Like every game

[scarlet swan]

strange

[umbral helm]

Couldn’t even boot up RuneScape or Hd2

Till I rolled back

RuneScape kept giving me “graphics failed to initialize” even after DDU + reinstall of 24.1.1

I ain’t even play RS

I just got free shit from prime gaming I wanted to open lmao

[scarlet swan]

yeah, I see AMD is keeping up with traditions of releasing shitty drivers

[umbral helm]

They been good for awhile these are the worst in years

[scarlet swan]

fortunately I do not have any of the problems

any game I play runs completely fine

the only thing I found which was probably the fault of the game was that the ground was too high in HD2 tutorial and I couldn't get through the barbed wire under which I had to crouch walk through

[ebon stag]

I had one crash during the first like 12 hours from launch, and another on exiting the game, but aside from those I've been all good

I love seeing all the people asking why Helldivers needs an anti cheat not taking the 5 seconds to utilize any critical thinking and realizing that if cheaters rapidly cleared all the invasions on all the planets the game would be literally unplayable

It’s really remarkable, the mind of a twitter user

[last moss]

Looks like a twitter rant to me

[ebon stag]

I saw one person use lethal company as a point of comparison as to why Helldivers 2 doesn’t need an anti cheat

I was just baffled

[scarlet swan]

there is the point that every mission actually affects the game on the global scope

cheaters bashing out a mission every 30 seconds would not be good

and that just shows how pointless all these "normal" anti-cheats are

[ebon stag]

1 cheater could do what would take a coordinated team of 4 ~30 minutes in 3, that would ruin the game

On a global scope even

Like you literally would not be able to play it shortly after any cheats got distributed, because there would be no missions left

[scarlet swan]

does nprotect launch with your pc, like vanguard?

or is it more like EAC?

[ebon stag]

I’ve heard it doesn’t, just launches with the game

That’s likely why you see that little white box appear in the top left corner as well as the nprotect logo

[scarlet swan]

but nobody gives a shit about EAC and Battleye being kernel level

[ebon stag]

Because they can’t make people mad enough with them anymore, but nprotect is less common and Helldivers is new, so it’s great for driving engagement

[scarlet swan]

well, as you know, publicity is publicity, good or bad

Anti-kernel anti-cheat warriors are the shallowest of protestors

With microsoft we wouldnt have those problems

But i dont have server problems that often

[umbral helm]

sony being sony probably gave them a limited budget for servers

they didnt think it was gonna be a success

look at the lack of ads before release vs after release.

sony's ONLY ads for this game were posted on their channel as trailers within like 8 months of release

Just like when people get shocked that their historical figure from 1x00 was a slave owner / sexist / generally royal piece of shit

ohhh ahhhh the guy from the year where literally everyone was a piece of shit in some way was a piece of shit ohhhhhh nooooo

instead of owning that in history and saying “look at how X group worked against the grain and now our history is better bc of it” corporations erase that

[fast pike]

not 'literally' everyone but generally a significant majority

[proud atlas]

No Sparty, you don't understand. We are all evil pieces of shit.

[umbral helm]

in 20 years the MLB will be saying Jackie Robinson was well supported by all his teammates and coaches and that the commissioner fired all the racists

Bc no one will know better

instead of saying “hey we were kinda pieces of shit back then but look at the changes that have been made and the work done by these individuals to make us as an organization a better group.”

[fast pike]

looking at some historical records about things people are discriminated against today still it warms my heart a bit to see that it's been socially accepted at some point and that there are records of such things/practices throughout history

for example, did you know that Schrödinger (the guy that apparently hates cats) was polyamourous?

[proud atlas]

Rosa Parks was met only with applause
MLK met no resistance and everyone cheered
Women across the country were paraded for on the day of suffrage

[umbral helm]

[umbral helm]

Einstein was an incest freak who had infidelity problems and treated both his first wife and second wife (his first cousin) terribly

Hard to be a great person in every area

It’s like character creation

90% of points assigned to X thing and the remainder gets spread out over the other necessary skills

[proud atlas]

Dumped all points into intelligence?
You get the following negative traits:

• Zero Charisma
• Pedophilia

[umbral helm]

When you influence society and the entire human species so greatly, there’s probably some private life stuff that’s terrible. Not every time

I’d say most of the time tho

[fast pike]

Pedophilia in itself is not a horrible trait, most pedophiles are non-offending and most sexual abuse against children is actually not committed by pedophiles (think other children, religious nutjobs mutilating children)

[umbral helm]

But a lot of this stuff is boiled down into articles

There’s probably nuance

[fast pike]

with or without taking the "social norms of that time" into consideration?

