  • IPv4 is definitely a large part of the blame for this and we need to start resting the blame there in hopes we force these companies (and their users) to actually use it. We need ISPs to support it, of course for end users, but at the enterprise level everything should be IPv6. It should have been IPv6 a decade ago, or more.

  • I do know all of this, it’s just dedicated hardware for a step we’re currently simulating in shaders. Dedicated hardware that if I’m not mistaken exists on NVIDIA graphics cards already.

    That’s an added capability, not a rethinking. But it will enable raytracing in a way that is far less expensive.

  • Yeah, not sure if “use upscaling, raytracing and compress a little more” counts as “rethinking”

  • I agree on shades of gray. Some are downright evil and malicious, others are uninformed, misinformed, or honestly too stupid or ignorant to care.

    I just, at times, find it really difficult to care about the difference between a voter who wanted a white ethnostate, a voter who “only wanted to get rid of the bad ones,” and a lifelong Republican. All of their votes led to this authoritarian, you know?

  • I've known Republicans, and while the people they give their support to frighten me, most of the ones I've know aren't demons.

    I take issue with this. Most Republicans have friends, family, and loved ones. A lot of them simply believe that whatever they’re advocating for with their vote won’t happen to them or won’t happen to “the good ones.” Critical thought ended with an ideal and when the consequences finally come, when they’re finally felt, do they realize they laid the dominos that toppled onto them.

    It’s an unsettling thought, but a fair portion of the country are friends or family with people who can’t realize they’re hurting others. Just because the Republican is nice to you / others in public doesn’t mean they don’t privately have problems with or hate people who look/think like you and vote against those people.

  • If you’re definitely making the hop, copy the whole windows file system to an external NTFS-formatted drive and then mount that and sort the files later haha.

    You won’t be able to boot it as a backup, but the files will be there. If you have drive encryption you have to turn it off

  • I started up an Arch box a few months ago. I have an Nvidia GPU and Intel CPU. I’ve had no issues with drivers since that install, and I’m updating proprietary drivers when available.

  • I’m tired

  • 🫨

  • JXL isn’t lossless by default but you can encode losslessly and still get meager to fair file size reduction compared to WebP or PNG.

  • The thumbnail is honestly upsetting. Sure, I watched, but how many just won’t because their suspicion was “confirmed”by the thumbnail.

    The phone is extremely durable for its dimensions. Apple Engineers did a good job and should be commended.

  • Yep, or Pop! OS.

    I was just surprised exactly how easy Arch was after years of being told it’s practically like building your own distro by yourself. I was meaning to convey even the memetically difficult distribution is not that hard anymore.

  • Recently did this. I have a fair bit of history in CLI Linux and ancient desktop distributions. However, it’s my first time using Arch. Not only did archinstall sidestep the meme that Arch is hard to install, but I just installed nvidia drivers, steam, and started playing games. Aside from arch not coming with a browser by default to help look up things on the wiki (I didn’t specify in archinstall, so my fault), one pacman command later and it’s time to configure it to my liking.

  • Interestingly; Taco Bell has some of the cheapest fast food you can get with their luxe box line, but that more speaks to how bad everything else has gotten post-covid and during this term.

  • My thoughts reading this, considering most “political” violence came from right-wing extremists was “oh yeah of course the violence is down, they’re either now part of the government doing the violence or are finally feeling content that the government matches their extreme views.”

  • The amount of violence perpetrated by the American Right is statistically significant in recent years. The opposite is not as significant.

    That said, of course I agree it’s the rich vs us.

  • Bought a gun. Have used them plenty, never figured I’d own one. Political violence by the American right is too commonplace. This administration is sweeping people off the street without due process. I’ve read history books. Might as well buy it and not need it than need it and not have it is how I feel.

    And to anyone thinking about buying a gun who has never fired one, take a safety course and try it out first.

  • Genuinely curious: what’s the use case?

  • PS5 is supposedly no longer sold at a loss.

    That said, the margin per console is probably not good enough for their required profit growth, hence this.

  • I’ve been using a Reolink Wi-Fi doorbell connected to my own Frigate server over RTSP. Frigate talks to HA via MQTT and everything works from there.
