I feel like they are dropping the ball in the GPU space though, both on desktop and in servers.

They’renot really leveraging it. They killed the steam deck line of “small core count, GPU heavy APUs” which is why Valve hasn’t updated it and competitors seem so power hungry. They all but killed server APUs, making them mega expensive and HPC only. They’re finally coming out with a M-Pro like consumer APU, but it took until 2025, and pricing will probably be a joke just like their Radeon Pro GPUs…

And I don’t even wanna get into the AI space. They get like 99% there and then go “nah, we don’t really care about this market, let Nvidia have their monopoly and screw everyone over.” It makes me want to pull my hair out.

With the only saving grace being that he’s actually like a hesitant coyote not big enough to take a combined Europe, but with a bomb strapped to its chest.

Yeah, well, this is what everyone thought in Georgia, and Ukraine in 2014.

He’s not going to change. His chosen successor probably won’t either.

We also knew exactly who Trump is. We have a very long history.

I particularly love stuff about him before he was in politics, like the Motley Fool podcast on how he duped public investors for his private company through pumping up real estate values. They went to his office, saw this weird array of gaudy decoration and oddly attractive employees, sat down with him, and saw through his lie. Then made the only short in their firm’s entire history… and it paid off.

There’s no excuse of bias. You can’t blame any politicians. It’s just him. And while not perfect by any means, you have to squint hard to see Kamala in the same light.

And never watch them?

For a while, yes…

If you like Castlevania, try DOTA Dragon’s Blood.

And both Avatar series, if you somehow haven’t seen them.

Just saying, 3rd party databases are great: https://reelgood.com/

It’s incredible how much more useful they are than the stupid rec algorithms.

I don’t think anyone wants a hot war in NK, and I’m not sure what good it would do.

Europe needs to (and should have) get off their butts and send every piece of hardware they have to Ukraine though, even cutting edge ones. Maybe even enforce a no-fly zone. As I keep asking, what are they waiting for… Spain to invade France? No, they built all this stuff to deter Soviet aggression, and its just sitting there, rotting instead of doing its job. If Ukraine would have stayed secure, they basically would never have to worry about this again.

Now they have no excuse. Russia clearly has no shame. And it’s almost (but not quite) too late.

Unless you have an Nvidia card.

I’ve been on linux for years, I work the Nvidia libraries all the time, I alternate booting wayland and X… I even use my AMD IGP as output these days, instead of the Nvidia card.

And I STILL hold my breath wondering if I’m going to get a blackscreen, and have to go into tty mode or boot from a usb stick to investigate and fix it.

They need to take their phones away in class.

I hate to sound so salty and old, but jeez.

I think they will become a Chinese vassal.

I don’t know exactly what that’d look like, but the pure economic/political dynamics make it seem kinda inevitable.

I never liked Musk, even when he was “In.” Even the Mars colonization meme rubbed me the wrong way, as the science does not line up with that.

It felt like a cult of personality to me. He was always a fickle jerk, a mixed bag.

You have a point though, people’s opinions were largely political, I think. Or just based on pure hope/cultism

+1

They should discourage institutions from using it (and use government Mastadon instances of course). This is honestly long overdue.

I’m afraid it would just bolster his image. Become a tiktok meme or something…

No.

Twitter exclusive.

Not directly, at least.

Trump is many things, but he basically ran against the war in Afghanistan, though its possible the US gets pulled into something because of Israel.

Every single bad thing about this country, from now on, will be prepended with “Biden”

It shall be law.

I’m not actually sure if I’m joking.

But EGG PRICES! The economy!

And he’s such a strong leader…

(I am paraphrasing actual interviews our local networks did with college students)

Rimworld was another shining example. Its actual early access was a forum release, the Steam EA was polishing.

That being said I have a dead EA or two in my library. Starforge comes to mind…
