I’m the administrator of kbin.life, a general purpose/tech orientated kbin instance.
I’m always reminded of the scene in The newsroom, where they have the guy from the epa who essentially says it’s already too late to save us from climate oblivion. They wanted him to calm the message and played down the doom.
That was from 2012.
Nothing has changed at all. Humans are rubbish at dealing with problems that are more than a year or so down the road.
I’ve known six year old children to have more maturity than this. “I’m going to invade Greenland because I didn’t get a Nobel Peace Prize” is what this boils down to.
A literal child is in charge of the most powerful single country in the world.
Peter Backman, CEO of theDelivery.World, said the practice was only misleading if customers were purposely trying to support independent restaurants and takeaways.
That’s some high grade bullshit. There is going to be a subset of people (and I’d argue it’s a growing number) that want to support local businesses and so yes it’s misleading to all those people.
But more than that. A corporate/franchise brand has such a huge value they will sue you if you use it without permission. So if they’re choosing not to use a brand they paid good money to use, it can only be because they want to deceive.
I’d say the ideal situation is that tools are developed library first, then cli or gui as preferred allowing others to pick up the slack and make the other tool (or tools) using the functions in the library.
One of the reasons automation is so much easier on linux than windows is because there are many more cli tools to do things. On windows many tools are gui first and cannot easily be automated.
“Sources close to Rubina’s family, citing eyewitnesses, told Iran Human Rights that the young Kurdish woman from Marivan was shot from close range from behind, with the bullet striking her head,” the group said in a statement.
Shot in the head, from behind at close range. Don’t we have a word for that? Pretty sure we call that an execution.
That’s weird. Whenever I’ve had gpu drivers fail the environment didn’t come up and I would be left at a terminal.
But, they shouldn’t need rescue. The issue is no nvidia driver, but you can still login from the text terminals. Ctrl + Alt + F3, F4 etc etc. In fact when the window environment fails to load it should drop back to terminal.
I have a 3080, so 590 is fine for me. But, I’m sure the legacy one is a dkms. But the process of installing that should be done as part of the install. E.g. you install, reboot
What does lspci -k show for the card in terms of Kernel driver in use, and kernel modules?
Also what does dkms status say?
If the module is installed and showing in dkms status and showing as used in lspci -k, it should be available for desktop environments.
I do agree in terms of effort when things go wrong though. I remember when I was a lot younger and I had no problems just sitting in front of my keyboard finding whatever the latest problem is. Now, I want to be doing things with my PC.
But, a bit of debugging might be worthwhile before doing a new installation.
Did you also uninstall all of the components of the new driver as per the arch site?
Otherwise it’s investigate from the tty as to what driver, if any is in use for the gpu pci device.
Agreed. I just don’t think we (the plebs) can influence our governments in this case. Appeasement is going to be the way most go I’m afraid.
I think in the case of refugees from the US (which I guess is the implication here?). I think most countries won’t accept that. Not because deep down they don’t (or won’t soon) recognize that there might be good grounds for it. But that they don’t want to poke a stick in the direction of what is a very volatile government over there right now. Especially one that has shown they’re not above just invading another country for their own ends.
The UK will especially be unlikely to do so bearing in mind our current leader has done his best to avoid any criticism of the administration and is generally going out of his way to appease the US president. Our next leader (oh I wish I could say it won’t be him) is more likely to side with the US administration AND make asylum harder to claim.
This seems to also be happening a lot in Europe right now. Hence why I say, you cannot count on us. Militarily we can’t do a damn thing, our leaders are doing their best to keep crosshairs pointed elsewhere, and things are only likely to get worse and not better over here.
Yeah. We have our own problems. I’m not going to argue about that at all. But if you want to place our problems even close to the same level as the US situation, I don’t think you’re being rational.
Everything about the State’s attempt to rewrite the entire narrative is a lie. The worst you could say is she was being a nuisance to ICE agents. Last I checked, that didn’t carry a death sentence.
This needs to be a wake up call to all of you (US citizens living in the US).
Yeah, I’ve seen this video and sure the driver was at their worst causing a nuisance to ICE. I’m not convinced that should be crime worthy of a death sentence by an “agent” that thinks he’s a street judge.
What I saw entirely contradicts the narrative the US administration is trying to pedal.
The ICE agent was at no point under threat. Rather than move out of the way of the vehicle (which was turning away from him anyway), he stayed where he was and drew a firearm. It’s clear this move was designed to make them stop and get out of the car. Instead she (and I think in quite a valid way) panicked and tried to drive away. He fired, THEN moved out of the way and fired more. A clear, calculated move on his part.
Objectively it’s an attempt to completely rewrite the narrative to say she weaponized the vehicle, that the agent was run over, or that he was in fear for his life. These are all very obvious lies.
Now, I’m an outsider here. But I have to say this does make me think of other dictatorships and autocrats of the past and present. They need citizens to fear for their lives when they encounter agents of the state. This was true in Germany of the gestapo, and they want it to be true in the US of ICE. If they are successful in protecting this agent. If this does not go to trial (and it MUST be a State trial, for obvious reasons) then I fear this is the reality you will face.
The rest of the world cannot help you. We can only watch in horror as events like this unfold.
I was wondering exactly the same. I mean seems like they’re withdrawing from a large number of UN orgs here.
Are you sure it was dot pitch and not dot clock?
Dot pitch on a crt might make the image look bad (trying to draw onto the shadow mask) but I doubt it would damage it.
Setting an invalid dot clock could damage some crts. But most of the modern (read from mid 90s on) would just go to the power save mode when they got a clock they couldn’t use. The warning did still remain on the xfree86 configuration guides though.
Showing my age perhaps.
I would say, now it’s learning that actually sticking your head in the sand is only ever a delaying tactic. But, if it DID learn that, it’d mean it has surpassed us already.
Yep. I also valid concerns. But those seem to be their next steps. I just wondered if there would be degradation. You wouldn’t even be able to tell until it reached the destination.
Definitely interesting stuff.
I think my question on all this would be whether this would ultimately cause problems in terms of data integrity.
Currently most amplifiers for digital information are going to capture the information in the light, probably strip off any modulation to get to the raw data. Then re-modulate that using a new emitter.
The advantages of doing this over just amplifying the original light signal are the same reason switches/routers are store and forward (or at least decode to binary and re-modulate). When you decode the data from the modulated signal and then reproduce it, you are removing any noise that was present and reproducing a clean signal again.
If you just amplify light (or electrical) signals “as-is”, then you generally add noise every time you do this reducing the SNR a small amount. After enough times the signal will become non-recoverable.
So I guess my question is, does the process also have the same issue of an ultimate limit in how often you can re-transmit the signal without degradation.
I thought we already had that, the NCA? We don’t generally need “federal” level stuff because we don’t have different laws.
There’s some difference in trial process and civil laws (someone can correct me if there’s a real difference in criminal law, I don’t think there is though) between the countries making up the UK. But we don’t have the whole entanglement of State law vs Federal law.
So, there’s no need for anything more than what we already have which only really need to work to bring the regional forces together on serious cases.
