For porn, exclusively

Most ASUS-es use MUX chip nowadays. “Ultimate” in Armory Crate, “AsusMuxDgpu” in supergfxctl, and I think “high-performance” in system76-power, is dGPU-primary mode where it drives the panel directly, and iGPU just sits there doing nothing and could even be completely disabled, if so desired.

Dunno, every single major problem I had in the last couple of years (including few month on windows) were caused by bad AMD drivers. Had to switch to wayland in large part to avoid that goddamn hw_done/flip_done timeout bug. And still, if anything tries to use VA-API it freezes the entire desktop with amdgpu_cs_ioctl reports "not enough memory for command submission". And it also recently started to not recognize the monitor plugged into it after booting, saying kernel: workqueue: dm_irq_work_func [amdgpu] hogged CPU for >10000us 4 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND, so I have to re-plug it a few times for it to start working.

Nvidia, on the other hand? Not a single hitch so far.

Indeed, as the other comment stated, it’s the reliance on phone numbers.

• Governments can intercept and block registration SMS and put you straight on the watchlist for even trying
• Every single cell provider in the world can make phone calls from your number, nevermind sms, and so does everyone who has influence over them, be it law enforcement, someone with money or inside connections to bribe some corrupt employee, or just a kid with a gsm sniffer, or even just a sharp tongue and gall to just call them and say “Hey my name is Bob Marley, unfortunately I’ve lost my phone, could you send me a new one with the same number”. Yes, they won’t be able to read your messages, but they can register a new account to your number and scam your friends by pretending to be you.
• Privacy nightmare, phone numbers carry a lot of private data with them which is very easily doxx-able. I don’t want to share all that just to chat with someone, especially when supposedly talking about something I wouldn’t want someone else to be prying upon. IE if I’m planning a crime I don’t want my potential accomplices to know my full legal name and DOB, which they’d be able to get for just a dollar if they knew my number.
• How do you even deal with spam? Admittedly I’ve never used Signal, because of point 1 where government blocked and put me on the watchlist, but in a similarly phone-tied telegram, when my p/n got leaked I got dozens of spam messages every day from random accounts, and had to basically abandon it because there’s no easy way to change the identity

Given that there are amps and AIO synth, I assume this is meant to be a high school band rehearsal place? Then the drummer should already have that place’s kit set up for him, it’s not like they can even afford their own, nevermind the bags for it.

Signal sucks, tho. Use Session instead. Or SimpleX. Or Delta Chat. Or Matrix…

Federation is kinda clunky, there is no way to see content posted before you federated, same with upvotes, so top of all time is different across communities. But most annoying of all is that to see the communities you have to paste the full link into search. Big instances can rely on some of the users doing it but for single user instance you have to go to bigger instances and see their list of communities and copy-paste the links into your instance search bar, otherwise you cant see any new posts from those.

Selfhosting, yeah!

actually selfhosting lemmy kinda sucks don’t bother unless you have to

I’m prehistoric. George III instead of Washington

What about Libya, Yemen, Serbia, Colombia… Canada? Actually, scratch that, the below is before Trump. After it should all be in red.

Is this that weird credit score indicator thingy that people post every once in a while?

God? Even calling it consciousness would be a huge stretch.

Weird. Chugging cola from gallon jugs sounds like the most American thing one could think of, strange it’s not a thing yet. Also never understood why Americans buy milk in jugs. Isn’t this like the one thing you actually want to be in the smallest container possible? Do people drink that much milk, or are they commonly tossed unfinished when it inevitably spoils?
