They can be mad at Biden for Gaza. Meanwhile, Trump will green light a full annexation of the West Bank as a quid pro quo for Miriam Adelson’s support. This is the same reason he moved the embassy to Jerusalem to lock in her husband’s support for the 2016 election.

Edit: run-on sentence

olympicyes,

You can use Whisky which is a convenient wrapper for WINE to run the Windows version of Steam. Simple games like Dredge work flawlessly on my M1 but anything used for benchmarking FPS is unacceptably slow. Translation of Intel code is the biggest issue. I assume Asahi has the same limitations as Mac OS but it is impressive what they’ve been able to do.

olympicyes,

Sorry I was very unclear. Whisky is an app for MacOS. I’ve used Steam on Ubuntu as well and it works OK but sometimes is a pain to find a version of proton that works for a given game.

Newish user migrating to Linux

I have been using Arch Linux with i3wm for around 5 years for work, on my ThinkPad. I am fairly comfortable with pacman and setting up a distro. I have previously tried Mint, Manjaro, KDE Neon, Elementary, and MX Linux, all for the same use case (Work: where I need a browser, Slack, and a MongoDB GUI)....

olympicyes,

I use Ubuntu but the arch wiki is great for this. Research VFIO via QEMU/KVM. You can pass through your GPU. Check into either adding a second GPU (I use AMD for the host and Nvidia for the guest), or single gpu passthrough. Wendell from Level1Techs on YouTube is a great resource as well as the VFIO subreddit.

I don’t think your hardware is probably good enough since your cpu is 4 core 8 thread which is cutting it tight. Some AMD cards gave a pci reset bug which means you can use it in a vm but the card won’t be released when the session is over. New AMD cards aren’t affected, but not sure on 570.

Overall bare metal vm costs more to implement but makes it way easier to never dual boot.

My personal recommendation would be to dual boot for now but to buy Intel or an AMD APU for your next machine and get an Nvidia card (Rtx 2000 series or better) for the vm. Run Linux off the integrated graphics. That’s just me.

I personally have Threadripper and it works great. Mostly use it for Adobe. I’m able to give it 16 core/32 thread, 32 gb ram, and it screams. Next step is to get a dedicated NVMe.

Good luck.

olympicyes,

Right now it’s sort of up to Nvidia and Wayland. Desktop sound is in good shape, desktop color (profiles and matching) and fonts are not there yet. Ray tracing and hdr have proven how much of a second class citizen desktop Linux is, so right now the most important factor is the SteamDeck for pushing the envelope to implement new tech. Chinese and German goverments moving to Linux helps but to be honet, I think that the “office and browser” use case is pretty well covered.

olympicyes,

What is the bridge jumping bit about?

olympicyes,

I’d suggest editing these scripts with a tool like VS Code so you can remember exactly what you did.

olympicyes,

The article said 95% of the trade will be denominated in Chinese Yuan for trade primarily between China and Russia. Russia really cannot use dollars right now because of sanctions, so we will see what their appetite is to hold large sums of Chinese currency as reserves.

olympicyes,

The list of things you can do is a bit cherry picked too. For example, in a web browser file upload dialog, try previewing the images you want to upload. You can’t do it in Gnome. It’s been an outstanding fix request for 20+ years!

olympicyes,

Maybe they don’t give up that easily.

olympicyes,

Check out Action Retro on YouTube and mastodon (bitbang.social). Sean has several videos detailing how to install Linux on mostly older MacBooks with good success. Main thing to look out for is driver support for WiFi and sound.

olympicyes,

It’s a good thing tfm is so good. I don’t use Arch but I’ve used the Arch Wiki so many times to solve my problems.

olympicyes,

What should be used instead?

Lawmaker Slammed for Claiming College Basketball Players Were Actually 'Illegal Invaders' (www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com)

Michigan MAGA Republican state Rep. Matt Maddock is under fire after claiming three buses were “loaded up with illegal invaders.” The buses, according to multiple reports, were actually loaded with the Gonzaga University basketball team arriving for March Madness....

“Totally destroys”…

olympicyes,

I get tired of the argument from conservatives that the US was founded on Christian ideals, because it wasn’t. Instead it was designed to resemble Christianity, much like how Christmas co-opted Saturnalia. The US Civic religion was meant to bring together disparate groups of people with a common belief system. At some point I think this religion actually replaced Christianity in the US. If those J6 rioters had looked up they would’ve seen the Apotheosis of Washington and realized that’s who they are actually worshipping.

olympicyes,

Are you using synergy? I have that but don’t use it anymore since they changed their code and I began to feel like a beta tester, but your point stands nonetheless. I always use Wayland on VMs but my main machine is X11 because I keep running into edge cases that make using Wayland inconvenient.

olympicyes,

I’m not excited by Biden, I’m excited by Trump. Anything to make sure Trump loses again in November.

