  • Clean energy is another example of an investment which obviously saves money in the long term and also improves the economy in the short term. Conservatives don't care about that because they don't care about the long term, and even if they do, they want all of these issues to still be around so they have something to yell about (since apparently voters only care about something being a problem and can't tell if the 'solution' will actually make things better or worse). There's also a lot of lobbyist money that they can keep on getting by preventing these sorts of investments. If we stopped relying on a couple of oil companies, then those oil companies wouldn't be able to give the politicians money.

  • There are a couple more, but they're mostly similar to these. They also have transparent and black backgrounds of everything.

  • I would be at least a little surprised if the algorithm shows women more misogynistic stuff, since I wouldn't expect that to make people use the app more, which is their primary goal. But I don't really know. I was on Reddit and YouTube when I was 15, not that long ago that I would expect the algorithm to be fundamentally different, and never saw anything remotely that misogynistic.

  • Getting glad I never tried out Instagram. I can see where these 'ban social media' people are coming from if these are the platforms they're looking at, I've never seen anything nearly as bad on the platforms I use (and a most of the bad stuff I see is heavily downvoted and argued against anyways). I guess if I went to r/conservative or started watching Asmongold videos on Youtube or something I would probably see some pretty terrible stuff, but Reddit and Youtube both keep me pretty separated from their bad sides.

  • In the US, quick look for bad deals on amazon and I found 8GB ram, 256GB storage i3-1115G4 for $373 new. Should be about the same or a little worse than this one. But above that in the listings is essentially the same machine for $280.

    Looking for good deals, I found a 'renewed' 16GB RAM, 512GB storage i5-1245U on Amazon for $260, or same specs used on Ebay for $200. Has a pretty decent iGPU as well, for the time. New was $400 or greater though even on the 8/256GB machines with that CPU. For something that isn't a laptop, used BC-250s in the US are at about $160, still a great deal even though back in November they were about $95.

    I'd say in the US there's no reason to get a low end laptop new, the pricing gets much more sane in the midrange usually. And also that you can find some pretty terrible hardware still being sold as new on Amazon. But there are good deals here, even if they take a bit of looking sometimes. Which may be different from the country you're in, idk. sorry for the ramble, I just enjoy looking for good value hardware lol

  • big in music performance, composition, physical instrument design, etc as well

    i would be surprised if there are more than a few musicians above a typical high school level that don't have at least a surface level understanding of overtones

    at least in wind/percussion instruments, i have no idea about vocal people as i've never done any of that

  • ROCM still barely works on Windows and it's only recently been supported at all IIRC.

  • What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?

    Jump

  • Yeah, Linux generally supports older hardware for much longer, but it's not only that. Linux devs are fairly attentive about performance, clean code, consistent frameworks, etc, meanwhile Microsoft is out there making random OS components in React just because it's a little easier. From what I've heard the culture there is to not care about how something is done as long as it works.

  • i feel like in general there's not usually much of a reason to upgrade after a single generation, regardless of the vendor, unless you have some very specific circumstances

    yes, the b580 is good, but it's not that good

  • Linux performance improvements are most noticeable on lower end hardware, at the higher end performance VS windows is usually pretty random from what I've seen.

  • I find that having a tissue in my nose, eating, sipping water, or playing an instrument that goes in my mouth all very effectively mitigate the urge to sneeze. When I get bad allergies or a cold I often have a constant strong urge to sneeze for up to half an hour at a time, so I sip water slowly for a while.

  • don't have word but trying it rn, loading into new blank documents or mostly empty ones:

    notepad: ~3 seconds the first time, ~1 second immediately after

    libreoffice writer: ~7 seconds the first time, ~2 seconds immediately after

    onlyoffice docs: ~5 seconds the first time, ~2 seconds immediately after

    collabora office docs: ~12 seconds the first time, ~2 seconds immediately after

    vs code: ~2-3 seconds the first time, ~1.5 seconds immediately after

    visual studio 2022: ~5 seconds to title screen, quit and opened a file in ~5 seconds, ~4 seconds immediately after

    servo: ~3 seconds the first time, ~2 seconds immediately after

    chrome canary: ~2-3 seconds the first time, ~1.25 seconds immediately after

    tengscribe: ~1.25 seconds the first time, ~1 second immediately after

    texstudio: ~5 seconds the first time, ~3 seconds immediately after

    there is a clear winner here. i completely forgot that i had that program lol

  • The most recent estimates are between 2.5 and 7 million people in the area now covered by the US and Canada. The areas further south were a lot more populated.

  • Is the Raspberry Pi Still an Affordable SBC? I Don't Think So

    Jump

  • I heavily dislike them locking down their cameras. Idk if that was a particularly recent move or not, but I would never consider the hardware as open if it has built in vendor locking functions.

  • A few years ago I installed Linux on a $40 used Chromebook with 4gb RAM. It runs Blender, Freecad, Minecraft, Celeste, Portal, Kdenlive, etc perfectly acceptably. It has CPU performance a tiny bit worse than the Pi 5, but is x86 and comes with a mouse, keyboard, battery, etc.

    I don't think comparing performance over used PCs is ever going to be favorable for a pi, I think the reasons to get one are reliability, gpio, and the small form factor.

  • there are a lot more comments on their profile on piefed, some must be in communities that aren't federated here or smth

  • Intel announced plans to start making GPUs, challenging NVIDIA's dominance

    Jump

  • Yes, it works out to a ton of power and money, but on the other hand, 2x the computation could be like a few percent better in results. so it's often a thing of orders of magnitude, because that's what is needed for a sufficiently noticeable difference in use.

    basing things on theoretical tops is also not particularly equivalent to performance in actual use, it just gives a very general idea of a perfect workload.
