Most people with jobs can’t afford to just quit. Also the job market at the moment is insane.

Ohh, maybe a little bit of pud

Absolutely not, nothing good can come of this. All youre doing is giving more power to Apple/Google to control everything youre allowed to do on your device. You now have to have an approved phone, with their approved Operating System, apps installed via their approved app store, an approved browser… Etc etc.

That digital ID stuff is horrible as well, they already tested it during covid with the checkins nonsense.

Except they’re wasting tax payer money, which is shitty.

I hope at least it helps reduce pressure on kids that they need social media from their peers, it can be a pretty bad place to be (regardless of age really).

Thats about all the good from it, my fear is everything else that comes after. Mainly that they’ll force devices to be linked to a person, which means you’ll need a way to have approved devices that can access sites etc, which means you can only use a browser that has device attestation, which means no more free and open ecosystems of applications or operating systems (LineageOS, GrapheneOS, etc)…

Fuck all this.

No, but you’ll need to descale it pretty regularly if you have hard water. They start off looking nice, but end up looking trash after a while.

When I upgraded my GPU last I tried for the first time since ATI was a thing to leave nvidia and go AMD. I tried to get a 6900XT but just had endless issues with drivers, which I was surprised about because if you believe a majority of Linux users it should have been flawless - it was not. I had endless issues with drivers and games running badly. I caved and returned it for a 3070ti - trust me I tried a lot of things.

Anyway, I’ve since tried AMD again and upgraded to a 9070XT and the transition this time has been absolutely flawless, even keeping the same install (CachyOS has a guide to swap from nvidia to AMD).

This is all to say, don’t believe the hype around AMD but at least give it a try and don’t feel too bad if it doesn’t work out for you. Ultimately both nvidia and AMD have been improving significantly over the years

Bestagons, Roll out!

wait…

Yea I wouldn’t be too concerned with trying just because you have an Nvidia GPU, I’ve been running it for years and haven’t had any show stoppers. Now is probably the best time to give it a go.

Accenture… There’s your answer. Absolute scumbag company. KPMG, DXC… All those massive companies run huge con jobs on any of those Government contracts. Wouldnt be surprised if they claimed they had 20 people working on it, but it was only 2 full timers.

Thats quite the runway. That helps them focus the attention on Wayland specific issues to get it more up to speed with X11.

I’ve noticed Zorin does a lot of marketing and it comes in waves, you won’t hear anything for months then it’ll be everywhere for a few days.

There’s a dad joke in there somewhere

I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed in the price. From what I’ve read, and watched, its not going to be competitive like the Deck - it’ll be more expensive than the current consoles. I just have a feeling people are underestimating it this time around.

I remember you could customise your character the same way in the files in GTA 3

I really hope it won’t be a case of requiring a Steam Machine with SteamOS on there for this to work.

Awesome. I really needed this about 5 years ago, but I’m glad they’ve added it for sure.

Ffmpeg is definitely in there too

At least be scientific about it:
