They that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

If they have to change the names of things, Xfce users are probably fine with taking it one letter at a time.

[email protected] should be the lemmy-style link to it, which I’ll just put here so I can follow it.

Based on my memories of Alphabet City in the 1990s I assume that by now it’s all $15000/month luxury suites.

She took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they had been happy; and they clapped their hands.

It’s fucking systemd again isn’t it

There got to be enough money involved in blogging that someone finally succeeded in replacing it with a convenient, easy, well-advertised platform that they could enshittify and extract maximum profits from.

What if we just vote on individual words, and then show them all in order of popularity?

What’s a media zombie? Someone who watches 7 hours of tiktok every day?

It’s obviously the right idea, Cory’s been saying it to anyone who will listen for months if not years, but it would depend on governments doing something. How can it possibly happen then, if there aren’t powerful corporate interests hiring lobbyists to say it in a way that politicians can hear?

Go game devs were super lazy, couldn’t even design interesting shapes for the pieces.

Poor Nvidia… the AI bubble is going to burst, the gamer market has all kinds of reasons to hate them now, and all they’ll have to console themselves with is several trillion dollars.

Okay I’m not surprised that C and Rust are popular, but I didn’t expect there to be so much Vala in there.

Device drivers are not like other software in at least one important way: They have access to and depend on kernel internals which are not visible to applications, and they need to be rebuilt when those change. Something as huge and complicated as a GPU driver depends on quite a lot of them. The kernel does not provide a stable binary interface for drivers so they will frequently need to be recompiled to work with new versions of linux, and then less frequently the source code also needs modification as things are changed, added to, and improved.

This is not unique to Linux, it’s pretty normal. But it is a deliberate choice that its developers made, and people generally seem to think it was a good one.

Nouveau might be good enough by now for most games that will run on a 1060, maybe worth a try.

The driver needs to interface with the OS kernel which does change, so the driver needs updates. The old Nvidia driver is not open source or free software, so nobody other than Nvidia themselves can practically or legally do it. Nvidia could of course change that if they don’t want to do even the bare minimum of maintenance.

They started 9 years ago, but they remained popular into 2020 and according to wikipedia the last new pascal model was released in 2022. The 1080 and the 1060 are both still pretty high up on the Steam list of the most common GPUs.

Those are the GPUs they were selling — and a whole lot of people were buying — until about five years ago. Not something you’d expect to suddenly be unsupported. I guess Nvidia must be going broke or something, they can’t even afford to maintain their driver software any more.
