[unkempt lake]

I think 800 was like after tax and shit

It was 700something

Anyhow

It overclocked well

And was cool

Was a very wacky design tho

[marsh pewter]

“wacky” isn’t exactly the word I’d use

[unkempt lake]

I had a solid side panel anyways

I just cared that it oced well

[analog sinew]

thats atrocious

[sharp badger]

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asus-gtx-980-ti-strix-gaming/3.html I had this one

[analog sinew]

looks alright

[unkempt lake]

it could run at 435w tho

it was like

Big fancy unlocked oc card

Even if it was ugly as fuck

[analog sinew]

435W

tf

[marsh pewter]

I don’t think it’s worth the shame of having such a horrible looking card

[unkempt lake]

Was like zotac's attempt to take on the kingpin cards

[vagrant pagoda]

zotac has had high end cards for a while

only asus and galax have made gpus to kp level though

[unkempt lake]

hence why i said attempt

[vagrant pagoda]

its not even an attempt

its not in the same price bracket

[unkempt lake]

Well i couldn't afford the kingpin card at 17 lol

This was the best i could buy

[vagrant pagoda]

though idk when the last time someone other than asus/evga has held the top spot

4090 galax was big

but 2000 and 3000 it was all asus evga

[unkempt lake]

Which btw that card was an awful financial decision because i got kicked out of my parents place that same year and was like fuck i coulda used that money

long story

[vagrant pagoda]

also id kill for galax in us

the 4090 hof is insane

[sharp badger]

So it was too many plushies

[unkempt lake]

Galax makes pretty cards

[sharp badger]

4090 Hof is very nice

[vagrant pagoda]

though slave and deadzone got amazingly binned matrix's

[sharp badger]

https://www.galax.com/en/graphics-card/hof/geforce-rtx-4090-hof.html With the dual gen 5 16-pin lol

[vagrant pagoda]

not needed

matrix keeps up with single

[sharp badger]

Yeah

[unkempt lake]

https://youtu.be/r3jTxroBNTQ?si=cUg91XY6uYQETVM2

Someday i'll abduct his cat

[vagrant pagoda]

the binning is king

[unkempt lake]

SOMEDAY

all the cats will be mine

[vagrant pagoda]

and asus dose very very well at that for thier peeps

oh damn colorful has the portroyal

[bright briar]

@unkempt lake give me your 7900 xtx

[unkempt lake]

why

[bright briar]

why not

[sharp badger]

Yeah the Matrix & Colorful is nice too

[vagrant pagoda]

i just love that allen stays independent

[bright briar]

4k cad

[jagged turtle]

My keyboard isn't working and I can't login to wootility idk wt I should do pls anyone help me

[bright briar]

you want fake ai frames frogo?

[vagrant pagoda]

just like Roman

like i dont think less of team oc peeps

but staying independtent is hard

[bright briar]

you right my 3080 keeps me warm in the winter time when i run marvel rivals or dead space remastered

[jagged turtle]

Ok then

[bright briar]

i love the finals

[unkempt lake]

Australian "winter"

[bright briar]

but i need a team to play that game, solo queue is cancer

i love the destruction in that game

you a pro gamur

[unkempt lake]

Battlefield 4 was better

[bright briar]

go away snek dashi :p

or when the atm machines are blasting in my ear when im trying to listen to foot steps

bf 2042 better.... i joke that shit was horrible

[marsh pewter]

I wish it was more popular

[bright briar]

do you though?

[marsh pewter]

it does have a very dedicated player base but I feel like it’s so sweaty because of that

[bright briar]

any game that becomes super popular thats free to play ends up being cancer

look at marvel rivals

i honestly prefer playing games that big streamers dont play

thats when i have the most fun imo

[marsh pewter]

tbf I haven’t played since a bit after launch so i’m not sure what the game is like now

[fair gull]

so it seems firefox is already going back on a few things including not having the acceptable use bs anymore
https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/update-on-terms-of-use/

sad they havent fully gone back on the licensing shit yet

[marsh pewter]

firefox fork users stay winning

(zen browser my beloved)

[ashen spindle]

and thats why theres no point looking for other browsers because as it turns out

[balmy vector]

Nothing time

[marsh pewter]

nothing ever happens

[fair gull]

if only firefox was good

[marsh pewter]

if only any browser was good

firefox is perfectly mid like all the other browsers

perfect is the enemy of adequate

[analog sinew]

classic boundary pushing

theyll do it again

[unkempt lake]

I'd argue its the least shit of them

[marsh pewter]

base firefox? no not really.

[unkempt lake]

Firefox with ublock

[marsh pewter]

mozilla is not much better than google, same goes with their browsers

I'd say generally the many firefox forks are better than other browsers out there

[balmy vector]

I’m better than all of them, mango browser best browser

[frozen ingot]

its worse out of a user experience point of view

I've tried ditching chromium for firefox but its just worse

[marsh pewter]

moumiumfox best browser

[fair gull]

i wish firefox was on the same level as chromium based browsers

[ashen spindle]

ublock still works in chrome and people only test websites to work on chrome so no point for me to try something else

[unkempt lake]

Moumoutheme when

[fair gull]

because chrome can do everything firefox can just that firefox sucks at doing the things it "supports"

[rare jewel]

when i saw this i was kinda excited but then i saw pricing and specs and i cringed what are they doin https://cherryxtrfy.com/keyboards/mx-8-3-tkl-wireless

[marsh pewter]

honestly I'd say the firefox vs chromium debate comes down to whichever you like more for the most part

[fair gull]

i wish

i sadly need some PWAs and prefer using some websites for USB device stuff (not just wootility) which firefox just could never do and prob never will

[leaden kiln]

yeah same

[marsh pewter]

celeste (@vmfunc) on X

linux got too mainstream can someone please make a new kernel now

X · Mar 1, 2025, 2:17 AM

[crimson wigeon]

Oh no.. Hyprland too

[halcyon moss]

I'm using arch btw

Rog zypherus

It how ever you spell that.. What a weird brand name

[crimson wigeon]

Although I guess I shouldn't be too hating on it, sicne I too just had to have Compiz when I saw it back in 2006

[digital cliff]

i like hyprland

[unkempt lake]

Outlook is down... fun!

