data associated with pension data, for example? Each bit of information should be stored in separate databases accessed by different apps, and anonymizing tokens should be used for all of it. Associating data together may make an organization's jobs slightly easier, but it's a bad idea for data security. An attacker should have to compromise multiple apps to actually make any useful associations between data.
I'm waiting for the 6.9 kernel. ;)
Nice

You didn't really mention that the reason for the COSMIC delay is not that they are not progressing as fast as they thought, but rather they are progressing faster than anticipated. So they are delaying the release of the first alpha because they are skipping the planned first alpha entirely, and going for the second one which is supposed to include all of the apps. For this reason they need a bit more time for polish them.
So these are actually great news.
That's very usefull context. Thanks!
thanks
pushing back cosmic is for the best IMO, i would rather cosmic release with a fully feature-complete suite of apps than release with gnome apps as default or unfinished alpha software, only a couple months not too long, i think it's for the best.
A cosmic release without cosmetic issues 🥁🔔
I'm kind of surprised they only postponed it to May... I tried COSMIC both bare metal and in VM and it feels really raw, both UI and functionality wise... I guess they will postpone it again and release at 24.09
@@lmnk Nothing's been postponed. It's also not raw. We already met the requirements for our Alpha 1 goal, but our applications are so close to being finished that we decided to skip the first Alpha and go straight to Alpha 2.
@@mmsticknice to know. I’m getting anxious. You know how fickle distro hopping Linux users are. 😂
@@mmstick Thanks for clarification. Eill this mean 24.04 get COSMIC DE as an update once Alpha 2 is released, and be shipped with GNOME before, or it will be relesed in May too?
The raw-ness is my personal experience, not trying to offend anyone.
Correction: the COSMIC Files app is using a header bar, and it is also the third app to feature a menu inside of its header bar. The text editor and terminal were also previously featured with the same menu items in their header bars. The interface guidelines for COSMIC will be very different from GNOME. Menus are acceptable and recommended in some applications.
Menu bars are present in almost all COSMIC apps currently, however they are inside the client-side headerbar, unlike Plasma.
Does that mean they are using CSD or SSD (csd - you can integrate more stuff in titlebar but it wont look good on other desktops, ssd - only stuff desktop allows you to put there is in titlebar, but every desktop can set its own so it looks at home on every desktop)
@@jasamkravaCosmic uses CSD for their native apps
@@temari2860 thanks (im sad now)
honestly, it's such a cool thing that the eu Investigates itself. IMO it's such a good sign that checks and balances work as they should. big fan of that move.
The government in Brussels is a massive cluster screw, but now and again they get something right in the interest of citizens of European nations. But hey a broken clock is right twice a day.
FYI: MVPs are very rarely supposed to be feature complete. An MVP delivers basic functionality, but the M in MVP says only the most important functions. ie. Open, main task, save, close, no crash.
Different sources say: Build a minimum set of features that enable you to gather feedback from visionary early adopters. - Build only what is required.
So your review has to wait. That's Alpha stage.
What you were thinking about was beta stage. beta generally has all features, but not production stable. 👍🏽
For anyone interested, the TCP improvement patch is wild in its ingenuity and you should definitely check it out if you are into development. I won't spoil it for you :)
I think that might be the first time I've seen a spoiler warning for an operating system :P
You mind pointing me to the actual patch you're talking about so I don't have to wade through all the changes to find the really ingenious bit? The cgit frontend also lags immensely and I'm not sure if I even have the space to clone the kernel and browse normally (not to mention I'm unfamiliar with the project's code and would likely overlook the good part)
Seconded: bring sauce, me want TCP spoils
hi Nick, just a heads up, the english pronunciation for scrape (eg did the AI scrape content) is scr"ay"p , not scrap. great news article as usual.
Yep, scraping and scrapping are two entirely different things. Not a criticism, your English will always be a hundred times better than my French!
That's terrible news. We use the "scrap" anglicism all the time in France, with Nick's pronounciation. This will be hard to undo.
I think you just found a new and enduring way to spot Frenchies and mock their poor English accent...
Thank you for giving real info about suyu and not misinformation like mr sujano did it means alot
We like to poke fun at the Americans about data security and regulation, but governments everywhere can get this stuff very wrong. I'm an Australian, ask me how I know this. It's good to see a European Linux show pointing out the mistakes made in Europe as well. Clusterf#ck knows no borders, it's universal. It's not prejudiced, it hates everyone the same. Like COVID, it can strike anywhere.
I have prejudice. I'm prejudiced against politicians. I'm self-righteous about canned laughter and canned self righteousness. I'm closed-minded about closed-mindedness.
Fantastic show!
Thank you for your hard work. 👍
The EU backing down from that regulation is a huge relief

