Same here except I use a 6600 xt, which isn’t anywhere near as good as your GPU. I’m running medium settings at 4k and it’s fine. It even runs on the Steam Deck, although the graphics are not so good on there. Still, it’s playable and I will probably play there when it’s convenient.
IMO, ultra settings are for people with new, high end hardware and to future proof a game for at least a couple years. It’s not for people running a 2-3 year old rig with a 1080p GPU. Medium and high settings are generally good. Ultra is just like bonus mode for hardcore enthusiasts.
He’s my fun little conspiracy theory. If I could send the CIA to do my bidding, I would have punished him by manipulating him into buying twitter. You can’t nationalize SpaceX because it would signal the failure of privatized space exploration, but you can’t have that idiot out there as a walking national security disaster looking for a place to happen. The only option if he can’t be controlled is to get him out of the way until he retires or another private competitor can become the favorite. Twitter cost him a ton of money and his reputation, exposed him as a fool, and keeps him busy with unimportant bullshit. Everyone just shrugs it off as Elon being Elon. It’s really perfect.
Fuck that. We don’t need some Tesla version of that Kia challenge shit. I happen to drive a Tesla that I bought when Elon was still cool. I would never buy another thing from him (for a variety of reasons, many of them related to the car), but I’m still stuck with what I have because it’s a bad financial decision for me to change the car now. He already has my money and it pisses me off every day. The last thing I need is some anarchist, vigilante twat slashing my tires to “teach me a lesson”. Go fuck up Elon’s shit instead of taking it out on people who just might feel the same way about him as you do.
Also starting next spring, the Al Companion will give "real-time feedback’ on people’s presence in meetings plus coaching on their conversational and presentation skills.
The feature where you can ask a ChatGPT-like bot about the substance of a meeting is sort of cool. As someone with ADHD, it could be useful. The Zoom IQ thing that rates presentation skills is creepy, although I guess it could be interesting to people making sales calls. Still, I don't think I would want these in my videoconferencing app and I would not be comfortable if someone else enabled it for me.
Apple may not be as flashy as other companies in adopting artificial intelligence features. Still, the already has a lot of smarts scattered throughout iOS.
Agreed, but they have to do it this way. Unfortunately, there’s just not enough research when we are talking about major policy changes. That’s in large part due to it being Schedule I. Could you imagine them broadly legalizing it and then new research comes out disproving what we think we know? Doing it this way paves the way for substantial research and much easier access. I’d call it a big win, although it seems we are still a ways off from full legalization.
Unsurprisingly, prohibition was rooted in racism and xenophobia. It was popular among Mexican immigrants. Before long, Texas cops started telling stories about how it incited violence, gave criminals superhuman strength, and bad Mexicans were giving it to American kids. As an aside, I remember a cop coming to school when I was a kid to teach DARE class and he told us the same thing about PCP. I guess some things never change. Then there was the Reefer Madness movie and the idea that Mexicans would get high and rape white women. Prior to all of this, marijuana had been used by white people - as well as others - to treat all sorts of ailments.
I want to talk about our gateway products to open source. You know, that one product or software that made us go, “Whoa, this is amazing!” and got us hooked on the world of open source....
Same. I remember someone telling me about a group of people developing an operating system and giving it away for free because they didn’t like Windows. The idea seemed absolutely wild. It was enough to pique my interest so I bought a box with RedHat 5.2 discs and a book.
LibreOffice is preinstalled in Pop OS, and as someone who loves the idea of FOSS I want to use it, but inevitably I just use Google docs or Office Online. Is it really worth learning? Has anyone successfully incorporated it into your workflow?
I do. I’ve used it for many years - back to when it was OpenOffice and I even dabbled with StarOffice before that. It’s not as good as MS Office but it does the job. I also use Office 365 and G Suite occasionally. It’s definitely a good thing that we have LibreOffice.
Agreed. This poll is hard to believe. There was another one last week saying a majority agreed with the indictment. There’s lies, dammed lies, and polls.
Take this with a grain of salt. A pollster can come up with any results they want if they ask the question carefully.
This is almost certainly something put out by Trump’s team to manipulate public opinion. It’s bullshit and not worth anyone’s energy.
It’s disappointing to see some of the larger subreddits going public with a ‘what’s the point?’ tone. Most are staying private, but some aren’t. As if Reddit doesn’t exist solely because of its user generated content. If enough subs permanently shut down, they’ll be forced to reconsider their API position. Social...
Does it really matter? I feel like as long as we have a good community here or somewhere else in the fediverse, what Reddit does or does not do is irrelevant. The main problem was we didn’t like their policies and there wasn’t anywhere else to go with a decent sized community.
I haven’t personally, but other people have. I make sure to join instances that are proactive about blocking bad instances. Check out the blocked servers at Beehaw.org or hachyderm.io and you will get an idea of what’s out there.
The biggest problem with kbin is honestly quite simple, but I don't people is talking about is the fact that finding the magazines that I'm subscribed to is in Settings > Subscribed, on Reddit, it's literally in the top bar, I don't get why it's buried in settings. Another thing is why is my home page full of posts from...
You can change both in settings. The option to change the default feed is in the main settings. There’s also a little gear icon towards the bottom. Click that and you get options to change colors. Scroll down and you have options to pin the navigation bar and the top bar. Check both of those and it will work the way you want.
It’s already happening. People in farming and agriculture are losing workers and/or having a hard time finding new ones. Not everyone in that industry is Republican so they don’t all deserve to get burned. Not to mention, it drives up prices for regular people when fruit is out there rotting on the vine with no one to pick it. Lake Nona in central Florida is a mess after Disney pulled out. So much new construction has been happening there in anticipation.
DeSantis is a blatant racist and his treatment of the LGBT community is abhorrent. I don’t care what he says or that he appointed that quack surgeon general who happens to be black. He 100% behaves like a white supremacist and gives cover to closeted racists and homophobes who want to hide behind his “conservative” politics.
Does anyone else have multiple accounts while looking for new reddit alts? So far I've got accounts on Lemmy, kbin, and Squabbles and I've been lurking on Raddle, Sqwok, and Tildes from the outside....
I expect there will eventually be a mobile app. I’m new to kbin, but I get the impression it’s sort of at an MVP stage. But I will say the mobile site is excellent. Frankly, both the kbin and lemmy mobile sites are better than the one lemmy app that’s out there. They will all get better in time.
Hello! You may have noticed that the majority of posts and threads in your feed on Kbin are from within the platform itself. This is because the admin has activated Cloudflare DDoS protection which basically slows down requests to kbin, to prevent the website from experiencing downtime or becoming slow to respond....
There are various things that could be done, but it would largely come down to which CloudFlare subscription tier kbin is on and the manageability of all of it. The way it’s set up now looks like a quick fix to address a serious problem. It would take some more thought and planning for a more ideal setup and it may require a more expensive CloudFlare plan. The cheaper plans only allow a few rules and some features are locked. This will almost certainly be cleared up soon.

I think we should (politely) message major hobby subreddits that went public to go private again. It's important to continue the protest.

Have encountered racism, hate speech or homophobia on the fediverse yet?
If so, do you consistently report it and get the feeling that it gets dealt with? Of course there are instances dedicated solely to being human trash
