JustEnoughDucks, to linux in Windows 11 scores dead last in gaming performance tests against 3 Linux gaming distros
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

Well this article is pretty disingenuous…

  1. The distribution “managed by a single person” depends on hundreds of people working on different sofware to keep up. It’s not “one person doing better than the thousands of Microsoft employees combined” implication they are pushing
  2. Windows 11 beat the linux distros by up to 20% in 1% lows which are argued as much more important by most tech reviewers. It wasn’t consistant at all which means that there was a giant margin of error.

I love linux and linux gaming has gotten radically better, but I am tired of tech “journalism” literally just cherrypicking, misleading, clickbait trash.

China is literally a authoritarian state capitalist now lol. They are pretty much fascist. They fit nearly every definition of fascism.

  • Dictatorship
  • Militaristic
  • Expansionism
  • Ethnic cleansling (genocide) coming from a belief of a perceived intrinsic good of a nation/race (Tibetan people, Sichuan, Uyghurs)
  • capitalist “free market” economy until the company hits a certain size/influence and direction can be influenced by dictator’s party
  • Very little regulation, also very little IP regulation which lowers the barrier to entry of an industry

They are communist only by name just like Stalin’s regime was. Hell, the Nazi’s called themselves the socialist party lol. Communists should be looking at them as what NOT to do because they “devolved” into capitalism. It is hard or impossible for the upper class to resist the infinite looking growth and the personal riches that capitalism provides while maintaining authoritarianism.

Laos is slowly going the same way. Vietnam is similar if I remember right.

Communism only seems to have stayed communism in Cuba, but it seems to be working well for them as far as education, healthcare, and CoL. Just like most systems there was a very violent and bloody road to get there.

People are always greedy and always want more. Communism doesn’t allow them to have more and more and so it usually falls apart. Probably will only ever work in tiny communities or “tribes.”

JustEnoughDucks, to buyitforlife in Graceful degradation is where a product degrades in such a way as to maintain at least some functionality for as long as possible.
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

That is a great concept, mostly if the user is also notified that something is degraded so they can use it, but repair it when they have the opportunity.

This does not apply to this flashlight. Working on multiple battery types is not graceful degredation as batteries do not degrade into less batteries and a AA does not degrade into a AAA. Cell packs can become slightly unbalanced or by user error you can put 2 dead batteries with 2 good batteries, but then they will discharge into each other anyway and really cut the lifespan.

Pretty cool feature and handy if you run out of batteries during an emergency, but I don’t think it fits the definition lol

JustEnoughDucks, to politics in The man who leaked Trump's taxes eluded investigators for years but was finally found after leaking info on Musk and Bezos, WSJ reports
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

Even musk paying 30% in taxes is such a misnomer too. He accrued like 80 billion in assets during that time and just borrows money tax-free based off that imaginary asset valuation and can essentially have unlimited tax-free money as his assets appreciate…

JustEnoughDucks, to android in Chrome on iOS and Android will now detect URL typos - The Verge

Inb4 2 years from now:

Google “fixes bug” where “Spotify.com” was autocorrected to “music.youtube.com”

Google spokesperson says “oops silly AI bugs, we will make sure it never happens again 🤞🏻”

JustEnoughDucks, to rimworld in How many hours have you played Rimworld? (Repost)
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

It’s the scale of eliminating 90% of possible responders as “filthy casuals” who haven’t played over 41 full days of rimworld.

JustEnoughDucks, to linux in Hey Linux devs - Build a GUI or gtfo

  • PowerUPP: GUI functional AMD GPU configurator for all voltage configuration, frequency tuning, SoC and memory frequency and voltage tuning
  • CoreCtrl: GUI usually-functional AMD GPU configurator. Fan curves, over and under clocking, power profiles, frequency and voltage tuning

You have to enable ‘amd.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff’ in your boot options, but that is clearly stated in the user guide.

For sound, PAVUcontrol or the KDE volume setting GUI have been able to fix 80%-90% of my audio issues. I haven’t used a command line for audio in a long time.

I agree that GUIs make it easier for mass-adoption but things not working out of the box and having to search for solution is just as much of a Windows problem as Linux. If someone has non-standard hardware, it is always a bigger problem to switch to another system. Windows still will randomly shut off my Yeti microphone input and switch to my monitor with no microphone as the system microphone on boot sometimes.

The difference is in windows for weird setups you have to run obscure possible virus runme.msi from 2015 where linux you have to put in an obscure command that you aren’t sure what it does from a forum post from 2015. The only one that has mostly nailed that down is OSX.

JustEnoughDucks, to gaming in Steam Summer Sale: Hidden Gem/ Recommendations thread
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

I’m going to come in with some actual more hidden gems:

JustEnoughDucks, to jellyfin in Advice on Jellyfin server hardware
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

GPU choice, honestly, is easy as hell right now.

If you have (or will soon have) kernel 6.2 or higher, get an Intel Arc A380.

  • 150€
  • great h.264 & h.265 performance, VMAF scored above 3090 in most cases, especially at lower bitrates. Tests were done at release and drivers have only improved
  • literally the cheapest AV1 encoder GPU available
  • open source drivers
  • less that 100W full load
  • small form factor
JustEnoughDucks, to android in Syncthing saved my ass
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

That’s it, indeed it isn’t rooted

JustEnoughDucks, to android in Syncthing saved my ass
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

Interesting.

Android 12 with syncthing-fork from fdroid does not allow access to the /android/data folder.

I want to backup my downloaded podcasts and whatsapp, but it can’t do it.

Do you have an earlier android version?

JustEnoughDucks, to news in Consumers are so demoralized by inflation and high rates they've given up on saving for the American Dream and are spending money instead, economist says
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

To be fair, the UK is essentially aiming to be America 2.0

Many countries are trending more expensive (Belgium went up 30% house price in 4 years) but the UK is on another level of the wealthy literally owning all property and purposely leaving tens of thousands of houses empty just to spite the working class.

JustEnoughDucks, to android in HMD's Nokia Lumia remake with 108 MP PureView camera and Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor is in development

HMD global

Good to know every component will be cheaper out on to a degree that makes the phone barely last, complete with a thousand software bugs.

Pass

JustEnoughDucks, to android in Sony Xperia 1 VI review
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

Shame that for that price it will only give you 2 years of updates like a 200€ phone.

JustEnoughDucks, to linux in Bazzite ? maybe not for V-rising.
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

Yep, it is also worth to note that 6.9 rc6 (iirc) fixed this issue, and mainline 6.9 should have this issue fixed.

Apparently fixed by adding 1 = sign 😁
