AI news barely able to make Onion obsolete, what a time to be alive!

WereCat ,

To be fair the Part 1 port is fairly good now but the release was quite janky… But I haven’t bought it until it went on sale anyways so…

EU approval for chat control (www.patrick-breyer.de)

We need to do something against this. The EU plans to apply a law for a chat control in the territory. The approval say that all the chats and the emails would be send to the government to do AI scanning to in fact “find the children abuses”, even when using apps with end-to-end encryption (the EU will ask the services to...

Haven’t had any issues since I’ve installed it… Yet.

Game publishers when there is no crunch time

It’s quite easy to stop smoking. I’ve done it several times already

WereCat ,

Price it $499 and I’ll still wait until it’s on sale for less than $10.

What are some eras of gaming that you've stopped feeling nostalgic for? (kbin.social)

As I've gotten older as a player, I have found myself dropping some eras of gaming that I used to be nostalgic for. One of them is the 8-bit era, the NES days. I have played some of the best that system had to offer and I will never say that system didn't have any good games....

WereCat ,

I love MP but I can’t bring myself to play due to how incredibly obnoxious it became.

But sir… The comment section? Why are we here?

WereCat OP , (edited )

I’m quite certain it’s supposed to be working with 6000 series and up… I’ve even seen people run it on 5000 series RDNA cards in Blender like 1.5y ago on Fedora 37.

Officially, Blender 3.2 works with RDNA2 and RDNA(1) graphics cards on Linux with HIP. I was able to test all of my available Radeon RX 6000 (RDNA2) graphics cards with Blender 3.2, yeah! But with all my RDNA1 tested graphics cards they all yielded Blender 3.2 having a segmentation fault.

I just got it to work, I’ll update the original post with solution.

edit:

now I need to figure out if I can this up and running github.com/vosen/ZLUDA as it seems quite a bit interesting for both of our use cases though I’m fine with ROCm for the meantime, got 3x faster render speed vs just using my CPU

WereCat OP ,

Why? Also I didn’t know about any docker container and never seen any mention of it when looking up solutions.

WereCat OP ,

Does docker require virtualisation to be enabled?

WereCat OP ,

Thanks, I’ll look more into it once I get more time but from a glance this seems a bit too convoluted for my needs.

WereCat OP ,

If it breaks, it breaks… But I’ll give it a try on my laptop with PopOS

WereCat OP ,

Yeah, I’m aware it has different packages but I need to familiarise myself with docker first either way. Eventually I plan to switch both systems to PopOS Cosmic DE 24.04 once it fully releases so for now I’m spending most time just tinkering and trying to get more familiar with Linux. Pretty much all SW I use runs on it anyways too. Right now I want to get DavinciResolve up and running with my GPU.

WereCat OP ,

I did try and I like it a lot but I don’t want to daily drive testing build.

Wasn’t aware of the flatpack script, will check it out, thx!

WereCat ,

Same here. I like that Pop!_OS makes it default.

WereCat ,

Yes. What they want to achieve is being limited by staying with GNOME, but thanks for your agenda opinion.

WereCat ,

Yes. And instead of taking advantage of that they shrunk the battery to have thinner tablet instead of better battery life.

WereCat ,

Easy. I name it “Sparta”. So every time when someone asks me what disease I have I can then say “Disease Sparta!”.

WereCat ,

I’d argue the “selling” point of Pop!_OS are their non-vanilla GNOME features.

Encrypted DNS anyone? (NextDNS for example)

If I understand it correctly DoH (which I use with NextDNS) should prevent ISP from snooping.

No worries, I’m getting this on Christmas sale 3y later

WereCat ,

Sure but that’s none of your business

WereCat ,

I used text to speech AI by one of the BG3 actors on his comment and he does sound cool.

WereCat ,

I don’t mind identifying people based on their unique pp but I find that quite NSFW

WereCat ,

To be fair your comment begged for that joke and I absolutely had to take that freebie ;)

WereCat ,

I don’t believe that only 800 people played on Linux. It makes no sense to me in the grand scheme of things. I have a personal YT channel with only 108 subs and my random low effort video on how to get League running on Steam Deck has almost 70k views which is nuts and there are many other much better videos than mine with many more views. If only 0.1% of those people are active players that would still make a lot more than “800” figure. I know this is just a random speculation but 800 is just waaaay too low.

WereCat ,

I use these at work where I have to use ear plugs. I hate in-ear headphones and these work perfect for my niche. Also get 2 workdays worth of battery life from these.

What I find a great bonus is that the mic on them does not pick any of the 80dB+ noise around me when I’m making calls. Also comfortable to the point that I sometimes forget I even wear them.

Also a physical button for pause/play so I don’t have to take off my gloves.

I find the default EQ quite bad with earplugs so I just use the parametric Wavelet EQ SW on my Android phone with quick preset for my other Sony WH1000XM3… Which sounds great on these as well especially for voices/vocals as I tend to listen to audio books.

WereCat ,

Flick stick + Gyro is imo better on the SC but it also has a longer learning curve

WereCat OP ,

I just got home. You’re right that it’s using NTP. I went into BIOS and checked system time and it was 1h behind so I corrected it. timedatectl shows that system clock sync is OFF so I used hwclock --systohc command to sync with system clock and will see if that causes any issues. If it wont work then I’ll try to just stick with your way of doing it. But thanks for letting me know about the hwclock command.

WereCat ,

I agree with you but I feel like you’re completely missing the point I’m trying to make because this has nothing to do with what I’m saying. I’m talking from the perspective of someone who goes to try Linux and then runs into obscure issue and judges his experience based on that. It has nothing to do with how development works, bug reporting and making matters better. It’s just pure experience of what the OP encountered. From that point of view the things you are saying are irrelevant to the normal user. And my examples of Fedora or KDE Plasma were not meant to say it’s the same thing as what Pop!_OS is doing rather than drive the point that from someone else’s perspective who goes to try Linux and runs into obscure issues they may not even know how to find a solution to, it’s irrelevant what the devs do, how old is the distco, etc… They got the newest version available on the website and installed it expecting it to work with maybe some minor flaws and tinkering needed. The only thing that matters is that it’s not working as expected and the user is left clueless and frustrated when something completely breaks.

Plenty of new people who get lured into trying Linux don’t even know what to look for to make the right decision so they often go in blind and then get shunned by Linux “experts” because they “didn’t make research” regardless of which distro they went with because there will always be those who will say they picked the wrong one.