I dream of something like that. Not sure what exactly you mean by some of it though
they did not just paste a few sentences the pasted whole portions of the article and kept prompting it with not "weird" prompts but prompts that basically just had GPT keep re-writing the article until it was close enough to the original that they could sue Open AI. NYT will lose this case.
The defense of openai might also be, that normally you wouldn't be able to generate such a prompt from chatgpt, just that the prompt is so specific that it generated the exact same article, though I don't know anything else about the case
Sure "France Travail" apologies will fixe the permanent damage that they allowed to happen ...

Really excited for Cosmic! Loving KDE6 on CachyOS right now, but Cosmic could convince me to give PopOS another go.
It’s not a happy Friday until I get to watch a new video from Nick. And agree with comments in Nintendo
The AMD rfi fix is awesome, I was having a ton of WiFi issues on my hybrid graphics laptop. Hopefully this fixes it!
Can you specify what are those issues? I also have AMD hybrid laptop and I do have some Wifi issues, but fail to realize, what it has to do with graphics. Basically, for me the range and stability of connection is way lower than I was used to on my previous laptop. I change WiFi card for a better one and it improved things a bit, but the range is still bad, especially with 2,4GHz networks which range seems to be half of what 5GHz is, which is the opposite to what should be or opposite to all other devices that correctly show twice the range on the 2,4GHz network. For me, the issue has more to do with the bad antennas.
@michadybczak4862 I've got an Asus G513QE that had a mediatek wifi card, which I replaced with an intel AX210 (Wifi 6E) from framework - it got much better after that (this model seems to be notorious for wifi issues with the default card), but it's not perfect. WiFi would completely cease functioning if I had bluetooth enabled, SSH sessions would hang (though this could be some other factors), stuff like that.
I'm not sure if this is part of it, but I also did get a whining noise when the dedicated (nvidia) GPU was in use - I looked it up and I think it had something to do with interference between the GPU and the wifi card, but I don't exactly remember the details.
Also just in general bad wifi performance, reduced range, random dropouts, that sort of stuff. I haven't done extensive testing, mostly because I've got a FW16 preordered, but I still hope this fixes the issue since I'll be passing this laptop on to someone else.
@@graemewiebe2815I had the same situation with Tuxedo laptop. I bought it with this Mediatek wifi card and it was horrible, so I switched it to Intel AX210. Because I have AMD CPU, I didn't have much choice, because most of Intel cards don't work with AMD... AX210 is much better, but the range is still an issue. In overall, my problems were not so severe but still, Mediatek is just trash.
Scrolling speed! Did I actually see a Scrolling Speed slider implemeted for touchpads on Linux? Thank you System76!
The official open source powervr gpu drm driver being mainline with linux 6.8 is quite a big omission from your linux 6.8 overview. It's meant to be used with their official(wip) mesa pvr vulkan driver.
My god, the EU just keeps gemerating Ws with all of these tech laws, it's crazy.
They take one step back and like fifty forward
Data conservation applies only to account data. Records like billing, bank info for wire transfers are exempted (i think)
I would like to see the EU evaluating OnlyOffice as an alternative to Microsoft 365. To do this, the EU would have to clarify the exact ownership structure of the OnlyOffice developer Ascensio System SIA in Riga, Latvia, and where OnlyOffice is being developed.
So far, it is “only” an open secret that OnlyOffice is being developed in Russia and not in Latvia. Ascensio System SIA remains silent on the matter.
LibreOffice ?

