    Twitter is very much active, it is the first place all political discussions happen. It is where the Israel attacks unfolded. It is where every big figure has an account and share their viewpoints.

    It is also where you often see two sides having very different viewpoints argue, something in which it is unique - since by design it tries to allow different ideas even if you don't agree with them.

    But not so with Lemmy - which is extremely left centric, and harbours so much hatred against people, censorship, and the ostrich syndrome of burying you head in the sand, that this post to censor Elon and this amazing claim that Twitter is dead gets so much attraction. Case in point how I predict when near 100% accuracy that this comment will be voted down and buried.

    I mean yeah. I mean wtf.

    I mean, if I install something compiling from source, I would not expect anyone else to manage it, right? I mean why would anyone expect that flatpak snap etc. all get managed automatically, they even forget how they installed something, it is so ridiculous.

    Well I did, but the community in Lemmy is suffocatingly left leaning for me. So I had to go back to Reddit for fresh air. (Never have I thought I'd go back to Reddit because some other community is even more left, but here we are.)

    The topic was first amendment. Stay in context. Either acknowledge that it's not a good argument, or accept that they are "the same as drag show" within that context.

    Not even sure what the Jesus thing is about, but I suppose everything is being allowed under the pretext of first amendment so why not. It sounds like an enactment which is a - what did people call it - an "art form".

    It's sad to see the 100500th confrontation between the people who have never contributed to the kernel, yet they want to deprive others of using their existing GPU with Linux and instead force them to buy a new GPU. This screams of of being elitist and haughty but I just don't care any longer. Too tired of hatred, aggression, animosity and verbal attacks. This has really propelled Linux, oh, wait, it's only shown what kind of people represent Open Source.

    Yeah, I am not woke enough to boycott something because what someone donated to. In fact, I'll probably give it a try just to negate the cancellation effect that will inevitably follow in the wake of that article by bigots who call others by that name.

    CEO donating to what's cause is ideology that should be separated from you assessment of the product.

    Who is banning such shows? Nay, why, let's all also make lap dances and pole dancing available to kids in school. Sure they are art forms and first amendment applies there too. /s

    Manjaro is a really good distro to start with. It has very nice defaults including the correct zsh plugins. Should make your transition to Arch whenever the time comes very smooth. It does have a bad reputation because they don't seem to manage it well (e.g. keys keep expiring), and the said defaults are implemented in a very hacky way (if you see the code). Also they follow a delayed release which is really unnecessary given Arch is stable already; and in fact the delay can cause issues if you use AUR (which you will, eventually discover and learn about and love).

  • As SSD is getting cheaper, I find myself keep thinking that I should buy a bigger one. But this isn't really a decision based on actual need - and I can tell my mind is playing tricks to convince me that "you need to get it because what if you want to install a lot of large games". I'm thinking may be a reasonable criteria instead is to see my current utilization, and buy one only if the utilization exceeds a percentage - say ">80% disk util=> buy a new one" as a rule? What is your criteria to get a bigger disk?

    As I play Diablo 4, I see it take up ridiculous amount of VRAM, upwards of 20GB. The game doesn't have very good control over VRAM management, and I think it just doesn't free up any loaded texture if the VRAM size is large. I use Lutris to run Battle.net client and Diablo. Is there any way I can limit VRAM available to it from Wine, DXVK, or Lutris?

    Are search engines able to index Lemmy? I still keep seeing all search engines link to Reddit, but nothing from Lemmy is linked in organic search results. I'm expecting big push towards Lemmy to happen when Google returns Lemmy links.

    3090 or 4090

    I have an RTX 2080ti. I still play in 1080p 60Hz, and the 2080 is plenty. But I'm looking to train some ML models, and the 11GB VRAM is limiting for that. Thus, I plan to buy a new one. Also I don't want a ML only GPU since I don't want to maintain two GPUs. Since I'm upgrading, I need to think of future compatibility. At some point I will move to at least 2k, although still I'm not bought into 4k as any perceivable benefit. Given all these, I wanted to check with folks who have either card, should I consider 4090?