[proud atlas]

This can go down some nasty rabbit holes that we probably shouldn't venture here on this community server

[umbral helm]

with the social norms

[fast pike]

... you're right, don't want Scrim to come down on me with lightning again

[umbral helm]

Applying the era norms that Einstein lived in, it’s really not a shock

Most men did not treat their wives great

And marrying a first cousin isn’t as much of a shock as it is today for that era

Doesn’t make it ok

But it’s not like it was an out of character evil act to commit with everyone in society telling you to do otherwise

[fast pike]

right.

speaking from my personal moral standpoint, I'm generally of a fairly liberal stance of "as long as all people consent" which (in case of incest) would take potential offspring with faulty genes into account - AFAIK there's no negative implication for genes if first cousins sometimes produce offspring ¯_(ツ)_/¯

that being said, that sentence itself already borders the "we need to keep our genes pure and healthy" mindset... which produced a couple massacres over the years

[proud atlas]

yeah it's the offspring part that matters, that's the responsibility that needs to be taken into account. Otherwise it's just current societal nroms

[fast pike]

I'd rather we have some sort of parenting license and neuter everyone who has proven to be unable to care (emotionally) for children

[proud atlas]

Oh that is... extreme

Not the last part

The first

- Conservative Libertarian

[fast pike]

parenting license is extreme?

or neutering everyone?

backslash in front

a traumatized and badly-cared for child is going to affect all other children in their vincinity

[proud atlas]

Agreed

[fast pike]

imho a traumatized child is going to cause way more long term damage than other good reasons we have licenses for

or to put it in the clear: if you're traumatizing a child, you're effectively torturing a child

and in most places on this world, we have laws against that

granted, holding a specific way of parenting over people is also going to impose some ideology

can't prevent that

[proud atlas]

I'm gonna derail this into something else because I'm selfish and low and hate the government, but how the fuck do we live in a world where travel by car is necessary for survival in most situations, and they are gonna force us to license and pay tax and test for and the worst part, forced insurance

Forced insurance is literal fuckin robbery and cash washing

[fast pike]

because you're operating a machinery that is capable of hurting not only you but a lot of other people if not operated correctly. And history has proven that there are enough people not operating correctly that insurance is preferred over victims suffering preventable damage

and travel by car is not necessary in most places, that's why humanity has invented good infrastructure and supply lines

now, I agree with you on the insurance part

because if you're negligent enough to damage someone else's property or body, you should carry the responsibility for it

[proud atlas]

humanity has invented good infrastructure and supply lines

They have? Even the free public buses in my area don't run on certain days, or at times people need for work. If we had autonomous rail it would be different I suppose, or hell, autonomous buses (still scary IMO although the tech is getting there)

[fast pike]

but fact of the matter is that most people wouldn't have the money to pay such damages outright, thus not having insurance would mostly harm the victim, not the perpetrator

[proud atlas]

THIS

If you fuck up pay the consequences

It's all I'm asking

[fast pike]

depends on the area, complain to your local government or representative.

[proud atlas]

Pay the damages, pay the fines, do the time. Can't? Then get fucked. But Insurance is a fucking scam.

[fast pike]

yes, except you can't and don't have to pay if you don't have the money for it to begin with. Most people don't have assets. Most people live in debt.

[proud atlas]

It's a tough situation then I suppose

(As in I hold my opinion, but get where you're coming from)

[fast pike]

in the end, if the perpetrator can't pay, the victim suffers for it

well, as for insurance being a scam: there are insurances that are exploitative

[umbral helm]

car insurancd is one of the less scammy insurances but all insurance is a grift

[fast pike]

but if insurances were a scam, large cooperations managing or owning a large amount of assets wouldn't use them, but they do.

[proud atlas]

Generally my opinion

[umbral helm]

I worked on software that managed health insurance and workman’s comp etc for unions

[fast pike]

insurance is meant to protect against unforseeable losses

or at least mitigate them

[umbral helm]

The amount of bulk and overhead costs in insurance is why it’s so expensive

You aren’t paying into the pool to help cover the expenses of other members

You’re covering the massive costs of software, offices, employment etc for the insurance company

As well as profits

[cursive hazel]

Oh my fucking godhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2vVcZ93ii8

[umbral helm]

Which is why I consider it a scam

[proud atlas]

OH SHIT

[fast pike]

and, of course, if it's privately owned or publicly traded, it's also a business wanting to make profits

in Germany, for example (and in other european countries), there's mandatory health insurance

[cursive hazel]

FREE EXPANSION TOO

[hot cradle]

I've been waiting for this for a while

[proud atlas]

One of the rare scenarios in which a government operated entity might be better? Idk just spitballing

