Oooh. Good thing I missed Spiro (had “fun” with Cypro tho’)… that potential side-effect of “irreversible hoarseness” was a HUGE red flag for me.

I wish Enantone (Leuprorelin acetate) was more available. Monthly or even quarterly injections with minimal side-effects in comparison, it’s the GOAT. Unfortunately more of a rich-people medication…

But why the pickles?

Imagine putting your name on AI slop. That doesn’t even make legal sense, you can’t claim to have “made” it. Since you didn’t, effectively nobody did.

This. Nintendo went so far to try patenting relative physics in games (I think that one failed, but they do hold a patent for throwing balls at someone to catch them). And if you wonder why you never see smaller round menus in games for conversation selection (but mostly a rather clunky list instead), that patent is held by EA or Bioware due to Mass Effecr. For a fucking circular conversation menu.

I can’t eat as much as I want to vomit. This whole system is just perverted to the core and completely stifles both culture AND economy. They just register all this shit because patent trolling is also a business to them. It’s both profitable and weaponizable.

Bet he was the goodest of bois

Depending on their success there might be at least one app that facilitates payments. If not anything else then at least GNU Taler once it gets adopted (obviously talking about not earlier than 2027 right now for any of this).

No wonder schools are such a horror trip to go through. This whole zhread adds some context to what the headmaster of the school I attended was raging about back then. He was probably the nicest guy you can think of and desperately tried to procure more funding. In the end it was at least enough for one full-time job for some kind of social worker/children’s psychologist (assumably badly paid), but once you could hear him scream probably all throughout the school, assumably during some talk with state officials. He really tried.

Didn’t change shit though. During my time a seventh grader was expelled after selling cocaine (confirmed by police) and all teachers were too overworked to care about the daily violence. One kid apparently tried to off himself. It was a bigger school sharing facilities with a primary school as well, so obviously the youngest regular smoker was in second grade. It was a complete nightmare. The only reason there wasn’t at least one shooting was because this took place in Germany, not the US. Of course teachers weren’t exactly supported either; it increasingly became more common to just fire them just before summer holidays, to then get them back 6 weeks later.

Stopped being angry at (most of) the teachers from back then years ago. Though it took me well over a decade of therapy to finally be able to sleep without nightmares of having to go to school again. I pity everyone who has to suffer in these torture facilities.

Luckily there is active work on things, both on protocol level as well as with some kind of “federated moderation system”, aimed to reduce workload for mods and admins and increase consistency without weakening the strengths of a federated system (like that rules and moderation styles can differ).

In general the Mastodon gGmbh was simply overrun by demand (and they REALLY didn’t make things better by funneling people towards them with that awful Mastodon app), and both them losing tax exemptions due to bad german governments as well as bad decisions by Eugen (like working with Meta / Threads) lead to Mastodon underperforming. That shit sucks.

It can get better though, and people are working on that.

You all know what would be the most awesome thing for 90% of people? Fully developed Linux Phones + Lapdocks.

• Just one device you carry all the time anyway
• Super powerful phones make more sense
• All data in one place without all sync stuff
• Battery for daaays when docked
• 2 displays
• Super portable setup

Samsung screwed it up with Dex and other companies didn’t want to create reasons not to buy more. Luckily devs working on projects like aftermarketOS do not give a fart about such things, and what’s currently possible and being worked on is really promising.

Imagine all you need for general computing and light gaming / editing on the go on any display or TV you come across would be a USB-C dock and perhaps a small keyboard & mouse combo. I want that future.

Okay, which hentai was this inspired by?

Edit: Out of scientific curiosity, of course.

So it even doubles as non-invasive sex reassigment surgery precursor drug? Damn, this medicine is multifunctional as hell!

That’s the way.

Arch-based distros do have the nvidia-dkms package available, works great in my experience. Linux Mint and Ubuntu got a dedicated driver utility for this. Debian provides a “nvidia-driver” package. OpenSuse provides it via YaST, or manually in a dedicated repo.

Does it work as good as having the driver pre-installed? Hell no, those nvidia drivers are gosh darn awful in nature. We can just hope NVK can completely replace them asap.

That’s a horrendous approach since probably two decades. They shouldn’t slack so hard.

What recent events? Did I miss something, or is this just about general tendency of any politically extreme group (in this case the so-called radical left?) to be blind to their prefered flavour of authoritarianism? Or is this just some propaganda piece? I’m so out of the loop rn.

From the top of my head I can think of a few reasons:

• Better feature support (HDR, better fractional scaling etc)
• Better integration (specifically Gnome)
• More complete graphical settings
• Quicker adoption rate
• Wayland support (X11 is pretty much dead at this point)

Aside from RAM (of which most machines do have plenty by now) there isn’t really too much overhead these days. In fact battery usage on Gnome and KDE with Wayland is usually better than with X11.

Oh, that way around. Yeah, more software is using Nvidia CUDA although you can run increasingly more stuff via ZLUDA. Also more and more software comes around supporting ROCm or just uses a vulkan layer. In the end the biggest struggle is to install either CUDA or ROCm drivers, both can be lretty annoying to install depending on your distro. For local AI apps just use the ones supporting ROCm. Haven’t gotten into trouble there so far.

Generally yes, if you use any modern card. Older ones might require to switch to an older driver (before “amdgpu” there was one called “radeon”, by default any distro I know comes with the modern amdgpu). There are also two AMD GPU generations (I think HD7000/Rx 200 and Rx 300) that can be a little bit nasty as the driver change happened around that time, those sometimes need manual intervention.

Anything newer (RX 550 and higher) pretty much always work without any hitch or additional steps required.

nvidias just better when it comes to actual software support

Lol no.

Yeah, afaik it’s exactly one of the cards that require manual intervention or a switch to the radeon driver. Bad generation to run on Linux.
