Is that more times than they caused it?

They cured mouse cancer!?

Don’t worry about it, other than being in the wrong spot it looks like a fine post to me. I’m not sure where, exactly, would’ve been better — I only subscribe to relatively few lemmy communities.

And then Optimus will come around to your house, and it will give everyone free ice cream. Whatever flavor you like! Then Optimus will save all the sick animals and make them better, and fix the ozone layer, and stop crime. Optimus is going to cure cancer, and eliminate traffic jams, and make me the most popular man in the world. A true communist utopia.

Youtube videos do not belong here.

It’s the deficient market hypothesis in action: If someone has money, he must be right. Therefore, give him more money.

The strength of todays “AI” is generating bullshit, isn’t it? Not that it doesn’t take more than that to invent a new religion, I suppose you also need genuine holy divine inspiration and so on, but it sure might be helpful to the process.

For me the X11 era continues for now (until the next version of xfce I expect) and the era of GNOME ended 23 years ago.

Linux loads the “firmware” into the GPU on boot. It does need to be updated from time to time, separately from the driver and everything else. On my system it’s kept in /usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu. And bios updates can often fix weird bugs, usually worth doing.

I don’t know, but one possibility to consider is that running amdgpu-pro (or its non-pro counterpart) might’ve done something that stops mesa from working if you didn’t completely undo everything it did.

amdgpu fails to load

If you’re referring to the old “amdgpu pro” software, you probably don’t want to be using that. It isn’t necessary for the stuff you want to do, and I’m surprised to learn that it still exists at all — it’s still talked about as if it’s current on the arch wiki. Get rid of that, update the firmware package, run a recent kernel, and then figure out whatever specific thing you actually need for the AI stuff you’re trying to do such as rocm-related things.

I dunno, I’ve just seen a few weird ones over the years. My search didn’t turn up any better place to start than the wikipedia page on musical notation which does cover quite a few of them.

I don’t know what you’re proposing exactly that you think would “fix” it, but you might be surprised at how many attempts to reform music notation have come and gone over the years. Perhaps the one you’re looking for has already been invented.

Whichever kernel debian bookworm has, the patch for this has most likely been applied to it. The larger risk is to organizations running ancient versions of RHEL or something that never get updated, e.g. because some hardware they need uses a shitty proprietary driver that supports only very specific kernel versions.

Edit: You can confirm that it’s been fixed in Debian here. Looks like it was patched for bullseye systems still running kernel 5.10 in June 2024.

“Hacktivist” apparently now means “for-hire saboteurs working for Russia.”

No surprise, I always thought 2025 was at sixes and sevens.

Elon cares deeply about the truth and seems as if he has boundless energy to devote to suppressing it.

Yeah by “do whatever you like” I mean install MO2, edit the registry, run dyndolod, mess around with system dlls, whatever. One thing I’ve just learned about that might be useful: https://github.com/SulfurNitride/NaK

The “immutable” thing shouldn’t be a problem I’d think. Games installed through e.g. steam aren’t affected by that — it just does its own thing creating a wine prefix for the game somewhere in your home directory. You should be free to do whatever you like in there.

If that thought seems novel to you, your homework for this weekend is to watch a few Jackie Chan movies.
