Honestly, they should be

Unfortunately, they all seem to be going for more money than a new 9600XT

Probably could run your diesel in vegetable oil made from corn, but yeah.....LOL

Yeah that seems to have much more up-to-date data for the 9060XT and B580 put head to head. Thank you.

Ethanol burns like crap, produces the same or more emissions than gasoline, and generally is a terrible fuel.

The reason we started making E85 was because there was concerns about not having enough gasoline production in the states. Then we discovered fracking, and we started to "drill baby drill".

Electric or Plug In Hybrids are a much better option. You can produce the fuel entirely with solar, wind, nuclear, etc. if you put your mind to it, they're much more efficient, and even accounting for the battery production emissions, they surpass greenhouse gas emissions within a few years of ownership.

Electric batteries are expensive and hard to fix, yes. This needs to be worked on. However, the cost of ownership is much lower, so you aren't "bleeding out" costs over time like an ICE. It's just a big "wham" for a batt replacement.

Also, an electric battery doesn't typically just go completely dead all at once. It loses 10-30% of it's capacity after the first 8-10 years. That means if you had 200 miles of range, now you have 140-180 miles of range. Unless the battery has a fault or the electrical system completely fails, this is fine. Most people drive less than 50 miles round trip for a commute. Even at double that, you still have 1/3 of your batt left.

If you're a two car family, IMHO, one fully electric and one plug-in hybrid is the way to go.

If you're a one car family who takes lots of road trips, plug-in hybrid. If not, all electric.

Phoronix's review is from Dec 2024.

I'm less concerned with them being in a different class and more:

1. Bang for buck
2. More than 8GB of VRAM

I'm more concerned with VRAM than I am performance. My 6600 would be fine for me if it didn't have 8GB

This Texas county, after they "own the libs"

There are communities for things like this. The Lemmy World Community is not the right one.

The fact you simply posted this to one of the largest Lemmy communities, rather than a more appropriate one, shows that this is not sincere, and it's why you're being downvoted to hell.

Literally rule #1 of this community is "Post News Links Only". This is not news. It's an ad.

Lol what is this spam shit? GTFO. Reported.

I use Debian and Mint. As others have said, it's because it just works and I don't have to screw with it.

A scapegoat is someone used to blame as an alternative to yourself. Religion isn't really a "person", but it's often used as a way to shift blame away with a "God told me to do it" and God is considered a person driving most religions.

It's really not that hard to understand what I meant from context clues and, given my comment's positive voting average and your negative one, you seem to be in the minority of not getting it.

"Don't kill women" making "OG Islam" somehow "better" is a pretty low fucking bar.

Nearly all religion is a regressive cancer on society used as a scapegoat to do terrible things.

Or don't. Generative AI is good for specific use cases, but not this massive bullshit people keep using it for.

On some hamberders, I will dine

I hope that camp gets sued into nonexistence

Given that it didn't exist yet, more like an Undertale rip off

Pretty much the same, although I boot my Linux desktop, Linux laptop, and Steam Deck. My whole house besides my wife's PC is all Linux now.

No it's not. It's sad.

As someone from San Antonio, hearing that over 30 children 7 and up got washed away and likely died in a flash flood is heartbreaking.

There are lots of people who are liberal as fuck who live in Texas. We have to deal with gerrymandered districts and a shit ton of rural people who have more voting powers than us.
