I'm not talking about this case and this data. I'm talking about the take of people above on how things should be handled.

Derpgon said "russia can be fucked" regardless of whether it's a military or civilian target.

Maness300 pointed out that collective punishment can easily turn into discrimination. That is, there's a big difference between "XYZ is bad, because it's aiding Russian military" and "XYZ is bad, because it's Russian"

Phoenixz points out that Russia is committing genocide, as if it's a counter argument to the previous statement, somehow.

I point out that just because Russia is committing genocide, it doesn't make it right to slip into "XYZ is bad, because it's Russian" and use that as justification to do anything you want to the country and its people.

Maness300 is right: targeting entities of any country for the action of said country, regardless of whether the entities in question are responsible, or even capable of influencing the actions, is not a good idea. It will lead to more problems.

I, for example, don't support the US selling weapons to Israel. Should go and set the closest 7-eleven on fire? It's an American company, so, clearly, it's a valid target, right?

Are you saying that just because Russia is doing a genocide, doing a genocide to Russia would be justified?
Ever heard the saying "an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind"?

Looks like you're hitting a known bug that isn't fixed yet.
Reportedly, ROCm 5.6.1 is the lastest working version, so you could try to downgrade. Something dnf install rocm-*-5.6.1 should do the trick.

Did you add a repo for RHEL8 to your Fedora install? Please, undo that.
Please, don't blindly follow instructions you find online, particularly when it comes down to installing something as important as drivers.
Installing drivers from third party sources should be done only as the last resort and only if you know exactly what you're doing.

AMDGPU drivers are a part of Linux itself, so you shouldn't need to install them manually. They're already there.
What Blender seems to want is ROCm HIP. The rocm-hip package might be what it wants? Try to install it and see if that works.

What about "if the target audience is known to not speak it" part do you not understand?

It's one thing to have your little community in whatever language and post there.

It's another to show up in a very much international community and start posting in whatever random language you want. Or, worse, start replying to comments written in English using your language. Like this guy. Just... How do you even do that? Aren't you supposed to kind of speak English to even understand the content of a comment you're replying to? Why not respond using it, then?

I'm not a native English speaker. My friends aren't either. Yet we all use it for pretty much the same reason. And if you think you can just chime in, go "你的母亲是只仓鼠,你父亲满身接骨木的气味", and be both perfectly understood and not downvoted, you're either a troll or an idiot.

It makes sense to not use English if the target audience is known to not speak it, but it is often not the case.
English is the most commonly spoken language in the world, after all. To not use it, is to make the content less searchable and harder to understand for billions of people.
Over a billion of those people have learned it as their second language simply to understand and be understood by each other. Is it really that weird that those who can't be bothered to do the same get downvoted?

Ah yes, blanket banning things using logic riddled with faulty generalization and facts proven by assertion. Totally not a bad idea! Totally!

Offtopic, but why on earth would anyone use .rar? It's a proprietary format. The reason there's basically no software to create or modify .rar archives is due licensing, which makes it illegal to write software that can do it.

Looking at the rarlab's website, it appears that only the MacOS version has an ARM build. For Linux, only x86 and x64 are listed.

So, either use MacOS, use emulation to run the x86/x64 version or break the law.

Expect for all the cases when humans do exactly that.

A lot of learning is, really, little more than memorization: spelling of words, mathematical formulas, physical constants, etc. But, of course, those are pretty small, so they don't count?

Then there's things like sayings, which are entire phrases that only really work if they're repeated verbatim. You sure can deliver the same idea using different words, but it's not the same saying at that point.

To make a cover of a song, for example, you have to memorize the lyrics and melody of the original, exactly, to be able to re-create it. If you want to make that cover in the style of some other artist, you, obviously, have to learn their style: that is, analyze and memorize what makes that style unique. (e.g. C418 - Haggstrom, but it's composed by John Williams)

Sometimes the artists don't even realize they're doing exactly that, so we end up with with "subconscious plagiarism" cases, e.g. Bright Tunes Music v. Harrisongs Music.

Some people, like Stephen Wiltshire, are very good at memorizing and replicating certain things; way better than you, I, or even current machine learning systems. And for that they're praised.

This is the evilest, worstest, and most upsetting thing I've read all day
