  • OT, but same context where I see slows in house price increases painted negatively in the media here

  • Advice regarding power efficient distros needed

    Jump

  • It's a good topic to raise, laptop battery life is definitely still a weak point on Linux. I'm not sure there's any distro specifically geared towards extending battery life, but maybe choosing one with a light desktop environment would help? I'm no expert myself but it also depends on the device you're using and it's platform.

    For example, one common power management tool tlp https://linrunner.de/tlp/index.html is not recommended by AMD or Framework for my FW13. There are steps you can take, like ensuring your browser is using the GPU/iGPU for videos/hardware acceleration is enabled and working, but Linux as a whole does not seem to have prioritised improving battery life. It's understandable to a degree, with it being dependent on so many factors

  • What is your opinion on ray/path tracing and real time upscaling (DLSS/FSR/XeSS) in video games?

    Jump

  • It has it's place but if a choice between that and raw raster within the same power envelope give me the latter every time

  • Assume you mean the 13, I've had mine for a few months and love it too. Also really dig the refinements they've done with the 12 like the pogo pins and even more easily replaceable display

  • Got to say, Marc Alaimo and Louise Fletcher (RIP) two of the best recurring guests Star Trek ever had... Both on the same damn show, both as villains no less

  • It was barely tolerable, then they gated proper noise cancellation behind some AI privacy destroying BS. Excellent choice, fu Microsoft

  • Is hockey a popular sport outside of North America?

    Jump

  • Oh man, and then some. Promising playoff run season before last only to pretty much get kicked to the curb last season

  • Looking for a few beta testers for my Lemmy Android Client

    Jump

  • All good, thanks for taking those features into consideration. I'm a mod on two communities but have only just been added to one, the other is very quiet i.e. I've not needed to do any modding

  • Assuming you mean ice and not field, it's not popular here in the UK with football (soccer) dominating but I've been to some local games, very fun to watch even though ofc the standard is pretty bad hah. One of the TV channels here used to show NA sports late at night so I got into NHL as a teen using my dad's VHS player to record parts of games. I was the weird kid at school who used to bring in NHL 2001 or ESPN NHL Hockey on Xbox

    Unfortunately I'm a Canucks fan lol, though I did catch Rangers-Blackhawks in 2015 at MSG when I visited NYC which was awesome!

  • Feelgood Friday... what's something nice you're going to do this weekend?

    Jump

  • Two day festivals, one today one tomorrow with a clubnight and hopefully some sleep between. Hectic one, but (rightly or wrongly) work hard, party hard is my motto o>

  • Only managed to see him with Madeon on the Shelter tour, not usually my thing but that track was so good and yeah the vibes were immaculate!

  • Looking for a few beta testers for my Lemmy Android Client

    Jump

  • That'd be great, thanks! The Reports page like the site would be as much as I'd want due to Lemmy's own limited feature set currently, with tabs for unread/all, all/comments/posts

  • My fave artist, Borusiade, is quite niche and arguably their style of music had it's peak in the electronic scene around 2017-21 so it'll be a long shot to see them now sadly.

  • Good blogs or youtubes for peripherals on Linux?

    Jump

  • Just co-signing this, not just for things like gamepads (understandably a focus) but even things like thunderbolt docks, eGPU enclosures and more.

    Those two are high up in my mind as I recently moved to a laptop based setup in my office but would love more graphical power when needed. As it is, I'm having issues with the mouse and keyboard attached to my WD19TB Dell dock only working occasionally. Getting into the detail of updating it with fwupdmgr now

  • What are you looking forward to?

  • Awesome, still never made it to Stonehenge yet. You'll have a blase! Annoyingly, I'm London for a few gigs next weekend or Saturday for the Solstice would be ideal