[fast pike]

and the general health insurance is funded by the government

[fast pike]

exactly.

however, even if owend by a government, there can and will be some mismanagement

[proud atlas]

of course

[fast pike]

and what is covered by the insurance is ultimately decided by the representatives or the government

[proud atlas]

Insurance for profit should not be an utter-able sentence

[fast pike]

in case of the German general health insurance (GKV - Gesetzliche KrankenVersicherung), the federal government pays billions to cover expenditures that couldn't be covered by the funding mechanism for the health insurance

however, and this is where the German model fails utterly

we also have private health insurers

and generally speaking you're only eligible to join a PKV (Private KrankenVersicherung) if you're a top earner or

public servant, I guess

well, a sworn public servant

top earners can opt to self-insure and leave the GKV, and there's a limit on how much money you owe to the GKV

if you surpass that limit by earning more, you can leave

[proud atlas]

Love that, "public servant"...
When was the last time someone was dubbed a public servant, and said person acted faithfully with that title in mind? Certainly not here in North America

[fast pike]

and sworn public servants are covered by the government directly - it pays ~80% of all health-related costs

and the remaining 20% have to be paid by themselves - but they can insure privately and PKVs in Germany have special terms for them

the other bad side of the coin is that there are some nonsensical things that are funded by GKV and that over the years it funds less

and, if you're sceptical of immigration (and immigration in Germany is managed badly compared to some of our neighbors), all immigrants and asylum seekers are automatically insured in GKV and get social benefits

whether or not they're contributing to the German economy

and because the system has quite a bit of holes, it's also known to be abused and abusable

anyways, my point towards insurance is:

you want insurance if:

• you have assets you want to protect but not the money to cover for damages,
• you have assets and theoretically the money but large sums of money can be put to work in a more meaningful way

i.e. an accident only happens every 10 years and costs a large sum of money. If you were to invest that money, you wouldn't have it available in case of an accident but after 10 years you'd have more than covered for the expenses of the insurance due to the monetary gains through investments

[hot cradle]

People in the sim pit don't talk about sc stuff either lmao

[coarse onyx]

anyways: you were asking about 3090s?

[coarse onyx]

oh they dont?

[hot cradle]

God no lol

[coarse onyx]

i thought that whole category was for SC stuff

[hot cradle]

Nahh

[coarse onyx]

god

[jolly cave]

yeah can you actually run SLI on 3090s?

[hot cradle]

It's where all the simpit goblins hide

[coarse onyx]

idk

[coarse onyx]

simpits are cool and all

but like

[jolly cave]

i remember researching doing it for my 1080 back in the shortage when you couldnt buy 30 series cards

[coarse onyx]

y u take so seriously man

idt u can sli 3090s

but buying whatever

[jolly cave]

so no sli 3090 :(

[coarse onyx]

4x4?

or is it 3x3 + 4x1

[jolly cave]

?

[coarse onyx]

idk

something like 3x3 + 4x1 3090s

did some ethereum with it

now doing some AI/ML with it

[jolly cave]

oh thats sick actuall

ive wanted to do some ML projects

dont have the Vram for it

[coarse onyx]

metal is a great way tbh

[jolly cave]

as in you have one system with 4 3090s?

[coarse onyx]

yes

its like 3x3 + 4x1

[jolly cave]

and whats the 3x3 one?

[coarse onyx]

iirc

3 machines with 3

[jolly cave]

ah okay

[coarse onyx]

parallel machines for lots of inferencing

[jolly cave]

dude wtff

thats awesome and terrifying

[coarse onyx]

[jolly cave]

nobody should own that many gpus

[coarse onyx]

should? nah

[hot cradle]

Tell that to the scalpers

[coarse onyx]

^

at least im wasnt reselling them for 1k profit a piece

that would be the ah move

[jolly cave]

k wait pause

each of the three machines has 3 3090s?

or one each

[coarse onyx]

this

[jolly cave]

NAHH

thats crazy

13 3090s?

also like

do you have any pictures of that

[coarse onyx]

something like that

[jolly cave]

because that sounds awesome

[coarse onyx]

might?

lemme glance

[jolly cave]

id love to see that

[hot cradle]

I can only imagine the heat you get off those

[coarse onyx]

yes

its a lot

almost all if not all are water cooled iirc

[jolly cave]

bro you are living my dream

[coarse onyx]

so the dispersion is okay

[jolly cave]

more efficient but still a stupid amount of heat

[coarse onyx]

well yes

[hot cradle]

Just dunk them all in a tub of cooling fluid

[coarse onyx]

never said the heat isnt a problem

[jolly cave]

just hook it up to the nearest stream

[coarse onyx]

[jolly cave]

no rad needed

also also

you cant run sc on like

multiple gpus at once

so youre still running it at 8k on one gpu correct?

kinda crazy it can keep up with even that

[hot cradle]

I believe you can run games on multiple but not many support it nowadays

[jolly cave]

I still want pictures lol

[jolly cave]

huh

[coarse onyx]

cant find a pic

hm

idk why

swore i had a pic

this being said

i have too many htings in my photo roll

[coarse onyx]

yes

the 3090 sets are for ai/ml only rn

[jolly cave]

makes sense

what do you train with them?

like just random projects?

