Welcome. All praise Lemmy

Nah… Actually… They’re generally good these days. The 12 Enthusiast NUC is an exception. It’s either an ARC Driver bug, a power management issue, or something similar. The NUC 13 series even offer official Linux support

Whatever you do, don’t go 12 enthusiast at the moment.

It seems lots of people (including myself) are having issues with the GPU and Linux at the moment. It only works for some during a soft reboot.

Its probably the same game as GTA V, but with different music anyway, especially judging by the trailer

Yeah… Takes note of everything you listen to, and when… But only when you’re using spotify lol

I stopped using Spotify because it doesn’t integrate well with home automation platforms (only with sonos) and because they wasted 100 mil on Joe Rogan (which made it clear I’m not their target market). I hate apple, but even they pay their artists

I want a service which is a bit more targeted, and its not really worth much. Its not exactly valuable information what I listened to lol (except to other music services)

I agree. I think I played it 10min. It felt like more a university project I recall.

I don’t think honestly he gets enough credit.

If you check SystemD, its a HUGE step up, which is why everyone is using it now (whereas, the old scripts had race conditions, were a pain to write and other issues). Anyone who has written both can tell you how much better things are now…

The fact this issue is happening on both Pipewire and Pulseaudio also suggests it’s more likely a bug in the drivers… It might not be obvious on ALSA directly, but that doesn’t mean an issue doesn’t exist there…

And honestly, the situation before PulseAudio was awful. Audio not working was a common issue, and low latency audio was the least of anyone’s problems. Whereas, these days, because of Pulseaudio, even gaming is a thing now (back then, I even saw issues on tuxracer, and Unreal tournament back in the days).

In regards to setup, most distributions will handle that anyway I’m guessing. So not sure why the configuration process should matter unless you’re in Arch or Slackware? As long as the distribution handles it, it shouldn’t matter. It’d really a non-issue honestly.

I do a lot of middleware development and we’re regularly blamed by users for bugs/problems upstream too (which is why we’ve now added a huge amount of enduser diagnostics/metrics in our products which has made it more obvious the issues aren’t related to us). In practice, very few people have issues with Pulseaudio (I haven’t seen issues since launch). Sometimes as well, keep in mind it can be the sound interface (especially if its USB)

I’d have to disagree with that. It wasn’t perfect and there were issues for many people at the beginning, but it united everything properly.

Before then (in xmms days), don’t forget that audio in apps constantly didn’t work, and the sound servers often conflicted. It was far from a seamless experience.

But, pipewire I agree doesn’t seem to have any downsides and finally fixes from what I felt was the last major issue (low latency)

I upvote because I’m on beehaw… and fairly sure I can’t downvote

Doesn’t help on Reddit that everyone on Facebook uses it and feels like it’s full of lobbyists getting paid to promote their causes in a dodgy way

Funny you mention that, but in a way that’s also true via the same mechanism.

Isn’t the Gates Foundation focusing on stopping diseases from mosquitos? https://www.worldmosquitoprogram.org/en/news-stories/stories/the-gates-foundation-and-the-world-mosquito-program-partners-in-change

Yes… But then more humans will survive by avoiding certain diseases, which as a result, will produce a worse environmental outcome

Every time I’ve gone back to Reddit, I’ve just seen the local communities I used to like getting incredibly right wing with the increasing number of wolf whistles in the comments. Or pro weed nonsense

And honestly, it just felt like doom scrolling and a waste of time. It has grown now to the point it’s just basically the Facebook crowd.

Lemmy is sufficiently busy, and much better quality. And there is more to think about when reading comments

That’s actually my suggestion. Clearly the wife is nuts

The worst part is that a Youtube Premium Subscription costs more than Netflix or other streaming providers here in Australia… And you’re basically paying for ad removal of a metric ton of low quality content (and their music service, which isn’t as good as others I found)

That being said, this might not be true (I’ve seen lots of BS online regarding browsers in the past)

Ridiculous situation?

Are you referring to this post?

It feels like you’re not mentioning something in this post. Either way… Don’t speed in the country either

The problem with Hydrogen, is that its not efficient (fuel cells apparently are only 40-60% efficient). In contrast, batteries are 90% or more efficient (and improving)

So, you’d be wasting 50% of the power generated, and wasting fresh water too… Thats all assuming too that the additional minerals in the water won’t cause extra issues either.

Battery costs keep dropping, and the technology keeps improving rapidly.

If they can get the efficiency much higher, maybe… It also might make sense for long range cars (at the moment) due to energy density

But, in practice, companies like BP and traditional gas companies are the main ones who benefit from a hydrogen economy. Because they can use non-renewable to undercut everyone

Lol. Both sides argue? Most tweets are by a small number of people. Before, right wingers were complaining it’s all bots, now suddenly, Elon pushes dodgy Right wing accounts to the frontpage and you guys reckon it’s not true anymore.

How many people do you know who actually use Twitter? I can only think of one, and fairly sure he left it ages ago.

Twitter is growing in irrelevance. Just because people have accounts on it doesn’t mean they use it either.

Do you really think Twitter is growing? Lol.

Yes Please. Twitter is dead, and we’re just reminding people to go take a look at it constantly. Just let the internet forget about him.

Great, would really love to get a preventable STD from a right wing anti-vaxxer
