Even people who've been at it for years. I am skeptical of the AI hype bubble as much as anyone here, but it's been very useful for fixing things in Linux. Just in the past years it helped me (among others):

  • Find an obscure bug that was reported that same day in the kernel, and helped me switch to the LTS kernel to prevent these issues.
  • Help me setup up a random 35mm film scanner that I found with cups, and then help me set up a win XP VM when that didn't work out
  • Help me fix bluray playback yesterday after VLC suddenly randomly started to refuse playing it.

Look, I am the type who watches lectures at 1.25x or 1.5x speed or something. But movies? It'd ruin the pacing. If you can't bring up the attention to watch a movie then maybe you just shouldn't

My transition to full on Linux gaming mostly went okay, but recently I've started running into some issues with more demanding games. In games like Cyberpunk 2077, Stalker 2, and inZOI I sometimes get KDE and/or Wayland crashes when the VRAM runs out. In Cyberpunk I can avoid it by not enabling RTX, which is fine. But Stalker 2 and inZOI are basically all-in on raytracing and therefore seem to also fully eat up my 8GB of VRAM.

Is there any way of constraining the games to like 7.5 GB or something? Because they seem to actively work to stay below 8GB, so clearly there is still stuff they can clean up. And even if they'd go over the limit, I'd prefer the game to crash rather than basically having Wayland restart, losing everything I had open. I'm curious for you experiences

Although censorship is obviously bad, I'm kinda intrigued by the way it's yapping against itself. Trying to weigh the very important goal of providing useful information against its "programming" telling it not to upset Winnie the Pooh. It's like a person mumbling "oh god oh fuck what do I do" to themselves when faced with a complex situation.

Shot with my Canon EOS 300, pretty much directly into the sunshine as God intended, using Ilford HP5 plus 400 iso black and white film.

This scale is totally wack. The feet of the human bodies in the graph don't start at 0 but somewhere between 4 and 5. Such a bad graph. That being said, we Dutch people are very tall and powerful and you should be terrified >:3

Microsoft does a lot of bad things, but I got to give it to them here. Their push for accessibility in gaming is definitely a good thing. They've been pushing multiple modular controllers in order to allow people with disabilities to play games in a comfortable way. Having the support of a major player in the gaming market like Microsoft will definitely help with support for these products.

I'm supposed to have energy as an adult?! I have way more time than energy. Most of that time is spent doing useless shit like watching YouTube because I'm too exhausted to do anything useful

Shit, another existential crisis. At least I'll forget about it soon

Ridiculous. How can someone write "we value your privacy" and then share data with 807 partners. If I share anything with 8 people I pretty much consider it public information already, unless I have a very good reason to trust them. Sharing something with 807 companies is probably less private than taking all that data, putting it up on a billboard, and placing that billboard next to the busiest place in town.

Seems like a good idea to put that there. People who know what they're doing won't be bothered by it, but it might save a few people from getting hacked

As far as I understand, Europe will push for removable batteries by 2027.. So we might actually get back to those glory days.

21 stone?! I swear you guys will use anything instead of metric

I don't really see the problem. People like to listen to the stuff and Spotify provides it and pays the creator. Seems like everything is working as intended. Looks like it's just greedy people getting annoyed that they can't get even richer.
