Nothing serious, but he’s well known for being impossible to work with. He has gotten into multiple arguments because he refuses to follow kernel development rules. When called out on it, he makes a big stink about it. Obviously his code doesn’t get merged. Then he does the exact same thing again 1 month later.

He has gotten into multiple arguments with Linus Torvalds over his refusal to simply follow the kernel development rules. During those arguments he has made cheap shots at completely unrelated people, which then drags those people into the argument.

It’s gotten to the point where apparently a significant portion of the kernel developers feel like he was negatively impacting the kernel, and Linus eventually removed his code from the kernel.

He’s what you might call a Linux lolcow. And now he’s doing even more lolcow things by… Getting weirdly attached to his LLM-sona

Add the backports ppa, that’s what I do. Currently on Plasma 6.5.4 on Kubuntu

I’ve encountered that issue. Check your GPU settings. It seems on some GPU’s, the default voltage is too low. So if you run any game that taxes the GPU too much, it’ll just crash and require a hard reboot. The solution is to either lower your GPU clocks or raise your GPU voltage. There was a post on Lemmy a while back that I’ve saved. Let me try to dig it up…

Libreoffice is frankly really cumbersome to use. I’ve found that OnlyOffice is significantly more user-friendly, and that’s been my go-to recommendation for office replacements

I can tell you that I’ve never seen him wear a clown suit. Is he even serious about bringing peace to Gallia?

A wealth tax floated in California has liberal media trying to convince billionaires to leave

Even more accurate

Fighting against AI slop is fine, but that’s not what’s happened here. The devs tested using gen AI for a brief time with the intention to make placeholders. They stopped using gen AI after they found problems with the outputs. They therefore continued to use humans to make the rest of the placeholders. They then replaced all the placeholders with finalized versions, which are entirely human made.

The issue is not that Expedition 33 has gen AI, the issue was that they used gen AI for a brief time in the game’s development

Basically everything is more powerful than the steam deck. The steam deck wasn’t really designed to be powerful, moreso it’s meant to be the “reference model” for handhelds: cheapest, weakest, yet also most mainstream. My understanding is that the Z2 should be substantially more powerful than the steam deck, and though it should also use more battery than the steam deck, it also has a larger battery capacity to make up for that increased power draw. Price, on the other hand… Well, nothing can even get close to the sort of price that a steam deck offers

Frankly, it seems somewhat self-evident based on the fact that Valve chose a Hawk Point 2 CPU (last gen laptop CPU with 2 big and 4 little cores) with a last gen laptop RX7600M GPU on a desktop, and also the fact that Valve calls them “semi-custom.”

But here’s the analysis: https://youtu.be/sJI3qTb2ze8

Depends on how you loosely you feel about “why”. Was battery life a consideration? Sure. But it wasn’t really the primary consideration. Valve’s current track record is that they are masters at making a product that’s surprisingly workable out of scrapyard parts that they got for cheap.

Valve didn’t design the Steam Deck’s chip - AMD designed it for Microsoft initially before the deal fell through. Then AMD offered the chips to Valve for cheap to recoup the costs.

Likewise, Valve didn’t intentionally choose the parts in the upcoming Steam Machine. Valve just bought AMD’s excess stock. That’s why the Steam Machine uses such an unusual and unbalanced CPU/GPU combo.

I honestly think SD2 is going to use x86, not for any particular reason, but because AMD is most likely going to have excess stock that’s x86 at the time that Valve designs it

Nine sols. A metroidvania with parry-based combat and insanely good plot.

My understanding is that there was a scene where a young girl rides a naked man/woman around. Apparently it has since been changed to make the child older, but… I can perfectly understand why anyone would be hesitant to accept such a game based on that description alone. Even if it’s not intended to be sexual, the developers were certainly pushing the line

I think it really depends on your definition of what counts as year of Linux. Will Linux usage ever beat Windows or Mac? Of course not. But it can definitely get popular enough that companies have to think really hard about whether they need to support Linux or not. And meanwhile, Linux isn’t going to get popular overnight (or in a year, for that matter). So do you consider the year of the Linux to be the end of growth? Middle of growth? Or beginning of growth?

For me, I think year of the Linux desktop already passed in 2021, with the launch of the steam deck (where I’m defining year of Linux to be the point where Linux usage picks up and will hopefully end at a point where companies have to take Linux seriously)

7 is a soft reboot and it’s really good, I think it’s a good starting point. 8 continues from 7, and neither games mention anything from the first 6 games. The only returning character is Chris Redfield, and only as a side character that you see 1% of the time

Thanks, we had that issue but I think we just solved it by downclocking

Gives a strangely similar vibe to seeing the slide reels. Pretty cool!

This trick also works for a lot of other non-steam games - always good to keep this trick in your hat

I liked Control but Alan Wake was a sludge. Its age really shows. That being said, it wasn’t necessarily bad enough that I couldn’t tank through the game, but if Control were in lower A tier, Alan Wake would be upper C tier

It works by taking advantage of how gasses become hotter or colder when you squeeze them.

You might be aware of the ideal gas formula from high school: PV=nRT.

This formula is cool and all, but it only works for ideal gasses, and one of the crucial assumptions is that ideal gas molecules don’t interact with each other. Of course, this is not true at all in the real world. Gas molecules can have attractive or repulsive forces to each other, which can have some interesting consequences.

The main one is that if gas molecules attract and you spread them out, they will need to absorb energy in order to overcome those attractive forces. In other words, its surroundings gets colder. Vice versa, if you squeeze the gas molecules together, they will release energy, and the surroundings get hotter.

You might start to see where we’re going with this. Building a refrigerator just involves smartly squeezing and releasing a gas in the right order. Expand the gas to cool it down, then pass it through the fridge interior so that it can absorb heat. Then, take out the gas, and squeeze to get it hotter. Pass the gas through a radiator to dissipate the heat. Rinse and repeat.

This concept is also why leaks in pressurized gas tanks tend to freeze over - the gas inside is constantly expanding, and is therefore constantly absorbing heat. On the other hand, hydrogen gas, which is repulsive instead of attractive, will get hotter when it leaks, which can lead to an explosion.
