Oh wow. TIL

How are AMD GPUs useful though? Last time I’ve heard, CUDA (and CuDNN) is still an Nvidia-only thing.

that OS turned me off unless it has substantially improved since then

That was my experience with Pop!_OS too. I tried switching to it after finding that Ubuntu has a lot of bloat.

In the end, I went back to Ubuntu, because it works right out of the box - even with my Nvidia graphics card! (only from 20.04 onwards; 18.04 and older versions were problematic)

When I reinstalled Ubuntu, I chose the custom / minimal installation option, and that cut out most of the bloat.

I tried Pop!_OS 3 times, and all 3 times, my computer crashed irrecoverably at some point.

I ended up replacing it.

Looks like downvoters don’t get the joke. I first seen it on the cover of Horrible History.

You can introduce interoperability. I am on X. I can’t go to Bluesky. Let’s say that Elon Musk decides to block me because I said something he didn’t like. He has blocked me before for a couple of weeks. Now, I have more than a million followers on X. I cannot leave without losing them. If I go to Bluesky, I have 10 followers. Interoperability would mean that if I go to another platform, to Bluesky, when I post something on Bluesky, then my 1 million followers on X can hear it.

Sounds like Fediverse’s ActivityPub

So, a bullshit job as per David Graeber?

That’s pure torture to me. I’d rather do something meaningful.

Sounds like the UAC from Doom (2016).

Thanks for sharing😂

Nathaniel Chapman, a designer who has worked at both Blizzard and Obsidian, also added: “The slow grind on something you do not believe in is 10x as soul crushing as crunching for something you care about.”

I felt that

It’s probably a feature, not a bug.

My layman understanding of space is that there is harmful radiation in space already. One of the purposes of astronauts’ spacesuits is to protect them from said radiation.

The conspiracy theory that there’s a small group of evil, rich people controlling the world keeps getting validated.
