    How about that.

  • What do you think of this prediction?
  • Well, when you make a multithreaded application, usually there is one main thread, which controls everything else, timings and all.

    The alternative

    is to have all threads know how to sync with whichever other thread they need to sync with, whenever they need to. This way tends to be more difficult (and I am yet to think of a use case and application methodology for this method).

    Now usually you make sure not to have any blocking function (large calculation or file R/W requiring HDD fetching) on the main thread. Maybe they made some mistakes in this regard in their previous games and did better this time.

    From what I see, it seems like they didn't use the graphics API (seems to be Vulkan) properly enough, for which I can't do anything, given my lack of exp with it. Perhaps a god time for me to delve into Vulkan.

    That seems to be the main barrier, yeah.


    But I checked htop while running the game and it doesn't seem to be doing all single core stuff as you said. Unless it is that the bottlenecking thread is not even using the available core to the full extent.
    I checked it out with both linux and linux-zen kernels.

    Usually, when a program is loading on a single thread, you tend to see a single core go to 100% for a few seconds, which then jumps around as the OS switches the core provided to the thread. That was not happening here.
    Also, the new GPU is sometimes at ~60-70% while the FPS is dropping to 30. This part was weird.

  • Well, KDE Clipboard seems to make it easy enough for me for now, but perhaps I will set a compose key for it if required.

    My main problem tends to be forgetting to add it because I got too emersed in typing the comment.

    And it's kinda useless to add it after the fact, so most of the time, it works because I copy the license first.

  • DJI drone ban passes in U.S. House — 'Countering CCP Drones Act' would ban all DJI sales in U.S. if passed in Senate
  • Right. Because after you buy it, it is your drone made by DJI and not DJI's drone.

    Guess some of the laws still have their premises correct.

  • Don't make a mistake in choosing a distro
  • I just went "Shiit! Am I sitting on potential system breakage?" (because I don't remember doing any such intervention)
    But turns out it was just a conflicts with change.

    From what I know, pacman straight-up asks you what you want, in these cases. Sure, it's technically manual intervention, but for me, who scans over updated packages every-time, this is considered standard procedure.

    Manual intervention is when GRUB doesn't install properly using the suggested command and you have to learn where your distro places the boot image and configure stuff accordingly.

    Also, I don't have JDK so...

    If there's nothing to laugh at, people usually pick a loner, harass them until they are angry/miserable and then laugh at them.


    I'd rather, they laugh at this, which might also throw a wrench in the works of companies trying to get data without sifting through it properly.

    Anti Commercial-AI license


    Wouldn't it be even more fun if the AI chatbot got trained on this and started spewing out Anti Commercial-AI license in their results?

  • DJI drone ban passes in U.S. House — 'Countering CCP Drones Act' would ban all DJI sales in U.S. if passed in Senate
  • Meaning, if you have it, you can do what you want other than (re)selling it?

  • What do you think of this prediction?
    1. The license is for the content of the post. Here, I put a separator.
    2. Valve has regional pricing, making some games cost a tenth of the price in some regions. GoG does not, so you pay the US price.
    • e.g. I bought X4 for ~4x the price of Average AAA console games.
    • Though, in case of X4, it seems to have a similar price on Steam, most games tend to be cheaper with regional pricing.

    And now I forgot to put a license on this one.

  • What do you think of this prediction?
  • How about "Customers in low income countries will pay the same full price for your game." as a pitch.

  • What do you think of this prediction?
  • Yeah, I recently bought X4, which is so badly implemented (at least on Linux) that it gives the same FPS (in the 30s) on Low settings as it does on Ultra.

    I even went ahead and bought a new GPU just for that and hardly see a difference, even being suspicious of there being a miner in it.

    Fun game nonetheless.

  • What do you think of this prediction?
  • I'm waiting for BG3 to make a Linux thingy. Until then, it''s on the "maybe" list.

    If it's not native on Linux, it needs to be exceptionally good for me to buy it, considering GoG doesn't have regional pricing.

    Came back to the game after a year or so, just to see this:

    !Shows how to opt-out

    At least they let us disagree to the ToC. Not sure if I can play the game after that though, since I just exited after clicking the disagree button.

    Also, at least they show us the changes on the top, so we know what happened.

    Can Tokodon connect to Lemmy server?

    Would it make sense to consider asking Tokodon to support connecting with Lemmy servers, or is there too big a difference between the APIs, requiring a separate application?