[digital cliff]

sucks to be using outlook

[unkempt lake]

i like my old hotmail xD

Well more like I can't be assed to move on to something else

[digital cliff]

yeah I know you like hot males

[unkempt lake]

O W O

I really wonder how long zen2/intel9th gen will last

They've been holding up well despite their age

Also wondering how long until we see a PS6

[balmy vector]

I’ll keep my 9900k til it dies in my server

[unkempt lake]

Because cpu wise generally it's consoles who dictate the minimum and they currently run on underclocked 3700

[unkempt lake]

Always a good use for older hardware

[balmy vector]

Mhm phantom spirit on it to keep it chilly

[marsh pewter]

im currently using hyprland btw

[digital cliff]

me too btw

[unkempt lake]

@balmy vector what did you do with your uh 12600k (or 13600k)

You had one or the other can't remember

[balmy vector]

Im planning to make a build with it for my bf

[unkempt lake]

That's cute

Did he already have a pc or are you trying to introduce him to pc gaming

[balmy vector]

Introducing

But its also mainly for them to get something more intricate for their art stuff

Since they have only worked on their phone and now tablet for drawing

[unkempt lake]

I got nico a drawing tablet as a gift a few months ago its a really good budget one

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B07VKB37HZ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

its a really nice budget option that doesn't really miss anythi by feature wise

@balmy vector

[balmy vector]

Maybe for their birthday

[unkempt lake]

Thought i'd share haha

It's not too pricey so it makes for a great gift

[balmy vector]

Since they’re using a tablet for their bigger res stuff lol so its pen kinda sucks ass

[unkempt lake]

it's probably cheaper on amazon us xD

I sent you a canada link

[balmy vector]

And itll work for then the pc gets built

Ye ill be able to get it for us

[unkempt lake]

It's like super good for the price it's way better than it should xD

And the software is pretty good and customizable

[balmy vector]

Ye I’ll probably get it they’re having frustrations with the stock pen their tablet has

Like i saw that thing absolutely not working

[unkempt lake]

Also works on android so like idk if he has an android tablet

But could be good

Only ever tested it on windows tho but it comes with an OTG adapter for android

[balmy vector]

Ye its android so itll work just fine

[unkempt lake]

i smart i give good gift ideas

[digital cliff]

get em a wacom pen display

[unkempt lake]

shit's expensive

And budget wacom no workies on android

And is way smaller

Than the xp-pen

[sharp badger]

Ain't that pricey

[leaden kiln]

tablet talk 😤

[sharp badger]

Even the pen on the S9+ tablet is ok not perhaps as good as a Wacom tablet but still

[leaden kiln]

I got a pink jp exclusive wacom even though I don't draw and don't play osu anymore

it looks really nice though

[unkempt lake]

The one i posted is like... half the price

Actually

[sharp badger]

Yes

[unkempt lake]

Less than half 39 euros vs 119 euros

[leaden kiln]

one third

[unkempt lake]

And it is a damn good alternative

[sharp badger]

Quickly checked at Amazon for me

[leaden kiln]

yeah I know a few artists that like xppen, I haven't liked mine but I've mostly played osu

a lot of artists get sponsored by them lol

[unkempt lake]

And i know artists who like em too lol

[sharp badger]

Yep it's all up to personal experience

[leaden kiln]

I like sevenpens website for tablet recommendations for drawing

[unkempt lake]

In this case it's for art purposes from what mango said so

[leaden kiln]

https://docs.thesevenpens.com/drawtab/recommendations/pen-tablet-recommendations/medium-pen-tablet-recommendations

good resource and very thorough

[sharp badger]

The XP-pen do have something nice with those buttons on the tablet compared to the Wacom

Also Mega have you tried the Pico 4 Ultra headset?

[leaden kiln]

I haven't tried any wireless headsets, only 3 native steamvr headsets that I've owned

I know someone who has a pico and likes it

not seen the ultra

[sharp badger]

I see, was kinda interested in getting one

Would also like to get a 3D printer

[leaden kiln]

yeah wacom has removed them on their recent cheap tablets I think, maybe to upsell ig
my tablet has 4 but I've never used them even for art, I like to keep my hand on my kb anyway

I bought my printer mostly for my vr headset lol, to do small mods and useful parts

[sharp badger]

Lol ok, what printer do you have?

