It’s funny, people said the exact same thing about Windows 10. It had ads and spyware. It also had Cortana, the AI garbage of its time. Consumers will never learn. Can’t wait for Windows 12 to also be seen as the one where Microsoft has ruined Windows for real this time.

No romhacker or homebrew developer worth their salt will touch any of this. Using leaked material is legally significantly more dangerous than REing. I look forward to seeing the TCRF pages, though.

The official Homestuck site will still let the original SWF files load as long as you have something that can play them. Ruffle works fine. You can also use one of the few browsers that still supports PPAPI plugins (like Falkon) with the official Flash plugin.

But personally I’d say to just use The Unofficial Homestuck Collection, which is more pleasant to read through than the original ever was.

you don’t actually have to do that. for the most part you can just run everything in the same prefix. it’s what I usually do.

Hm? Wayland has VRR.

FIFO and commit timing are big for gaming. IIRC the lack of those protocols was a big reason why devs didn’t want to enable Wayland support for SDL3 at first.

I’ve seen Linux users scream over basic transparently implemented opt-in telemetry. Something like this would absolutely not go over well were it implemented in a popular distro.

Nah, Lemmy is not really representative of the wider Windows userbase. The willingness to switch away from Windows is definitely going to be far higher in those who were willing to switch away from Reddit.

What exactly does Valve stand to gain at all from funding a CUDA compatibility layer targetting mainly machine learning software? They’re a video game company. Arguably the most gaming-centric thing CUDA is used for was explicitly discarded in the blog post (“Raytracing is gone”).

Machine learning is massive now and there are many companies who could be interested in funding this kind of project. I’m pretty skeptical it’s possible to make any good guesses with what little info we have.

Japan also has heavily subsidized agriculture afaik.

History:

1. ZLUDA starts as a project to make CUDA work on Intel GPUs, with funding from Intel.
2. Intel pulls funding, author manages to get funding from AMD instead.
3. Development of a new version targetting AMD GPUs happens under closed doors with the informal agreement that the source code will be publicly released if AMD pulls funding.
4. After a couple of years, AMD pulls funding and the source code for the new version is released.
5. Development continues in the open for a few months, albeit at a slowed pace.
6. AMD goes back on their word, claims previous agreement wasn’t legally binding and asks that ZLUDA source code be taken down.
7. Author reverts codebase to its pre-AMD state, looks for new source of funding.
8. ZLUDA’s Third Life
9. Anything regarding NVIDIA involvement is pure speculation and should be treated as such.

I did look it up afterwards and found out it could also be Arizona, but still wasn’t sure. I figured porn sites would also be capable of mysteriously mistaking an Azerbaijani IP for a Texan IP. I also figured internationally obscure ISO 3166-2 subdivision codes were much less likely to come up than ISO 3166-1 country codes given that people are much less likely to know what they are, plus they are much more likely to overlap with each other and cause ambiguity. But it is very American to assume everyone else knows the US’s subdivision codes and Lemmy probably has far more Arizonans than Azerbaijanis, so I wasn’t completely sure either way.

What’s AZ? Azerbaijan?

Visit about:compat. Sites already do that. Firefox can deal.

Man, this guy does not give up. Respect, honestly. Hope for the best this time.

I downvoted it because conservatives constantly make this exact same “joke” about how poor people actually deserve to be poor because they pay for Netflix or clothes or anything that isn’t food or rent. It’s not funny when they do it and because I’m not a hypocrite I don’t find it funny when leftists do it either.

Normally I would have just downvoted and moved on with my day, but apparently that makes me a “coward that refuses to stand and be counted”. Because attacking people for downvoting a joke they didn’t like is apparently 100% okay with Lemmings and totally not toxic behavior. Does not liking literally all of the comedy that comes out of the left make me a ‘bad-faith both-sides “leftist”’? If so, guilty as charged. I do not see the left as a monolith and feel no shame in criticising or disagreeing with what other leftists say.

What operating system do you use? On Linux I use Amarok which is great, but afaik there’s no up-to-date versions of it for other operating systems. It should have everything you want dunno about some of these tho like the semicolon stuff. Strawberry is a similar player that works on other operating systems.

try disabling any krunner plugins you don’t need. that should make things faster.

Sketchup has always worked pretty well with Wine. It’s always just been installing a couple of things with winetricks (like vc runtimes) and then it usually works fine.

Uh, no. Not the majority. Not by a long shot.
