It probably happens already with some web-serials

FundMECFSResearch , (edited ) to showerthoughts in Someday soon (if it hasn't already happened) a book will be published that was written and edited entirely on a phone/tablet with a touch keyboard.

Severe ME/CFS: A Guide to Living was written entirely on phone by Emily Collenridge, someone who suffered from very severe ME/CFS (one of the illnesses with lowest Quality of Life) and could only use her phone for brief moments. Over years, writing a tiny bit each moment she was able to use her phone, she wrote her book which was published.

This book is really invaluable to the patient community as it is one of the only ones we have, since most people with that level of illness aren’t able to communicate at all.

Sadly she died in hospital a couple years later, in her early 30s.

Here is a wiki page if anyone is interested me-pedia.org/wiki/Emily_Collingridge

Oh wow! That is an incredibly inspiring story!

Hello_there , to nostupidquestions in does it make sense to ask your soon to be former coworkers if they'll work there in 2 years?

Don't assume you can just hop into your old job. You might be forced to take a different type of job at a different location.
That being said, it's good to hop to a new job that values you more or teaches new skills.

Forgive my ignorance on the subject, but huh?

Clearly I missed a briefing somewhere. I thought that crocodiles were from that era, or is that the joke that I’m somehow missing?

teletext ,

The joke is that birds aren’t only related to dinos, but are dinos themselves.

jadelord ,

Yes and the cruel part is… Pterosaurs are not Dinosaurs!

CodexArcanum ,

It might be easy to brush off my complaint as a case of paleo-pedantry, but word choice matters. “Dinosaur” is a word for a specific group of creatures united by shared characteristics and which had their own evolutionary history—it is not a catch-all term for anything reptilian and prehistoric.

We have known about this distinction for a long time, and I bet that your average 10-year old paleo fan would know not confuse the groups.

So, it’s a joke about the fact that both are essentially dinosaurs?

… nope, I got nothing …

RandomStickman ,

Here's my take:

Low IQ: crosc looks like dinos so they are the cloests living relative to dinos.
Mid IQ: birds are direct descendents of dinos so they are the closest living relatives to dinos.
High IQ: since birds are direct descendent they are just dinos, not a relative. Which makes crocs the next closest living relative to dinos/birds.

dogsoahC , to science_memes in 🐊🐓🦖

Though, isn’t being part of a group the closest you can get in terms of relatedness?

teletext ,

Yeah, it’s like being related to your family. Most people would consider your relatives to be related to you.

Neurologist OP ,

Are octopus related to octopus? I mean technically they’re 100% related, but also they aren’t related as related implies not being. Depends on your interpretation.

mihnt ,

Are you saying octopus are all incest babies? Scandalous.

Neurologist OP ,

Ah sorry, the genome of octopus’ mating is only 99.99 something % similar. Not 100%. Rounding reflex.

Did they get that info from a representativesample of humanity or just some social media doomcrolling?

those are the same thing

herrvogel , to linux_gaming in Best gpu vendor for linux?

I got one machine with an amd gpu and another with an Nvidia. The amd machine is so much more comfortable to use, it’s not even funny. The amd card just keeps chugging along and doing its job without bothering me, whereas the Nvidia card keeps making me make sure the drivers are properly loaded in the first place.

cyborganism ,

I’ve never used an AMD graphics card, but I recently got into gaming in Linux with my NVidia card and this is one of the things I have to deal with.

  • I want to launch a game.
  • There’s a problem
  • Oh are my drivers up to date?
  • apt-get update & upgrade
  • check driver version
  • check online for latest driver
  • I think flatpaks need to be updated as well? I’m new to flatpaks too.

But yeah, you gotta check all the time.

AMD (or anything that uses Mesa drivers really) just works out of the box. That pain is unique to NVIDIA.

tabular ,
@tabular@lemmy.world avatar

Presumably some games at some point needed the user to update the kernel for an updated AMD driver?

CalcProgrammer1 ,
@CalcProgrammer1@lemmy.ml avatar

The only instance I can see this is if a game requires a new Vulkan extension, which wouldn’t need a new kernel but would need a new Mesa version to provide that extension. For the most part, games use established and standardized APIs (OpenGL, Vulkan, Direct3D) to utilize the GPU and as long as the driver implements the APIs used by the game, the driver doesn’t need to continuously update in order to support game updates. On Linux, the driver doesn’t handle Direct3D anyways and an intermediate layer (DXVK or VKD3D) is used to translate Direct3D API calls into the Vulkan API. Vulkan does support extensions which are added every so often to provide new interfaces and the userspace portion of the driver (which is responsible for compiling/translating Vulkan API calls into raw GPU instructions) needs to be updated to support these, but also sometimes these extensions are optional and games can use less optimized code paths to work around missing extensions.

@tabular@lemmy.world avatar

Ah I see, thanks for the info.

@vk6flab@lemmy.radio avatar

Strange as this may sound, your highest value as an employee, both from your and your employer’s perspective, is the first two years of your employment, because you are the newbie, with a different set of experiences, different methods, different ideas, different solutions and different considerations.

Both you and your employer learn the most in those two years.

Don’t be afraid of being a newbie, it’s how you advance your career.

HobbitFoot , to nostupidquestions in does it make sense to ask your soon to be former coworkers if they'll work there in 2 years?

The decision you make in 2 years will be in a world different than now. The place you work now will likely change in that time. You will likely change in that time.

I wouldn’t evaluate going back unless you would make that decision soon.

DoucheBagMcSwag , (edited ) to gaming in Guitar Hero clone...with characters/venues?

With clones, You’re not going to get custom characters or custom venues. So get that out of the your head now.

Download clone hero and never look back. Works on Linux (steam deck)

Be grateful that clone hero allows you to play every single guitar hero and rock band song that ever existed in one game.

Crikeste , to linuxmemes in Why Are You Staying On Windows 11?

What the fuck is all this anti-Windows 11 talk? I have never had a problem with it. Is it because of functionality or something else? Because, functionality wise, it’s been fine for me. 🤷🏼‍♂️
