  • What country?

  • You're speaking for yourself, I presume?

  • Really? So people randomly approach you on the street and proclaim they'll never date you?

  • Yes, because comment sections on Lemmy/Reddit/Social Media are a good metric for what happens AFK. We saw that when Lemmy/Reddit perfectly predicted the crushing loss of Donald Trump.

    Oh wait...

    I'd suggest going out more and hanging out with real people.

  • Today in things that never happened:

    Or maybe it would happen in the US. I wouldn't be surprised anymore.

  • Proton is a fork of wine. I believe they still use parts from each other.

  • Yes. I'll be an asshole to those that stand in the way of good things. No remorse.

  • Radioactive nuclear materials comes from the Earth. All one has to do is put it back in the Earth. Finland built a massive underground nuclear waste storage facility, but there are also technologies being developed to reclaim nuclear waste (because only a very small amount if the material actually gets used in the fission process).

  • I don't use Web apps/software to begin with, explicitly because I don't live under the illusion that everything will somehow exists forever, exactly the way it is.

    I've been homeless, so I know how it is to be an artist without being online all the time. If the tool you use needs to be always online for some reason (and it's not specifically related to the Internet), it's a bad and useless tool.

    It's the reason I'm not jumping on the Photopea train until they release a proper installable program.

  • So long as the checkmark isn't bought through some subscription service, I'm fine with this.

    The whole reason why verification exists is because other will steal the name of someone famous and masquerade as them, with real world consequences. A verification system now means that certain platforms and people will get more attracted to be there, and thus Bluesky will grow.

  • Refreshing not to see the comment section full of anti-nuclear brainlets. For a second I thought Lemmy was a Greenpeace hot-spot.

    Anyway...

    One good turn deserves another. If others won't follow because of good example, hopefully other countries will instead follow because of competition.

  • Fuck "stagnation", how about "being satisfied"?

  • I don't mind riots, so long as it's targeted in some way, and not just the random breaking down of privately owned small businesses (which hurts no-one at the top).

  • The word "female" should not be a negative. What a weird anti-intellectual direction this world is taking.

    Might as well ban the word "cloud" next.

  • Like, I agree. But we all know that he's not saying this out of the goodness of his heart. Completely removing any sort of IP laws right now would mean tech billionaires like him get free reign training AI models... And more importantly, making money with AI models.

  • I use mine. Bluetooth is great and all, but it's still not the same quality as a hard-line. And they also run out of batteries.

  • You gotta be fucking kidding me. What sort of disconnected boomer statement is that!?

    I hate using such terms as "boomer", but how else am I going to describe this?

    I'm in Denmark, and I can just about get by on one job. I have friends from America struggling to make ends meet, and they're working TWO jobs!

    So the fuck is this guy talking about!?

  • Denmark has Pricerunner. When buying electronics I can find many different types of local dealers and suppliers.

    Second hand can be gotten through Den Blå Avis (dba.dk. Essentially translates to "The Blue Pages").

    Clothing has various online solutions as well, but it's also easy to just hop onto a bike and cycle to the nearest shopping centre. I live in Copenhagen, so there's also train and metro, but I prefer biking.

    When it comes to food, I only ever order food online through Too Good To Go. Recently got a large breakfast cereal box through TGTG.

  • Unless I'm mistaken, this game should basically be Conan Exiles but Dune (hopefully with improvements over Conan Exiles).

    If this is indeed correct, then it should be possible to play the game offline single player, or set up your own server to play with your friends.

  • Linux Gaming @lemmy.world
    Tattorack @lemmy.world

    Intel Arc A770 and issues running UE5 games (and occasionally with UE4).

