  • I mean, if we're approaching the time where normal people are expected to have sympathy for people voting against their own (and everyone else's) interests, I must make everyone aware that I have no sympathy left.

  • Only one generation knows how to fix tech...

  • Gen Z / alpha: "fix the computer? Do you mean the phone?"

  • Valve 'Fremont' APU breaks cover on Geekbench, most likely for a future console

    Jump

  • As someone still using Steam Controller on the daily, I'm most excited about Steam Controller 2. The original remains the best controller I have ever used.

  • Gavin Newsom surges in 2028 presidential primary poll

    Jump

  • Newsom is a corpo's idea of a progressive candidate. That is, he's not a progressive candidate.

  • (Solved) Can't avoid native Linux version from GOG with Heroic on Steam Deck

    Jump

  • I've definitely had issues with Linux versions + Wayland; however, most of the time they are easily cleared up by launching the Linux native version in gamescope, which plays nicer with window managers, too.

    That said, there really isn't anything wrong with running things in Proton. Sometimes you can get better performance in Proton with the Windows build versus running the game in Windows (due to various factors, including shader precaching). Compatability layer ≠ emulation, and it's important to distinguish the two, because "emulation" does and should sound slow. Proton is not emulation, strictly speaking.

  • RFK Jr.‘s Wi-Fi and 5G conspiracies appear to make it into MAHA report draft

  • I really think this is the point of it all. A lot of these folks in power are accelerationists.

  • Steam data reveals PC gamers shifting from Windows to Linux

    Jump

  • Linux only gamer for 3+ years now. It is a good time for the penguins.

  • Every now and again a voice comes into my head telling me to install Arch.

    Jump

  • Still running Pop on my desktop years later, exactly because of this. It's stable and I like it. The only thing I don't like is that it's Pop.

    And yet, all my laptops (which I don't really rely on) run Arch.

  • My latest hyperfixation

    Jump

  • I don't disagree about archiving. Though for a local collection, I think the space savings of AV1 are worth it.

    Especially for grainy footage, which is extra costly in h265. The noise analysis and synthesis in AV1 is killer, IMHO. But of course... it's not the same noise.

  • My latest hyperfixation

    Jump

  • Not only is everything smaller, but the codec looks better. Compression artifacts when AV1 is really pushing it at lower bitrates are more like... pointillism? They resemble grain instead of the fuzzy squares you can get with 264 or 265, and it is especially better in dark scenes.

  • I was informin u, not askin permission

    Jump

  • This. Businesses running leaner and leaner to comical levels so the C-suite can make more profit. It's not my problem if they're too shortsighted because of the dollar signs -- my vacation time is a necessary component of my employment agreement and my compensation.

  • Republican says state's GDP has plunged 6% due to trade war—'Troubled time'

    Jump

  • Gotta get rid of whoever is reporting the numbers. Use God-Emperor Trump's tried and true tactic: if you can't see it, it doesn't exist.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter!

  • The party of small government sure likes to put its meat gloves into corporate decisions lately

  • Gen Z men voted for Trump to drain 'the swamp.' After Epstein, they feel duped.

  • If only there had been a sign that it wasn't a good idea to put these clowns in office. Just one more sign, on top of the million-or-so that I thought were common knowledge.

  • Who is paying her legal team?

  • California greenlights $56.5M to amp up apartment EV chargers

    Jump

  • I've been saying for a long time that apartment dwelling is a huge detriment to EV adoption. If you can't charge it, you can't (and shouldn't) buy it.

    I'd love to help the environment too, but this is a good example of one problem blocking a partial solution to another.