Or do you work for OpenAI or some shit

[coarse onyx]

no no and no

photo from jan 1 2021

[hot cradle]

Thanks for singlehandedly raising the cost of GPUs Aidan

[coarse onyx]

yw

[jolly cave]

theres another one in the back lol

3x3, 1x4, 1x1

[coarse onyx]

thats an old machine

had a titan iirc

was a normal desktop

[jolly cave]

ah ofc ofc

basically junk

[coarse onyx]

the 3x3 4x1 are ubuntu dedicated

no head

[coarse onyx]

not in that sense

that 3090 got cycled back into the pool and is in the ai/ml machines iirc

i actually dont fully remember tho

[jolly cave]

one day ill have so many 3090s I cant remember what I did with them

[coarse onyx]

[jolly cave]

ah shit man I lost one of my 3090s, ill have to use my spare titan until i can find it

[coarse onyx]

i know one of the blower 3090s is in this dans case we have here

the water cooled are all in the servers bc the more we can help the heat problem the better

also watercooled dont fit in the dans case

[jolly cave]

makes sense

slightly personal question what the hell do you do for a living

you dont have to answer that

but like what kinda career is letting you buy a dozen 3090s

[coarse onyx]

not me

my dad

software company making routers

rgnets is the company

cutting edge is his thing

i think you can see how the crypto (and now ai/ml) fit into that kind of thing

[jolly cave]

okay yeah makes sense

thats sick

alr i gotta head out

[coarse onyx]

o7

[jolly cave]

have fun with your pc made of 3090s

[coarse onyx]

?XD

thanks

[exotic reef]

So you can buy three 3090s but not even one F8C?

Disgraceful

[civic panther]

just bought the carrick and put the picses in it

will it stay in there or will I have to constantly put the pisces in the carrick

[exotic reef]

If you store the Carrack, anything in it will be as you left it when you retrieve it

[golden yarrow]

Does anyone know some good Laptops for just writing Mails and using Word and Powerpoint? It should be a reliable Notebook

[rose ferry]

Budget?

[noble pewter]

Around 600 - 700€

[rose ferry]

If it were me I'd do this if that's all you're gonna do, but it's slightly over budget

Thing is overkill and super fast

[noble pewter]

Yeah but its for my Mom and she didn't want a Macbook. I would go for HP but I know that Lenovo also makes some good Laptops but I didn't have the best experience with Lenovo as mine stopped working after the warranty had ended

[coarse onyx]

say whaaat

mac is like

the computer

for consumer productivity

that is a mistake

[noble pewter]

Yeah 🫤
But does Lenovo make reliable Notebooks?

[rose ferry]

The newish ones nowadays are fine, they're what I give out to employees

Old X1 carbons used to have wi-fi chip issues, and some thinkpads/yogas have charging issues but haven't seen that in a while

Most entry-level laptops nowadays have strong enough chips to where it doesn't matter if you're just doing light browsing

[coarse onyx]

yogas have holding-charge issues at least the one i had did

the battery was complete shite

replacements were not helpful

lenovos are decent

[noble pewter]

I had a Ideapad and the battery was rly bad

[coarse onyx]

windows is not reliable as a matter of just fact

[noble pewter]

Okay

Then imma do some Research on some Lenovo Laptops, tysm for the help

Do you think the Lenovo V15 Gen 4 is good?

[fast pike]

Get a Lenovo E-line Laptop.

they're fairly affordable and you can order parts from 10 years ago if you really need to

[umbral helm]

Great recommendation

Windows laptops suck mostly

Lenovo has good lines

[fast pike]

put Linux on it, try GNOME and KDE as desktop environments. I'd suggest Mageia or KDE Neon.

[umbral helm]

all windows laptop makers have good lines and then the rest are utter shit

[fast pike]

if you're not in the Apple ecosystem, getting an Apple device is usually not a good idea

[compact granite]

For coding I have a MBP and for gaming I have a Lenovo Legion. I love them both but wouldnt game on a Mac and wouldnt code on Windows

[rose ferry]

It's for his mom lmao

[umbral helm]

Makes no sense

[rose ferry]

^

[umbral helm]

It’s for word and PowerPoint and browsing lmfao

[rose ferry]

It's idiot proof

[fast pike]

yes. You just put LibreOffice and Firefox on it and you're done.