    First, let me get my system details out of the way:

    • CPU: Ryzen 5600x
    • GPU: Intel Arc A770
    • RAM: 32 GB DDR4
    • OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
    • KERNEL: 6.8.0-55-generic
    • MESA: 25.0.2 (from kisak)

    I am having issues with Unreal Engine 5 games, most recently with the Nightengale Demo. Games built on other game engines, and mostly older Unreal Engine games, work fine (i.e. Baldur's Gate 3, Age of Empires 4, Helldivers 2). Here are the problems I've experienced so far (assume that I have already gone to ProtonDB and tried a number of the launch commands I found there):

    • Complains that my system isn't DX12 compatible (Nightengale specifically does this when trying to launch the game with Proton Experimental, Proton Hotfix, or Proton-GE).
    • Immediate crash, with the UE5 crash window showing (Nightengale does this when trying to launch the game on any other Proton version).
    • Launches to a black screen and stays that way... forever... until force-closed.
    • Launches, but runs choppy, belo

    Android rooting tools? (Solved)

    I've rooted my android phone many years ago. Back then that was a different phone than I have now, and I was still using Windows.

    I'm now trying to find a way to root my current phone (Motorola g62 5G), and have no idea how to do it through Linux. However, I seem to only be able to find instructions that are specific to windows.

    How would I go about doing this on Linux (specifically Ubuntu)?

    EDIT:

    Thanks to a number of answers on here I've managed to find my way and rooted my phone. Thanks again, guys!

    How could a disruptor weapon feasibly work?

    First a definition for this question, because there are many kinds of sci-fi out there and they sometimes liberally use cool sounding words without explaining them:

    A disruptor is a kind of weapon that weakens, or "disrupts", either material bonds (breaking a material into molecules), molecular bonds (breaking a molecule into atoms), or atomic bonds (breaking an atomic nucleus into protons, netrons, and free electrons. Almost like instantly turning into plasma).

    Temperature can do these things, but the idea behind a disruptor, specifically, is that it happens through some kind of catalyst, rather than brute-forcing with insane amounts of heat.

    Would such a weapon physically be possible (even if we don't know how to make them just yet)?

    How would a target realistically behave when hit by a disruptor?

    Is it possible to access hardware RGB controls of connected USB devices?

    So, I have a Steelseries M800 keyboard and a Corsair mouse. Unfortunately neither of them are supported by Open RGB, and so I'm stuck with my RGB making rainbows.

    Well, sort of. My keyboard still has the configuration it had from when I still used Windows over 2 years ago. But my mouse does not.

    I use an XP Pen tablet for making art, and the official driver from XP Pen doesn't come with any options to adjust and calibrate the screen's colours, but I managed to figure out how to access these hardware settings through command line. Now this has me wondering if it's possible to do the same for my keyboard and mouse.

    Is there a Linux drawing tablet, or a tablet Linux can be installed on?

    I have a 2nd generation XP Pen Artist 13. It's a great tablet and I've managed to make it work with my Steam Deck too.

    But...

    It's basically an external monitor with pressure sensitive surface, so still less portable than an actual stand alone table. So I'm wondering if there is a tablet with a pressure sensitive screen and battery free pen that either comes with Linux or can install Linux on.

    The programs I use for making art are Krita, Gimp, and Blender 3D.

    New Flashcard for Nintendo Switch. Team Xecuter might be behind it.

    I apologize if this video has already been posted here. I did a rudimentary look through the posts of the past few days and couldn't see it.

    Music @lemmy.world

    Looking for music similar to the album Dreaming by The Art of Noise

    Recently discovered The Art of Noise by looking up Max Headroom. Found a bunch of tracks I like that fit well with my already existing Spotify playlists.

    However, I want to find more music like three of the dance tracks on the album Dreaming. specifically like the tracks "Colour Red", "Colour Maroon", and "Colour White".

    Any recommended tracks/albums/artists?

    E-Books, best places to get them?

    I want to get back into reading, so I'm thinking of getting a Paperwhite. But I have no idea if it's possible to transfer files to it from a computer, and I have no experience with pirating books.

    Do I go to the same places I torrent movies and games or are there special places dedicated to E-Books?

    EDIT: So many awesome answers on here! You guys have been very helpful. Thanks a lot!
