Welcome to zzz/tech/
Rules
0. All global rules apply: https://zzzchan.xyz/rules.html
1. /tech/ is a primarily SFW board. NSFW is only allowed if spoilered.
2. Keep the topics related to technology and computing.
3. When making a thread, put some effort into the OP. Low quality threads and template threads will be bumplocked. Some low quality threads that have already been bumplocked can be deleted if too much fills up the catalog.
4. For the QTDDTOT thread and the meta-thread, there can be only one unless the reply limit has been reached. If the previous thread is at the reply limit, anyone can recreate those threads. Thread quality rules do not apply to these threads.
5. Low quality shitposting will be met with DELetion or all files in the post being unlinked (frogposting, wojaks, >he doesn't use [insert thing here], Reddit logo spam, etc.). Otherwise, shitposting is allowed but try not to derail threads.

Posting recommendations
1. Try keeping most of your tech support questions, software recommendations, consumer advice, and other questions that don't deserve threads in the QTDDTOT thread. If there is a specific thread for your question, try asking there instead for a faster response.
2. Try not to ask questions that can be found on any search engines. You will most likely be told to search more and not receive an answer.

I imagine some people have made guides on privacy, so if you have any you can post them in this thread too.

I've been following the Lean 4 development. It is advanced enough that you've got people like Terry Tao using it. Using Lean4, there is a competition between Open AI, Meta AI and Google Proof (Alpha Proof). At the they're all at roughly the same level of a High School math Olympiad mathematician.

I think it has a possibility to end mathematics or at the very least drastically change the entire field. At the very least, you've got to be able to get to the stage where you can feed the system some of the mathematical problems that limit LLM AI models, and then use those results to improve the LLM AI models, which improve the mathematical models that that's built on, which...

That's literally the same as modern windows. So please tell me, why would I even use wine in this case? Wine was good in the sense that it supported some ancient shit modern windows does not anymore, such as native win16 games from late 90s, but if this fucking crutch that dgvoodoo is required, why won't I just boot back into my windows at that point?

I know 3DNow! was supported by some games, but unless I'm mistaken it was always AMD exclusive and not every PC in '99 had an AMD CPU.
Also my prior CPU an Excavator ran the game fine on both Windows and Linux, perhaps the Jews are at fault.

DgVoodoo2 is a wrapper, not Windows as a whole you ⑨.

I guess you can probably run Win16 games in dosbox. I installed Windows 3 in dosbox years ago (just for funsies) and it seemed to run ok. I didn't play any games on it though.

You can even install Windows 98 in DOSBox-X, and I think OS/2 also works, or at least worked some point in the past. Still, if you want to be really funny you can dualboot with FreeDOS and install Windows 3.1 on top of that.

It'd odd how there doesn't seem to be a thread for them here, despite them being the most common technology in the world for many years now, that people can't seem to live without, it's a necessity nowadays.

What smartphones do you use, /tech/ anons?

I just got a Samsung Galaxy A25 as a birthday gift from my sister, it's the 1st time I've used one with 8GB RAM and a 120Hz refresh rate and I have to say, I thought people were dramatic over refresh rates for no reason, that it wasn't a big deal, but damn! I love just how smooth it is now, can't see myself going back to a 60Hz or even 90Hz screen after this one. It's also got a headphone jack and micro SD slot, rare today.

How would /tech/ a PC-style sumafo?
And by that I mean a fon that can be fully assembled and disassembled out of standardized interchangeable components by the user.
There was a project trying to do that circa 2013 that had a motherboard with a bunch of LGA-esque flat connectors with adjacent magnets on the back and one for the screen in front, one of the cool features showcased that the size each "module" would occupy wasn't fixed so you could remove extra microSD slots+gamer CPU+camera+small battery for a big nigger battery with a small toaster CPU and no camera as an example while retaining the radio/wireless module.
IIRC it got shitcanned because of the jews the magnets weren't enough to hold the modules in place or something.

Is there a better mounting system?
How would parts be ideally standardized, and would a "scalable" single connector type be preferable to dedicated ones?

Can someone give a quick rundown of the XLibre drama?
All I know from skimming Moronigs and this board is that some Jewish-sounding X11 maintainer got fed with what he perceived as Red Hat deliberately rejecting PRs amid other things in order to artificially push muh Wayland, made his own fork and thus became the biggest Hitler in the open sores scene since Kent Overstreet and in a UNO sense byuu/Near, with Michael Larabel feebly trying to censor away the bad goy drama only to create Gamergate-esque forum discussions he didn't lock the threads unlike during the Asahi linux tranny drama for what it's worth.
Freedickstop is apparently purging every single commit the guy made as a maintainer from the standard X11 repo which according to the wise and well-established independently financed pro-vaccination advocates on Moronix is totally normal and extremely necessary since all his commits are bad code of low quality which justifies everything, clearly not a Stalinist purge now shut up and patch those out-of-tree Rust additions in the Kernel goy.

He is a German man noted as being doubleplusnotgood for having ”alternative views” regarding the world wars. He also posted in a Linux mailing list that RNA vaccines will create a new breed of humans, and that made Linus Torvalds post a very angry reply. Other than that, you've got it down, the only thing I'd add is that Lunduke is fueling the drama a whole lot simply by reporting what is going on. It is pretty much a classic upward spiral where they call a literal kike a gnadzee who then tells everyone that they are calling him a gnadzee, which then makes the trannies even angrier and so they call him a gnadzee even harder, and so on and on.

I don't think systemd and rustfaggots are caused by bureaucracy. Rather, they are both caused by groups of people with interest in getting foss into the current state and the predictible future where things are systemd-rustd. The motive of such people could be jewish in nature, who are genetically compelled to squeeze freedom from users with well-rubbed hands; or commercial economic reasons; ego, the idea that it's MY vison gets to be realized and I get to force my shit down everyone's throat; or even just plain retarded misguidedness.
This is where important people's opinions matter, if Linus isn't auch a fag and admit vax are poison, things like rustniggers creeping into the kernel wouldn't happen so quickly.

-Rich Text Format (.rtf)
-HTML
-DOC (.doc)
-DOCX

Considerations:
-is the format simple, efficient, small?
-is it open source, free, or at least without patents or some other shit
-is it supported by large amount of software? for import and export
-is it malware? has hidden metadata and other shit? complex and proprietary?
-does the format allow for huge documents?

Experience showed that relying on a format isn't the right solution because it would put a burden on every system to be able to read and edit that format, the solution imo would come from a markup syntax like HTML or MD for simple text. The solution has always been text. Said text should be interpreted following a syntax to produce formatted documents.
(What a tragedy that Org and MD were invented in parallel at about the same time. They have no business having separate syntaxes).

Well Matthew Dillon was right about concurrency but where is DragonflyBSD now. A major reason why linux dominates is because you don't need to fork the entire kernel everytime somebody decides to do something retarded like systemd.

>Elaborate.
He might be referring to the "geek feminist" Code of Conduct and Randi Harper drama that happened ages ago. That tends to be the only thing people know about FreeBSD if they get all their tech news from imageboards.