[umbral helm]

no

[compact granite]

MacOS is Unix for dummies

[fast pike]

and no worries about Windows randomly deleting all your files

[umbral helm]

man I forgot Linux people existed

Reset the calendar

[rose ferry]

Why would Mac delete all your files

[umbral helm]

100%

I love my MBP

[fast pike]

Mac won't delete your files but Mac is also very expensive

[umbral helm]

so are good windows laptops

[rose ferry]

Was this for linux or what

[fast pike]

and if something breaks, you'll pay a shitton for repairs

[umbral helm]

AppleCare

[rose ferry]

That's the thing, it almost never breaks

[fast pike]

if they even repair it, in most cases you have to buy a new device because Apple

[umbral helm]

No you don’t

[rose ferry]

And a parent won't have to worry as hard about getting viruses on a mac

[fast pike]

I'm talking about accidental damage

[compact granite]

If your Windows breaks, youre just fucked half the time

[fast pike]

that's a myth.

[umbral helm]

I’ve had 2 MacBooks repaired and one replaced over 15 years of owning Macs lol

I never paid anything beyond AppleCare

[rose ferry]

Accidental damage doesn't have anything to do with whether it's good or not. If your Windows laptop breaks, you still have to pay to repair it

[fast pike]

first off, if you're not doing questionable shit, you're very unlikely to get random malware in the first place - no matter the OS.

[rose ferry]

Not a myth, my parents aren't smart and I haven't had to intervene ever since I got them a Mac mini

[fast pike]

and windows defender is actually usable since windows 10

[umbral helm]

That’s a myth

[exotic reef]

The myth is that they're magically immune, it's not a myth that most viruses target the OS with the largest install base

[rose ferry]

When they had the Windows PC I built them that shit got pup viruses constantly

[compact granite]

TBH everytime i get a Windows laptop it blue screens within a year or so.. I have a 10+ Macbook that is still working fine

[umbral helm]

the idea that you need to be doing sketchy shit to get viruses shows a lack of knowledge on the area

[fast pike]

that's an anecdote

[rose ferry]

Keraldi, it's a case of you being too deep into Linux/Windows that you're having a tough time seeing that Mac = almost always the best option for simple stuff or for parents that are tech illiterate

It's bias at this point

[compact granite]

I moved my parents to iPhones for a similar reason

[fast pike]

right, but it's fairly easy to implement malware that can target multiple target OSes and in the last 10 years the gap between vulnerability between Windows and MacOS has all but vanished

[umbral helm]

Macs are far simpler for maintenance, file organization / searching / indexing and application install

[rose ferry]

It's an anecdote you see often to the point where it's not an anecdote anymore

[fast pike]

in any case, if you're clicking on a fishy e-mail attachment or porn ads, you're fucked with every OS

[fast pike]

correction: confirmation bias/generalization

if the projected lifetime of your Apple device ends, especially for mobile devices, you're shit out of luck

[umbral helm]

recommends a Linux installation for a menial task only computer

Confirmation bias!!!

[fast pike]

if Microsoft decides to do stupid shit, you're shit out of luck, too

I'm not saying that you can't get virusses on a linux computer

[noble pewter]

Is the ThinkPad E14 AMD Gen 5 a good Notebook? I think it seems good for the price

[compact granite]

This isn't true either. i have devices well beyond projected lifetime that works fine

[fast pike]

but a linux computer paired with a well-maintainable manufacturer/brand will allow you to keep the device in use for the longest period of time with the least hickups

[rose ferry]

Confirmation bias is you recommending that he gets mom a windows laptop and to put linux on it with gnome and kde as desktop environemnts, with Mageia or KDE Neon. That's being way out of touch

[umbral helm]

It will do everything she needs

[rose ferry]

What sparty said, I was just late

[fast pike]

GNOME or KDE, not and

[umbral helm]

do you live next to a microcenter? @noble pewter

[rose ferry]

The bias is strong

[fast pike]

because they're generally the most user friendly

I had a couple apple device

[compact granite]

I would rather eat grass than teach my parents how to use any linux distro

[umbral helm]

Linux is anything but friendly for non tech enthusiasts

[fierce wadi]

Wait a sec wait a sec

[umbral helm]

no matter how simple

[fast pike]

I had a couple apple devices and they were all unusable after 6 years

[fierce wadi]

What are they going to be doing with it, what is their budget, and what are their preferences for OS?

