Litube works pretty well for me. It’s a webview app with adblock, sponsorblock and other QoL stuff.

Fossify Launcher works well, that’s what I switched to.

War is peace. Censorship is free speech.

Lack of exposure would be my guess. People can pick up languages with adult brains too. English is my third language, but I use it every day to a degree that I find it hard not to think in english. Learned german for ten years, but as soon as I stopped using it english overtook it. Now I struggle to string a proper sentence together.

That’s not grass. Look at the texture or just the color of actual vegetation in the background.

Very private, much stable.

Just don’t end up like the mocap guy who kicked himself in the balls with the robot he controlled.

I admit, all distros are a different degree of footguns, I’m saying this as a nix user. lol

You used to be able to get a whole shelf of 12 for $700. I’d also guess the increased demand is partly thanks to the quadrupled RAM prices deterring new PC builders.

There have been videos of these from over a year ago, but back then the SW support wasn’t what it is now.

I think it’s good that more people get their hands on these neat devices, grows the community and offers an alternative to getting gouged.

What you described is what happaned with arch. The transitioning shouldn’t have happened this way, IMO.

Other distros usually don’t send their users to TTY after an update if they can help it.

On the long term, the situation is the same on linux and windows: you choose the latest driver and live with that given feature set and its bugs.

Rolling distros also only update when you tell them. It is the user who is pulling the trigger on the footgun in both cases.

I’d say the main difference is that arch users are more trigger-happy about being up to date.

Also, I think pacman should at least warn you if the problem is enough to warrant a post on the arch website.

It’s 2025, can we not display a warning message in pacman? Or letting it switch from nvidia-590 to nvidia-legacy?

I’m not an arch user, I admit, I don’t like footguns.

Even the internet held the promise of connecting people, and it was going that way until social media appeared; replacing real life connections.

AI doesn’t even connect you to anyone, not technically nor superficially.

Assimilation. It is a normal thing, it helps pronounce words with subsequent consonants easier.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assimilation_(phonology)

For example, I’d write “tudta” (hungarian: he knew) but pronounce it “tutta”.

I believe the same SW version is packaged. Nvidia said they’d drop support in the 580 release, but they shifted it to 590 now.

The arch issues are another layer of headache by the maintainers changing the package names and people breaking their systems on update when a non-compatible version is pulled replacing the one with still pascal support in it.

Are they supported longer on the windows driver?

Credit score = milkability score.

I follow the old-fashioned idea of buying things with money I have, debit instead of credit.

According to the Steam HW survey around 6% of users are still using Pascal (10xx) GPUs. That’s about 8.4 million GPUs losing proprietary driver support. What a waste.

GPU    %
1060    1.86
1050ti  1.43
1070    0.78
1050    0.67
1080    0.5
1080ti  0.38
1070ti  0.24

Fixed: 1050 was noted as 1050ti

Making them open to contributions was the first step, but ok I won’t engage in this petty tribalism.

The topic was about nvidia’s closed source drives.

Valve couldn’t do the same for pascal GPUs. Nobody but nvidia has the reclocking firmware, so even the reverse engineered nouveau NVK drivers are stuck at boot clock speeds.
