    I remember when climate activists were storming this factory and Lemmy users berated me for calling out the fact that Tesla factories and electric cars in general are a fucking disaster for the environment. It's pathetic how easily people are convinced that 10 tonnes of e-waste is the solution to the toxic sludge slowly drowning us all

    Because the idea that America is a "peacemaker" and that Hamas is an ontologically evil party on par with Israel is an easy way out of having to recognise that the US government is actually a barrier to peace around the world.

    Actual brainworm comment. Maybe take a look at the proposals in the Camp David/Oslo accords and consider why Israel was so excited to sign a "peace deal" which have them 80% of the land, 100% of the military control, and total domination of political and economic affairs over Palestine.

    Rarely, but I've contributed to a couple that I use.

    Also, just a note that writing big reports is a valid contribution! It can really help both the regular maintainers finding and fixing bugs, but also gives new devs more potential work to pick up for first contributions.

    Yeah I didn't realise they were rar formats from how they show up on disk - Usually people name.their.torrents.like.this so it fucks up typical file name conventions.

    EDIT: There's a fix. https://unpackerr.zip Automatically unzips these rar containers into coherent files for importing via sonarr/radarr. I suppose you can do this manually with tar if you're brave.

    It's even worse, though. They've all seen the emperor without his clothes - barely able to form a coherent sentence whilst his aides scramble to keep him from mentally deteriorating into a coma before November. Yet I'm watching liberals convince themselves that his PR-controlled twitter is somehow evidence that the president is not only lucid but competent.

  • Normally my *arr -> Plex setup is quite painless, but lately I've had a bunch of imports failing which appear to be multi-part files with a .MKV file in a "sample" subdirectory. Does anyone know if I can sort it so these files import properly? Or how to filter them before downloading? I'd rather a fix if possible because certain torrents don't have many options.

    Sure, I could just google this, and I have! However, the results are a bit confusing: # Plex Documentation "Only Intel and Nvidia" Sure, cool. # Literally every other forum discussing this stuff "Oh yeah I used my [Not Intel or Nvidia chip] and it worked out of the box" So which is it? Because I'm really not interested on supporting Intel, but if getting HW Transcoding Plex requires them then I'll have to consider migrating to Jellyfin.

The location within the utility is at **Device Manager > AMD CBS > NBIO Common Options.** Once set, back out and apply the changes, rebooting your system. You can then confirm that the option has been applied by checking your system monitor of choice (Windows > Task Manager, Linux > Whatever) and checking to see if your available RAM has decreased (indicating greater allocation of memory to the iGPU). # This may not remain applied through BIOS updates, and may cause hardware damage if misconfigured, and may result in an unbootable system if misused or by chance. You may need to reset your BIOS if that's the case, if possible by your system manufacturer.

    Child Polygon2Ds of a nav mesh by default act as obstacles, so the nav mesh avoids them. However, I just want to use the Polygon2D as the source for the nav region *and* remain its own node so I can do stuff like, modulate it when the player hovers over it with their cursor.

    I haven't seen the update come through to my system but since I have a more-than-slightly-borked grub setup, I have a feeling it could be to do with that. As a side note RE: above -- Are people running a kernel newer than 6.5.0-18-generic ?

    I have a Lenovo 14aPH8 (Ideapad 5 gen 8?) which has a high DPI Screen with an AMD 7840HS (780m iGPU). It's giving a bunch of memory corruption when on youtube in fullscreen, or before I reduce the resolution of a fullscreen application (Assetto Corsa Competizione is the only I've tried so far) from the native resolution to 1080p. I previously RMA'd the Laptop due to similar artifacts on Pop!OS, and they confirmed the entire motherboard was replaced. However, the artifacts didn't go away so I tried KDE Neon which *thankfully* didn't have the same issues, until I tried gaming and youtube.On X11, the issues are gone, but as a fan of fractional scaling and touchscreen gestures I'm still using Wayland. While this could be a hardware issue (I can't confirm as the laptop is so new not many people have it, let alone on linux) I'm sure this is software related because it only happens on X11, and I've also seem similar reports by nVidia users on Wayland. Anyone able to signpost me if this isn't something KDE devs can investigate? I know a lot of them are active within the Wayland space so I thought asking here would be a good idea :) *** EDIT: Looks like there's some upstream bug in the DRM with variable refresh rates and/or adaptive sync. Disabling it in KDE's settings seems to sort the problem in Youtube/games. Can't say the same for anyone else tho

    I've installed Pop!OS after getting my Lenovo Ideapad Pro 5 back from the warranty repair. Supposedly they changed the motherboard (which I don't doubt, it was waiting a week for new parts apparently), but even after that I'm still getting graphical errors and bugs when moving between desktops and other window animations. I know X11 can be a bit buggy at best, so it could just be that on top of the newer SoC.

    [Rant] What happened to the UK ISO layout on dedicated keyboards?

    Bit of a rant, but what happened for UK sellers to stop providing support for UK-ISO layouts? At best, you get a bastardised version of the UK layout wherein the usual US layout is preserved (' and " sharing a key, 3 and #, 2 and @) and then the a £ symbol being slapped onto the 3 key to share with #, which is just plain fiddly to use. Sure, I could just replace the keycaps in question, but keycap sellers are just as bad. At best, I've found someone willing to print on UK layout legends onto keys that have already been printed in another (usually US) layout. That, or I get custom caps printed in mismatched colours, profiles, etc. to the ones I already have, which is just as annoying at best, or impossible at worst. It's a first world problem, sure, but the UK ISO layout seems to be utterly dominant in the laptop space that it frustrates me that keyboards aren't shown the same kind of basic attention. I don't even care about the damn £! I just want my other keys to not be hidden behind weird key combos!!