I don't get why Citra got removed. The Nintendo 3DS isn't and hasn't been on the market for quite some time now.
Because Nintendo could ask for it, and they’re the worst
Nintendo said Yuzu's devs couldn't contribute to the emulation community at all as one of the parts of the settlement agreement, and since they were also the ones developing Citra and a number of its dependencies, Citra was forced to shut down too.
Because Nintendo loves to abuse their fans.
more than 20 years ago best practices for storing people's information was to always encrypt, still to this day people are storing in plain text
It might help but it's not a guarantee of protection. The stored information is meant to be accessed, so the keys to the encryption would likely be available near it or with the system that needs to access it. Besides, do we know how the data was stolen?
On the OpenAI thing:
There should definitely be no way to reproduce an ENTIRE article just from a snippet. If that is actually possible, it would be no contest. Without that, it's the same failed argument everyone has against AI: no, it's not copying. Copyright is only for copies, and AI does not copy, it analyzes and stores aggregate statistics. What can happen is that an article is so specific that it's alone in the aggregation and can thus be recovered completely. We already have TONS of laws for that same use case when handling personal data and there's standard procedures to handle it. You just scrub all data below a threshold, ensuring it's an aggregate. Done, no copies. This is what they SHOULD be already doing. If they're not, then they are guilty.
That said, one has to wonder: Are NYT articles so bad that they look a lot like AI generated fluff from the title?
On the Yuzu thing:
They were bundling keys and providing decryption methods, specifically going against DMCA. Sure, Nintendo's claims were far wider than that, but the bit they had them on was DMCA, the rest is to scare them.... but you never know and a bad ruling could set precedent which harms innocents. First step is not bundling secrets in the emulator nor providing access to them. Charging for access probably doesn't help the case, but I don't think that was the main problem. Clean room implementations will be fine, as they should.
Also maybe keep projects targeting current gen in private? it's just not cool.
4:44 That breach is massive. No news reports in German online media, though. There seems to be another breach at Viamedis and Almerys concerning 33 million patients.
COSMIC already showed their new text editor, which also uses header bars. Their file manager is not the first one.
11:34 Amen, absolutely!
For all the doubters, a big government commission investigated itself and not only found itself wrong but also has imposed the rules on itself correctly.
Good stuff!
Your english pronunciation is great! Just wanted to point out a small detail that confused me. You pronounced scrape (skrayp) as "scrap" (skrap), which makes it sound like OpenAI is throwing away NYT articles. I was confused, but I understood that you meant scraped when I heard more of the story / looked closer to the snippets on the screen
Pretty sure that's intentional, google is using Automated tools to restrict and demonitize videos, so in this case they'd likely flag this video and even the whole channel as Adult-only over mistaking that word....
@@Akriashi How would either word (or pronunciation) be considered "adult"? Or would explaining your comment also count as "adult"?
@@thescrewflyWhat is 'scrape' without 'sc'? That could be the reason...
People should not be allowed to own ideas. It should be illegal, not legal. Be credited for work is not the same thing as owning it.
It should basically be "you came up with this, so if I profit from it, you get a cut. But I can freely use it however I want, and you can't stop me. And of course, by virtue of everything being source available, you will always be credited for your idea/work that I used in mine"

Open source is OPEN.
Now, if a company is going to make money USING open source code, the responsibility of security WILL fall on them and it should. I have NO problem with a large corporation having to ask themselves if they want to take the risk of open source or buy a software package that has requirements to be secure or develop their own. That SHOULD be on large corporations, most of which make hundreds of millions or billions of dollars in PROFIT each year. Yes, they can spend the money.
Joe Blow in school making some software as a project and allows it to be open source should not for years have to make sure it's secure, or track every person who uses their OPEN SOURCE software and remind them to check for patches.
I mean, that would mean many people would take software away from that type of licensing. Instead all they should be required to do is talk about how they maintain the software, if at all and warn people that there could be security risks with it.
Hey, what are your thoughts about the recent hype for fully homomorhic encryption if you've heard about it? In principle this tech could allow for some benefits of data collection and processing, while still being 100% private and belonging to you only. I think that could be somewhat a solution for normal people's life to get more private without the need to understand what they're actually doing on their devices.

I don't think emulators will disapear. They will come back but in a wholle different way. Developers did step down from developing nintendo emulators but this could backfire for nintendo because many forks of those emulators could pop out. Yuzu,Citra and so on will change what bothers nintendo and carry on but slower.
I was really excited when System76 said they would make a new DE, I was expecting something, different, fresh, than rest of Linux DEs, like Elementary OS is. But COSMIC just looks like GNOME part 2 lol.

