I mean, it is faster

Lol, what? Do people really care about the ‘speed’ of their video player in 2025?

How come they don’t just use VLC?

Nvidia user here. The criticism of Nvidia support on Linux is always blown way out of proportion by AMD fanboys.

The only issue I ever have is needing to prepend prime-run to each application I want to launch with the dedicated GPU.

I’ve had significantly worse problems with AMD drivers, so much so that it really opened my eyes to how stable things were on the green team.

I’m not saying you should get one over the other, but you shouldn’t let fanboys dictate your decision. They will try to do so without admitting they’re fanboys, so we have admit it for them.

I highly recommend getting a gaming laptop. You can buy a 4070 lenovo laptop at Walmart for $1k (at least in the US.)

Otherwise, check out https://old.reddit.com/r/LaptopDeals/ until you find something that fits your needs and budget. (sorry for linking to the other site)

You should use bluetooth controllers instead of ones that take a dongle simply because the dongle is unnecessary. Playstation controllers work well, but they’re expensive and I haven’t been able to find a 3rd party variant that works properly.

I also recommend getting a wireless keyboard + mouse combo.

670 is still better than nothing.

Hopefully it can find its way to someone else’s home on the cheap and still give them plenty of years of fun.

I’m using Wayland right now, but tentatively.

Right now there’s an issue in WoW where sometimes when I move my mouse and left-click, the camera jumps to a different position, usually trying to look up.

Only happens on Wayland and it’s fixed temporarily by switching between windowed and fullscreen mode. The problem comes back sometimes when alt-tabbing and refocusing the game.

There was a bug in KDE recently where some menus weren’t properly appearing on Wayland, but that seems to have been fixed after my latest update.

Good shill.

a paid search engine

Lol.

🥱

Yeah, people say they don’t want AI driving cars while AI has better safety records than the average human.

People also fought back against having machinery to automate production.

You might want to look into the “Luddites.”

I hope you can admit you’re wrong when the time comes, but I genuinely expect you to just pretend you never stuck your neck out in the first place.

Honestly, we’re having the same revolution for white-collar jobs that automation made for blue-collar ones.

Like with chess, we’re going to reach a point where AI isn’t just ‘as good as humans,’ but it will be many times superior to the point humans need to make their own competitions excluding AI in order for them to be fair.

Is it just me, or is musk profiting off of selling people tech before it’s actually ready?

Like, we don’t have the means right now to achieve what he advertises, so he lies about it and then ‘alters the deal’ after taking people’s money.

There’s a war going on.

A war of ideas.

The word ‘nazi’ has 100% lost its meaning.

Might as well just be saying “I don’t like this person or group of people because they disagree with me.”

The culture is not here, no.

Right now, most of us believe that those who have more deserve more and those who have less deserve less. We don’t see an issue with, say, someone getting most of their meals through Doordash while complaining they ‘need’ more money.

Until that changes, we can’t expect society to change. We don’t want it to change unless it directly benefits us. If we have to sacrifice anything so those who have less than us can have more, we immediately become conservatives in our rhetoric.

Silver-lining: This will disproportionately affect rich people and consumerists because they are the ones most likely to be flying.

Right. The solution is a better government.

To get that, we need a better culture.

To get that, we need to rescind our consumerism.

Of course, but that’s more than most of the ruling class can say.

Credit where credit is due, and only where it’s due.

So Tomboys and Butch women are illegal now

🤦

got it.

So ironic.
