Lojcs,

This doesn’t mention the part where if you enable hdr, it sets the color profile to edid without an option to change it, which for my monitor makes everything very desaturated even in comparison to srgb mode (with no color profile)

Lojcs,

You can’t with hdr as I said. Check it yourself if you want

Lojcs, (edited )

I had thought it was about the color profile because with hdr disabled from system settings, enabling the built in color profile desaturates colors quite a bit and does some kind of perceived brightness to luminosity mapping that desaturates bright / dark hdr content even more. Although I don’t think that’s the cause of my problems anymore.

Thanks to your tip about kscreen-doctor, I could try different combinations of hdr / wcg / edid and see how the colors look with different combinations: https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/3a449875-a635-4047-8eea-7d26670339ff.png

I think there must be something wrong with my screen since the hdr reduces saturation more than anything else. Anyways, thanks for the good work

Edit: Tried this with an amd gpu. hdr+wcg works as expected without muted colors. hdr without wcg still significantly desaturates colors, so I guess that’s a monitor bug. Now to figure out gpu passthrough… (Edit 2: It seems to just work??)

Side note, when I turn off hdr only from kscreendoctor the display stays in hdr mode until it turns off and on again, that didn’t happen with nvidia

Edit 3: Found something weirder… Hdr colors are muted on nvidia gpu and seems vibrant with the amd igpu. If I plug the monitor to the motherboard (amd), enable hdr, then unplug and plug it into the nvidia gpu, the colors are still vibrant??? I can disable and enable hdr again and again and they aren’t affected. They’re even fine when hdr is enabled without wcg??? But if I fully turn off the monitor and back on they once again become muted with hdr. Weird ass behavior

I liked the previous system more than this. I think they could easily have the best of both worlds by making each pipe its own segment that pulls fluid from segments that have less fluid in them proportional to how much fluid that segment has. That way there’s both a propagation lag (and closer buildings getting more throughput than farther ones) like the current system and high throughout if the entire pipe is filled like the new system. This even opens up the possibility of higher quality pipes forming larger segments to increase throughout when the pipe isn’t fully filled.

This would cause sloshing, but that can be fixed by each segment checking if the segment they’re pulling from pulled from them last tick and if so temporarily combining into a single segment for the next tick.

The evaluation order feels tricky for this to work and the fill amounts of the segments would need to be updated right after evaluation instead of at the end of the tick for full throughput, but I think that can be figured out

Lojcs,

What would it do?

Edit:piping it no less

Lojcs,

It has a steam release. Still ubisoft launcher

Lojcs,

Isn’t this them telling us?

Thoughts on Space Games, Part 1: Top-5 AAA Games

Hey everyone, I’m a big player of Space Games of all forms, and this mini-genre (or ‘theme’, if you prefer) really has a TON of range and depth, and is a very fertile ground for indie and unique projects. I was recently playing a game called Avorion, after owning it for years without ever really engaging with it, and...

Lojcs,

I nominate chorus for the AA showdown

Also, was outer worlds considered for this one? I hear it’s also a Bethesda game in space, would be interesting to compare it to starfield

The anti-AI sentiment in the free software communities is concerning. (lemmy.world)

Whenever AI is mentioned lots of people in the Linux space immediately react negatively. Creators like TheLinuxExperiment on YouTube always feel the need to add a disclaimer that “some people think AI is problematic” or something along those lines if an AI topic is discussed. I get that AI has many problems but at the same...

Lojcs,

But ml is a type of ai. Just because the word makes you think of androids and skynet doesn’t mean that’s the only thing that can be called so. Personally never understood this attempt at limiting the word to that now while ai has been used for lesser computer intelligences for a long time.

Lojcs,

I wrote ml. If you didn’t misread, what are you talking about?

Lojcs,

Clickbait. Even the author admits that this doesn’t mean anything because the architecture is different and rops usually aren’t a bottleneck

And the first part is wrong too, top 2 dies’ Cuda counts are going up, rest are the same or going down.

Lojcs,

Public workers, pensioners and minimum wage get raises when the government needs political capital. Not sure about private

Edit: but most unions negotiate in the beginning of the year I think

Lojcs,

How fast do they think internet connections are? If the higher quality assets were that big compared to the 300 GB install no way they’re going to finish loading or fit in the memory while you’re playing the game

Lojcs,

You mean 2? Crashing into thin air is fixed. Missions come in at a more reasonable pace. Not sure what other bugs there were but when I played it it was stable

Edit: oh also bloaters spawning in front of you was also fixed I think

Lojcs,

Simon bolivar is broken

PowerColor uses NPUs to lower GPU power consumption and improve frame rates in games (www.neowin.net)

PowerColor has come up with an interesting use for neural processing units (NPUs) in modern CPUs. At Computex 2024, it displayed so-called “Edge AI” technology that pairs a graphics card with an NPU to lower power consumption in games....

Lojcs,

That website g r o w s

Lojcs,

The kids? Boomer? How old are you, 13?

Have you never heard people calling old things boomer shit? Boomer shooter rings a bell? Even if halo isn’t as old as those, it’s still more than 2 decades old. Perhaps xbox’s issue is that most of their biggest ips (including the ones they acquired) are 2 decades old

Lojcs,

Nintendo has a different audience, just look at the comment above.

Edit: they also have less competition in their genres in comparison to the countless fps games halo needs to compete with

Lojcs, (edited )

If you have snapshots delete some of them. Deleting things won’t get you disk space if there are snapshots of them.

