CaptDust,

64gb is only really worth it if you intended to immediately upgrade the drive. Shader cache and updates stay on the main memory even for games that are on an SD card, over time it will fill up. it’s worth going for the 512 for a useable system. Just my 2c as a deck owner.

Awesome! Hope you enjoy it, they’re great machines. Only tip I have is take a few minutes to learn how to use steam input. Once you can craft your own context menus and input schemes, it unlocks a ton of potential. Take advantage of the gyro, touchpads and rear buttons. It totally changed how I play truck simulator, and I set up a custom scheme for city of heroes, tons of fun and very usable for an MMO.

Embracer rolls out new AI policy to 'massively enhance game development' | Game Developer (www.gamedeveloper.com)

Article textNewly-restructured Swedish conglomerate, Embracer Group, will leverage AI models to bolster game production. As noted in Embracer’s annual report, the company has adopted a new AI policy package it claims has the capability to “massively enhance” its production process by “increasing resource efficiency,...

CaptDust,

Ignore the thousands of employees we’ve laid off, we have AI that is going to QUADRUPLE our productivity. I’m talking AAAA-AAAA games here, folks. The best is yet to come, it’s going to be fantastic.

CaptDust,

I had this same question, I learned “meat” chickens are called broiler chickens, they were bred to put on weight rapidly. Egg laying chickens are separate breed and grow slower or won’t grow to the size of a broiler. The industry is limited by containment footage, so they wouldn’t use a male egg laying chick where they could house a broiler.

CaptDust,

Bummer. Guess I’ll keep eyes on paralives I’m not going back to sims.

CaptDust,

Touch it the right way and it’ll raise straight up for you, if you know what I mean.

CaptDust,

Ah yes, democrats are widely known for their support of christofascism. Always out there forcing their religious beliefs on society, claiming America as a birthright theocracy.

Who was the US Republican die-hard neo-lib Senator

Paul Ryan, he should never be allowed to live it down. After Tom Morello put Ryan on blast, Ryan clarified he likes the sound but hates the lyrics lmao…

CaptDust,

This attitude is why we still have people idolizing the Confederacy.

CaptDust,

Watermarking AI images 🙄

CaptDust, (edited )

Don’t fret you didn’t break any rules. The original artist is a bit of a knob for watermarking it, clearly doesn’t want anyone stealing his art generated from stolen art. The skateboard’s warped geometry is a dead giveaway.

Edit: I’m wrong your broke rules that are in mega thread, directly to jail

CaptDust,

Damn why that not in the sidebar

CaptDust,

“Your example doesn’t work without the context of the (something) intention.”

How’d I do?

CaptDust,

Damn that’s a name I haven’t heard in a minute. Good times.

Edit: it’s still good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FavUpD_IjVY

CaptDust,

It’s a PS1, the redesign was PSOne. PSX was a PS2+DVR.

CaptDust,

But PS1 and PSX are both retail product names for different systems, I don’t see calling the Wii “Revolution”…

CaptDust,

This is a fair default and warning to the user.

Uninstall the gnome desktop package, reinstall the kde desktop package and that should pull the overlapping dependencies. Might need to do this from a virtual terminal, not in the desktop environment.

Or reinstall the OS.

Edit: there’s also dnf swap command available for fedora, I’m not really familiar with it’s behavior or how it acts when both DE are already installed, but maybe that could be a lead.

Edit 2: after doing reading, I’m confident you can just dnf remove @gnome-desktop. The .config files will not be impacted. Applications with overlapping KDE dependencies will belong to two groups, and the operation will keep the ones that include the KDE group. I still recommend a backup.

CaptDust,

It shouldn’t but I’m hesitant to say it won’t. Back up all the things you don’t want to lose, this is not a risk free maneuver. However in my limited experience it was the opposite - it’ll remove the applications, but you will still have now-useless config files from the removed environment in place taking up space.

CaptDust,

Hey op, after doing reading, I’m confident you can just dnf remove @gnome-desktop. The .config files will not be impacted. Applications with overlapping KDE dependencies will belong to two groups, and the operation will keep the ones that include the KDE group. I still recommend a backup.

CaptDust,

Sounds like you’re rolling your own immutable os, in a way. Masochistic is an accurate description.

CaptDust,

While I believe it should be standard to let players use locked characters in training, it’s also not standard. Full priced fighting games don’t even give access to all the characters these days, why expect f2p to be different?

CaptDust,

I bought the first game and just never got to it? Damnedest thing. No idea why, I hear it’s great and reasonably quick to play through…

CaptDust,

The context is Kirby Air Ride, a racing spinoff. Not that it changes much, but it is fully 3D and a genre that can take advantage of surround sound.

CaptDust,

Well I didn’t notice the stilettos, but now I’m even more confused by that stance she’s taken. I don’t want to question hotdog anatomy but who walks around like that?? (Crabs- crabs do.)

CaptDust,

I love this idea. Very publically shameful and the physical activity would beat him down in a way no jail cell could. Hope the judge considers this, seems like a proper punishment.

CaptDust,

Yup spotted my first one on the road just couple days ago, it looks so much worse in person. It had a nice dirty brown tint going on too.

CaptDust,

I did LFS some years back, but only enough to get to a basic working system. It eventually devolves into doing similar steps to compile each piece of software, which after you’ve compiled a bunch of packages already kind of becomes repetitive. The path of getting there is pretty fun though, it’s a lot of reading and I learned a lot… including that I’d never want to maintain a system like that.

Good learning experience though.