[leaden kiln]

I have an a1 mini, bambu might not be to recommend after recent changes though

[sharp badger]

Ok was looking at some newer Elegoo specifically the Neptune 4 Max

[digital cliff]

no get the centauri carbon when it releases in summer

[sharp badger]

Hmm? have to look into that 🧑‍💻

[digital cliff]

like it's kinda trolling not getting the bambu a1 right now

and if you're not getting anything right now, get the new thing that's gonna release and beat the bambu, pretty much

[sharp badger]

Will probably just wait with the 3D printer and do more research about what i'd really want

[digital cliff]

there's a generation shift happening right now, starting with the ender3v3 into the bambu a1, 300-400€ printers have gotten mega insane

and the new elegoo competitor, centauri carbon, is poised to join the new generation of printers in the summer when it releases

[leaden kiln]

they made me go insane

[sharp badger]

Reading about the Bambu lab controversy now though

[leaden kiln]

yeah it kinda sucks but I still feel like my printer is pretty nice for 200 euros, and I don't think it'll impact my usage much

[digital cliff]

yeah if you don't mind the social outrage you can just set it to offline mode or however they call it and be happy

[sharp badger]

Yep

[unkempt lake]

https://youtu.be/J7h7hO8IrBI?si=JUSARueVr7jloZ7v

I like the magnetic xtx fans

[pale sigil]

I want it so much

[unkempt lake]

At 3:28

[digital cliff]

https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/18xhvdg/bambu_lab_a1_vs_elegoo_neptune_4_pro/ maybe you can take a look at few of the comments here for example@sharp badger

I mean it's the bambu sub but there's a few people in the comments that have both

[digital cliff]

buy it

and then gib me the 3v3

[reef patrol]

Can confirm. My A1 has never been "online"

Larger models however... definitely read up

[balmy vector]

Hey mansen, is your vr avatar also duck

[reef patrol]

🤔

[balmy vector]

We could make a vr duck army

[balmy vector]

https://tenor.com/view/duck-badling-duck-walk-quack-quack-duck-take-over-gif-14583973

[wheat plume]

Did Bambu revert their plan to make other software no longer work with their printers?

[reef patrol]

...ish

[wheat plume]

O... :/

[reef patrol]

They kind of went on the defensive and claimed all the bad shit they just said they did, was definitely not something they had said. And that all evidence of any expiring certificates was definitely not a timebomb etc...

But for now? Possible to offline iirc.

[wheat plume]

Wtf

[primal nymph]

My 2080 ti says help me

[astral haven]

Gore warning smh, this isn't instagram...

[vagrant pagoda]

i hate that the aio addon died out

guess coolers are too hard to remove these days

[reef patrol]

Oh god. The NZXT AIO GPU thing 😄

I remember that

[steady sail]

time to say goodbye for that gpu

[vagrant pagoda]

why

its in its natural habitat

[steady sail]

interesting GPU holder

[vapid ruin]

https://www.sesame.com/research/crossing_the_uncanny_valley_of_voice#demo

This is cool, you can host this locally if you have 16gb of vram

[vagrant pagoda]

live ammo that close to a 12vhwr? brave

[reef patrol]

only 16GB of VRAM?

[vapid ruin]

I mean, it's the lowest I'm willing to go without scarificing much quality. If anything, you need 32gb of vram for full precision.

[vagrant pagoda]

16 is small for ai stuff

[reef patrol]

Someone should tell Nvidia that, since they seem hellbent on making all of their consumer cards AI powered 😄

[marsh pewter]

but muh framegen

[astral haven]

Gen ai not uscaling ai
Upscaling AI is smol

[reef patrol]

[lyric hatch]

AMD is also adding all that stuff they're just a few generations behind

[vagrant pagoda]

they make pro stuff for ai XD

[pale sigil]

What the actual fuck

That's just bizarre

I just had a convo about my dog

[vapid ruin]

Now it just needs to be bigger and have an anime voice

[pale sigil]

The female one is bad though

[wheat plume]

Wtf is dracut....research time

[vagrant pagoda]

it makes initramfs

[wheat plume]

I've seen that word many times but idk what it means

[vagrant pagoda]

its the mini os that mounts root file system

its the base kernel, plus the stuff needed to load the rootfs

[wheat plume]

Oooohhhhhh

[vagrant pagoda]

dracut generates it with the bare minium modules to get to rootfs

your bootloader loads the initramfs into ram and starts kernel execution

[wheat plume]

Is that way in the comment actually s good way to upgrade a Fedora install????
Cause using the GUI has been flawless for me so far

[vagrant pagoda]

other oses use a generic initramfs that has common driver modules.

this is more user friendly, but takes more ram

debian and most of its children use generic

[wheat plume]

Hmmm

[vagrant pagoda]

redhat and suse use dracut

[primal nymph]

Done

Small bend but I don’t really care

If it works it works

[unkempt lake]

Why did you even do this

It's really a meh watercooling kit

[soft elk]

my w key on wooting randomely stopped working

[reef patrol]

Rip ooting

[bright briar]

have you tried to turn the w key upside down to a M?

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-wumbo-reverse-crotch-gif-26491503

[soft elk]

no

not helpful

[bright briar]

how is it not helpful if you havent tried it yet?

[soft elk]

still not helpful

[bright briar]

make a post in #1019755933959733258 someone will help you

i will pray for your ooting

[soft elk]

i presss w key and it like holds it without m #e pressing and when i ress a diff key it stops and the w key stops working too

[bright briar]

@unkempt lake why benchmark lie to me....