Here you go. Don’t forget to update us with the results of your research.

In theory I agree with you, but in practice free transit might actually deter use of public transit by those who could afford to drive. Los Angeles has done a good job building new public transit but since the pandemic and the elimination of fares, conditions on the trains, particularly the subways, have deteriorated significantly. Violent crime (assault, murder, rape) has jumped, often involving homeless.

Help deciding Os

Hi, I’m learning python and I have purchased a 2015 MacBook air. I want to install Linux on it (Ubuntu) but my friend who’s a developer told me to leave the MacOs because they are similar as operative systems. What do you think? Should I change the os and switch to Linux? Thanks. Edit: thank you for your replies. There are...

olympicyes,

Definitely want to use virtual environments instead of messing with the system default Python. I’d keep MacOS and learn Python on that personally. Switch OS when they know what they are doing and more what they want.

olympicyes,

Python is basically the same on Linux and Mac. The command line tools are actually different. Some apps like date or awk work a little different on Mac. You can install gnu equivalents like gawk via brew or Mac ports.

olympicyes,

I bet her car didn’t have a shifting stalk. New Model X makes you shift using the touchscreen. I knew that idea sounded unsafe but holy moly.

olympicyes,

Swiping up to drive is the same direction as tap up to reverse from a previous model Tesla. Kind of like how trackpads and mouse scroll wheels work in opposite directions. I can see how it’s not so intuitive if the direction contradicts 35 years of muscle memory.

    Who cares. He was using metric wrenches as an analogy. The topic isn’t the value of metric literally.

    olympicyes,

    Paragon Software makes NTFS and EXT4 drivers for MacOS as well. They are referenced in the comment you are replying to. I’d personally go with whichever file system is easier to recover if something gets corrupted.

    olympicyes,

    Sean from Action Retro on YouTube has videos demonstrating how to set this up. Highly recommended!

    (SOLVED) Linux Laptop Gets Stuck on Black Screen After Suspending, No Way to Use Unless Restarted With Power Button

    Recently bought a new laptop that comes with an AMD Radeon gpu and installed OpenSuse Tumbleweed on it which I had installed on my previous laptop as well but never had issues with suspending and resuming. However, with the new laptop, I am unable to resume after suspending or closing the lid unless I force it to shut down by...

    olympicyes,

    I have this same problem when passing an AMD GPU to a virtual machine on my Linux desktop. It works the first time and then doesn’t initialize the card on reset. What you’re experiencing sounds an awful lot like the AMD Reset Bug. In my case a host machine restart resets the card. I’d suggest checking the bios to see if it’s got some kind of quick restart feature that is intended for Windows. Not being able to close the lid is unacceptable. You should return it if you can or run windows.

    olympicyes,

    This isn’t a scenario I’m familiar with. How can I learn more?

    best supported emulator for sega consoles on ubuntu 23.10

    I use kega fusion on my ubuntu 23.10 to emulate sega’s master system, game gear, genesis and cd. I don’t need to emulate anything else. The problem with fusion is, it stopped being supported in 2009 and while the latest version is stable, there is no sound. Because it’s not supported, I don’t know where to ask for help....

    olympicyes,

    My favorite emulator is OpenEmu on MacOS. So far it supports the most systems and is the easiest to use. I have a Mac but I don’t use it for games and would love to see a port for Linux.

    Is there a way to stop and rename a mounted external drive (DAS set to raid5) so it does not change names every restart linux ubuntu

    As title says I have a direct attached storage attached to a Linux machine (that used to be windows). Said raid system started as being called ./Raid and is now after 2 restarts of of the lap top it is now ./Raid2. Is there a way to make it not change names every time I do a restart. I did some looking online but don’t want to...

    olympicyes,

    It’s recommended to map the mount point to the drive’s GUID. That way if you change your hardware around you can be sure the drive will still mount.

    olympicyes,

    I guess the dictionary nazis on this site need joke comments to be flagged with a trigger warning.

    When I was a kid I bought one of these weird magnifying lens/lighting attachments for my game boy so I could play it when I was supposed to be asleep. I know what you did somehow desecrates the historical hardware but if I had the opportunity to get that mod in 1990 then I would’ve done whatever I could to afford that backlit screen!

    olympicyes,

    It’s not scalping if you bought them on the secondary market, it’s hoarding.

    olympicyes,

    Also to be fair they tried to kill PSN store on the PS3 but the resulting backlash made them realize to do so would kill customer faith in the PS4 and PS5 PSN stores and so they backed off. Nintendo could only get away with it because they already trained us not to trust their online stores and buy physical only. Since Steam doesn’t have a physical option they need to play their cards right.

    olympicyes,

    Valve was selling their controllers for $5 to blow out the stock (one per account).
