So, the blame is on the company that manufacturers and operates the Dragons. Maybe Musk should call them out…

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.

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).

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)

They didn’t say that their VR headset could actually see both of the 4k displays at once. The highest resolution consumer VR headset is 3840 x3744 @ 90hz.

So it isn’t a lie to say that I can create a 16k 240hz virtual display but unless my face is right on top of it then it is like reading through a screen door and I’m only seeing, at max 144hz (Index). While VR/AR is incredibly promising, currently it’s certainly not a replacement for an actual monitor for high-end tasks (like gaming).

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%

In machine learning, that task is referred to as classification

I had all of these problems with Jellyfin and then I discovered Netflix (www.netflix.com/totallynotareferral)

I think you’ll find, as a regular civilian or a VIP in the target country, that you’re making a distinction without a difference.

Ask Saddam Hussein’s opinion on the US’s loss in Iraq or the hundreds of thousands of dead civilians how they feel about winning in Afghanistan.

Maybe they don’t want to clean up a fresh install of Windows, maybe they don’t own a computer, maybe they don’t have arms, maybe they can’t read

The walls get hot, you absorb the heat from the walls with a fluid. You use the fluid to heat water, you use the steam to drive a turbine, you use the turbine to turn a permanent magnet inside of a coil of wire. In addition, you can capture neutrons using a liquid metal (lithium) which heats the lithium, which heats the walls, which heats the water, which makes steam, which drives a turbine, which generates electricity.

If you poured water onto them they wouldn’t explode. 100 million degrees Celsius doesn’t mean much when the mass is so low compared to the mass of the water.

There once was a Whateley so brash,
Who thought all critique was just trash,

But your tongue's been too sharp,
You ignite a dull harp—
Your abrasiveness is nothing but ash.

Your retorts may be quick and they fly,
But they’re empty like clouds in the sky.
If you fail to relent,
Keep on being so bent,
You’ll continue receiving an AI reply.

It’s because your data is orders of magnitude more valuable if it has enough information to identify you as a person.

They can’t sell it to data brokers for a lot of money if those data brokers can’t find any information to link that data with their existing profiles.

Surveillance capitalism 101, companies obtain the most value by enabling other corporations to spy on every detail of your life.

If you can’t use a service anonymously, without it being linked to your actual person, then you can either be okay with living with the panopticon, or don’t use the service.

Discord has been slowing rolling this out over the years. It started being offered as a “spam protection” feature and eventually it’ll be a requirement to have an account.

They depend on the masses of people who will trade all of their privacy in exchange for not having to learn how to use VoIP software, video streaming software or IM software.