It's really funny that so few people try to emulate xbox consoles for so many various reasons. They do a lot wrong, but their overall commitment to game preservation combined with developer mode makes it so there's little motivation to emulate their stuff and little motivation to try to jailbreak it. They must make so much passive money from sales on decades old games that they have made compat with the new generation
If the switch 2 had DLSS for going to 4K at a consistent framerate, and they put all the big hits from previous gens either on NSO or some version of a VC. There's gotta be so many more companies willing to work with them on licensing if it's just for an old game to be put on a storefront vs on their subscription service. There would be so much less of a push for pirating their games. Now they won't do ANY of that which will just lead a larger-than-average amount of people to pirate their stuff. Whether it be to get a consistent framerate or see the game in a decent resolution, or to play a game that's $200 on ebay and you have *no idea* if Nintendo will ever remake it or resell it.
The decisions they make regarding their legacy content is what drives the emulation and they won't fix the root, just keep trying to attack the leaves and branches.
It is not just that employees need to be better educated against social engineering, but the data shouldn't be that easy to get. The actual databases need to be segmented away on a private subnet and the biggest thing - all the data should be encrypted so that if they are exposed and hacked, the data is useless to the hacker.
I don't really get why Cosmic is reinventing the wheel with a brand new terminal and text editor. There are already great mature Rust based alternatives for both.
And even more, most people will use what they currently use and have configured to their liking anyways. e.g. VSCodium, Neovim, Helix, Kitty, Alacrity, Wezterm, etc.
I can't believe they are wasting time on such apps as well.
The terminal emulator I can understand them building; VTE based terminals aren't very good for advanced users because of some refresh rate limits that the GNOME team are trying to fix but haven't fully fixed just yet.
The text editor I can also understand, as even beginner users could use it for opening plain text and source code files among other similar file types.
Now, System76 making an entire IDE out of a text editor with limited employees on COSMIC, THAT I can say I think should wait for later. Maybe start with a simple text editor for now and then after COSMIC releases and is in a good state, then they can focus on adding a full IDE. Unless of course some of their biggest customers want them to build an IDE and are willing to fund it.
the breach of "France travail" (one day they will stop renaming it to hide how bad they are) is absolutely Unacceptable... they are always breach in security, it's can happen to anyone... but it's not the first time... now it's clear that they have done nothing to prevent it... some people need to be fired... and not the IT service... but the one that juste decided that it's was not importante...

i really want to see an all-out legal battle between Nintendo and Disney.
Nice.
Yuzu opened themseves up that that likely outcome.
god, the scope on popOS has ballooned like crazy hasn't it? i hope they do manage it tho.
Has it? Not really.
That's fair use, they can't sue for that. The NYT makes no sense, but that's par for the course...
I've heard stupider lawsuit defences, even against OpenAI itself, like that one where Elon Musk said OpenAI wasn't open enough and lawyers were like "W-well, you know what, well you're also not open enough! Ha! Take that jerk!" and everyone was like yeah makes sense. The reason it doesn't is that if I made the same lawsuit with same lawyers, it would have worked. So lawsuits are basically sophisticated yo mama jokes and shouldn't be taken seriously, unless you're on one end of them, of course
Nice vid. It's sad that they'll push back Cosmic DE
Yeah, but I hope it gives them time to make it better!
Better to release something slightly delayed but better from the delay and polish rather than releasing something not ready, like Ubuntu 22.04 with its mismatched GNOME and GNOME app versions or many of 2019's and later's games.
I'm happy that delaying a release in order for it to be actually pretty ready (still not fully, but decently so) is getting to be more of a thing.
We have not pushed back or delayed the release. The announcement was actually that development on our applications is significantly ahead of schedule, so we are skipping the first alpha and going straight to alpha 2 so that we can include them in the first image. We did not expect to have nearly finished everything, and yet here we are.
Anyone interested in trying out the COSMIC alpha can already do so on both Pop!_OS and Fedora.

