A friend in college was given a free CRT airport monitor. It was something close to 40" and weighed at least 500lbs. It took 4 of us to very angrily move it to his upstairs room.

Technology@lemmy.world•Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for LinuxEnglish
241·9 天前Not all software available on Linux is open source. NVIDIA drivers for example. Hell, most of the games on Steam are closed source.
So, is it just a matter of principle on Valve and AMD’s part that they only want to ship with fully open source drivers?
I’m not technically knowledgeable enough to understand why you can’t just make the HDMI 2.1 part of the driver code closed source and the rest of the graphics drivers open?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you buy real Christmas trees or put up artificial ones?English
1·10 天前Fake tree. Easier, safer, less messy. Yeah, it’s plastic, but it lasts as long as you want to keep using it. We just got a new one because we needed a skinny one for space reasons. But the old one we had for over a decade, and we sold it on to someone else.

Games@lemmy.world•Starbound Fans: New Dedicated Server Open to LemmyEnglish
12·23 天前I put 200hrs into that game many years ago. Had a good time for a while, but it was one of those games where eventually a switch clicked in my brain and I felt like I was wasting my life away playing it. So I just stopped.
The last time I got interested in it again, I saw that the devs had basically abandoned it, or were relying on modders to do all the work to maintain it or something along those lines. I am glad to see people are keeping it alive and making it something more.
You can thank Ghislaine Maxwell’s dad for that shit.

39·24 天前I’m far more bothered by them making Brave the built-in default browser, than I am by them charging for themes & tech support.

15·24 天前I by no means want to defend Microsoft. But I’m pretty sure that was said by an overzealous marketing person who didn’t understand correctly, and this was corrected by Microsoft soon after.
Or a stripper.
Yeah, I was pretty sure it’s a patent, copyright, or trademark thing.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Bobby Dunbar was kidnapped, and returned to his parents... decades later DNA testing proved he was a different childEnglish
2·28 天前As a parent with a 4yr old boy, that whole read was terrifying and nauseating.
Hyundai is abusing labor in its US factories. Not exactly a morally superior choice. Lateral move at best.

51·1 个月前And thankfully none of us will have to use that bullshit community.
Except that wheelchair looks like it would actually be fun to try. Unlike any AI chatbot I have heard of.
Yeah, I enjoyed that movie as a visual spectacle. But the acting and story were rough.

I remember it being janky as hell.







My computer at work runs windows. But I bought a cheap KVM switch and use my Linux laptop for all my personal web browsing and slacking off.
