Too bad lemmy doesn’t show who upvoted/downvoted. Would be interesting to see.

The real solution is to allow users to flash custom firmware onto those headsets. There is no way I would ever buy VR/AR equipment if I don’t even have control over it. A machine that doesn’t follow the operator’s commands is useless.

I once showed a person who was constantly scrolling and sitting through ads on their phone that those ads can just be blocked with little effort. They were interested in the idea so I introduced them to Firefox and uBlock Origin and I even helped them setting it up. Days later I meet them again and notice they’re scrolling through ads again. I ask them why they’re using all those apps instead of the Firefox we set up. They told me that using Firefox is difficult because dealing with URLs and setting up bookmarks is complicated. I can’t ever imagine being inconvenienced by a different way of doing things to the point where I go back to watching ads.

The information in this is surreal considering it was published by a bourgeois news outlet. It almost makes me feel a little uneasy because why would they suddenly not care anymore.

Also the fact that they have a sponsor. I can’t take anyone with a sponsor serious.

Gallium-Nine also tends to be buggy if used with 32-bit software in particular. All the 32-bit games I’ve tried have problems with it. They usually work fine for the first 30-60 minutes and after that the framerate becomes unstable to the point where the game becomes unplayable. It happens consistently with Gallium-nine but not at all with DXVK.

I’ve seen some that try to tell people that we currently have “chrony-capitalism” (or some other prefix that some “expert” came up with) perpetuated by a few bad apples up at top. Those are my personal favorite.

It’s insane how hard they’re spinning everything to make it look like everyone is out for them and they’re the little innocent ones. AcKschuaLly there is no empire just a group of quirky and totally autonomous friends who decide to help each other out.

Back when the conflict started for the first few weeks here (Central Europe) on TV every program that featured Ukraine soldiers showed them with brown scotch tape on their upper arms. After a while they no longer gave a shit. Probably because they thought that the Wolfsangel would be unique enough for the commoners.

I have the same experience. I wrote a simple program with SDL2 to test a software renderer. All it does is create a window then go into an event loop and after each iteration it streams a framebuffer to a texture that gets displayed in the window. In the default mode (X11) my frame timings fluctuate a lot and for a while I tried to massage the code to get it stable because I was convinced that it was just my draw code. Then I eventually forced SDL2 to use Wayland and not only did the draw time per frame go down by 2ms but the fluctuations went away completely.

ComfyUI seems like the most promising but it also uses ROCm/CUDA which don’t officially support any of my current GPUs (models load successfully but midway through computing it fails). Why can’t everyone just use compute shaders lol.

I’m pretty sure I tried that one but it kept running out of VRAM. Also it utilizes proprietary AMD/NVidia software stacks which are a pain to set up. GPT4ALL is a lot better in that regard, they just use Vulkan compute shaders to run the models.

On the topic of GPT4ALL, I’m curious is there an equivalent of that that but for txt2img/img2img models? All the FOSS txt2img stuff I’ve tried so far is either buggy (some of the projects I tried don’t even compile), require a stupid amount of third party dependencies, are made with NVidia hardware in mind while everyone else is second class or require unspeakable amounts of VRAM.

Kepler cards work “OK” with nouveau. What sucks is that reclocking has to be done manually, video decoding/encoding requires firmware blobs and OpenGL support tends to be meh. Overall it’s an unstable experience. I have a stack of Kepler based cards that would still be usable if Linux/mesa had a decent driver.

XMPP is cool but so many things that you’d expect to be standard are extensions that both the Server and all the Clients need to have installed and enabled. Also some XMPP clients don’t support all extensions and some extensions also require third party software and extra setup. Matrix just works.

That being said signing up to matrix.org is cringe. Absolutely host your own homeserver.

I found the best strategy for reddit right now (besides not using it) is to go for tiny, less obvious subs where the average post has at most a double digit upvote count and a handful of comments. Anything bigger gets dangerous since it may get ranked higher in r/all