[unkempt lake]

because its a lie

[bright briar]

i know but it still hurts

[unkempt lake]

is crapcom

[soft elk]

my roller binds arent working in wootility

fixed my w problem

[wind parrot]

qd oled is niceeeee

but the text fringing is a bit ehhhh

really noticeable for me

mostly the purple on the bottom

[unkempt lake]

this is why i have mini led

Also i work with that thing all day so uh static elements

[rough osprey]

have u tried mactype

[wind parrot]

trying it rn

[unkempt lake]

https://youtu.be/NgLW-E22vOM?si=vSCWfg-16TEe6YCt

[wind parrot]

doesnt do anything really

sad face

[bright briar]

stfu

aint no way

might have to get motorcycle now

how you always find this stuff dashi

[rough osprey]

did u disable cleartype and use deepgraynohinting

[unkempt lake]

Yes

[bright briar]

i would prefer this though

[wind parrot]

yep

exactly what i did

[rough osprey]

then something is buggy

really shouldn't look like that xd

[wind parrot]

this is whats applied rn, deepgraynohinting

this is how i should have the application right ?

[wind parrot]

or do i use a different setting @rough osprey

[unkempt lake]

You were saying?

[bright briar]

how much? give me now

https://tenor.com/view/credit-card-smacking-credit-card-on-table-gif-21340324

[unkempt lake]

Prototypes

[bright briar]

let me test it out

its okay

[unkempt lake]

No me

[bright briar]

[rough osprey]

and its also on enabled in the tray icon menu?

[unkempt lake]

I want a motorcycle but @glass stag is a poopyhead

[wind parrot]

yep

[rough osprey]

did u try restarting pc

[wind parrot]

ill give it a go

[rough osprey]

like i basically have no fringing at all on the oleds i tried it on

[bright briar]

i will distract nico by stealing mou mou then you can get your bike

[vagrant pagoda]

Stealing moumou will likely start a war fam

[unkempt lake]

It's not stealing if it's sanctionned temporary kidnapping

[wind parrot]

still looks like poop

[rough osprey]

weirdd

[long laurel]

does anyone kno y when i disconnect my keyboard den reconnect it it starts bugging out\

and some keys dont work or keep typing after i let go

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean isn't all kidnapping temporary?

If it wasn't it would just be adoption

[rough osprey]

idk then

[wind parrot]

it doesnt even change anything in discord or file explorer etc

enabling and disabling it in the tray

[rough osprey]

so you dont see any difference anywhere

[wind parrot]

nope

[rough osprey]

time to google :D

[wind parrot]

been googling but not a lot of results

for it just straight up not applying the changes

[glass stag]

Stockholm syndrome is just adoption without paperwork

[wind parrot]

ill stick with it for a few more days and see how i feel then

if i still dont like it well its getting returned

i wish i didnt notice it as much as i do

[pale sigil]

@wind parrot hi Callum

Im also Callum

[balmy vector]

No you’re pleasant

[analog sinew]

no youre mango

[balmy vector]

No I’m separatedmango

The world may never know

[analog sinew]

i wonder when 9070 benchmarks hit

gotta be soon?

isnt release march 6?

well i have the xtx now anyway so not much im gonna do i just found it odd

[balmy vector]

So probably a day before the 6th

Maybe

[halcyon moss]

Iirc I heard friday

[ashen spindle]

Reviews 5th release 6th

[vapid ruin]

Can't wait for 9070xt benchmark

especially the AI benchmark

since I gotta wonder how amd makes the gpu do AI on windows.

some chance it could just be ollama with rocm fork.

o, I didn't know that, I just know it as one of popular backend.

[cursive summit]

I don't think AMD oversold the GPU, but man if it's actually on par at least in most scenarios to a 5070Ti, that's really a treat

You are basically selling the 1000$ XTX from last gen for 599, that's seriously nice and what most people want when it comes to generational improvements

[wheat plume]

Use Brave, they said....
It's not bloated and protects privacy, they said

IT HAS AI 🤢

[cursive summit]

Okay, remove that feature from your toolbar and you'll literally not know it exists

[wheat plume]

it still collects data, I assume???

[cursive summit]

How?

[wheat plume]

Brave browser collecting it regardless to train the AI on?

[cursive summit]

You got any evidence on that happening?

[wheat plume]

Brave UI is so clunky ;-;

I like Firefox cause you can theme it anyway you want with CSS

[cursive summit]

I thought you hate firefox cause new rules bad

[wheat plume]

yeah.... I wanna find a browser to switch to that doesnt have a shit UI

[cursive summit]

Vivaldiii

[wheat plume]

Brave, Vivaldi and Opera are out cause they are super clunky

[cursive summit]

Vivaldi also has an AI chatbot tbf

[wheat plume]

I may try Librewolf

[nimble arch]

Safari

[ashen spindle]

why not stick with firefox

[wheat plume]

They collect all data you enter in the browser now

all forms you fill out, all login details, any PDF you open, etc

[ashen spindle]

^

[cursive summit]

Who doesn't collect your data nowadays...

