libaom is a fucking joke. SVT might be a memory hog, but as the proud owner of a system with enough memory to run it, I can proudly say my 1 minute video rendered in less than ten minutes and somehow had worse compression than x264

Wait, whot?

If most BSDs are running on the likes of AWS and azure (which wouldn’t surprise me) then it could well be true

Less likely to get RTFM from people who remember what it’s like to love a computer not obsess over it I suppose

Well I’m not straight

Well happy birthday to me, I knew I’d forgotten one of the weird coincidences of my birth this year.

Even if you’re using debian 12 bookworm and are fully up to date, you’re still running [5.4.1].

The only debian version actually shipping the vulnerable version of the package was sid, and being a canary for this kind of thing is what sid is for, which it’s users know perfectly well.

Glad ubuntu defaults to nano. One of the few decent choices that distro ever made

Termux gang?

I run sony wx4s, wired if I’m playing piano or musedash, wireless otherwise. I don’t know anything about headphones quality, they just got good noise canceling.

That’s not fair. I’m an arch user and the only time I’d set foot on a forum is to ask a question you won’t find an answer to in the wiki, the subreddit, some weird defunct blog nobody has made a post on in 11 years or the source code. And I probably won’t be answering any questions with RTFM or anything else for that matter.

How does the snap store have worse moderation than flathub when the snap store has the weight of a company behind it and flathub is run by [nervously notices it doesn’t say]?

Yeah basically

remember when tumblr wanted to go ferdiverse?

Plasma used to have 2 ways of dealing with pixil density settings and they removed my favorite one. It’s been deprecated for ages so I knew it was coming but it still hurt

There used to be an option in plasmasettings/appearance/fonts called DPI. It was basically the same as the scaling in display and monitor, but with a different underlying implementation which seems to result in less random empty space.

They removed legacy font based DPI scaling. I hate it. Nothing looks right 😭

Yup. You know it’s not the closed source drivers that annoy me. It’s the fact they don’t mesh well with mesa. Ergo certain features (eg. opengl and vulkan acceleration of virtual machines) just don’t make it to nvidia cards unless you use the shitty driver.

If you’ve been PC gaming on windows for a long time (a much longer time than I have actually) you’ll have beef with Nvidia. You’ll remember what they did. You’ll remember when they released a driver to specifically break PhysX if there was an AMD card installed. You’ll remember them consulting with game studios shortly before the release of certain games just to put yandere simulator toothbrush levels of too much polygon in certain scenes to make sure their cards benched favorably in said games. You’ll remember a shit tonne of things like that they did. From an end user’s perspective, a fair amount of users have a chip on their shoulder for one thing or another that Nvidia did.

Not exactly. It’s still used as a basis for Mint and Pop_Os. It’s still a fave basis for other people’s distros. And I think if you’re using an ubuntu based distro it’s not your fault that your upstream is stupid. To clarify:

• ubuntu
• kubuntu
• lubuntu

-> PEBCAK

• Pop_Os
• Linux Mint
• Hannah Montana Linux

-> Silly maintainers using a dumpster fire like Ubuntu as a basis