[fast pike]

and there's no end of documentations about Apple shops refusing repair services

[umbral helm]

word PowerPoint and emails

[fast pike]

or recommending a new device when there's a cheap fix possible but nearly impossible to do so for the layman because of the way Apple designs their devices

[rose ferry]

Using a phone for more than 6 years sounds like you got your use out of it and then some

[fierce wadi]

. . . So they could do this on virtually anything.

[fast pike]

in any case, busy playing DotA now.

[exotic reef]

If you're recommending Linux for a non-techie windows user at least recommend Mint

[fast pike]

Laptop in that case. MBP

from 2013

[compact granite]

I got my mother-in-law a Chromebook because she is IT illiterate, and she hasnt had any issues with it

All she does is use word and the internet

[noble pewter]

Nope

[fierce wadi]

+1 to this. I used mint for a while

[rose ferry]

Or arch

[umbral helm]

yeah chromebooks are great for this too

I forgot they existed

But they do be working for this use case

[fierce wadi]

Unfortunate truth: If you want something worth the money, don't get a chromebook.

[exotic reef]

Chromebooks are a lot better than they used to be tbf

[compact granite]

Depends.. if you just need something that is a step above a tablet, they work fine for that

[fierce wadi]

Chromebooks are so underpowered for how much you might end up paying for one. If you're just doing very basic browser stuff then yeah even the cheaper chromebooks perform really well

But for anything more than that, or if you actually gain an interest in tech.. you need to jump through hoops to get them unlocked.

I know chromebooks inside and out, and honestly (it's 100% a lot better now) they're held together with scotch tape and wood glue

Not even just hardware, even the internals of the OS are stupid

[umbral helm]

this is a pc for a parent who is seemingly not looking for a powerhouse

[fierce wadi]

A chromebook will definitely get the job done, but there are definitely better options.

I'd say something with windows/macos in my opinion

[fast pike]

Mint has had several issues that make it not user-friendly.

it just looks nice, everything else about it is horrible

[umbral helm]

I don’t think you understand that the idea of getting a windows or Mac for someone who is tech illiterate is so they have a vast amount of knowledge available

[fierce wadi]

Yeah, just use gentoo like me

[umbral helm]

they aren’t Linux enthusiasts

there is no benefit to forcing them to use LibreOffice and Linux lmao

[fast pike]

that's not user friendly

[fierce wadi]

That's the joke

[fast pike]

if they're tech illiterate, it doesn't matter what OS they use

[umbral helm]

yes it does

holy shit lmao are you this blinded by Linux fanaticism

[fierce wadi]

There are definitely some OS that work better than others for beginners

[ionic wave]

Window and Mac OS doesn’t really require more than 2 brain cell to use

[fast pike]

yes, a theoretical OS with the best design for someone who hasn't used a PC, Mac or any other Computer, ever.

but that's neither here nor there, for some it might be MacOS, for some some Linux DE for some Windows

[umbral helm]

most people have used windows at one point in their life lmfao

most people have not used Linux

[rich quarry]

templeOS

/thread

[fierce wadi]

Yes... because all of them will require learning, but some are a bit less user friendly. Like y'know, bringing a total beginner on the Linux train.

[compact granite]

Listen Swys.. Mint is just as terrible as Mac because they both are not the Linux distro that the elite haxors use. If you dont buy a Ryzen 9 7950X3D and a 7900 XTX so your mom can write emails on her BackBox OS then it's just not even worth getting her a PC

[umbral helm]

nothings wrong with Linux but in this specific situation it makes no sense

[fierce wadi]

IF they're interested in Linux, sure that's a good option

But if they're new? Just teach them windows and go on your merry way

[coarse onyx]

god damn it bean

[fierce wadi]

Teach them how to google something if they don't know

[coarse onyx]

stop scaring them away

[umbral helm]

they likely know basic windows usage anyways

[coarse onyx]

sorry for the necro but im in a similar situation and 100% agree

[fierce wadi]

Yeah, that or gentoo

[late depot]

I’m testing star citizen on a intel core i3 and 2gb of ram rn and it’s better then I imagined

[fast pike]

Mageia is specifically a beginner distro

[coarse onyx]

yall

just run ubuntu smh my head

or fuckin uh

[late depot]

Its getting 30 fps in space 16 at microtech

[coarse onyx]

debian

[compact granite]

Ubuntu CLI with no GUI

[coarse onyx]

ubuntu server

dont even bother with ubuntu desktop

[fierce wadi]

As long as you aren't installing gnome, it's fine

[coarse onyx]

[fierce wadi]

I've had someone try to install gnome on my minimal arch install

[compact granite]

Mom, you need to learn Ubuntu CLI to write your emails. Dont worry, I installed and opened Vim for you

