Are reddit paying contributors, moderators or people creating posts¿? If no then how are they claiming that buying a golden upvote supports contributors

It seems your igpu is being used instead of the dGPU

If just most games wold run on Linux out of box at least same as on Windows, i can imagine there would be shift in market share.

You could argue that this is somewhat true by looking at the protondb numbers for the top 1000 games. 88% of the games are silver rated or better and the majority of those 12% games are competitive multiplayer titles with weird/invasive anti cheats.

I am a little slow - what exactly I am looking at here¿? Many of them seem to be playing modern warfare 2

Yeah this is an issue I used to face as well. And it is not limited to your comments. Comments from other people were also collapsed and wouldn’t load when expanded. I used to think the comment must have been deleted or removed but then those comments used to load up in the lemmy-ui on my computer and on other lemmy clients like voyager, jerboa, etc.

Edit : reading your post more carefully, maybe we have different issues

Somebody please teach the bot to just say Twitter instead of X, formerly known as Twitter. Will save 4 words

Yes it’s a luxury but in a lot of 3rd countries, these luxuries help people to learn and improve their English and general soft skills.

People are saying it is morally justified to pirate which is the same conclusion your seemed to have reached. Nobody is saying it is legally justified.

I don’t know man. The companies have no respect for us as consumers. Why should we respect them and their copyright in that case.

“justify” stealing it from them.

In many cases, these services stream shows which they did not have a hand in creating but own the distribution rights to. In that case pirating seems like a weak case of stealing to me. The original crew have already been paid and rewarded for their work and now the streaming companies are just storing and streaming that content which is the same thing piracy websites do. On the other hand pirating newer content and content that is platform exclusive because they(HBO, Disney, etc) are the ones that made it seems a lot more like stealing to me. I am not going to feel guilty for pirating shit like friends or Seinfeld. I am also not going to feel guilty for pirating content which has been geoblocked in such a way that it is not available in my country through any legal means.

What I am trying to say with this is that there are situations where piracy is both convenient and justified

Guy pays good money for a 4k tier Netflix subscription because he does not want to pirate. Has a home theatre linux machine because he is worried about the privacy risks of his smart tv and hence doesn’t connect his TV to the internet. Finds that he can only get a low bitrate 720p stream on his PC . He is appalled at the fact he isn’t getting the quality he paid for and amused at the fact that he would have gotten better quality if he had just pirated and concludes that piracy is just the better experience.

Looks like you did not watch the video.

The good that steam does for linux currently outweighs the DRM issue present in steam. It why they are catching less heat than others for it.

A significant portion of the Palestinian population in the Gaza strip were not even born when this ‘goverment’ was elected. They came to power over a decade ago and grabbed it by force so it is more or less a forced millitary leadership at this point

You can’t fault SDF for upgrading. There many highly requested features in lemmy 0.19 like instance blocking. Also many of the clients have done the porting work necessary for 0.19 so they thought that switching to a beta version will have more pros than cons.

You most probably won’t need to donate to cancer research. It is already being funded in the hope that the medicines developed will bring in the dough once they are ready

Hmm must be that different manufacturers allow for different allocations. I am on an MSI laptop and I have the options of Auto, 256M, 512M, 768M and 1024M

Yes it counts and more than monetary contributions do

AMD locks away 1.5 gigs of ram for just the APU

You can change this allocation from the BIOS if you are so inclined. Not that it makes it any better. Sharing 8 gigs between cpu and iGPU is only acceptable when you are doing nothing but web browsing on the laptop/pc

Well it’s similar with sync. LJ was active on the sync community but was not active on other communities at all. I think it is more like a job for them now and that they don’t particularly enjoy using lemmy

Well those Intel CPUs used to thermal throttle anyway in their outlandishly inadequate cooling designs so they did not need to throttle power either way. Now they could throttle power but don’t have to
