A bicycle will transport me in the same manner every time I use it. A calculator will always give me the correct result of 2+2.

What was your point about AI again?

Maybe he bought that RAM before the crisis. I got a 64GB netbook last year, shortly before it became unobtainium.

It’s amazing to see how far they’ve come. Rewriting the graphics engine three times is insane. And awesome.

Updated to the beta today, everything went fine and just works. I love this distro.

Y’all aren’t old at all.

We are old, you are ancient! 😄

I bought a netbook (GPD Win Max 2) with 64GB of RAM last year. It was really expensive, by 2025 standards.

But now I feel like I have the power of the universe in my jacket pocket. Best irresponsible buying decision I ever made.

defecation

Unintentionally accurate typo

True! discuss.tchncs.de is also pretty nice. We have a few more communities that feddit has defederated (for good reason, though, not everyone wants pr0n in their main feed :D).

Most people didn’t even notice such a vote was happening until today, when it spilled over to lemmy.world.
A discussion topic about it on Feddit was only created six hours ago and most people in there are like “Oh no! Anyway…”.

Seems more like you want people to be furious. We can all wish for something, but that doesn’t mean it’ll actually happen.

My guess is that they’ll be seething when they find out.

From what I get, most of us are just relieved. The moderation team should definitely pop the champagne today, because there’s a lot less work to do from now on. 🍾

In Germany, after national socialism, we have very strict rules on how you are allowed to talk about it, because there were unfortunately a lot of people still denying it or not believing it.

True. But a lot of people on the whole Fediverse seem to be very narrow-minded black-and-white thinkers. In their logic, abiding to the law in Germany is equivalent to following direct orders from the Gestapo. Maybe you just don’t want to get arrested and put in jail for running a niche community on the internet, but that’s not even an argument to them.

Some people in that db0 thread even suggested feddit.org should just shut down completely, which is ridiculous. Every country must’ve laws you don’t agree with, but you don’t run and hide because of that.

This “we vs. them” attitude is exactly what’s been criticized about MAGA all of the time, but doing it in this case is perfectly legitimate, somehow. I don’t know what kind of brain gymnastics you’ll have to do to come to a conclusion like this.

It’s just exhausting trying to talk to these people. I say let them shut down their community and hang out in their radicalized bubble. Good riddance.

Ah Shit, here we go again.

I also tried checking the power state with commands you gave me and they failed.

Like I said, those commands only work if you use the open-source nouveau driver, not the proprietary one directly from Nvidia. Nvidia’s driver should be able to use dynamic power switching, so you don’t have to do anything.

I’m honestly surprised Hogwarts Legacy even runs at all on Windows. :D

gtx 750

That card only supports Vulkan 1.2 in hardware and Steam’s Proton does not run well on that (it needs Vulkan 1.4), so most games crash (or have graphical issues) because the DirectX calls cannot be translated properly.

I have a 780Ti card and I used Proton-Sarek from here, it makes it work with a lot of games: https://github.com/pythonlover02/Proton-Sarek

In general, I would recommend an AMD card for Linux. Nvidia is just painful, especially older cards that aren’t well supported on Nouveau.

Those old Nvidia GTX cards also don’t support adaptive clocking, so they run on low clockspeeds by default. You might need to set the clocks manually if you want (kinda) the same performance you get on Windows.

You can list the available power states with cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pstate and then set one like this (if 0f is the one you want): echo 0f > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pstate (only if you use the nouveau driver, not the one from Nvidia)

Sometimes apps get very…wonky when moved from a monitor with a normal 100% scaling to one where it has 150% scaling or so.

I just love it when I take a screenshot on the edge of my screen with Spectacle but the “Copy to clipboard” button gets lost somewhere between two screens with different DPI.

It seems like your LS50X neither support LDAC nor aptX for delivering low latency audio. That’s an absolute dealbreaker, sadly. :(

or fixing X11 ASAP

There was this one guy doing major work on X11, but while he did some good work he also submitted breaking changes, was then barred from submitting patches and in turn created an angry fork (XLibre) breaking even more important things (e.g. the whole Nvidia driver).

That’s why we can’t have nice things. He probably turned a lot of people away who could’ve helped the project (and it also didn’t help that he was an anti-vaxer that even pissed Linus Torvalds off with his nonsense).

Since most of the X11 devs are Wayland devs now it’s understandable they don’t want to ever go back to it anymore. They know the limitations and the horrible, ancient feature-creep of it. This talk from 2013 explains their motivations for abandoning it pretty well.

Imo the best way to maintain phpstorm is to just use the JetBrains Toolbox. It’ll install it natively and keep it updated for you.

Same here, virt-manager and qemu makes this all so easy.

I always use protontricks if I need to install something additional to a Steam game or Heroic Games manager, it can run arbitrary .exe files in a wine/proton prefix.