[coarse onyx]

support on rhel is just horrible in some cases smh

[coarse onyx]

VI ftw

yall mfs hate on vi

best shit

you got a unix-based box? vi

[compact granite]

Dont ask me how to close it, I just reboot

[coarse onyx]

oh god i have a funny screenshot for yo uthen

[umbral helm]

Mom here’s a 60% keyboard an Linux box

[fierce wadi]

I use vi and nano interchangeably because some chromebooks literally don't even come with nano for some reason lmao

[coarse onyx]

[rich quarry]

[coarse onyx]

3 MILLION times

[coarse onyx]

macos ftw

[umbral helm]

LMAO

[fierce wadi]

Yes. Vim doesn't make it nearly as clear as it should

[coarse onyx]

i cant get over the fact that this shit is 11.5 years old

and we're fuckin updating it

as of 10 days ago

god

i love the internet

[fast pike]

most linux distros that try to be user friendly have been able to be used without command line for a couple years now

they're no better or worse for a tech illiterate to use than windows or macos

[coarse onyx]

windows is worse than macos

[fast pike]

windows is bloated with adware and advertisements from the get-go

I personally don't like the MacOS office suite (iWork)

and since LibreOffice added the options to use registers like Microsoft office I just outright prefer it

[fierce wadi]

I just don't like apple

[coarse onyx]

still better than msoffice

[fast pike]

previously I preferred LibreOffice mostly because it doesn't have some stupid limitations that MS Office has

[coarse onyx]

ms office is a literal shit show

but also: just use google workspace

[fierce wadi]

They make fine products but they gouge their customers for every penny

[fast pike]

like the arbitrary 255 character limit for Excel headers and footers

[coarse onyx]

stares at the server you are in

[fierce wadi]

I've only spent the $45 on the game that I needed for my aurora

Never ever has it decided to crash because an update killed it early

[fast pike]

well, I do heavily prefer open source software and dislike potential future employers collecting user data about me, so I generally try to avoid Google as much as possible

[fierce wadi]

I just try to make my own version of things I use often that aren't already open source

[fast pike]

anyways, that's my reasoning why Linux with a previously good hardware Windows laptop:

• Windows is utter garbage, no questions asked
• MacOS is fine but Apple hardware is not sustainable or repairable long term and (at least for older devices) Updates made them nigh unusable. There's enough documentation about that, so I'm not going to elaborate further.

The Linux desktop experience has improved A LOT over the past years and if you're just clicking icons anyways and are not used to one OS or another, there's no downside compared to Windows or MacOS.
If you got a ThinkPad, replacement parts are a breeze if something ever breaks and you'll not have to worry about the PC not being powerful enough to work with new updates probably until you die

and while I do enjoy being marked and bashed as a Linux fanboi, I have to disappoint: I use Windows as my daily driver and Linux only for studying and student administration responsibilities. My work laptop (until today) was a Macbook, by the way. So I basically used all three sides of the coin on a daily basis

While University has a complete Microsoft ecosystem and work a complete Apple ecosystem

and over the years of making laptop recommendations for students, I've got less support requests from people using Macbooks and Linux laptops than from Windows users

while for Apple users there were always issues making it work with the university stuff or because they don't have an iPhone but an Android smartphone

Also, the university outright denies support for Apple devices in some cases

[main grotto]

i feel that ...also porting from windows app to mac is nightmarish with licensing if u want to have it on store...and xcode is uterlly garbage in comparison to vs

i have personal server running game servers and backups on windows server 2022 and w11 as mainpc...having kali in 2 of my machines as work tools (modded switch and lenovo)...also have macbook for audio editing and photoshop but nowadays my mainpc with 5950x does outperform even on audio and visual editing my m2 macbook

[fierce wadi]

[main grotto]

[fierce wadi]

It's much easier to port apps and games from windows than Linux or Mac, in my experience 🤔 but I kinda get your point.

[main grotto]

windows to linux it needs just wine etc

to run

to mac...yeah f that

as in an swe? there are plenty of us here

[fierce wadi]

AAAYEEEEE TOOOLLLLLDDD UUUUU TISSSS MYYYYYY GAMEEEE STUDIOOOOO NAMEEEE 😭

@main grotto to answer your question, any deployment costs money.

[main grotto]

true

[fierce wadi]

Google app also costs you, but they make you go through hell before they even allow your app or game to appear on their store

In short, it is okay for Google to collect user data but they will make sure you don't collect any even for analysis.

[main grotto]

for apple its like 100bucks a year for each app to be even on their market...even if its free

thats pretty much why even libre office costs on mac

[fierce wadi]

@main grotto So what stack do you work with?

