I'm a shareholder of $AMD because they worked with Framework to release a modular laptop GPU

Support companies that support right to repair

iopq ,

Book value doesn't take into account future value, wall street value does

iopq ,

I used a similar tool in the past. When I wanted to re-enable something, I forgot which tool I used to disable it, and I couldn't actually get it working ever again

iopq ,

Ask on matrix, there's probably a chat room for your distro

SO isn't bad either, despite lots of old questions

iopq ,

You can, but not 100%

They have solved the anti cheat issue, but the companies now have to ship the Linux fix for it to work with Wine. So understandably some just don't.

All my games work, but YMMV

iopq ,

Nvidia support got better, I'm using it on NixOS with Wayland gnome and games have better FPS than last year, I'm maxing out my 280Hz 1080p monitor with older games

iopq ,

How is that shocking?

I use Linux, Firefox, Lemmy, nano. Why would I change?

iopq ,

I would close my bank account and such to a different bank. It takes literally 5 minutes to open one online.

And yes, I would not work for a company that doesn't support Firefox

I would also keep pestering support of the government website, that one I will have to give to you

iopq ,

But most of those only give you a few bits of data. Like if there's only one technique that succeeded, you might have the same fingerprint as everyone with your exact phone with the rest randomized

iopq ,

When Firefox was just starting to get good I still used Opera with their presto engine

iopq ,

What's the best BSD distro? Asking for a friend

iopq ,

Tensor cores can be used to play chess, generate images, do realistic text to speech, do noise cancellation, content-aware fill, etc.

They are only useless to you and other people with no imagination

iopq ,

I don't need to outplay humans, I need to see the optimal line to analyze it. Chess is still not solved, so Leela Zero is still helpful because it's giving better advice than older engines. Even Stockfish went neural network, but a smaller one that reads deeper. They still can't tell us if the game from the start ends in a draw like checkers.

Killing jobs is good. It's already freeing people from having to write things like promotional emails. Maybe they are sad they don't have a job anymore, but unemployment if 4%, hardly difficult to get a different one. It's not an important job anyway, I wouldn't feel creative to write about a labor day sale or whatever

iopq ,

I still have bitcoins from 2011-2014 some of which I GPU mined. I'm patient. Of course I sold some, but I still have a couple full bitcoins. Not everyone sells the whole amount in one go

iopq ,

To be clear, this is a flaw in RoboForm

iopq ,

You're supposed to move to a different search engine for the market to work. I already have, have you?

iopq ,

I want a federated social bookmarking site. Not for news or discussion of recent stuff, but to keep some good sites in your account and to share with others.

Searching those and getting results with attached upvotes/downvotes would be ideal

iopq ,

It's enough if an alternative reached even 1%. That would still be billions of searches a year, enough to keep them running

iopq ,

You can deferate low quality instances and mods of instances can ban bots that upvote spam

Each instance can have its own theme, like an anime instance that just moderates anime content and can't possibly make judgements on whether the physics content is of high quality

iopq ,

I don't want the latest links, in fact there should be no feed, only search and directories

iopq ,

I guess I'll be missing out for the rest of my life

iopq ,

If it's providing games of skill like online poker, it's actually a very intellectually stimulating game. People have made a ton of instructional videos and many books on the poker variations.

After playing poker professionally I was able to leverage the skills of bankroll management and emotional control to become successful in investing in the stock market.

I held all of my stocks through the entire pandemic to rebound from a loss over multiple years holding tech to a $600,000 profit by buying at the bottom. If I hadn't played poker I probably wouldn't be able to stomach looking at a six digit loss in 2021. I only sold my bonds which I used to buy more stocks at a cheaper price (which was the point of the bond allocation)

iopq ,

You can't go broke with 1x leverage, and I bought $AMD all the way down from $100 to $70

If it went to $50 I wouldn't go broke, if it went $1 I wouldn't go broke. I just would have missed a bigger opportunity

iopq ,

People get addicted to alcohol and caffeine. Should we can those too?

iopq ,

Yes, that's the point, I'm good at combinatorics, probability. These mathematical skills have a lot of carryover

iopq ,

I think we should keep games of skill and pure slot machine strictly separated

iopq ,

Only to the point that you get bored and do something useful with your new knowledge.

People enter tournaments for all kinds of games and those tournaments have money prizes and entry fees. I think it's unfair to single out poker since it's a game of skill.

It just so happens it doesn't make sense to play without even the smallest stakes. Otherwise the best strategy is to go all in with any hand and try to double up quickly (if the chips are free, there's no downside to doing this)

Even like $2 buy in games are much tighter than play money games

iopq ,

It went to $2 in like 2013, close to bankruptcy. But it didn't go bankrupt, and that's all I'm betting on. My point is you don't need to care about where the bottom is as long as you're buying the dip.

Especially if you are just buying $VTI which won't go to $1 any time soon.

iopq ,

Nah, you don't play with stakes that could matter to someone. In my case, our buy-ins in the home game are $28 when converted to dollars and nobody bats an eye at dropping $100

The tiny reward does make it more interesting because you actually care about winning. It's better to do $20 stakes and keep the money than play for $100 stakes and have to give it back because someone was irresponsible with their money

iopq ,

They matter in so far as it feels bad to lose. But they shouldn't matter to your family's finances

iopq ,

What do you mean? My NixOS config files are in a git repository

iopq ,

That's what Krita is, it's intuitive and easy to use

iopq ,

Azure is not tied to windows

iopq ,

But this is actually a windows issue

iopq ,

I use my local machine for neutral networks just fine

iopq ,

That is a much better argument. But I still use it because I finally get different results from bing or Google.

iopq ,

Apple is down too?

iopq ,

I literally can't transfer money to Kazakhstan without paying $50 for a wire.

iopq ,

Banks also use energy, so banks are wasteful too

iopq ,

git is why we can't have nice things

There's many better VCS, but everyone just goes on GitHub and uses git.

I dread ever having to touch it. The CLI is unintuitive, the snapshot system is confusing, and may God have mercy on your soul if you mix merging and rebasing

iopq ,

Free software would be just using freebsd or whatever, it wouldn't be that different

iopq ,

Pijul and similar patch-based systems are a lot better. They match my understanding of independent changes combining. git does the stupidest thing and just compares states - which means it has less information to automatically merge correctly

iopq ,

Pijul, actually

iopq ,

I thought I would miss pay to tap, but then I realized there's another device that supports pay to tap. So instead of taking out my phone to pay, I take out my credit card

iopq ,

Do you want e-ink or would you rather have a Gameboy display? Transreflective LCD can be a lot faster and have better colors. You can even add a backlight

iopq ,

People want phones that prey on personal data?

iopq ,

Nothing is stopping you from doing this on GrapheneOS

iopq ,

Actually, AMD do make phone chips. That is, they design the Exynos GPUs, which are inside some Samsung devices
