and while we had constant outrage from Recall, I assume we’ll hear nothing about this from people

I knew Topaz was getting shitty when they stopped developing their Linux version of their software, this just confirms it. Too bad, it was a decent product.

I like the AI tag idea. I’m someone who has what I’d call a noderate approach to AI, not an AI bro but any means but I’m also okay with some things built with AI if they’re done with care. If others don’t want to see it, fine, then that’s what a tag could be useful with. However the fuck AI/slop comments on something that admits to being AI is annoying to me. (We know it’s AI, they literally said it is).

If it becomes too much content, then yes would be okay with bi-forcating the community, buy only after it becomes a problem.

I like how aAanah Pearce put it. (Summarized) GTA online makes obscene amounts of money, like crazy amounts. Personally I’m not someone who wants to spend money on online, but others do. When you think about it, rockstar is able to build things like red dead redemption 2 thanks to the online players. Games do cost money to build, and it’s directly thanks to online players that they’ve had enough money to build these games for us.

I like this take. Is GTA Online slimy? Probably, and it can even lean on greedy. But people still pay for it, and thanks to them rdr2 and now gta6 were funded. The fact that GTA 6 has a single player experience proves they’re still committed together single player narratives, but at the end of the day they need to fund them. So thanks online players for funding our single player experiences.

Man discovers feature that has been around since Windows Vista, and decides to write a ragebait article about 20 year old technology.

Seriously Chinese models and chips right now are because the sudden bargoes told them they couldn’t keep relying on us tech. The us has been doing an exceptional job at convincing governments and people that they should not be dependent on the US, as we apparently will rugpull at any moment.

Of course, welcome to the Linux community!

Exactly. It was so cool. Now I just look at my old Home devices in anger.

It was annoying enough I saved it, I highly recommend starting some sort of docs setup so future you can remember how you fixed things. This fixed it for me, granted I was on pop but both Ubuntu based so same layers underneath.

Audio Crackling

You can fix this by increasing the minimum audio buffer size, which, in turn, will increase the overall audio latency.

It’s not good for real-time professional audio recording, but it won’t hurt the general gaming and multimedia experience unless you use a very high value to the point it leads to a noticeable desync with video. Test with a greater minimum quantum

This takes effect immediately, but it won’t persist across reboots.

This worked for me

pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.min-quantum 2048

Increasing the minimum quantum permanently

The default is 1024.

cat << EOF > ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/fix-crackle.conf context.properties = { default.clock.min-quantum = 2048 } EOF
systemctl --user restart pipewire wireplumber

You can revert this by just deleting the file. Alternative method

This will improve the handling of low-latency audio at the expense of overall higher CPU usage and with that, power usage.

sudo kernelstub -a threadirqs reboot

Which distro? I had a similar issue

Seeing how it’s a trillion dollar company, I think they can spare the few pennies to renew a cert, even 50 years later to keep the “lifetime” license going for everyone. They’re not asking for new features or individual support. We’re all saying it’s a cert. Take the few minutes to renew it.

That’s been the oil company’s strategy constantly. Repress the technology as king as they can until it’s inevitable, and then all of a sudden their green and eco friendly

This isn’t that some architecture isn’t supported or there’s some new unseen dependency that failed, it’s a cert expiry. Something that happens millions of times per day and can be completely automated.

Welcome to the other side. Breathe the free air again

That’s all it is, which is why it’s so obvious they just want people to subscribe now. Very issue is the smallest thing they could do, and they can’t be bothered.

Folks tell your Mac friends about Libre Office

Hey sounds like there’s some optimization to the government that can be done right there…

Sorry I was with you, but I take issue with the work an extra hour to meet a deadline. I did that just this week even.

We have a deadline, we had time for us allto get it done, but one member was doing things his own pace. That’s okay, but he needs it done by this date. I start checking in more and more regularly, he says it’s fine and he’ll get it done. Well it is Friday and it’s due Monday, and he says that he guessed it was harder than it was, and he didn’t have crucial component done. To which I said I’m sorry to do this, but it’s due Monday, let me know how I can help but sounds like you’ll need to work over the weekend.

I’m huge on work life balance, but if you’re slacking at work and dragging down everyone else, damn right I’ll ask you to work late. I’m not a manager so I can’t do reviews, but as a lead it is my job to make sure things get done on time, and if I don’t push one person, the the whole team is at risk when layoff season comes around

Never thought we’d be rooting on Big Porn to help save integrity of the internet, but I’m all for it. They brought us HD, 4K, VR, now let’s go save the rest.

I feel you and that’s where I worked actually for my short time there. In reality, the hotel and third party systems are both ancient. Sure they get rewritten, and things get upgraded, but it moves at a glacial pace because anytime an update happens everyone needs to sign off on it. Even the “API”, last I worked there, was still SOAP if I remember correctly, and while we did our best to make sure what you were booking was correct, we were beholden to the ancient infrastructure below. So it’s not malice, but it is rather hundreds of small tiny issues that propagate and bubble, each of which usually require everyone agreeing on the implementation change, and all result in the customer being pissed at the front desk.

Long story short, when you add a middleman there’s an entire layer of complexity added, and so I recommend skipping that added complexity and booking with the hotel.