[cursive summit]

Who

[ashen spindle]

yeah by the time you find another browser that works they are back to the usual

and if not it will be the same as any other browser

so you're just spending time finding something that will do the same at best

[lyric hatch]

i just stick with brave now

[cursive summit]

I refuse to move off of Firefox

[wheat plume]

I dont wanna ;-;

[wild coyote]

Tbh I use Vivaldi. It's pretty alright and the only thing that it relies on is sponsored stuff that's automatically in your bookmarks

also donations

[wheat plume]

but I dont trust Mozilla now after this

[cursive summit]

Not sure how you can trust chromium in general either

[wheat plume]

I dont

[cursive summit]

https://alternativeto.net/news/2024/7/chromium-browsers-found-sending-user-data-to-google-raising-privacy-and-regulatory-concerns/

[wheat plume]

Which is why I moved to Firefox originally

[cursive summit]

Still better than chromium

[lyric hatch]

well either way you're stuck with a fork of chrome or a fork of firefox pick your poison

[wild coyote]

Tbh, Vivaldi's privacy on third party data collection is not bad, it depend on the user itself lul

Ofc it uses certain features from Chrome/Google, but you can turn it off

[cursive summit]

@wheat plumemaybe you should just use Midori

[lyric hatch]

they both have reasons to like and dislike them and both of them rely on google to stay alive

[wild coyote]

Lol truee

Time to remove certain stuff from google ig

[wheat plume]

nah ill swap to Gnome Web.... if I can get the GTK theme working again :/ its broken on every non-LibAdwaita app I have ://

[cursive summit]

You're on Linux right?

Support your local developers https://linuxreviews.org/Midori

[wheat plume]

last time I tried Midori, it failed to properly render most sites I went to

[cursive summit]

What year was that

[wheat plume]

about 2019

[cursive summit]

It completely got revamped in 2021

If you showed me that browser, I'd just think it's a type of chromium

And it's not, apparently

[wheat plume]

I need to fix my GTK :/

even gnome text editor is not using the right theme

[cursive summit]

Oo nice, someone actually doing investigative work

Watch Lana virtually ignore you and talk about something else

[ashen spindle]

or end up switching to some browser that collects more than firefox but just isnt as upfront about it

[magic minnow]

Hell Yeah

Battery life while browsing: 10 hours

It's illegal for Android to have good battery life

[wheat plume]

:/ idk how to fix the theme

[cursive summit]

As expected, ignores frog

[wheat plume]

I read the messages

[chrome prawn]

Lmao

[wheat plume]

I actually did turn off the setting they suggested

hence the emote I reacted to it with, that you clearly didnt see

[chrome prawn]

Anyone know hwo to takie out the magnets from the switch stems? I dissasembling lekker v1 switches Ill never use

[cursive summit]

Was that the one you must have added like 30 secs ago cause my browser jumped

[wheat plume]

I reacted a bit before I sent the message

[chrome prawn]

Ye, but i want to yoink the m out of the plastic piece

[cursive summit]

Does epoxy melt under some acetone?

[chrome prawn]

I have a alcohol bath for resin printing, so might not hurt to try tbh

[wind parrot]

hi

[cursive summit]

Is it a binding agent where it kinda fuses itself with what it touches or is it like glue where if you give it enough shove it'll just pop off?

I've never worked with epoxy so I've got no clue

Some types of glue are so fragile they just come off with some prying

[chrome prawn]

Isnt epoxy a general term of for a big group of substances? Or am I missremebering?

[cursive summit]

Wee so the nasty stuff

Yeah those are very annoying to get rid of

[wheat plume]

how fix? I cant find shit online ;-;

only libAdwaita uses the right theme like Files and Settings

[cursive summit]

Linux problems

[chrome prawn]

Why is the margins between text and lines so tight?

[wheat plume]

cause its not using any theme

just bare widgets :/

idk how to fix this

its literally like a website without CSS rn

possibly but idk how

[chrome prawn]

So this is raw gnome with no theme config?

[wheat plume]

yeh xd

yes basically

no shadow or window borders either

[chrome prawn]

so all themes i see is just css files in the end?

[wheat plume]

and some assets too

[unkempt lake]

Whats up moumougang

[wheat plume]

you know linux, right? help fix theme ;-;

I asked on reddit like 3 weeks ago and I got 0 comments .-.

which is funny cause Reddit usually loves to argue about how to do shit

[wheat plume]

[ashen spindle]

ask any LLM

In gnome your apps and system uses a gtk4 theme, some apps however did not migrate and are still gtk3, what you need to do is find a way to set a separate theme for gtk3 apps

[unkempt lake]

the protogen left general :o

[modern sky]

I'm lurking here often wdym

[unkempt lake]

Lurking yes talking no

[modern sky]

Nah I have a lot of messages here that's prob a timezone diff

I need to go back to not sleeping

I'm missing EVERYTHING

I mean i still don't sleep but

I try sleeping

People switching to GNOME Web cause of the Firefox situation

[nimble arch]

The Firefox situation is CRAZY!

Is GNOME Web really the answer though?

[unkempt lake]

It is deep, discord is needed so i can post moumous

[ashen spindle]

that doesnt say someones switching to gnome web that just means tehy want gnome web to be viable

[wheat plume]

its viable for most sites except media players like youtube and netflix

[unkempt lake]

Yes

[modern sky]

Nah the anwswer is to use a fork of Firefox or ungoogled chromium

[leaden kiln]

shocking

[modern sky]

It's not that deep

[nimble arch]

That's a YouTube video title if anybody wants to make it

[unkempt lake]

Agreed

The notion of privacy on the internet is kind of a meme

[modern sky]

@wheat plume another tip that I can give you is try using GMOME tweaks tool

[unkempt lake]

Something will ALWAYS fuck you over

[pale sigil]

Why are you awake

[unkempt lake]

i just woke up

[pale sigil]

You can minimise what they take

I don't see the issue

Using stuff like brave helps with little effort

[wheat plume]

I have and its not doing anything

[unkempt lake]

well

moumou woke me up actually

[modern sky]

As I explained there are more themes than just GTK you need to dig around

[unkempt lake]

She maowed 2 inches from my face, she needed a hug

[pale sigil]

Lana has done nothing but dig around

[wheat plume]

I tried a few commands too that didnt work either :/

yes

[pale sigil]

So back to sleep?

