Borat is canonically from Kazakhstan, which is a real-life country.

See, I think this is the inevitable and indeed, intended outcome of the current administration. Corporate elites find capturing and corrupting state and local governments to be far cheaper, so their goal is to break up the US federal system into smaller parts and then go around buying entire towns/cities/states until eventually we have an official aristocratic dictatorship.

The biggest issue with the scenario even as you describe it is the extremely high likelihood of war between various states over things like aid, trade disputes, and sheer resource wars as e.g. Colorado runs out of water and Oklahoma continues to have no money and becomes desperate at the loss of federal funds.

Ah, you're right. Seems like the market is valuing the VRAM

If you mostly just want more VRAM, maybe a used 6700 XT would be better? They come with 12GB of VRAM

Free-to-play refers to a specific type of game distribution model where the game itself is free, but it includes microtransactions, an optional subscription, or both.

Free Software is software that is given freely to the world in its entirety, source code included. It's different because of the complete lack of profit motive, in most cases.

Conclusive proof that D is faster than C, 2025

He has a fancy current gen MacBook Pro that he uses for his stuff. Then when it's lesson time he whips out a windows 95 netbook and a daisy chain of adapters from VGA to thunderbolt.

I mean at that point you gotta admire the tenacity

Ext4 is gonna be the fastest for general daily use. The extra utility of copy on write filesystems is stuff like efficient snapshot backups, optional compression at rest for your files, and really really fast copy operations.

AMD's drivers are fully FOSS and built into Mesa, whereas Nvidia's are closed source, so yes, AMD GPUs are more reliable and less of a hassle on Linux. However, Mint makes dealing with Nvidia drivers easy, so it's honestly your call there.

I think the best we can do is post on the Unix shell bboard system and request an update to the Lemmy version.

Yeah, it's been slow. Maybe we can get them to update the Lemmy version while they're at it. Lots of performance improvements in newer versions

Depends on their musculature

Here on Lemmy, I think the number of Linux users is in the thousands, not dozens.

Can confirm

It supports GoG, Epic, and Amazon, but it also supports installing games manually, which has worked for literally everything else for me so far.

I used to use Lutris, but in the last year or so Heroic got so good I stopped ¯(ツ)/¯

Meh, I like Heroic better personally. It's a preference thing at this point between the two of em IMO

1,028 movies

517 shows (20,702 episodes)

Shows are all 1080p or lower except a couple seasons of select shows in 4k. Movies are 4k HDR when it's available, otherwise best quality I can find.

I use Jellyfin because of the client apps and FOSS nature.

I tend to prefer HEVC/h.265 encodings for the strong trade off between player compatibility and smaller size for the quality level, but h264 and AV1 are also both in my library. I don't reencode anything except through the Jellyfin server transcoding.

It's from Tyr, the Norse god. Originally closer to Tyr's day, hence the odd spelling relative to the pronunciation.

Likewise we have (W)Odin's Day, Thor's Day, Frigg's Day, and Saturn-Day. Of course there's also the Sun's day and the Moon's day.

I don't play MMOs anymore (nothing can satisfy me like City of Heroes used to), but just wanted to chime in to say I love your vintage anime character names.

The issue with the line of thinking you're espousing is that without evidence, you're suggesting a more complicated cause than simple chance.

Like yes, it is possible that somebody or some group lined all of these things up in advance, but it's also entirely possible that there's a ton of noise out there on the internet and that those with nefarious interests just signal boost the noise that benefits them.

Think of all the millions of random schizo-posters out there. You just pick whichever makes the right sounds and boost them. No need to invent the crazy when there's crazy on tap.

This. I use symfonium for my audiobooks. Great app.