Nintendo is a terrible company with immoral litigious practices, absurd pricing models and subpar products. Unfortunately the company has been able to leach off fans for at least 15 years now when it should have failed for bankruptcy years ago.
I'm happy the EU will not regulate FOSS and will look into protecting its data. Out of all institutions I live under, the EU seems to be the most effective, although that might just speak to how bad my county is.
While I don't really care for Cosmic I am quite happy they did something like this. Shows that some companies are still trying. UI is hard, people should give them some time at the very least.
The Wii U could have been their last console, and they would have had to pull a Sega (becoming a third-party developer) to stay in business at all. That would have been a much better timeline imo.
@@cameronbosch1213I don't think this would be better, they are one of the few AAA selling finished and non live service products.
@@lucascamelo3079 Bullshit. Their online games/services are crap, many of their recent games were _not_ finished, and they treat their fans like shit! You are objectively and subjectively wrong.
@@cameronbosch1213 What games belongs to this "many" statement, can I ask?
@@lucascamelo3079 Everything from late 2019 on except for Super Mario Bros Wonder.
Cosmic definitely needs more work, before an official alpha will be ready. EU investigating the EU made me LOL.
Software patents are to long. 75 year protection it should be 25 years protection. If you have not made your money in 25 years you never will. Emulating software 25 years should be legal.
Patents are 25 years. Copyright lasts for 90 years/70 years after the death of the creator. (Or are sw patents really that long
In this case nintendo claimed that the cryptographic keys you need to emulate switch software is under copyright or something like that.
@@keit99OK Copyright laws are too long.
@@tonysheerness2427 yes they are way too long. Copyright should last some 15-20 years.
@@keit99does it even make sense to copyright randomly generated keys created by running a program ?
@@keit99Thank Disney for that one.
About emulation: I know that some old games are still very fun but at some point you have to let go of the past and older games too. Giving yourself all those troubles and facing justice for games is just not worth it.
I'm confused, which update version of Ubuntu is Cosmic based on?
COSMIC will be released with POP!_OS 24.04 which is based on the newest Ubuntu LTS. Keep in mind that 24.04 doesn't mean that it will release at that date. It's just to make it easier to see which Ubuntu version it is based on. POP!_OS should come out in the summer.
I am literally downloading pcsx2 as i am watching this.
12:16 I think you meant scraping, which rhymes with tape, but you pronounced scrapping, which rhymes with tap. Scraping is what they did here.
Nintendo's true goal was accomplished. Fear. But if most of these developers realized that Nintendo only managed to nail Yuzu because of patreon, they'd realize they have nothing to fear. If you want my opinion on how to fund an emulator; don't fund it directly. Make a second project that isn't an emulator, and have that funded instead. Sort of a front. Nintendo can't prove the emulator is being funded that way.
Cosmic Delayed? :(
How the hell did the commission in charge of handing out fines for big tech data fuckery not question itself using big tech data harvesting malware?
3DS and DS consoles and games are also not being sold anymore. The dumbest thing is that in a few generations Nintendo will clone Yuzu and use it to emulate Switch games on their consoles, I bet you.
...and keep it fully source unavailable, violating the GPL, NDA'ing anyone that comes into contact with it and ruthlessly suing anyone that reveals their evil and not losing by virtue of having the money to keep the lawsuit lasting indefinitely
10:00 LOL

Wikipedia is an awesome source of training factual data. Wikipedia does sell it at a high cost but openai likes to scrap it off the web and not pay for it 😂
Cosmic desktop settings is not using dconf it is using cosmic config. I wonder if apps like gnome evolution mail that use dconf for some user settings will function properly....
Applications that use dconf will continue to use dconf. We aren't patching third party applications to use cosmic-conf if that's what you're thinking.
@@mmstick I'm glad you here too answering such questions - it is very positive.
I like very much pop os team simply says they don't want to ship half done programs ih their alpha. This is the way.
I am very interested in the suit against OpenAI. I have highly suspicious about OpenAI (and CodePilot) because they most likely use copyrighted material to train their AI, without any compensation, acknowledgement or forwarding of the copyright notice. In case of Copyleft code, that would be a crime.
12:18 ff. Did OpenAI use AI to draw up its defence?
These last months in France, omg
You should talk about the Valorant native port for Linux code on Riot's website(?). It's probably boilerplate code but is also definitely good clickbait material lol
Anything with Vanguard is getting a veto from me; even if it had Linux support, if it put blobs in the kernel, I don't want it.
wait, valorant is coming to linux?? is this real
Wait what?? Will this translate into my actually being able to play League on Linux again? I play via a maximally sandboxed proton setup but that will stop working when rito in a scant few weeks from now forces us to use that unethical and windoze-mandating vanguard abomination if we want to play league, which of course, I can't and won't do. I thought the only hope was darling (what WINE is to windows, darling is to MacOS) progressing to the point we can run the mac version sandboxed, which probably won't happen for like 5 years, considering darling's just barely reaching minimal graphical application support (let alone be able to run a graphics-intensive application like a video game and performantly, though Moore's law could eventually come into play)
@@cameronbosch1213 I mean, in the hypothetical scenario that I make more than enough money to build a dedicated and externally sandboxed Linux gaming rig, I might, just might, be willing to modprobe vanguard or whatever whilst I play league and shut down the PC immediately afterwards, treating the PC as always compromised, but IDK. Frankly, valorant is dogshit and always has been, and league has immensely gone to shit, and the game probably won't be fun at all by the time the aforementioned would come about. But yeah, no chance whatsoever of that shit being on any computer I use for anything besides pure gaming. I wouldn't even play in bubblewrapped proton for months because it wasn't secure enough
@@MH_VOID Exactly. Not to mention which country owns the company who owns Riot Games. I wouldn't allow that on my computer unless the entire source code for Vanguard (the "anti-cheat" rootkit) was at least available and audited.
Sometimes, I almost (and I emphasizes the almost, ok) feel sympathy or acknowledgement for the hackers. They somehow reveal the lies or such of our govs and corporations ^^
I hope you weren't targeted in the 43M, Nick!