[nimble arch]

Does GNOME support HDR yet?

[unkempt lake]

True but acting like shit is the end of the world and throwing hissyfits is not gonna change shit and someday some other aop will sell your shit

[leaden kiln]

nwg-look fixed all my theming problems but I wasn't using gnome then, I was using sway, there's still a bit too many ways you need to set your themes

[unkempt lake]

Mayve

[wheat plume]

not really yet, but you can get it to work in GameScope, that compositor Valve make for SteamOS

[nimble arch]

I believe KDE has decent HDR support at this point

[leaden kiln]

average wayland enjoyer

[pale sigil]

Kde is ass though

Well

For Nvidia

[wheat plume]

you can use GameScope in Gnome

[pale sigil]

But it's buggy even on AMD

[leaden kiln]

plasma is good i dont love using it myself though

[wheat plume]

thats LEGIT why VRR is not merged yet .-. Cause they cant figure out how to design it in the UI

they could do what Bazzite did...

VRR works mostly good now

If you use the volume keys or brightness, it takes you out of VRR mode with 2 seconds of black screen

so everytime I change volume my screen fades to black for 2 seconds when the OSD shows up and then 2 more when it goes away

cant they tell the VRR config to ignore OSD?!

[crimson wigeon]

It is so simple, well, depending on how the compositor works

[modern sky]

I agree

Especially when you use more than 1 panel

[pale sigil]

I love but hate Linux

But gnome just works

[wheat plume]

Gnome jsut works if you dont mess with trying to theme it like I did

thats how this problem happened .-.

[modern sky]

I love KDE as a DE but plasma is buggy

[wheat plume]

^ and games feel stuttery too

even though I get above 60FPS

its kde

Ive used KDE on my desktop and Steam Deck and its stuttery in both

looking around in 3D games doesnt feel smooth like on Gnome

[modern sky]

at the end of the day

all of them work

[quick gust]

does anyone know any good purple keycaps?

[unkempt lake]

If you want some good ones that arent too expensive

https://drop.com/buy/drop-skylight-series-purple-keycap-set

[quick gust]

my budget is around 20$ - 60$

[unkempt lake]

There you go

On a massive sale too

I have a set and they look nice and for the price are worth it :)

[quick gust]

thank you so much 😄

[unkempt lake]

Np

[leaden kiln]

drop has a transluscent set that I've been eyeing for a bit, to match my miku setup, on a sale rn so I might cop that

[wheat plume]

AAAAAAAAAA ;-; even this command didnt fix it

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Adwaita' && gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'default'

[cursive summit]

And the crowd goes silent, cause nobody knows what's going on

What are you even trying to do

[wheat plume]

Fix my damn theme

[cursive summit]

Fix how

How's it broken

[wheat plume]

on gnome desktop, like I posted above

[wheat plume]

this

[cursive summit]

Fix... what?

That looks fine?

[wheat plume]

the lack of theme

[cursive summit]

That it's white and not black?

[wheat plume]

this is very broken, there is no theme

[cursive summit]

Okay.. is that really a big issue?

[wheat plume]

yes

[magic minnow]

Bro if this is how the one plus 13 mini is gonna look I’ll just get the regular one

[cursive summit]

Would gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Adw-gtk3-dark' work?

[wheat plume]

apparently not

[cursive summit]

I know nothing about Linux, I'm just looking at what ChatGPT says can work

But Linux is better than Windows.. apparently..

[wheat plume]

nah this issue is my own fault

I tried to theme shit and it broke it

[cursive summit]

Try asking AI, idk

o3-mini goes in depth, no clue if any of that is useful

[wheat plume]

FIXED IT

[cursive summit]

So, what did you do to fix it?

[wheat plume]

flatpak override --reset && sudo flatpak override --reset

and also sudo flatpak override --unset-env=GTK_THEME

Firefox GNOME theme is amazing

Fastfetch can detect the Steam Deck controller now :D very neat

it used to say I was using an Xbox Controller until recently

Since when was GNOME's default accent color purple?! though it was blue like every other software ever made?

mactype did nothing to help

doesnt work with any program either

[wind parrot]

[ashen spindle]

ah rip

I dont really notice it

[wind parrot]

yeah

for me it is really noticeable

especially the purple below the text

which is sad becuase everything else about the monitor is amazing

well my 9800x3d arrived

time to build

[halcyon moss]

Clear type usually is real. Good

[crimson wigeon]

Just be a cool gamer and turn off all text antialiasing

[digital cliff]

windows text rendering

[ashen spindle]

it is really good but its expects a certain pixel layout which many oleds current dont have so the subpixel rendering is off

[cursive summit]

Some chad collected all 9070XT stats that are available at launch https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18eQRucHX41A-O4OsoV96Qw2gFw1Qs2N7f6qQQs3kXx4/edit?gid=0#gid=0

[ashen spindle]

which then results in colored edges that some people notice a lot and some not at all

[cursive summit]

Damn the Nitro+ really looks the best

360mm card length though is kinda nuts, the biggest 7900XTX I saw was 340

Tbf why are they so insanely long, evidently Gigabyte has a 288mm card, why'd they make it 360mm

The Nitro+ is 3.3 slots, kinda thick but with 331mm length prolly just small enough to fit into most good ITX cases

[gusty nexus]

which one is 360mm ?

