A great example of what I’m talking about.

“Disagree? You’re a Nazi”

You’re cheapening the word and helping them become normalized.

The extreme left and extreme right spaces have a lot in common. Purity tests and instant bans for anyone not sharing the same groupthink is probably the biggest things.

Great place, except for how far from NYC it is. I miss the days of being able to travel to NYC in less than 24 hours

The real problem is that there are crazy people who define anybody right of them as a Nazi.

But, we’re not ready to have that conversation yet

It’s a standard terms of service and a verbal “commitment” which isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

I’m sure you’ll find the exact same wording on substack’s tos.

The problem is that what social media denizens call Nazi and what Ghost and substack call Nazi are all wildly different things.

Oh yeah, this guy.

He couldn’t have done it, he was spending that time at my house helping me move. You guys were there too, remember?

They just drinking some of the residual koolaid that team Trump was pouring into social media to convince left leaning voters, who were never going to vote for him, to throw their votes away.

It’s the same tactic they used in 2016 to target black people. They simply put out a lot of fake posts from fake “black people” creating the illusion of a movement of people who refused to vote for Hillary.

The Great Hack is a documentary that covers the Cambridge Analytica scandal and shows them talking about using this exact same tactic in other elections. The former employee said it was like injecting poison into the veins of social media.

The person you’re responding to probably doesn’t even realize that they’re still regurgitating the same nonsense because they think they’re living in a world full of other people who agree with them. But that world is artificial and was created to manipulate them.

New people don’t realize that Linux is really a soap opera with a small software project attached.

Let’s say such a change happens and at that time there’s a bit of time pressure and the capacity on the rust maintainers is thing for whatever reasons. Will they still happily swallow that change or will they start to discuss if it’s really necessary to do that change? And suddenly, the C-maintainer has a political discussion on top of the technical issue they wanted to solve.

This situation could occur even if the code using the API was written in C.

If an API change breaks other downstream kernel code, and that code can’t be fixed in time then they have a conversation about pushing the changes to the next build.

In the end, Linus has already chosen to accept the extra development overhead in using Rust. I think this situation was more about a maintainer, who happens to disagree with the Rust inclusion, using their position to create unnecessary friction for other maintainers.

No, you can’t find any copyrighted text inside the model’s weights.

By allowing our politicians a seat at the table you’re opening yourself up to more harm.

Isolate us, make the voting public feel the consequences of their actions. Respond to tariffs with tariffs on red states. Sanction administration official of the inevitable human rights abuses that are coming. Call out the lies of our Government openly and with evidence.

This isn’t going to change if there are never any consequences for the people who’re doing this as well as their supporters. Revoke the visas of our oligarchs, limit their travel, stop doing business with their companies. Create incentives for educated Americans to immigrate to healthier democracies and ban our social media companies before they finish poisoning your country as well.

Is it, like, algorithmically deprioritized?

Yes, that’s modern censorship. The owners of social media get to decide how viral a piece of content will be.

This is why when you make a new X account it pushes right-wing conspiracy nonsense. Or why Palestinian topics don’t gain traction.

The manipulation of social media to control what you see and hear is invisible. Some people, topics and keywords can be deprioritized and others boosted and nobody can know the extent except the people that own the social media companies.

The Social Dilemma and The Great Hack go into the nuts and bolts of how people are profiled so that content can be targeted at them as well as how political outcomes are driven by the manipulation of social media, they’re on Netflix.

There’s an equally rabid and irrational type of person who identifies as being left of center and they, like their mirror image, would rather burn the whole world down than to compromise.

We have to learn to recognize these toxic people for what they are, an impediment. Just because they’re using left-wing memes instead of right-wing memes doesn’t mean that they’re our ally.

Populist movements require everyone, this necessarily means that we have to reach the people who’re not the swastika flying white supremacists and the first step is to recognize that most voters are not the extremists and labeling everyone that voted for Trump as a ‘Nazi’ is helping drive division and plays into the hands of the elites that seek to divide us.

Dude, the number of times I’ve resorted to a reinstall are innumerable. You know a bit more than you did yesterday and that isn’t nothing.

If you want to try a new project that’ll need tinkering with (but won’t break your existing install) look at gamescope.

Currently it’s the only way to get HDR and variable refresh rate to work. It’s what Valve made to get those features into the Steamdeck.

You just run it with

gamescope -- %command%

In your steam launch options. You’ll need to look up the options (otherwise it defaults to 720p@60hz). Ex:

gamescope -w 2160 -- %command%

For 4k. There’s a switch for HDR too but I don’t remember it without looking it up. You can use gamescope to enable FSR in any game, it can apply reshade shaders (so, things like anti aliasing in games that don’t have it natively).

Other than that, any issues you have with a particular game can usually be solved by looking at protondb.com

Keep using the GE-Proton builds of proton for best results.

Have fun 🤓

Yeah, you have Vulkan and Mesa and the GPU drivers are in the kernel. That’s the whole stack (along with Proton).

Before reinstalling completely, run a full system upgrade, I took this from system76s support page:

sudo apt update
# configure any packages partially setup 
sudo dpkg --configure -a 
# fix any missing package dependency 
sudo apt install -f 
# upgrade all packages and dependencies to newest in release 
sudo apt full-upgrade 
# make sure the `pop-desktop` meta package is installed 
sudo apt install pop-desktop

You’re also likely using some flatpak applications, so:

flatpak update

Then reboot.

They want you to reinstall because walking you through a fresh install is just more time efficient for their support staff than trying to troubleshoot system configuration problems (imagine the possible things a random user could change x.x).

It’s an error that it was written down or spoken out loud they mean.

I think the worst part is the raping.

I just noticed my reply from my phone didn’t go through x.x

This seems a lot like you’re missing some 32bit libraries. There isn’t a /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.i386.json listed in the vulkan logs.

I have no idea how they’d be named in PopOS, but I’d look into vulkan first. You may have the vulkan-radeon 64bit drivers , but not the 32bit. Wine needs the 32bit libraries for the time being.

Check

dpkg -l | grep vulkan

(or post all of dkpg -l if it isn’t too long)

to see if you have the i386 version of the vulkan radeon drivers (for reference, in arch this is lib32-vulkan-radeon, possibly the same in PopOS)

If not install them (apt search vulkan and look for something with vulkan, radeon and i386 in the file name)

cat is the tool of distinguished gentlemen

99664.262:00d4:00d8:err:xrandr:xrandr14_get_adapters Failed to get adapters

Hmmm, this gets some hits. It seems like it isn’t able to figure out which driver to use.

You can specify the driver that Vulkan should use by adding an environmental variable VK_ICD_FILENAME set the the json file for your card.

Try editing a game and changing the launch options to:

VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json %command%
