I have had great luck with a 6600XT myself, but your mileage may vary. There seems to be a fair amount of variance in terms of which AMD cards have solid footing in Linux and which games they work well with. I haven’t had any issues but I generally don’t play visually demanding games.

Also, if you ever want to roll out your own local LLM, you’re just going to have better performance with an Nvidia card, as ROCm just seems to not be quite up to snuff at speedy work.

That’s a fair take. I deleted it promptly after playing, but anyone who is willing to fund empress’s insanity is a fool anyway. Yet, sadly, a whole lot of fools out there.

A few things here:

1. I personally think that interacting with anything related to Harry Potter continues to give it cultural dominance and longevity, so even if you aren’t personally spending money to support the giant piece of shit that is JK Rowling, you’re helping it stay relevant enough to keep making that bigot of a bitch money.

2. It can also be argued that since Epic made a deal for giving the game away, that the money has already been paid to Rowling, whether you grab the game for free or not. The fewer people who grab the free copy, the less wise of an investment it will be seen as by Epic’s beancounters. This also ties back into the first point of the more people taking the free copy is giving Harry Potter more cultural dominance and longevity.

3. I pirated this game when it came out specifically I could play it and write about how bad it was in terms of gameplay, story, and game design. I don’t feel like re-writing a full on review here, but I’ll just say it: It’s a bad fucking game and the only reason people have given it as much attention as it has gotten is the association with Harry Potter. If this had been an original property with no connection to the HP series with similar gameplay and story it would have been a clusterfuck of a failure on release.

Anyway I’ll shut up now but fuck Harry Potter, the only thing Harry Potter related I’ll accept anymore is Wizard People, Dear Reader, because it’s a parody.

I would really hope the password for Wu Tang LAN is “isforthechildren”

I mean, fair take, but sometimes more thoughtful and forward-looking companies aren’t looking for fast return on investment.

It could be argued similarly for Valve that all their investment in Linux ecosystems and open source in general when Linux desktops account for just over 3% of all desktop installations while Windows sits comfortably at 70% of the desktop market, just isn’t a lucrative investment.

While in the long-term it frees Valve from the restrictions of the Microsoft environment and from the risk that Microsoft would make it more and more difficult for Steam to integrate as they try to make their own game store and Game Pass the premiere gaming experience on Windows, those are future risks that are speculation, even though they are rational speculation.

Investing so deeply in open source isn’t a lucrative thing for Valve to be doing, but they’re looking at long-term goals.

In other words, I could see the goal here being something like protecting the Bitwarden brand and making sure more people are using their official client than unofficial with the goal of making it easy to use and enticing people into the general Bitwarden ecosystem long-term. Ten years from now, people who have been running Bitwarden Lite might have a lot more options for integration and paid services than people simply using Vaultwarden.

Is that lucrative? No, but it’s still pursuing brand-name dominance and keeping people officially within their ecosystem as a way to grow userbase and give users more features (including paid ones) that may not be immediately available or easily integrated with Vaultwarden.

I’ve also seen “LAN of the Lost”

I still have a lot of love for 2.4GHz just because of how much farther the signal reaches than 5GHz. Mediocre only in the sense that it’s slower and that there’s too many avenues of potential interference (microwaves, other 2.4GHz devices clogging the spectrum).

Furries are a financial force to be reckoned with.

I don’t know, but I’m gonna take a wild guess and say some Nazis pissed some people off… As they do.

28 Decades Later?

I have literally heard a Jeep owner express such an attitude. Not specifically that the other family would die and theirs would not, but that theirs would be minimally damaged and the other would be crushed.

This was on a date. I obviously did not go on a second date with her. This was a big ass red flag.

What? Why is it blocked and for whom? I’ve had far fewer issues with it than I’ve had with the often slow-loading imgbb and the short time when imgbb went all-in on full-paid access before they changed their mind and went back to allowing a free tier.

This isn’t the first time Notepad++ was compromised. if I recall correctly, the first time was by a CIA backdoor.

WebUI has had exploits in the past, I wouldn’t use it unless I had to.

Have you seen the current version of SSH Pilot? Close enough perhaps?

Qbittorrent desperately needs an easy way to change font size for us blind motherfuckers.

I feel like famous people should have to just use their real names instead of having control over specific usernames.
