I remember these guys coming to my school and dumping a bunch of sand on the table. It was supposed to be impressive or something. They were sold as exiled monks who just wanted to be holy and practice their religion. It was dumb. The world wasn't going to be worse off without their sand art and if they wanted to do it and we cared so much they could do it here, but it didn't seem reasonable at the time that China was banning sand art or quietly humming to yourself. I found a video of the Dali Lama and didn't see a man with sacred knowledge. The idea of picking some random child to be the pope of the mountain was never sufficiently romantic enough to make me care.

It's like the people who say China was oppressing them for doing yoga in the park. "That's all we were doing, I swear". You've got to be a certain kind of person to buy this.

I'm going to Cuba just as soon as my passport comes in. I'm so done. There's not much left to save here.

// as an aside, I just watched the last of us. Great show, but this sort of world isn't what people here think people would be like after the apocalypse. It's how they think they already are. It's not just the government that's the problem. There's something wrong with people. They are stupid, pig-headed, servile, fantasy minded people who hate and fear everything and everyone but their masters. The whole lot of them, and there's nothing to be done about it.

This is not the way brother. Come with me. I will show you the way.

The web should be broken into nooks of a thousand gardens. The superficial web should be entirely smashed. The majority of the web should be crazy, personally hosted websites off of someones personal computer. There should be no more cloud, no more server farms. We should land an artillery shell into the middle of google's, facebook's, etc, warehouse and see what happens.

It's a sin to speak that name in vain

Steam and emulators work great but somethings are more complicated. As far as games your confined inside the steam environment unless you're willing to do extra work.

It doesn't contain nuclear components because we defined it to be outside of the definition of nuclear components. Just like the US isn't involved in gain-of-function because it would defined beyond the definition. That's how they smugly say their bullshit thinking anyone else is going to play their game

"I, as most people, assumed the banks weren't interested in playing stupid games after 2008"

I don't remember that being the common consensus.

It's insane Linux is still at 2%. There are distributions that are more user friendly than Windows. They come with preinstalled tools that meet user needs you didn't even know existed. Linux, as it stands today, is better than Windows in every category, not even considering all of the reasons to not use Windows. So why is Windows still dominating the PC space? Maybe because this shift in layman-utility is only a few years old, you often have to go out of your way --requiring the knowledge of how to install an OS -- to use Linux, pre-builds mask the cost of Windows and remove the choice, and a general bias against the unfamiliar.

Imagine how it would be if 55% of the press followed the same line.

 

I just found out about it the other day. Its literally p2p file sharing. You can let people visit designated directories on your local file system and go visit theirs. Its fast and personable. They even have an AOL IM thing going on. I found out about it because they've got a lot of music and its relatively difficult to find good music torrents. I thought it was basically transmission or another torrent client, but its totally different. Linux Mint has the FOSS client Nicotine+ in their repository. The whole process was quick and easy. Find me there under the same user name.

 

I'm playing with steam with the latest version of proton on Linux Mint 21. Kernel 5.15.0-56. RTX 3070, last generation am4 R7 1800X.

Certain games crash for no apparent reason, requiring a hard reset.

The two most recent games with this issue were Horizon Zero Dawn and Remnant: From the ashes. It doesn't seem to be related to anything. It's not related to high load or load in, though sometimes it correlates other times it will just crash while nothing is happening.

I think it might have something to do with the Vulcan shaders. Both of the named games take an unusually long time to process them. With Horizon Zero Dawn it can take up to twenty minutes and the processing itself causes the CPU fans to ramp up.

I checked Nvidia's website to make sure I was using the most recent driver. It shows 525.60.11 as the most recent, which is what I'm using. The recommended open kernel version simply doesn't work, but closed works just fine; and I have no reason to think it's a gpu issue.

I don't know if this is a solvable issue or if its something that has to be dealt with.

On a side note: how do you get the resolution you want? I have a 4k monitor but my display is set to 1080p for readability. There's upscaling, but that upscales the game. The option to go above your system resolution is not available. So the only real solution would be to set the display to the hardware resolution and put my nose against the screen in order to access the game. It seems like such a weird hindrance. The hardware is there, but for readability sake you're stuck at 1080p
