Last month The RADV ray-tracing pipelines support was enabled by default but then later disabled for VanGogh APUs, notably the Steam Deck. Now though with the latest ray-tracing code in Mesa 23.2-devel the RADV driver is no longer blocking the support for VanGogh.

I was able to do it by right clicking the desktop > Configure Desktop and Wallpaper > Mouse Actions > Add Action and continue from there. This only works when you scroll on the actual desktop background, not over any windows/menus.

I'm going to get one at the ~$300 level. Their discord channel is pretty active. David and some of the collaborators show up there pretty often. https://discord.gg/nS2PqEC

Ahh. That explains a lot. Thanks.

It definitely is. If Intel continues to make progress, hopefully it will bring down prices for consumers across all brands. And Intel seems serious about open source drivers, they aren't quite there on Windows yet, but maybe soon.

Maybe another stupid question, but how does someone mod 50+ communities? I imagine a low-traffic sub would be easy, but a high-traffic one is bound to attract lots of a--holes who need comments deleted/banning/reporting, etc.

Is this a 24 hr/day gig? Do these mods have day jobs?

I guess my main questions are how do they do it, and why do they do it.

Yeah, I want to see a lot of things from AMD, but I guess they're focused on data center right now.

[–] linuxFan@vlemmy.net 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ouch. AMD's open source support for enterprise was one of the only (maybe the only) advantages they had in data center. I love AMD, but I wish they'd step up their software game.

I've been looking for a TV for awhile now, and I've found that there aren't really any practical dumb ones. There are a few models, but they're more expensive and have lower specs, cheaper panels, fewer menu options, etc.

Overall, the smart TVs are going to be cheaper/better because the company plans to make money on target ads, data mining, etc. Just don't connect it or enter a wi-fi password. Sadly that's where we're at now.

Well, if you're on desktop and you don't mind installing scripts on your browser, there's a Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey script. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/141704

Edit: wrong link

Not even gonna lie. I'm going to try this.

I think in the early days it was because most here were left-leaning or libertarians, but now that the general public is starting to move in, it's more neutral/slightly negative.

I dual boot Kubuntu ~~22.04~~(edit: 23.04) on the SD. Using a Pinnacle 801e TV stick and NextPVR for viewing.

The TV stick does most of the heavy lifting, CPU usage was really low. Drivers weren't an issue. It's already supported in the kernel.

I just got sick of that damn hedgehog struttin' around like he owns the place.

This seems kind of puzzling at first, as someone buying a 7500 is most likely to want integrated graphics.

But on the other hand, this could be AMD's way of selling higher spec chips with defects. If a mid-range chip has cores or compute units that don't meet spec, selling it as an 7500F is better than trashing it.

 

Craft Computing - Hooooo boy... The nVidia RTX 4060 has been launched to an absolute $hit storm of hellfire from hardware reviewers big and small. And the numbers they're coming up with ARE accurate, but do they tell the entire story? If everything your review is garbage now, it might be time to re-evaluate the way we review hardware.

 

I'm lazy and hate signing up for new stuff, so I'm looking for a provider that offers Lemmy, Peertube and Pixelfed as a package.

So far, the multiservice providers I've found are trom, neat.computer and tchncs.de but none of them really fit my needs.

Are there any others?

 

Lemmy doesn't seem to allow uploading them natively, and it's hard to create a Mustangs Crashing or Idiots in Cars channel without an easy way to attach video.