CaptDust,

Obviously, why wouldn’t he? This is potentially the dumbest argument ever heard in a court room and we’re all supposed to sit here and entertain its plausibility. What a joke.

CaptDust,

Photo of the Swift Asylum, it’s actually horrible! Just 3,600 sqft on 11 acres?? who could live like that!

CaptDust,

I mean her parents would drive to NY for singing and acting lessons, the family relocated to Nashville to enable her carrer, paid for private school, beautiful homes… by all accounts her family provided a strong foundation for her to launch.

She’s been supported throughout her life, calling the way she was raised an “asylum” is kind of insulting to people that grew up wondering if there would be food on the table or if Dad was coming home angry again. Not to minimize her struggles but I’m willing to bet most people could actually last an hour

Brackeys is back, and will now make tutorials on Godot (www.youtube.com)

This is exciting news for every aspiring game developer! Brackeys, a popular YouTuber who used to make in-depth and very user-friendly tutorials about Unity, is returning after a long hiatus, and will now create tutorials on Godot (for those who don’t know, it’s a FOSS game engine, but I’m pretty sure that, if you have an...

CaptDust,

This is fantastic news, he’s released so many high quality tutorials. Very happy he’s returned and love he’s focused on Godot. It’s past time for everyone to stop helping self serving corpos, they can go create their own supporting materials.

CaptDust,

Oh damn those mobs look awesome can’t wait to setup my volcano lair

I don’t think you’re going to find an explicit list of drivers in a distro, at least that I’ve found. I think a better approach will be to lookup your hardware and try to find what kernel version support was added. If the distro is shipping that version or newer, you’ll probably be good to go.

There’s exceptions however like proprietary drivers. While those drivers are becoming exceedingly rare, some distros will only ship with FOSS software, don’t expect debian to ever work out of the box with nvidia. This is usually a principles/morals decision by the maintainers. That said distros that ship closed source software usually advertise it, they might offer an Nvidia build or the distro include software like steam pre-installed.

You didn’t mentioned your component specifically but if your hardware doesn’t have mainline kernel support, is pretty good assumption it’s proprietary and will need to be handled separately with something like dkms. Check the distros documentation for their recommended approach.

Edit: to clarify on my debian example, Nvidia cards will work with open source nouveau out of the box on debian, but you will definitely want to install proprietary driver if you’re using the card for CUDA or gaming.

try to find what kernel version support was added.

how to do this?

There’s no centralized database I’m aware of, it’s just googling hardware + “linux kernel” and hoping to come across something in a mail list. Admittedly, not ideal or always fruitful.

thanks, I never heard of dkms before. I read the arch wiki, wikipedia, and made an attempt at the github repo (very long and over my head). The arch wiki only mentions nvidia. Is this something I need if I am certain nvidia is not the problem? Or is it a general thing?

It’s a general thing, it was created to load kernel modules (drivers) without having to recompile the kernel entirely. Again without specifics of distro and hardware it’s hard to generalize an answer. With arch there’s probably a package in the AUR that could be used. (And the package will setup dkms for you). Doing it manually is a bit more involved but shouldn’t be much harder than cloning the repository and running a command inside the folder.

Off the top of my head some components I’ve had problems with: touchpads, touch screens, wifi, ethernet, bluetooth, audio in, audio out, media keys. I have suspected others also like (onboard intel) GPUs but it’s a little harder for me to even pin those problems down to the hardware.

So basically everything… Lol. Still hard to diagnose without specifics, vendor support varies wildly. A newer Intel wifi card is likely mainlined, while a realtek card is going to be living in hell. Ethernet is a weird one, I don’t think I’ve come across any vendors entirely not working but perhaps something like a Killer NIC (built with a proprietary protocol) could fail.

Many of these examples sound like a laptop, the arch wiki may have more information they cover a lot of popular models and note hardware capabilities. Usually if putting Linux on a laptop it’s about buying one with that intention in mind because it can be very uncertain. Laptop vendors do crazy things… use non compliant bios, proprietary media keys and finger readers, custom audio stacks to make them sound better, the list goes on.

CaptDust,

Listen up, if your parsing tool throws a tantrum over a tab, it’s time to rethink your life choices. Tabs are as fundamental to Kconfig files as oxygen is to humans. If you can’t handle tabs, you have no business parsing kernel configurations.

Heh this is so succinctly scathing, but also dead on …

CaptDust,

Built that tower so high god was like nah y’all done cooperating fr

CaptDust,

Can you explain the benefit of using F1TV app this way, instead of the browser? I’m genuinely curious if this gives a better experience in some way

CaptDust,

Those prizes suck. You could win a weekend off spending time with your friends and loved ones!! Or a cupcake.

CaptDust,

What makes these financers so sure their spoiler candidates will only take votes from Biden?

CaptDust,

Yeah idk, I haven’t heard any Dems say they’re going to break from Biden for someone like RFK, the dude is an anti science nut job and at least my circles see right through it. I have heard trumpists say they’d consider him if trump ended up in jail or whatever though. 🤷

Hopefully this strategy backfires spectacularly.

CaptDust,

The visuals and music are what kept me coming back to it for years hah, but I’ve only beat it scrub style with the assistance of ROM rewinds. Some games are designed to eat quarters, I think Ikaruga was designed to drain paychecks.

CaptDust,

I haven’t played on PS2, but Rez Infinite uses additional controllers as trance vibrators. Great for parties!

CaptDust,

Shop may be my new favorite internet video. What brilliance
