I searched "AMD EPYC 7532" and there are a ton of listings for $150-$200. Are you just regretful that it wasn't like this when you were shopping parts for your homelab?

I agree that it doesn't need to exist, but as far as I can tell, almost no one depends on it directly. The only person using it is the author, who uses it in some other small libraries, which are then used in a larger, nontrivial libra

I apologize in advance because you'd probably prefer text, but this is a very high quality video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjNca1L6CUk The video is segmented into chapters--if you're not inte

Linux is a great way to spend more time customizing your computer than using it. I'm sure there are lots of people in this community that just roll with whatever defaults KDE or Gnome has, but there's _also_ lots of people who con

Do you mean 'run' as in run the community in some sort of administration sense? Telegram cannot be self-hosted (unless I am misinformed..).

It's kind of strange that this clip is making the rounds again. I highly doubt that Miyazaki would have anything nice to say about generative AI, but it's pretty clear to me that the "insult to life itself" comment is re

My understanding was that EAC works in userspace mode on Linux, instead of at the kernel level. So, you can enable it, and it'll block the most easily detectable of cheats, but it's not very hard to bypass. Then again, kernel-leve

Perhaps you included this in your DRM comment, but I think the biggest issue is anti-cheat. Most online games with a sufficiently large 'competitive' element require a kernel-level anti-cheat which won't work on Linux.

It's like Hacktober (where a few YouTube assholes showed a bunch of non-developers how to waste maintainer's time with bogus PRs in order to get free stuff from DigitalOcean) except substantially worse because these issues take lo

It's definitely sobering. I don't necessarily want to make money (gamedev is what I would do if I _didn't_ need to eat) but it would be really cool to get some recognition, or even just have a community of 100 people who _rea

How so? Can it produce a sprite sheet with a believable 'walk cycle' for a 2D character? Can it produce a rigged 3D model? As usual, it seems like we're maybe _almost_ there (if you can generate video, like with OpenAI's

It's totally reasonable, and is also the exact sort of guidelines I would want to establish if I were the maintainer of an open-source project. However, I think it's amusing that the website lists all of these cool reasons why som

That's basically true. One recent 'exception' that happened to me is that, shortly after Baldur's Gate 3 was released, the offline installer would give you a different, older version than what you would get if you instal

Deep within the settings, there's a "Don't show me things like this" button in TikTok. Maybe someone should make a TikTok competitor where you swipe left or right on a video to indicate your approval.

A lot of people on Reddit's /r/SteamDeck report that this notice popped up while they were mid-game on Steam Deck. Often leading to (in-game) death. Last night, I was playing Elden Ring, when suddenly the game screen froze, a

I assume FrustratedMonky's comment was satirical, given that it appears to have been written like an LLM and starts with a "but, but, but" which is how you might represent someone you disagree with presenting their argument.

I respect the idea, but in practice I find that Apple Music sometimes plays tracks from the same album at noticeably different volumes. It's possible (even probable, I guess) that whoever is sending Apple the digital masters messed up,

I used to feel that way. I recently (well, 2 or 3 years ago..) started playing Final Fantasy XIV. I think a lot of MMOs these days have quality-of-life improvements so that you no longer have to “nolife” the game if you don’t want to. For e

I've never tried it, but my impression from other people is that it's unreliable and maybe doesn't even work at all for the newest versions of Microsoft Office.