[cursive summit]

They long as hell

XFX had always been really long tbf

2.45slot on that Hellhound though

[gusty nexus]

👀

[cursive summit]

I've been really eyeing the Ncase M2, I wonder if these fit in that

They do actually

Up to 359mm long, so not the XFX, 4 slot max

Yep and the Nitro+ is also just short enough

I really like the Nitro+, such a good looking brick

[sharp badger]

Yeah it is a nice looking brick

[whole axle]

How so?

[cursive summit]

It's a brick

[sharp badger]

https://www.sapphiretech.com/en/consumer/nitro-radeon-rx-9070-xt-16g-gddr6

[cursive summit]

🧱 supremacy

[whole axle]

💀

I guess

[steady sail]

why do i like the Gigabyte gaming OC look

[cursive summit]

If it ain't a brick it's broke

[steady sail]

it is a brick kinda

[sharp badger]

I like the Gigabyte 5090 Master ice brick more though

[cursive summit]

Nah it has curves

If you ain't got straight edges you ain't poppin

[steady sail]

i dont have 360mm space xD

[sharp badger]

The Nitro+ is 330.8mm long?

Or do you mean the Gigabyte?

[steady sail]

the xfx cards are long boys

[cursive summit]

Yeah a bit too big

Gigabyte one looks pretty compact

[steady sail]

either the gigabyte or the PowerColor reaper

[cursive summit]

Huh the Hellhound really is thin as hell

It's almost I'd say liquid like

Very thin, 2.5 slots

[steady sail]

yeah dual slots

[cursive summit]

There's a lot of good selection for the 9070XT launch I'd say

Let's hope the stocks last

You have SFF ready, premium, long bois, overclockers

Kinda a good lineup, I dig it

[unkempt lake]

I really like the new magnetic XFX Fans

Only card i've seen in the lineup that makes me cringe is the sapphire nitro

WHY 12VHPWR

[steady sail]

we just missing a stock number

[unkempt lake]

Like

Who the fuck wants to use it

[cursive summit]

Me?

[unkempt lake]

I don't care about oooo look just 1 cable it plugs at the top

[cursive summit]

I don't mind the 12V

[steady sail]

the Taichi is 12vhpwr as well

[unkempt lake]

I'd rather just... not

[ashen spindle]

are we back to the surprising fact of other people have different preferences

[unkempt lake]

• it's just buying a new cable for no reason

[cursive summit]

I'd rather 12VHPWR than destroy my fingers with 3 8pins

[steady sail]

we have to see how they preform first

[cursive summit]

I despise 8pins those shits make my fingers bleed

[unkempt lake]

huh

how

[cursive summit]

Dashi, how tall are you

In cms or inches doesn't matter

[unkempt lake]

I'm tall as fuck

[cursive summit]

Number

[unkempt lake]

6 feet

[cursive summit]

I'm 6'7

I have big fucking fingers and I have trouble reaching into tight spaces

8pins are absolute bane of my existence, I have a lot trouble working with them

[unkempt lake]

what does tallness have to do with finger size

[steady sail]

it is just me but i think the NITRO+ would give u more trouble

[cursive summit]

Height and hand/finger sizes are proportionate/correlate?

[unkempt lake]

no?

[cursive summit]

Yes?

Look up studies lol

I have gigantic hands, and they really have troubles with tight spaces, especially ones like working with 8pins in a PC

So yeah I'm taking the 12VHPWR over 3 8pins

[unkempt lake]

Factors affecting hand size:
Genetics plays a major role in determining hand size, meaning some people may have relatively large hands even if they are not very tall.

[ashen spindle]

yes thats called an outlier in statistics

[cursive summit]

Studies have found correlations between height and hand size

My hands are pretty much standard, maybe a bit bigger for a person of my height

And that means they are big and unwieldy

[unkempt lake]

There is one but its not the only factor

[cursive summit]

Unironically I might just ask wife to do it if it's hard, she's a shortie

[distant heath]

hello can you not order the normal wooting 60he?

[cursive summit]

What is a normal wooting 60he

[distant heath]

collaboration

https://wccftech.com/nvidia-latest-driver-update-is-apparently-unable-to-resolve-black-screen-issues-for-many-users/

latest nv driver is a mess

I was reading the release notes for it and they literally had pc may bluescreen with hdr on as an open issue

How is that like...

Acceptable

[cursive summit]

Problems with HDR to my knowledge is a tale as old as time lel

Nothing surprising there

Idk what a black screen issue is though, Nvidia aren't horrible on software front though

[ashen spindle]

it is what it sounds like

[unkempt lake]

Their last few drivers have been awful

[ashen spindle]

running above 1080p60hz? blackscreen

[cursive summit]

Black screen issues while gaming

So.. driver timeouts?

Intermittent flashes?

Just.. black screen as soon as you launch the game?

[ashen spindle]

no it would literally not even start giving a signal on boot with the launch drivers

[unkempt lake]

Nico had issues with gsync flickering for like 2-3 drivers in a row, ended up getting fixed in the driver right before this buggy ass one

[ashen spindle]

blackwell launch has been worse than amd drivers this decade

[cursive summit]

How on earth would most people even update their drivers with no video out then

Some CPUs don't even have an iGPU

[unkempt lake]

That's the thing

[cursive summit]

Weird, Nvidia has been dropping the ball hard a bit

[unkempt lake]

They're fucked

[cursive summit]

That's a strong word, wallstreet wolves will not allow them to fail lel

[unkempt lake]

Add to thay all the 50 series issues...

