You don’t seem to have an Nvidia Vulkan driver installed.

Your system can see the Intel and Nvidia GPUs, but it only sees an Intel Vulkan device and a software emulation device (llvmpipe).

Proton needs Vulkan for graphics to work.

Fucking called it

Only some Pixel 4a phones are affected, apparently.

You know… the stuff they’re doing to some Pixel 4as - reducing charging speed, limiting charge level, etc - those are the same things EV manufacturers do when they’ve got known faulty batteries catching fire and are trying to work around the issue with software.

Doing it to certain devices which you can look up by IMEI, that sounds a lot like something you’d do if you had a certain batch of batteries catching fire and knew which devices had those batteries.

More than a year after end of life, Google suddenly decides “stability of battery performance” is such a big issue that they’re going to pay compensation to people? That isn’t suspicious at all.

The thread is great.

Tentacles dropped out of the top 25 for the first time. Times are a changin

“TOMBOYS PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” - yesssss we HEAR you 😜

I remember hearing during lockdown that sales of business pants had tanked, but sales of business shirts hadn’t.

It was originally one computer that everyone connected to, it wasn’t a fleet of separate computers like Windows PCs.

Why is it we send things by car and it’s a shipment, but we send things by ship and it’s cargo?

If you believe it hasn’t occurred to them that they won’t have to pay wages any more, I have a bridge to sell you.

12% of humans believe we aren’t apes

All humans are apes, those people more so than most.

Just because you really enjoy golf doesn’t mean you want every movie to have a half-assed awkward golf game stuffed into it.

The data-driven optimize by numbers approach that works in their logistics or data center businesses produces bland slop when applied to entertainment.

Ironically, the negative signal of Amazon’s consistent failures in this area won’t be considered by the algorithms and focus groups the next time.

It’s a rainforest, I think.

A lot of writers apparently have no idea how to write interesting female characters. Some of the pushback from viewers / readers to increasing the number of female characters isn’t about the characters being female, it’s about them being bad characters. Boring, annoying, quippy, etc.

Nobody wants to admit that their movie flopped because it wasn’t very good, so they blame sexism. Or piracy, that one’s always popular.

it’s a good beginner distro because getting thrown into deep water is how one learns to swim

That’s… not how it works, for distros or for actual swimming. Usually when someone who can’t swim is thrown into deep water, they drown and/or reinstall Windows which is much the same thing.

Isn’t this the guy who got called out for trying to use social media brigading to force Linux kernel rust patches through? There’s a good chance those stalkers are fictional.

The benchmarks are against vanilla Wine. A lot of people are using the fsync patches, so ntsync is more about accuracy - things that didn’t work under fsync should work under ntsync.

Instead of choosing between accuracy and performance hacks, ntsync should do it properly.

Half of them will print the highest bandwidth regardless of the actual cable’s capabilities so that won’t help.