Lojcs,

That’s normal on btrfs

Lojcs, (edited )

What does balance do in that context? As I understand unless the volume spans multiple drives or the files were so numerous and small that metadata was a significant portion of their disk usage, rebalancing will only unallocate data chunks just for them to be allocated again when that space gets used.

Unless the program you’re using is wrongly checking unallocated space instead of free space, it shouldn’t really affect disk usage

Edit: It might help with trim and make the drive faster though. But you’re also putting a bunch of unnecessary wear on it so it might not be worth it

Lojcs,

They are different subvolumes in the same filesystem but df doesn’t show subvolumes

Lojcs,

You can check with sudo btrfs subvolume list /

Lojcs,

And it asks for your location first thing…

Lojcs,

That gives a new meaning to ai overcolck

My friend didn't have a great experience with Linux

I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it. I asked him if he wanted to dual boot, he said no because it would fill up all his storage. We installed Linux Mint. The other day, he wanted to play...

Lojcs,

I really wish people stopped recommending mint for any purpose other than reviving a 20 Yr old laptop into a chromebook.

Lojcs,

Unless your hardware demands it a distro with a modern de would be much better for those imo

Lojcs,

Partial orders can also have maximums

Lojcs,

Stop burning coal then

Lojcs,

Pretty sure Ubuntu does hands off updates. And neither arch or Ubuntu required me to do any configuration to get Nvidia graphics working aside from the driver selection in the installer

Lojcs,

I’m on Wayland

Lojcs,

Fallen order. You can adjust the difficulty!

Lojcs,

I haven’t played ds2 or 3 yet, but found ds1 to be easier than fallen order / sekiro with how you can level up your way through tough enemies even if you dont take the intended route

Lojcs,

Doesn’t c stand for e-cores? Packing up to 32 e-cores must be easier than with normal cores.

Also kinda wish they went the other direction a little, cut cure counts and put more cache across all levels on some cores instead for better single thread performance, a ‘very big’ core so to say. Intel’s cache sizes have been larger then amd since alder lake and there stayed competitive despite their process node disadvantage

Lojcs,

I think he’s wearing a skirt

Lojcs,

That’s what happened to yuzu

Lojcs,

That doesn’t mean they used proprietary code. The keys were supplied by the users

Lojcs,

I mean, yes the yuzu team did have problems with the money scheme and openly playing games before their release, but the fact that even forks by people who had no connection to the devs got taken down shows that Nintendo can take down any project they want, regardless of if it contains proprietary code

Lojcs,

I’m not sure what your definition of AA is so this might not be helpful to you, but here’s what I’d consider so:

Supergiant games, most Lego games, Telltale games, Klei games, most of the open world survival craft genre, Chorus, Alan Wake, Darkest Dungeon 1/2, Doom and other boomer shooters, most platformers (a hat in time, Celeste, ori, mirror’s edge etc.), risk of rain 2, disco elysium, most metroidvanias (hallow knight, hyper light drifter), older titles in some AAA game series / older AAA games in general…

Lojcs,

Can we not link archives in post link section? They have really bad loading times and are mobile incompatible. Put them in the body if you want

vg247.com/marvel-rivals-alpha-contract-doesnt-let…

Lojcs,

Then use an adblock

Lojcs,

They serve the desktop html to everyone. Text either doesn’t fit the screen or you need to zoom out and then it’s too small to read.

And the time difference is significant too. 1-2.5s original site, 3-10+s archive. It’s a worse experience, especially if you have adblock on.

What’s wrong with giving the original link as default? That way not only would everyone have a good experience (and those who use adblock or a proxy / custom front-end etc would get the experience they expect), but all that traffic wouldn’t unnecessarily burden the chosen archive site neither. Again, put it in the body if you want.

Lojcs,

Basically you get the best of… nearly everything.

But I don’t get the best of everything. I get the experience you want to have, which is not the same as mine. I don’t want to wait forever for the archive to dig the site out if nobody has accessed it the last few minutes. I don’t want to have to use Firefox reader mode to have an acceptable experience. Not to mention that you can use reader view with most sites themselves and get all its benefits anyways.

I don’t want compulsory ad blocking. I know hating online publications in hip here but maybe I want them to survive so I don’t want to block their ads. And conversely I don’t want to put unnecessary traffic on archive websites from everyone going through them to read the article as opposed to only the people that want to.

If you access from Europe you get a “cookie wall” (which I don’t think it’s EU compliant)

I’m not from eu and that’s not the prompt I got. It only had accept and manage buttons and the manage button opened a thing that had a reject all button.

on the archive.org saved page you also get the online address too.

If the archive link wasn’t the default (and only) option you wouldn’t need to use reader mode or get the address from the archive (and waste time doing so) to get back to a good experience. Like I said, put the archive in the body if you want so that people have options, but don’t make it default.

Lojcs,

Wishing for a god of War collection or something of the sort worth the older games

Lojcs, (edited )

I’ll never understand people jumping to play unfinished games. There’s no way most of those 100k people are actually going to participate in the ea feedback / qa process, so all they’re achieving by playing early is spoiling the game for themselves with an inferior version. It’s not like this is made by an inexperienced studio that might keep it in ea indefinitely neither, you literally just need to wait a year to play it when it’s released. /r

Lojcs, (edited )

What made you think I want people to quit having fun? If anything it would be more fun to play once it’s finished, and it’s not like there’s a shortage of games to play in the meanwhile.

Edit: I just want people to give more thought into the games they play than “whatever’s on top of steam today”. Just because it became available now doesn’t mean you have to play it right away.
