After much failure with trying to get my #haskell #sdl2 project running with #nix, I find the workaround is to use an environmental variable to set SDL_RENDER_DRIVER=software and skip using drivers entirely, I guess?

@someodd the mess with the drivers is a single thing that gets me off nix and esp. nixos )=

@rticks I find it hard to imagine how this would work. Can you ground this in some example for “AI” tech discussed in the article above?

@rticks would you be fine with them if they trained only on legitimately produced curriculum? So yeah, people who want to be artists can pretend to be artists (or, rather, just be curators in this specific niche of “generative this and that”) - would it be a fair play?

What's your 24.04 codename prediction? 🔮

The first half of the new name appears to be 'Noble', but the animal is (as yet) unknown. Are we getting a Noble Natterjack? Nightingale? Nabarlek?!

@omgubuntu I’m yet to see a resource monitor that shows CPU usage on a something like a spectrogram.

Separate windows make it difficult to gauge system load.
Line charts are too noisy, making it difficult too.
Let each core have its own track, but make them correlated in time.

Samuel Oakford: Full statement from UN spox on Israel directing the evacuation of northern Gaza within 24 hours. UN says it would impact 1.1 million, impossible without "devastating humanitarian consequences" and "strongly appeals for any such order, if confirmed, to be rescinded." @israel @palestine

@Sherifazuhur @israel @palestine Fortunately there is a way out. Namely for the murderers to come out. If they are truly stand for their people, they can make the difference there.
Unfortunately, they have turned into a death cult.
The lack of hope is suffocating.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @xs4me2 @snack @susurros @palestine No need to negotiate. Just release them.
And… you wouldn’t face this problem if you wouldn’t take hostages in the first place.
Also, none of this would happen if only they could’ve stopped themselves from going on a massacre raids (plural!). They don’t give a fuck about their civilians (more than they make good meat shields). Let’s stop pretending they’re fighting for their people. They proclaim as much, but their actions are more consistent with them having a good time before entering their glorious heavens.

@islamopostmoderne @GhostOnTheHalfShell @xs4me2 @snack @susurros @palestine You do understand that “winning a popular election” and then going genocidal does NOT do any favors for this side?

I’m pretty sure that the elections were rigged AF (per usual), but, gosh… people really want me to side with the hawkish factions.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @xs4me2 @snack @susurros @palestine Didn’t meant to pick on you personally. The Bibi angle I haven’t explored yet (and they guy is slick as whatever). Israelis tried to kick him in balls^W^W out, but (with the “help” of some pro-palestine factions!) failed quite spectacularly (in a bad way).

Have they fixed the bugs in Spotlight so that it will actually find all the files that contain a word you’re searching for?

Probably not, but at least the search bar has been made more rounded, so not finding the file you were looking for will be more aesthetically pleasing.

@boilingsteam > “Being candid, we have a few places to grow,”

The things that count for “candid” those days…

People were screaming bloody murder when trying to get on the ROCm platform and being welcomed with bugs and deficiencies. And candid (not) borderline gaslighting.

They need to step their fucking game up and get to the business end of things if they want to ever get some of the Nvidia traction. Just take a look at nvda stock, then look each other on the eye and candidly say “we’re fucked up extraordinarily, let’s put extraordinary effort to fix things in compute”.

And yes, I wouldn’t touch a green card with a 2m pole. But I’m a midline gamer, not a frontier researcher.

@rml @alcinnz By the “Betteridge’s law of headlines” the answer is NO.

Or, “negligible, compared to orders of magnitude difference to emissions by industrial processes, transportation and “natural” sources”.

Ugh I really want to short Unity, but I cannot believe that they’ll actually stick to this for more than another couple of weeks, so it seems like the second I did that, it’d bounce like crazy when they said “oops”

@glyph - Short Unity!

  • But the outrage is so great, they may backpedal.
  • Long Unity!
  • They’re so indebted that VC may force that down their throats.
  • Short Unity a little!

Quite an irony seeing people commenting on a Musk-bashing article about "ugh, this guys again". Yes, he will be "again and again" precisely because people like you can't hold themselves from leaving their useless "ugh" in the comments.

Same with Trump and all this "oh horrible mainstream media propping him up". Yes, it sells. Because you keep reading it and having tantrums about it.

(I'm not complaining btw, I'm resigned to human nature being what it is.)
