Oh wow, thats incredible! Looks like I have my Sunday project now.

Is it dynamic, or does it use the existing Nvidia Optimus utilities?

I’ve tried what popOS had around 6 months ago, and it wasn’t what I wanted. I needed to manually launch apps with the GPU. I want it to work like it does in windows where when the igpu gets too much load it dynamically switches to the dgpu.

The only thing keeping me on windows is the Nvidia GPU in my laptop. If Linux got actual dynamic GPU switching support I would delete windows and never look back.

No, because I’m Canadian and our healthcare system actually cares about us. When I donate blood I know that it’s going to a person that needs it and they they won’t be saddled with debt for the rest of their life.

What a garbage article lol. The only two arguments I can pick out are 1. Old steam games haven’t been updated to work on macOS and 2. Some games require 3rd party launchers. I think the author was just angry that his mac dropped support for a 20 year old game.

Those people probably saw their homes rise in value 10x over their lifetimes. They’re not stuck renting shoeboxes for $2000 a month like the rest of us.

IMO threads should be defederated on principle. Having a massive and evil corporation like Facebook here goes completely against the spirit of the protocol.

If you really wanna stay private, wouldn’t it be better to use Monaro? You won’t have to worry about all the limitations of the physical world, and on top of that you’ll get 10% off. It seems like the overall better option compared to mailing cash.

I am forced to use instagram, because that’s all anyone my age uses to communicate. I’m in the process of setting up matrix bridge so that I can be done with that app.

This is not relevant, but I’ve been looking for a chair like this forever. Does anyone have any idea what it’s called, or where I would find it?

Canada, specifically Alberta. I would say that it’s better out east or on the coast, but housing over there is even worse than it is here.

I was recently on a group hike with a university club, and an Austrian exchange student kept talking about how good life in Austria is. He attends university for free, lives in a vibrant city with great public transit, and with affordable housing.

My city has unaffordable housing, shit transit, and an inept local government. We are staking our future on oil prices constantly going up. The last time oil prices dipped was catastrophic, with mass layoffs and unemployment in nearly every sector.

On top of this we are being hit extra hard by climate change. Last summer I couldn’t go outside because of wildfire smoke, and this year is going to be even worse. Every year there’s less and less water, to the point where year round drought seems like an inevitability. Our politicians are climate change deniers. The people who elect them couldn’t care less, and cry about any measures taken to mitigate it’s effects.

I don’t want to be stuck paying $2000 a month for a studio apartment as the climate around me slowly degrades, and my politicians try their best to turn us into America.

A sizeable fraction of the students I’ve talked to about this has or is playing around with the idea of leaving. Austria is just the first country that came to mind, but I would take almost any EU country if the opportunity was offered.

In my experience the latency on Bluetooth mice and keyboards is so low that it doesn’t matter. Most people who aren’t playing in like the top 1% of their game should be fine.

My main goal as a pirate is getting stuff for free, and I would reckon that the majority of pirates are the same.

I was really into skiing when I was younger, and would go every weekend with my buddy and his dad. I tried to outrun them, fell, and tumbled. My shoulder was very badly sprained, and I couldn’t use it for like a month. Now from time to time it flares up again, and the pain comes back for a few hours. The shoulder is also much easier to sprain now, every time I fall it’s out of commission for weeks. I went to my doctor, who told me that nothing is broken and there’s nothing he can do about it.

This article says that the fee applies to every installation of a marketplace.

Why did you editorialize the headline from “atrocities” to “resistance”?

I only use the play store to keep critical apps (banking and security) updated. Everything else comes from Aurora.
