  • I'm giving Linux gaming a shot, but I've run into a couple display issues

    Jump

  • I have Nvidia, the actual experience of driver updating and installation on Nobara was seamless, it just has a setup tool that detects the card and downloads the drivers. The same was true for other peripherals, my razer keyboard and mouse were easy to setup, there was a tool for my XBOX controller.

    The recommendation to get AMD is reasonable for new builds, but it's also one of those little issues. I'm just not willing to give up my 4080 for a less capable piece of hardware. But again, I didn't have any real issues, even VRR and dual monitors worked fine. Ray tracing was working in Steam games, but I couldn't figure out how to get it running for my GOG games and whatnot. Like I said, it's so close to being ready for daily driving, but not my personal use case.

  • I spent a few months last year running Nobara. I'm back on Windows unfortunately. There are a ton of games that ran just fine, but there's also a lot of little issues. For example, in Grim Dawn I couldn't type in chat, in Pathfinder WotR I simply couldn't get mods to work, STALKER Anomaly simply wouldn't load. Then there was the big issue of my mouse cursor dropping below full screen games. Still there, but not visible. The only fix I could use was to restart the computer.

    It's tantalizingly close to ready, and if you don't care about modding it probably already is. For me it just didn't work out, yet.

  • Saudi arrests critics of Israel as normalisation talks continue

  • Sometimes even old enemies can be brought together by the discovery of what they have in common as opposed to what divides them. Violent atrocities against civilians for example.

    Nationwide, police make almost 2,000 arrests at college campuses since protests started

    Jump

  • I don't think the protests would be happening if the current administration wasn't providing significant assistance in the acts of genocide being perpetrated by Israel. I'm very glad I'm not American, faced with voting for an evil man who has deep connections to genocide to prevent an evil man who will accelerate the course of the country into fascism. I am however a little concerned that my country is on the same continent.

  • US Slams Strikes on Russia Oil Refineries as Risk to Oil Markets

  • Huh. Anyway.

  • Israeli airstrike on Iran consulate in Syria kills six reportedly including IRGC commander

    Jump

  • This is a little bit silly, that pretty clearly was a mistake, it also led to new ROE regarding the safety cordon around approved targets. Additionally Serbia was a combatant nation, that's why embassies often evacuate nations involved in hostilities. Israel routinely attacks 3rd country targets, they struck with multiple weapons. Syria and Iraq are not parties to the current situation in Gaza. The idea that countries with governments or general population that are not in favour of the IDF massacre of civilians means almost every country is "involved" according to Israeli targeting doctrine.

  • Germany set to add citizenship test questions about Jews and Israel

  • Germany: "Ok, so like, we definitely kinda did a bad right? But what if helped you guys do the same bad, are we back in bro-town?"

  • Netanyahu Cancels Washington Delegation Visit After U.S. Abstains From U.N. Cease-Fire Vote

  • Of course they will. This little spat with America over how difficult the genocide is for Biden's campaign hasn't slowed down the flow of material aid. They know they can do whatever they want, they've pushed as far as broadly declared and publicised genocide without significant consequences, really the only boundary they have left to test is nuking Tehran or something.

  • Gaza drone video shows killing of Palestinians in Israeli air attack | Al Jazeera Newsfeed

    Jump

  • This reminds me of the scene in Schindler's List where the Nazi officer takes a rifle out onto his balcony and amuses himself by shooting and killing some of the Jewish camp inmates. Once a group has it's humanity stripped away from it the darkest side of people will show in how they are treated.

  • Gaza war: UNRWA says Rafah aid centre hit by Israeli forces

    Jump

  • I believe there's a term that came out in the 1930s that describes the concept of removing population to make room for your ethno-state. Lebensraum.

  • Russia Destroys 3 Abrams Tanks, 3 HIMARS and 8 Bradleys in 10 Days: Moscow

    Jump

  • There's video of a destroyed patriot launcher as well. No point blaming the new command staff. The freeze on munitions by the republican party in the US has meant rationed fire by the UAF. Their casualties have climbed, and they have been steadily forced back. They are forced to push critical equipment forward to prevent the steady retreat from becoming a break in the line.

    Whether consciously or not the US Congress has given the Russian war effort a much needed boost. Artillery is the jab of the battlefield, once the ammunition runs out it's all eye gouging and knees to the groin. Losses are inevitable.

  • They didn't mistake them for Palestinian civilians and gun them down? Standout operation I suppose.
