Yeah exactly. And despite this, and despite the US using its post-WWII influence to keep us a fascist state, we have resisted and we have better worker protections, universal healthcare, unemployment assistance, and so on. And we have the guts to do something, unlike Americans.
GDPR violation, ah no wait it’s the land of the free-to-do-as-they-fucking-want(-as-long-as-they-got-money)
whew, long name
In case, like me, you’re wondering what umu is:
This is a unified launcher for Windows games on Linux. It is essentially a copy of the Steam Runtime Tools and Steam Linux Runtime that Valve uses for Proton, with some modifications made so that it can be used outside of Steam.
Yeah I was lucky to buy a 6900XT when it was near the lowest price, so I sold that and added a couple hundred for the 7900, seemed like a good future-proofing move, given the times we’re living in.
I think Apple silicon is faster than my generation of Ryzen, but the newest (Strix something?) with the LPDDRGGFASEWARGH5 memory should be faster yet. Of course buying all that memory right now would be quite painful.
So I have a framework laptop with ryzen ai cpu that uses 48gb of shared ram, and it does run Q4 llms fine enough, but I’m not sure it compares to a real GPU.
On my desktop I have an RX 7900 XTX but I’ve only dabbled in image generation so far, so right now I couldn’t really tell you the difference.
Well it works anyway even with a bit of occupied vram, but you could also buy a cheap videocard to use as an output. I have small intel card like that in my server for jellyfin transcoding, I think I paid 60€ for it, it hardly uses any power
Time to put cannons on cargos. Call Oto Melara.
Why yes debian?
Even the ultra-fascist space marine is shocked?
Ok, watch and learn. By the time it’s done it may be too late for you tho.
If your MB has onboard graphics, maybe you could mask the GPU and just pass it off to a container running the LLMs I guess
Yeah, I’m glad I took the time to set up a separate VLAN for this. It wasn’t easy on my MikroTik router (nothing ever is with those), but it’s worth the effort.
it has to share VRAM with the DE. Maybe I’ll set it up for remote development from my laptop instead to free up VRAM.
eh, just systemctl isolate multi-user.target
What a great software
They are using evaporative towers because they are the cheapest cooling solution, that’s why they waste water. If they wanted to implement something better, they could easily do it with all the billions in investment they are getting.
I still have my black Core 2 duo Black Macbook, it’s cut to a 4th of its size, a magnet is stuck near the lid sensor and it outputs video from the port on the side.
I mean it used to output, I haven’t tried turning it on in like a decade
You don’t understand, they’ve got children! Which matter, unlike the children their governments likes to massacre all over the world.
We’ve all heard these excuses before. Why do you want to force me to repeat the usual answers?
What few rights you have were paid in blood, and you refuse even slight discomfort, you simply don’t care enough, stop making excuses.
I don’t see how the size of the country matters, when labor movements have always been GLOBAL. What does Europe have to do with this?
My goal was to explain why the status quo is the way it is and most of it does come down to whatever makes the games the prettiest. I can’t fault people for that.
You can and you should. Just blindly going through life chasing your own enjoyment at the expense of everything else is egoistical and detrimental to civil society. Egoism is what is destroying the world.
Everything in life shouldn’t require research and an ethics check.
Unfortunately it does, and while I agree we can’t fix everything at once, some things are easier than others.
These kinds of issues are why we have elected officials and governing bodies and it’s their failures you should be upset at.
Yeah, and that’s another thing where people should pay more attention, but they don’t because they care more about their immediate satisfaction, with hobbies and enjoyment, rather than long-term outlooks.
