Fantastic song and my favorite Pink Floyd album. Great album art too.

I run Sunshine on Arch-KDE-Wayland with a 4070Ti and stream at 1440 to another PC running the same thing. I haven’t checked frame rates in a while but it seems to be running fine for me.

Does the Thor run Linux with the standard Moonlight client? If you haven’t looked yet, double check Moonlight’s settings and make sure the frame rate, resolution, and other settings look ok.

If you’re streaming a Steam game, also make sure Steam doesn’t have it’s recording enabled. I think Valve enabled it by default some time ago and that tanked my frame rate at the time. There’s a “Game Recording” section in Steam’s settings where you can turn it off.

Sunshine also has logs in the Troubleshooting section on its web client. Maybe see if there’s anything fishy in there too.

Typical conservative MO. When things are going my way it’s all about how great I am and everyone else is useless. When things aren’t going my way, it’s all about how everyone is getting in the way and we all need to work together to achieve my goals.

Alberta separatism is even stupider. If they think getting a pipeline is hard now, imagine having to cross international borders. Even if they went south through the USA there will still be complications.

Good on Chrétien for calling this out publicly.

“Agentic Engineering”. No, it’s called vibe coding. AI bros are so desperate for legitimacy they make up fancy sounding titles for themselves.

But this isn’t engineering. Engineering takes rigor and discipline and process and understanding… A lot of it is extremely boring too. The code itself is probably the easiest (and I’d argue least important) part of software engineering. These guys are burning down forests to poorly automate the easy part.

I’m not saying that coding is easy in an absolute sense, but only relative to the rest of the discipline. A good engineer knows how to design/architect a system, understand tradeoffs, balance customer/user requirements with business needs, set up proper testing and releases, properly document everything, etc.

I hope this goes to court. The UCP needs to be taught a lesson.

Pretty much! Crazies like Smith being in favour of something is a pretty good indication that it’s probably awful.

Fucking disgusting. I really hope they get their asses handed to them in the next election. I’ve heard there are some rural communities that are dissatisfied with the UCP, but not sure if there are enough of them.

I don’t use Discord very much. Why do they have ID photos?

Yes. I’m sure there are many reasons why, but one I’ve been thinking about recently is the idea of ownership. When capital is the only idea of ownership, that’s a problem. Labour is just as, or more important, and people doing the work should have a say in things. We still need capital (ie. things) but just because you own a building doesn’t mean you should get to dictate everything that happens with a venture. Collective ownership of capital and labour seems a good system. I don’t necessarily mean that the government owns things, but rather groups of people owning the buildings, machines, etc. More of a cooperative structure. Just something to prevent a single person owning everything, dictating to the workers, and using the resulting capital + labour to buy and own even more things… Leading to what we are all living through now.

And the UCP can’t afford to pay teachers…

If only Alberta had a government that provided subsidies and tax cuts to oil companies to keep jobs in the province!

I can think of no higher praise for the DMA!

This guy! ☝ What a joker! 😂😂😂😂😂

It’s not lip service. The large platforms are now the official propaganda arm of fascism.

Ah yes, a fine example of small government free market.

This is so stupid! I made use of this a couple years ago to replace some windows and install solar panels. This resulted in more than a dozen people coming to my home over several months doing various bits of work. Presumably they were all getting paid.

This wasn’t free money and I do have to pay it all back. I would not have done the project otherwise. It made sense to me that at 0% I do get a slight discount taking inflation into account, but it was a good chunk of money injected into the economy now that was paid to Canadians. And, a bunch of that is going to make it back to the government in the form of income tax.

I don’t understand why they’d cancel the program other than the government caving to conservative morons who bitch about spending and don’t understand economics.

And that’s with some, frankly, terrible acting in the first season of B5!

Definitely check out The Orville. It took me a few episodes to realize that it is a comedy first, but after that the serious episodes felt strange to me 😅

I’ve just started season two and this is kind of how I feel too. It’s not a bad show, but a lot of it is just mediocre. The characters are especially bad since they all feel like bizarre caricatures of Star Trek memes and the attempt at comedy often feels out of place.

The Orville, for all it’s silliness, had much better writing and characters that actually felt genuine.

The show is entertaining enough for me to keep watching though.

As a Canadian I am going to say this as politely as I can: “Get fucked!”
