Should I use a rolling distro?

Currently, I use Debian on my server. I have an Intel Arc GPU that I use for transcoding, however hardware encoding doesn't work. I am able to get a slight performance benefit from decoding, but encoding would be much better. I have an A750 in my desktop (not server), and was able to get hardware acceleration working, but only...

Are you saying that it does work with open suse tumbleweed with the stock kernel?

I havent run opensuse much as a server but am always looking at it and Arch.

Probably going to switch to Arch eventually because the arch wiki is just the best docs I've found.

If you're not relying on say a closed source driver that needs to compile for each kernel update you should have no issues there.

If you set up btrfs snapshots to run on updates then you could always just roll back if there's a bad one. That's how my arch laptop is set up.

Personally wouldn't use Debian testing over arch or tumbleweed though. I think there's something to be said for being on the same packages as the maintaners and not a testing version.

You mean the Sinister hand? Highly suspicious. Why not use the Dexterous hand? Surely that would work better for manual tasks.

AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants (www.bbc.com)

an AI resume screener had been trained on CVs of employees already at the firm, giving people extra marks if they listed "baseball" or "basketball" – hobbies that were linked to more successful staff, often men. Those who mentioned "softball" – typically women – were downgraded....

You might if it was a lower level position and you had like helped run your team or something like that. Or maybe university sports. I had hockey team and my high school band on my resume until I had real experience. Talk up things like working with a team and our fundraising stuff. Proves you probably aren't a complete antisocial weirdo at the least.

I dunno it doesn't really say does it? I kinda just skimmed it they could be fairly low level out of college type jobs.

Alcohols the default legal one because people can brew it in any jug with some yeast and sugar. If it were invented today it wouldn't have been legalized. And the attempts to prohibit it went very poorly and of course show us why all prohibitions like that do is funnel money to criminals and poison people.

Well there's some theories that they really started pushing the drug war as a way to criminalize minorities and political groups like socialists and antiwar protesters. Also probably alcohol companies push it now. Like they changed the name from cannabis to marijuana to make it sound more foreign. And the CIA helped start the crack epidemic.

I've also heard that lumber companies wanted to shut down hemp stuff too.

But cannabis is legal in Canada now at least and I think well see psychedelics legalized here eventually.

It isn't mostly used by minorities it is mostly used to target minorities. Though people in poorer conditions tend to have worse trouble with addiction due to lack of safety nets and people who are on the streets more are going to get busted more. Like no one is going to bust me if my buddy brings over an 8ball of coke and we snort it all up in the basement.

And I remember the quote its from Nixon's aid. But I remember trying to verify it once and not finding anything conclusive.

I remember my eritrean friend telling me the cops here used to to stop his car and do body searches on them and everything I mean he was dealing crack and had guns but they had no probable cause for the searches it was definitely just because he was black. They would never do that to me because they don't want to and they know I'd be calling a lawyer. I've definitely driven around with more drugs than he had on him and wasn't even a little worried because I was following traffic laws in a decent car.

Also had a white friend who put himself through college running coke from the big city up to ours. He had a newish little Hyundai never once got stopped or hassled at all.
