Kidplayer_666,

The great problem with the whole “NATO is encroaching on Russia” is: you’re assuming that the countries are joining because they’re being forced to, just like they were forced into the USSR or Warsaw pact. Now, there was a verbal agreement that NATO wouldn’t expand into the east, and that is what makes it uncool. But not even close to being what Russia makes it out to be

Kidplayer_666,

If Russia believed that countries freely joined NATO, then they would try to get them alligned with them via “courtship” (aka, not being a jerk to others)

NVIDIA dynamic boost wattage

Hi, I have an Asus vivobook pro 16x oled (M7600QC) optimus laptop with a dedicated Nvidia RTX 3050 Max-Q rated 50w. When I try to use the dedicated Nvidia GPU on Linux, the wattage is only 35w. If I enable the “nvidia-powerd” daemon, it goes up to ~40w. Is there a way to raise the wattage to the rated 50w like on Windows?...

Kidplayer_666,

Is there a chance that the wattage is being somehow measured differently than on windows? Maybe it doesn’t include memory power consumption or something along those lines?

My father is a lawyer, and this happened with a judge, who agreed with him, but ended up saying something along the lines of “he deserves more than a third to have his fair share, so he’ll have a quarter”

KDE Plasma 6.0, and KDE Gear 24.02 released (kde.org)

Today the KDE Community is announcing a new najor release of Plasma 6.0, and Gear 24.02. KDE Plasma is a modern, feature-rich desktop environment for Linux-based operating systems. Known for its sleek design, customizable interface, and extensive set of applications, it is also open source, devoid of ads, and makes protecting...

Kidplayer_666,

Fedora 40 (April) should have it I think

Kidplayer_666,

Debian testing?

Kidplayer_666,

As a fedora user im excited to have it in 2 months

Kidplayer_666,

Not if you manage to conquer the world indeed

Kidplayer_666,

I am surprised they didn’t simply hand them over the ashes

Kidplayer_666,

Kinda have to ask: sources

Kidplayer_666,

Actually what happened is that some criminal got caught. And in addition to everything, he was accused of tax fraud. He successfully argued though, that because there wasn’t a field to properly declare his taxes, rhat he would be committing fraud by lying about his income, and as such had no option. This is what led to those fields to exist

Kidplayer_666,

I mean, if it is hydrogen powered, should the hydrogen be sourced by clean methods, then the only byproduct is water. Net zero

Kidplayer_666,

Wayland has proper scaling and should be the way of the future. Many apps are starting to properly support it, which should bring a few advantages.

Regarding NVIDIA, what I’ve heard is that with the latest proprietary drivers, there are very few issues (although I can’t promise you anything, currently using fedora KDE on a Mac of all things).

Bloat is relative. It all depends on what your hardware is, and as such, on how many resources you’re willing to “waste” for convenience.

The arch wiki is a really decent resource.

And I wish I knew that NVIDIA proprietary drivers don’t get installed by default in a lot of distro, but they’re usually well maintained by most distro maintainers

Kidplayer_666,

And it was also kinda less efficient than hydrogen as it was heavier.

Kidplayer_666,

I think that that is a hardware limitation, not a software one

Kidplayer_666,

Actually they’ve been cleaned a bit recently. More hands the better though

Kidplayer_666,

I mean, in the graphics department, despite starting out rough, Intel is looking kind of sweet if you tolerate some drivers shennanigans every now and then

Kidplayer_666,

Wrong, you specially militarily operated in my heart

Kidplayer_666,

I mean, if it is IG posts, then it is public information

LMDE just rocks (lemmy.ml)

I have been testing for a few weeks Mint, originally started on 21.2 on an old 2012 MacBook Air… the OS was flying! As I was looking at this now 10 years old machine, now back to usable speed again I was pleasantly surprised. On my desktop was still running Fedora that is just a bit more shiny and has the latest “stable”...

Kidplayer_666,

The main issue with Debian, i feel, is if you have modern hardware, the distro at the end of its life cycle will be quite outdated, with very old packages (namely at both the driver level, and also the desktop environment). However, I am yet to test the testing branch which may solve for this sort of use case, while still being decently stable.

Kidplayer_666,

Actually in my very very very very specific case, that is impossible. (Although for most users with modern hardware, I’d still want something a bit more dynamic, even if just from a DE standpoint)

It is impossible for me because I am on a Mac, and since the drivers are still being written :P. The kernel is custom as well as the mesa implementation, so for now, not really an option

Kidplayer_666,

And currently flatpaks really are an annoyance, because since I am on arm, they are one of the largest collections of applications, which would be great, if they didn’t ship their own outdated mesa, which means I don’t have hardware acceleration in a lot of cases

Kidplayer_666,

Did you read the actual article?

Kidplayer_666,

On the one hand, I get it, probably illegal to ship unsafe batteries around, on the other, kinda feels like they abandoned their customers a bit when they were doing a perfectly fine job otherwise

Kidplayer_666,

This reminds me of that South Park joke that Kim Kardashian was a hobbit

Kidplayer_666,

I mean, didn’t they put cocaine in Coca Cola? I don’t think it might be that recent of a trend

Kidplayer_666,

“Then you kill everyone who believes violence is a reasonable form of political discourse in a democracy and then you kill yourself for the sake of being consistent”

Kidplayer_666,

Also perfectly valid in maths, and widely used

Kidplayer_666,

That’s obviously Jeff

Kidplayer_666,

Mate, I got something for you mate

Kidplayer_666,

I mean, it’s not sexualised, it’s a funny thing I found 3 minutes ago and thought was fun to share. Unless you’re into… shrunken faces?

Kidplayer_666,

If you think about it, a fee per app download is a lot less flexible when it comes to monetising purchases. Means free apps either become paid or shove into you a lot more micro transactions. That exact model is what made devs get mad at unity (although unity doesn’t provide the download infrastructure and it was on top of a cut)

Kidplayer_666,

Portugal has basically the same issue fun fact

Kidplayer_666,

Meh, for me it makes sense if it’s plugged into the wall. Also with a 50Wh battery it should last an hour in such a mode

Kidplayer_666,

Isn’t this website AI generated stuff

Kidplayer_666,

If it were, where is my Linux version

Kidplayer_666,

Why would someone recommend an OS that sucks

Kidplayer_666,

That’s sacrilege. Temple os is the best os

Kidplayer_666,

Thick boi

Kidplayer_666,

Buy brother laser. It’s more expensive, but it’s worth it long term. They last a real long time and the cartridges last bananas and they don’t care about “official” ink

Kidplayer_666,

Use asahi on that MacBook :P. Been using it, runs fairly well, although there’s still some stuff missing

Kidplayer_666,

Actually no. There’s some pairing trickery going on on the SoC level, so if you change the NAND chips by higher capacity ones without apple’s special sauce, you’ll just get an unbootsble system

Kidplayer_666,

Same here

Kidplayer_666,

This is semi good news. While obviously it ain’t great that people lost their jobs, there’s a good change a few of them will be like “now that I have a few months of pay, how bout I try creating that cool idea I had a while ago?”
