Must be. Once I started having problems with NVIDIA on Linux, I swore off all NVIDIA products and never looked back. Zero tolerance for that nonsense.

What is suffering about that graph?

Eating a plant-based “diet” instead of actual food involves suffering.

If you have no car with which to commute to work in a timely fashion, you have three options:

1. Lose your job, lose your home, and starve to death on the street.
2. Suffer and eventually die from chronic sleep deprivation due to the extreme amount of time required to commute by public transit from a suburban or rural area into a city.
3. Live in an apartment in a city, spend absolutely all of your income on rent, live in constant fear of the apartment manager, and once you're too old to work, starve to death on the street because you could never afford to buy a home for yourself.

All of these involve suffering and ultimately kill you.

Yes, but making changes in my own life (as small as they may be in the grand scheme of things) helps me feel a little less depressed about the whole thing.

Then feel free, but for most of us, making those same changes would remove what little joy there still is in being alive.

Who exactly are we saving the planet FOR?

The plants and animals who didn't create this catastrophe and don't deserve to suffer from it.

Although they all suffer from being killed and eaten by other animals, so I'm not sure it matters very much. Nature is brutal even without humans involved.

By this metric, the highest-impact way to fight climate change is to commit suicide. This doesn't seem like a great message to be spreading…

Yeah, because they don't want to starve. Welcome to capitalism.

This. You can't remember the safe word because there isn't one.

I'm afraid that's not true. Attempting to use an NVIDIA GPU will cause problems. You can kinda-sorta mitigate some of them, kinda-sorta, but not really, and the web is filled with people complaining about said problems.

Mouse? Sure. Those are standardized and interchangeable. 99.999% chance of success.

Graphics card? Wi-Fi interface? Now you've got problems.

You could have said the same for factories in the 18th century.

Everyone who died as a result of their introduction probably would say the same, yes. If corpses could speak, anyway.

Even my laptop has a large-ish display (17 inch). Really not a fan of small displays. Sure, large laptops are heavy, but I could use the exercise. 😄

“Intellectually inbred” is certainly an apt descriptor. The common thread between climate change denial, COVID vaccine denial, and cryptocurrency cultism is that they're all grifts.

Grifters gonna grift.

Who the hell can afford this stuff in this economy?

Well then, if 2016 is any clue, he's definitely going to become president. God help us all.

Even that won't help. You're drinking water either way.

Then it should be marked as such. It's highly misleading to anyone who doesn't know better. Again, you're demonstrating the difference between 5-bit and 8-bit color, not the difference between 8-bit and 10-bit color.

One that's not patent encumbered.

Hold up. That entire image is 8-bit. It's a JPEG image. JPEG can't encode more than 8 bits per channel. Nor can most displays, including mine, display more than 8 bits per channel. And yet the left half of your image exhibits far worse banding than the right half.

The left half looks more like 5 bits per channel rather than 8. You'd see that kind of banding in gradients back in the days of Windows 3.1, when 16-bit color was common. (16-bit color uses 5 bits each for red and blue, and 6 bits for green.)

Trudeau seeking advice from youth on how to make them shut up and stop making a fuss so he can get back to selling Canada out to his billionaire buddies.

Fixed that for you.
