  • I took an online course sponsored by Google years ago, when AI was but a twinkle in tech bros' eyes, and one of the Gemini voices is 1000% the presenter of that course.

  • I mean, I'm not gonna buy them, but I still enjoy the dad joke.

  • Hollow succor when it's democracy on the line, and they're more than 50% done with more than 50% of their time left. They're ahead of schedule.

  • Exactly as predicted years ago. Project 2025 is still being followed, and they've accomplished over 50% of their stated goals in less than two years, with more to go.

  • Planning to upgrade GPU from Nvidia to AMD. Any pitfalls I should know about?

    Jump

  • Oh, thank you! I would have absolutely missed that little detail.

  • Thanks, and that's what I was thinking might be the case. CachyOS has an easy tool for switching kernels, and I have a vague memory of needing to blacklist certain parameters during boot, but I'll have to look into that more. Somebody kindly shared a migration guide link elsewhere to look at, and I bet it talks about some of the things you've mentioned.

    Hopefully I can get away without a reinstall!

  • Thanks, but NixOS was a bit too esoteric for me. I love the idea, but I could not wrap my head around the syntax no matter how many videos I watched or how much documentation I read.

  • Handy to know! I would have had an XFX card, but the Nvidia card dropped in price first.

  • Perhaps I can do the installation just before making the swap. Good to know!

  • Oh nice, so you swapped from a 3080ti to a 7900XT?

  • I tried MX Linux, and it didn't work with my hardware at all! Something was broken with the desktop shell or window manager that drew everything in the wrong places

    That's not to say it's bad, but it definitely isn't as plug-and-play as some other distros.

  • They're virtually comparable in features, but there's no denying that the more open nature of AMD naturally leads to fewer pain points. I haven't had any significant ones (and not ones I know would instead work with AMD), but there could be things that aren't working well now that I've just taken for granted, since I only have the one GPU.

    Generally speaking, either GPU should work great for most people for common workloads.

  • Planning to upgrade GPU from Nvidia to AMD. Any pitfalls I should know about?

    Jump

  • Thankfully, I don't do much GPU computing outside of simple video editing and games. Cuda was never a selling point for me; it was mainly raytracing, and generally speaking, I don't use it much anymore now that I've experienced the wow factor.

  • YSK: There's a new initiative for hard-forking firefox and creating a "base browser"

    Jump

  • I think you mean the one with Vince McMahon. He's a piece of shit, but I can see what you're getting at!

  • eBay pays $46M to journalists it targeted in bizarre harassment campaign

    Jump

  • This is class warfare. The wealthy thought they could get away with targeted harassment just because they're used to getting their way, and they know there's two tiers of justice.

    I'm glad the journalists won, as they should have, but there is an ever-growing list of regular people who didn't.

  • State: More than 30 water systems targeted in cyberattack

    Jump

  • does anyone know if it was something different this time?

    The article says that Minnesota law classifies cyberattacks as nonpublic information, so what we learn about the details is likely to be limited.

    • OP links to the author's Mastodon toot ✅
    • The author is hard-line anti-AI ✅
    • The author uses Codeberg ✅
    • The author proved definitively that a bunch of Mozilla code is feature creep ✅

    Now this is the kind of project I could get behind. I know the author says they have no long-term project goals currently, but I hope the FOSS community rallies around this one.

  • The other two issues are that he was allegedly repeatedly denied access to a lawyer when asked and not read his Miranda rights. Given how border patrol has acted lately, this is incredibly plausible and will hopefully lead to the motion to throw out the case being granted.