[unkempt lake]

Oh i'm not saying fucked in that sense

[cursive summit]

Doubt this will impact Nvidia's marketshare too much

[unkempt lake]

I mean their software stability is fucked but consumer grade hardware doesn't matter to them anyways

[cursive summit]

The hivemind is too strong

[unkempt lake]

Gaming is 5% ofntheir revenues

Why would it affect anything

[cursive summit]

I said market share

Which is like 75-80% Nvidia

Even if Nvidia decided to release a broken generation to spite people, they'd still buy NV

I'm glad the hivemind when it comes to Intel has started to loosen a bit, and AMD is now heavily competing for market share in CPUs

But NV? Yeah fanboys ain't buying nothing but NV

[ashen spindle]

you could set your dispaly to 1080p and it would work, use the igpu display out or something to update

[unkempt lake]

Still it just... shouldn't have to be done

[ashen spindle]

oh yeah

[unkempt lake]

I'd argue people mostly buy nvidia because it's in prebuilts

And well... prebuilts are the barebone of the pc market, whether we like it or not

[cursive summit]

You can set display to specific res?

My display doesn't have that option

[unkempt lake]

Neither does mine

[ashen spindle]

in windows

[cursive summit]

But you have no signal, how are you navigating Windows?

[unkempt lake]

https://youtu.be/aAAThGxaMxk?si=NvkRHfc66ezptRVc

@cursive summit 6:25 demo of the issue

[ashen spindle]

I literally said in the same sentence use the igpu xD

[unkempt lake]

That's if you get in windows

[cursive summit]

Not all CPUs even have iGPUs

[unkempt lake]

Most do but if you don't uh... ouch

[ashen spindle]

sorry who buys a 5090 and is on am4

but yes its still not something that should happen

[unkempt lake]

Applies to 80 and 70 ti

Would work for a 5800x3d user

[fickle ore]

I just put my fps to 200 in game from 300

so I should sell my 7800 and get 3060

downgrading bis

[unkempt lake]

what

[fickle ore]

too many fps bad and can do with worse gpu

I see no reason to get 5090 what so ever

[unkempt lake]

You confuse me

[unkempt lake]

indeed

[fickle ore]

intended

[unkempt lake]

that's my job not yours

I'm the one who likes messing with people sometimes

[gusty kiln]

That just means your 7800 is using less power while the 3060 would be at full blast for the same fps

My 4070ti super uses less power compared to my 2080 running games like tf2 and osrs

[bright briar]

is benchmark a liar?

[ashen spindle]

yes

the guy that owns the site has a pretty big amd hate boner

[gusty kiln]

Use techpowerup for a better comparison

7900xtx is more like 50% faster

[lyric hatch]

It's banned on even intel and Nvidia subreddits for how bias it is

[bright briar]

is that worth the upgrade from a 3080? 50% faster or should i wait for next year

amd not producing another xtx card this year correct?

[unkempt lake]

yep they gave up on high end

[gusty kiln]

I personally wait for 100% faster, but 50% is a pretty good jump as well

[bright briar]

really? @unkempt lake

fml

[unkempt lake]

Yep

[bright briar]

yeah but the prices here are fucked rn

[unkempt lake]

If you can find an xtx at a decent price i'd snag one

[bright briar]

whats a decent price under 1.5k?

[gusty kiln]

What currency

[unkempt lake]

Cad

[unkempt lake]

1.5k was msrp

I paid 1.2k for mine

For reference

[lyric hatch]

Well they stopped making them and gpu market is pretty terrible rn

[bright briar]

fuck nvidiaiaiaia

[bright briar]

its like 2020 all over again

[balmy vector]

Amd aiaiaiai ftw

[bright briar]

i cant justify paying like 3k-4k for a gpu

[lyric hatch]

If 9070 xt is actually selling at MSRP that's probably your best bet over the 7900 xtx

[gusty kiln]

9070xt will probably be like 30% faster than a 3080

[steady sail]

[ashen spindle]

or two 4TB, they are as cheap as 1/2 tb in price/gb

[wind parrot]

im fine with what i have rn

[nimble arch]

You can get a 4TB for sub-£400 these days

That's what I paid for mine a few years back anyway

[ashen spindle]

yes but you cant get 8tb for the same, hes correct there

[nimble arch]

It's the full PCI-E 4.0 speeds as well

[ashen spindle]

8tb ssds are still double the price

[nimble arch]

I honestly should've just gotten 2TB but oh well

Lesson learned

[steady sail]

i mean that m.2 is 250gb and its only for windwos soo i dont mind lmao

and a 1tb sata ssd and life is fine :D

[nimble arch]

Nowhere near 50%

[wind parrot]

i can never have enough storage

[nimble arch]

Although I did a fresh install of Windows earlier this week so I've only installed games as I've gotten to them.

[steady sail]

and one of them is a 2tb HDD

[nimble arch]

I'd keep the NVIDIA replay stuff enabled if I actually played games that used said feature

[wind parrot]

should have bought a 4tb m.2

that m.2 2tb is one that i just bought for the new motherboard

the rest i transferred over

[nimble arch]

The only games I've got installed currently

[steady sail]

yes

[wind parrot]

for steam

but there is like ubisoft etc

[nimble arch]

Didn't bother installing a launcher that wasn't Steam

Unless it's shipped with a Steam game, such as the Rockstar launcher, I won't even bother

[leaden kiln]

epic is so bad ime
every time I close fortnite the launcher is just a black window when I open it next time, gotta restart it lol
