  • “Doesn’t help” is a bit unspecific for an actual answer.

    I simply installed nvidia-580xx-dkms and nvidia-580xx-utils and that was all. If you did not already use the dkms-driver package before you of course also need <your kernel>-headers and dkms (but the latter should be pulled as a dependency for nvidia-580xx-dkms anyway)…

    Which automatically asks for the removal of nvidia-open (the standard package for the base linux kernel) or nvidia-open-dkms and nvidia-open-utils that replaced the earlier nvidia, nvidia-dkms, nvidia-utils packages when 590 hit.

    PS: If you still have stuff using 32bit add (you might have guessed the scheme by now…) lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils to replace lib32-nvidia-open-utils


  • nvidia was automatically replaced with nvidia-open (also nvidia-open-lts, nvidia-open-dkms etc).

    Simply installing nvidia-580xx-dkms, nvidia-580xx-utils (and lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils because Steam still needs all that 32bit stuff), which automatically removes the 590-open stuff because of conflicts, should be all you need to do.

    PS: And of course your kernel’s header package if you did not use dkms before… (dkms should be pulled as a dependency automatically)


  • What couldn’t Europe do? They are easily ⅔ of NATO in equipment and soldiers. What the US is bringing is mostly the logistics for force projection over-seas. And they increase the number of nukes from enough to destroy the world a few times to a hundred times. Which is totally irrelevant for Europe defending against a country in Europe (that’s where the relevant parts of Russia are) on European soil.

    People have spend to much time soaking up US propaganda about how they are all paying for Europe’s defense. Just the non-US part of NATO is still on a completely different level than Russia. And the few categories where they can somewhat compete still requires to value every single piece of ancient ex-soviet equipment as equal to modern western stuff. They also spend (in today’s war time conditions) a fraction of Europe’s 2020s defense budget.

    So an actual war with Europe instead of screaming Russian propagandists telling funny fairy tales about being “at war with NATO” for years now is consequence enough.






  • The original post says “[…] I am quite certain that some of the wording was NOT originally written in German.”

    The “Wenn ich mich festlegen müsste…” part however answers the question if it’s a singular or multiple authors. And it mentions one main author who got additional input from someone else which probably got translated via a translation tool. Then: “How do I come the this conclusion? The cumbersome, highly individual style runs through large parts of the text; however, individual sentences differ greatly in style.” And: “What else is irritating? Sentences densely packed with numerical facts, alternating with entire paragraphs of abstract ideological argumentation, almost clichéd; but without clear reference to the facts, as if the facts had been added later.”

    So we have: multiple authors, very different wrting styles, no proper editing to make this one whole text; some expressions probably not originating in German; facts and numbers obviously added independently -again in another style- trying to give it more legitimacy.

    Sorry, but where exactly is this all disagreeing with my comment? So yeah. Calling this whole text an AI translation because of singular sentences and expressions that are very obviously by another co-author, just like the also added paragraphs trying to justify the rest with numbers, is desinformation. That’s what I said. And the very discussion you linked says the same.


  • was written in Russian and machine-translated into German

    Don’t spread such easy to debunk desinformation when the full text is publically available.

    It’s a whole fucking manifest full of ideological anti-technology bullshit but actually well written phrasing- and grammatical-wise. And then there are a few single sentences between whole elaborate sections added in a very different writing style. One set of “we tried to add numbers and fact to give the rambling some additional legitimacy” and a few singular sentences and expressions that sound strange or wooden in native German, including misspellings.

    Claiming the whole text is a translation (and why “machine-translated” even? Just because it’s cool now to use AI?) is idiotic when every native can see instantly that it’s not true. The main author definitely speaks/writes native level German. At times it’s even written overly complex, trying to convey notions of high literature/education.

    There are however also clues to suggest additional authors/editing… with at least one co-authors probably being non-native.

    Oversimplifying facts to make your argument stick when those claims are really easy to debunk is just feeding the usual conspiracy theory morons.






  • No, what actually makes sense is a proper unification of different copy/paste buffers that is nowadays still mostly improvised and only achieved through very different 3rd party tools (for me using the panel from xfce it’s xfce4-clipman for example that keeps highlighting text and middle-click buffers synchronised with ctrl-c/ctrl-v or ctrl-insert/shift-insert…).

    The problem is not accidently pasting something with a middle-click, but not knowing what is in one buffer, what is in another one and which one a program is using.



  • it does not make sense to create blackouts in residential districts

    Translated from the weird manifesto: “We do not assume that this has resulted in 100,000 households being disconnected from the grid, but rather that they have only been disconnected from that gas-fired power station’s grid.”

    Their planning and reasoning seems to be even wilder than their textual ramblings.

    They basically hallucinate that damaging the grid will only cut of the power plant and force the company to buy electricity on short notice somewhere else for much inflated prices.
