Maybe someone can fill me in on this because I don't know anything about it. "LibsofTiktok" is clearly just a right wing actor making liberal viewpoints look stupid, yeah? No one who actually identifies as "liberal" would ever willingly call themself a "lib."
The woman behind it has become a kind of conservative celebrity. She doxxes random people, especially teachers who talk about their sexuality on TikTok and sends her minions to harass them. In the past, she has caused bomb threats to children’s hospitals for providing gender affirming care. She is about as despicable as a person can be.
No. The instance needs access to the data. And the admin has a full access to the database where everything is stored. Encryption wouldn’t help because the admin also has access to the decryption key.
6700xt is very solid. I game at 1440p and as long as I don’t turn ray tracing on, it runs all of my games above 60fps at max settings. Admittedly I don’t play many AAA games. The most demanding game I’ve tried on it is probably Cyberpunk 2077.
Think I’ll pull the trigger and get that, only $350 so it’s decent. Now that I think about it, 2077 was also the last demanding game I played lol. My 1080 chugged on that. Also Gears of War it struggled. Doesn’t bother me too much anymore, idc about triple A games now. Mostly getting for better Linux support.
I own a 6700xt and also play in 2k - there’s a great price quality relationship with this card and it performs great. This card will absolutely do the job and way more than enough - Unless you want to experience ray-tracing or VR but also linux sadly is not the best platform for those features
Raytracing is meant to be enabled on AMD cards in the Mesa 23.2 update, fwiw. But yeah, AMD aren’t really leading the way on that, so it’ll be mostly novelty value I fear.
If you’re willing to buy used there are mega cards going for under 600 on most marketplaces. Surplus, and little interest from consumers have brought back cheap second hand hardware. It’s really a buyers market right now.*
There are people out there selling broken cards but if the mining card works then is there really any evidence that it’s less performant or any more likely to fail than a lightly used gaming card?
I’ve almost always bought new but I’d prefer to buy used now to save money and hopefully find out if it has any coil wine. That’s if used prices were any different than new (Ebay’s UK used prices are dumb).
Best bang for the buck is probably the 6700XT. It will run all the the biggest games at 1440p with decent fps. If you’re at 1080p, there’s nothing it can’t handle. If you’re looking at 4K gaming, you’re going to want a bit more juice if you want good framerates.
Also you can't program an open-source project in a way that prevents a group of people from using it. It's public and anyone can download and deploy it. So "kbin" can't do anything about them, existing servers defederating them is the only way to go
Yeah but in this particular case it really needs to happen at the instance level rather then the user level, and preferably all instances at that. It's about mitigating the damage that Meta/Facebook are going to do (to the entire fediverse as a system) more than it is about not seeing shitty low-effort racism or whatever they'll have there.
If I could actually trust Meta to be benign then I'd maybe agree with you about just blocking their shit as a user, but there's just no chance of believing that about them.
It doesn't work, and besides, the privacy policy of threads lets them collect information about you if you interact with ANY of their content at least once. I recommend everyone reads the third-party app section of their policies.
And any EU citizen could proceed to sue the shit out of you and anyone who uses that data, based on GDPR. Especially, once you not only collect it, but also run any kind of inference on it.
Would be interesting to see where that ends. Once you start selling it, you act as some kind of company/have commercial interest and thereby clearly fall under GDPR. If they've never given their consent to your data processing, it would be best if your servers stand on some offshore oil rig and your bank account is somewhere on the Bahamas I guess...
Hmm I’m not sure it’s as simple as that. The things stopping me from hosting my own Lemmy instance is that I don’t see notices about data processing/administrating entity/right to be forgotten/data dump about yourself anywhere on public instances. I don’t intend to implement these myself or share with whole word my home address so that they know where I am located. However the public instances are running fine without this, so maybe this threat of lawsuits isn’t as serious as you suggest?
There are handsome penalties for violating copyright but torrent trackers are still thriving, I expect similar legal evasion tactics from sites like OpenLemmyStats
Same here, experience got worse after upgrading the monitor.
I went from a somewhat matched pair of 1080p 75Hz monitors, one of which was ultrawide (2560 width) to upgrading my ultrawide to a 3440x1440 160hz panel.
That upgraded panel suffered every step of the way in Linux.
I absolutely cannot get 160Hz consistently if I have both monitors running. On KDE X11, compositor drops the rate to 75FPS to even things out (except the mouse lol). On KDE Wayland it works properly in this regard, but we all know how Wayland is on NVIDIA right now.
GNOME is a similar story as KDE Wayland, with an added bonus of stuttering.
I’m not losing hope, though. It’s gonna catch up to AMD but man does it stink to use lol
The only other reason I really have to use X11 is because the hardware video decoding in the browser doesn’t work in Wayland with NVIDIA. Most of the apps are actually becoming more and more stable.
