Not really.

If it’s the same brand (AMD>AMD or Nvidia>Nvidia) the same drivers you were already using should pick up the new GPU.

If you’re switching, you can uninstall the nvidia driver if switching to amd, and you’ll have to install it, if switching to nvidia.

On some distros you may have to install vulkan-radeon to get vulkan support on amd.

I am shocked.

HEVC is proprietary.

AV1 is what we need. And a lot of newer hardware finally supports it.

I share posts they’ll like.

Or tell them about communities I’ve found I think they’ll like.

If they ask how to participate I pick an instance for them and just link them direct to the signup page, then show them how to sign in in an app.

That way there is basically no jargon. No complexity. If they sign up, they do so out of genuine interest for the content. If they ask what federation is, I explain. But the neat thing is, you don’t really need to know about it to have a good experience on the fediverse.

Plus when people see the @ with a url, they kinda just naturally get that it’s like email. They notice that it’s part of a users “address” and that it differentiates users, but they don’t really think about it past that.

Us being here for ideological reasons is extremely unusual. Most people don’t make decisions that way.

Besides. If you find good content FIRST and sign up to engage with it second, it is so much easier to become and remain a regular user.

Government: “we must protect the remains of this dead culture”

The culture, literally still there, trying to avoid getting killed by the government: “thefuck?”

I think they should make it a daily deal, but not for a week. They should also eat the discount cost, which they apparently aren’t doing, and entirely waive their cut.

What I think they should do instead of extending the deal, is reset the games launch.

There is absolutdly no reason Valve couldn’t re-launch the game, along with all the algoritm benefits an unbugged 1.0 launch should have had.

Also, you seem to have missed that the article says they are contractually obligated to complete their current WIP game. Valve giving them a bunch of money would not give them time to work on further updates for Planet Centauri before then.

That is such a chad move.

It’s going to sell no matter what the price. But knowing that, they set the price low, trusting they’ll still make a profit on volume.

If MS, EA, UBI, or any other publisher were in control, they’d set the price high, no matter how big the actual game was, knowing they’d make even more because of the hype train around the game.

1. Years.

2. IDK

3. No.

Cinnamon development is glacial. It works, but the project simply does not have the resources to properly keep up or even triage important fixes.

It’s one of the reasons I didn’t stick with mint, and tend not recommend it if someone can use something else. When I stopped using it, the setting that was supposed to allow games in fullscreen to display without compositing was borked, costing you frames and latency. It had been that way for years.

I’m a KDE user, but I’m also going to add a vote for gnome.

It’s just going to be more “familiar” to tablet logic.

Fedora Silverblue would be my distro pick. For the immutability.

I’m not sure.

AFAIK dd will create an IDENTICAL environment. This is actually not desirable as it will cause UUID conflicts where multiple partitions in a system have the same UUID.

Unless you’re restoring something you imaged, dding one disk onto another requires fiddling with the UUIDs and fstab, to make the partitions unique again, so the kernel can tell them apart.

Yes.

But moving a partition can’t be done online. And often enough it’s mecessary before growing one, that I generally just tell people to do partition changes offline.

Not if you need to move it first.

Yes. You can just straight up delete the windows partition. Windows just won’t boot anymore, even though doing only this won’t remove it from the boot menu.

You can do this from your running linux install, but if you want to grow the linux partition to take up the free space, you’ll need to do that from a live usb.

No changes should be necessary. Just delete the windows partition, and grow the linux partition.

Make sure you keep the efi partition, and swap partition, if there is one.

It’s actually grown into something of an art discovery tool in itself.

It’s not hooked into my pixiv account in any way, I have to manually feed it artists or pixiv/danbooru links, if I find a post I wanna share or add to the queue.

The real magic started when I made it so I could configure a list of communities to post to, and list relevant danbooru tags for each community, and then have the bot go out and find stuff that would fit in the community, even checking which community has the least posts lined up. AND it cross-references with artists I’ve manually added as ones I like.

And it keeps track of what’s been posted, and what stuff by artists I like hasn’t been posted.

So when the queue runs low, I can literally just rapid-fire go yay or nay on a bunch of images like its a dating app. There are currently 327864 images in the suggestion queue by artists I like. And it finds more outside that if needed based on danbooru tags.

@TotallyNotJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Don’t forget her yuriposting. Top quality stuff.

I can confirm that I’m not autistic, afaik I’m a plain cis white guy with a probably neurotypical brain.

My “bot” is a set of automation tools I wrote that let me turn my fanart collecting hobby into posts that get posted at a constant trickle instead of a flood. I do see and verify every post before they go into the queue.

My real quirk is my commenting habit. I was already an avid reddit commenter before finding lemmy, but over here something puts it into overdrive. I think it’s because discussion here is just higher quality and more respectful (at least in the subs I frequent). Plus its small enough that the comment section is not as much of a popularity contest. I’ve averaged 10 comments a day for two years now… That’s normal. Right?

Also hello. Haven’t run into you much since the start of !gameart@sopuli.xyz.

To be clear, they created new packages with these names. Anyone can make anything available on the AUR, but you cannot issue updates under someone elses existing package name.

To be clear, when projects distribute their software via the aur, someone else can’t just issue an update using their package name.

This person appended “fix” and “patched” to appear in searches next to legitimate packages, and seem worth installing instead.

Absolutely.

The Arch User Repository is a way for anyone to easily distribite software.

Hence it has never been secure, and rather than claim it is, you mostly see people and documentation warn you about this, and to be careful if using it.

Any schmuck can make whatever they want available via the AUR. That’s how even the tiniest niche project can often be installed via the AUR. But you trade in some security for that convenience.

Obviously. It too does wine environment management. But it’s meant for games, and for wine specifically, Bottles is just nicer.

Lutris is massive overkill if you just want run the windows version of python in order to compile python code to windows binaries. Not to mention it just isn’t as slick in terms of UX as a wine manager.

It’s not a catch-all game launcher.

It’s a wine environment manager. And it is becoming increasingly good at simplying the complexity of setting up wine bottles for different things.

It’s basically winetricks on steroids, with a really nice GUI to boot.

Running windows games is just one use-case.
