Can confirm War Thunder ran significantly better on Linux (literally no idea why), and World of Warships ran much faster on ext4 on an HDD vs ntfs on an HDD.

Well war thunder has a dedicated linux version afaik. Could be it is just better optimised.

Just as a PSA, if anyone is concerned about malfeasance in the voter registration process, go to your state of residence’s Secretary of State website or the main State Website. I will not post any links becuase if you can’t navigate the web to find an official website I really don’t think you should be voting—sorry kids, mids and olds.

Your state’s Secretary of State website will have instructions on how to both register to vote and to actually vote. Your state’s official website will also have the same information if your state doesn’t have that office and registration is controlled by some other entity.

We (united states citizens) live in a federation and the reality of that is most elections are handled by local powers so there are some ocassional differences in how voting is administrated, key point—go to your locality’s OFFICIAL websites to find how to register to vote.

It really does matter. There are elections beyond the presidency. Hate your senator? vote, hate your Representative? VOTE. HATE YOUR STATE REPS? FUCKING VOTE? Live in a state where ballot initiatives are a thing??? FUCKING VOTE!!!

it doesnt cost money. just register and educate yourself on what’s on the ballot and go to the goddamn polls. there are a lot of issues causing problems right now in the US but at least one thing we can do is go to the ballots on election days and vote based on our convictions.

who’s downvoting and can you explain why?

stoneparchment ,
@stoneparchment@possumpat.io avatar

because the very first thing you say in this post basically amounts to “I think I have the authority to decide the basis on which we determine who deserves to vote”

like, yeah, most people can navigate to their secretary of state websites. And it’s not really your responsibility to have to link the pages anyway.

But doing it for that reason aligns you philosophically with people who think that the illiterate, the elderly, the poor, the disabled, the critically ill, etc. somehow don’t deserve to vote. It aligns you ideologically with other people who think they can decide who deserves to vote, with people who want to disenfranchise others-- in essence, it aligns you ideologically with many Republicans

If someone is so inept that they are incapable of utilizing the internet or otherwise seeking help from a person who they trust, or (shock) reach out to their local authorities to navigate the very simple task of registering to vote then yes, I believe said individual is probably not in a position to cast a meaningful and informed vote. Does that disenfranchise people? Yes. There is a point in which we must draw a line in saying certain individuals are not eligible to participate in this system (which we do all the time; see: minors, felons, etc.)

That being said, my comment is not physically stopping a moron-incapable-of-using-google from registering to vote—further I provided general information on how to do it. I want everyone who can do so to vote.

Your opinion is very weird, friend.

@Donebrach@lemmy.world avatar

How is wanting people to vote a weird opinion?

laughterlaughter ,

Says a group of people don’t deserve to vote.

Claims he wants people to vote.

Your logic is even weirder.

@Donebrach@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, yes of course, because there can’t be any subtlety to how we feel societal systems be implemented—it must all be all or nothing. Regardless, nothing I posted is blocking people from voting or advocating for actual impediments. I just shared an aside that my personal opinion is that if someone is too stupid to figure out how to vote they probably shouldn’t be voting in the first place.

laughterlaughter ,

Not what you said at the beginning, but if we take this new one, let’s just say that it’s a false equivalency and call it a day.

You’re no better than the disconnected billionaires and politicians.

This. No way in hell I’m entering all that personal info on a non-official website. That’s how you get on voter spam lists…

sourquincelog , to asklemmy in What's the hardest you've ever hit your head on something or something hit yours?

At around 13, with no experience outside knowing how to ride a bike, attempted a 6 foot BMX bike jump, the kind with a near-verticle lip. After two bailed attempts, I committed to MORE SPEED on the third try. I went straight up, couldn’t position the bike forward, and fell directly backward onto my unhelmeted head and back onto packed dirt and gravel. Always kind of felt dumber, slower after that day

possiblylinux127 , to selfhosted in Confused about Podman

The pi 3B+ is not powerful enough for all that. I would get a used minipc as even a old one will run circles around the old Broadcom CPU.

Podman is similar to docker except for the fact that it is daemonless and rootless by default. To expose things on lower ports you will need to battle permissions. Also podman has pods like kubernetes.

Holy shit, I’m so sorry to hear that. I’ve been going through a physical rehab of my own the past year and it is so awful. Recovering from such a major surgery as that must be horrible, I can’t imagine.

Does it have a Nvidia GPU? If it doesn’t then the nouveau modest does nothing.

My guess it that you are using a badly support realtek device. However I would need to see the full dmesg

minetest is a rather neat game engine, good bit of gameplay there, even more with the mods and other games you can play.

Qemu?

AVincentInSpace ,

Quick Emulator

(At least it was when it was written. Rosetta blows it out of the water.)

possiblylinux127 ,

What is Rosetta?

AVincentInSpace ,

Apple’s x86->ARM transpiler

(It accomplishes this by “cheating” and turning on a feature only found in Apple Silicon that make concurrent memory access rules more similar to x86, but still)

possiblylinux127 ,

How does that apply to qemu?

AVincentInSpace ,

Qemu is an emulator designed to allow you to run software for one architecture on another, much like Rosetta does. Qemu has gained the ability to run native virtual machines using hardware virtualization, which it does astonishingly well, but its original purpose is emulation. In terms of quickness, though, more modern offerings run circles around it

possiblylinux127 ,

Do you have benchmarks to confirm that hardware accelerated virtualization on qemu is slow? It is what powers a lot of things including hypervisors like Proxmox. It also supports hyper-v acceleration. As far as Apple is concerned no one is really running a Mac so that isn’t a useful comparison.

AVincentInSpace ,

I didn’t say hardware accelerated virtualization on qemu was slow. In fact, it’s one of the best performing hypervisors out there. When used as an emulator, however, its performance leaves something to be desired.

possiblylinux127 ,

Even as a emulator it is very solid. Name one emulator that is faster. (Rosetta is a translator not an emulator)

AVincentInSpace ,

…the difference being? Transpilers still count as emulators.

possiblylinux127 ,

They really don’t. A emulator is doing all of the hardware in software. A translator is just converting instructions.

AVincentInSpace ,

By that definition, qemu-[architecture] is a translator. qemu-system-[architecture] is an emulator.

And it’s still a worse translator than Rosetta. Because Rosetta cheats.
