    Why I Use XLibre Instead of Wayland

    Jump

  • what's wild is that you'd post this in Linux gaming (rather than a generic Linux message board), where technologies like display independent VRR, scaling and HDR become increasingly relevant.

    Wayland is the standard today, in that

    • The xorg development team moved directly on to it
    • It's the default for major distros and desktop environments

    Arguing about this is an exercise in futility.

    If you're not trolling, I'm genuinely sorry that you're wasting time and effort down in this rabbit hole occupied by shitty pundits preying on young, impressionable minds, claiming they wish to 'strip the politics away from software' when they're busy doing the direct opposite of what they preach.

  • also mixed display scaling values and extended colour space support. Like there's no argument against today. There were breaking changes as first, sure. The software ecosystem has more or less caught up.

  • can you tell me which device this is with?

    edit: nvm i saw you posted it directly into the thread - gfx1103 = 780M iirc

  • Someone on the github issue thread has been asking for clinfo output on affected systems, theorising that client issues are caused by issues with vendor detection.

    This is a bit of an ask, but if it's quick to jump forward and back between ROCm releases on your setup, would you be able to pass your clinfo output from 7.2.0 into the ticket linked above? No worries if not

  • Good news, seems there's an existing internal ticket covering this defect. It's an application-side issue pertaining to libProResRAW.so.

    I believe we're shipping a workaround at the ROCm framework side in 7.2.1

  • Discord has enshitified, what do we do now?

    Jump

  • discord was always kind of shit; we definitely didn't need another blackbox in communications back in 2015.

    would love it if people moved away to something like stoat (can't wholeheartedly recommend element / matrix right now), unfortunately I don't see it happening at any large scale, and maybe that's not the end of the world.

    many of us made a similar move away from reddit to lemmy and other activitypub-powered aggregators back in 2023. it's small and niche but pretty lovely? we generally have pleasant experiences here.

    sort of apples to oranges but maybe the same can be true for people who want to move away from discord for ideological reasons.

  • I don't suspect it's davinci resolve. This is likely due to rocm-opencl.

    It's a long weekend, so I likely won't hear back from my colleagues until Tuesday at the earliest

  • Thank you for linking these. The second one suggests the following

    Update: Turns out that this is happening because the update of opencl-amd package, the newest ROCm 7.2 drivers appear to not be compatible with DaVinci, I installed rocm-opencl-runtime from the extra repo since it still on 7.1.1 and now its working again.. It also doesn't work with opencl-mesa, it crashes launching a project

    I'll dig through to see what can be done about it.

  • The Original GTA Is Playable On Modern PCs Again - But Not From Rockstar

    Jump

  • Oh shit, I'm sorry. I first played it back when it was called called geneshift with my colleagues. We were led to this after discovering that GTA2 had a PVP mode, and we just wanted to dick around at lunch time together.

    I hope you can get the original 2 working someday! Genuinely had no idea it was unplayable today :(

  • might as well? My 10 will be arriving soon and I'll be doing the same. Reverting to stock is also an easy enough process

  • I wasn't aware this wasn't playable (then again, the same applies to the first game), but you may be interested in checking out spiritual sort of reboots like skillshot city?

  • Firefox's AI Kill Switch Lands in Firefox Nightly, Slated for Firefox 148

    Jump

  • The graphene community in the past has pointed out Firefox's incomplete content sandboxing implementation and suggested that other aspects of security are not up to chromiums standard. They pointed out other technical shortcomings as well, though I can't recall them, I'm not sure how urgent they'd be.

    This was several years ago, and I'm not sure if any of this has been addressed, but I wouldn't like to rely on manifest v3 compliant ad blocking.

    I get the impression that Firefox may continue to lag in this regard, and I don't feel that people like us are made vulnerable by this, though I do worry about people like my parents.