[main grotto]

mainly IT support/server administration...i do some sql as part of that but that includes python and js to some home assistant things...and last time i used c# was for accounting and customer warranty stuff...so little bit of both when needed 😂

[coarse onyx]

what?

[fierce wadi]

[fierce wadi]

Which game?

[willow notch]

Squadron 42 Star Citizen

[fierce wadi]

....... sq42 is out? o.o

[worthy niche]

No

[pliant mauve]

Man. I just used SpecialK for the first time since NieR: Automata, on DQB2, to get its FPS uncapped so that G-SYNC will kick in... and it also fixes DQB2's inability to use print screen to copy the screen to the clipboard.

[fierce wadi]

If only they had QT like this in SC 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌

[modest blaze]

Back when the game actually had a future

[finite saddle]

have you played ED ?

[modest blaze]

Quite a lot

[finite saddle]

Why is it dead now ?

[modest blaze]

It's not dead, but its future is definitely up in the air

Pretty much all the original devs are long gone

[finite saddle]

wish there was fictional and alient contradiction in Star Citizen...even to SC is fantabolous outstanding...i am new in SC just played 4 days

We need physicalized Quantum Travel first before we can do anything fancy with it.

[cobalt vessel]

had this happen to me once, didnt have any anti-xeno weapons so it killed me pretty quickly

but this happenes a lot actually if u fly near thargoid opressed systems

[gloomy scaffold]

biggest change I want ASAP 😭

QT right now basically feels like 'fast' travelling but with a 5 minute wait, so boring

[wind sparrow]

My 711 got a new flavor 🫣

[warm dome]

Monster energy Mental Institute Flavor?

[wind sparrow]

💀

[low prawn]

Is this what CIG uses to create there ISC? https://youtu.be/NXpdyAWLDas?si=YDU6gWD-wSkOggss

[tepid ocean]

Considering sora is more limited than evocati, no

[pliant mauve]

AI-generated video isn't public still, and you can't lease/rent it yet either. You can just hope to contact someone who is able to use the systems, to do what you want.

elite Dangerous sometimes have QT for 30 minutes to 9 days due size of map...its 1:1 scale of milky way Galaxy dude

[gloomy scaffold]

Not what I'm talking about. Supercruise keeps you in control of the ship so it's more fun to travel a shorter distance.

[pliant mauve]

Oh, they finally made a playlist of all the alls: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8mG-RkN2uTxtuJChh0vAM5Kf6SeoOpby

[finite saddle]

@native vector

Whining about their being low content for high price has an impact

[scarlet swan]

Your ink?

[sharp horizon]

latest to my sleeve yah

[scarlet swan]

Nice, I want to get inked someday, but not now

A sleeve as well

And I'd probably just let the artist do whatever he/she wants

I don't really have anything particular in mind

[sharp horizon]

that's pretty much how it all went down for me

I got a smol one on my hand, 6 months later my entire right arm sleeved

[scarlet swan]

True, better to start with a small one to see how you tolerate pain

[sharp horizon]

and I also let my artists have free reign

[sharp horizon]

100%

[rose ferry]

The medusa piece below it looks really familiar to one of my artists pieces

[sharp horizon]

bro they've used the exact same hair wtf hahaha

[rose ferry]

Think it's a popular design lol

[sharp horizon]

no seriously its the same snakes lmaoo

[rose ferry]

[sharp horizon]

he used a diff face aswell I remember and added the snake hair

@rose ferry

[scarlet swan]

I see a few differences

But for the most part, the hair is the same

Some snakes just seem to be missing on yours

[sharp horizon]

is smol'er most likely

my arms are very skinny

my arm so far @scarlet swan

[scarlet swan]

Love the mythological character theme

[sharp horizon]

[scarlet swan]

Zeus, Medusa and Odin?

[rose ferry]

Yeah you got a good artist for the greek designs, look like it fits the theme

[sharp horizon]

Hade, Zeus, Medusa, Pegasus and Hera

[scarlet swan]

Oh, hade

[sharp horizon]

He's really good man I love his work and for £250 for 6 hours pretty nice

[scarlet swan]

Not quite familiar with Greek mythology

[rose ferry]

Lots of incest

[sharp horizon]

[scarlet swan]

[sharp horizon]

my other arm is going to be a full warhammer 40k sleeve

Dark Angels/Sisters of Battle uptop and Daemons lower

[scarlet swan]

I maybe would go starcraft themed sleeve maybe

The whole universe is cool

[sharp horizon]

that would be cool too, do the humans higher up and the bugs on your lower arm

[modest blaze]

zeus is a regular appearance among the gods' family tree
in various forms
