you won’t need a dedicated monitor if you use Looking Glass

the fuse popped, right?

passive/active are just 2 modes you can select between and active is simply better so for me there’s literally 0 problems

scrcpy?

afaik it’s just the msi pro -a z690/z790 boards

yeah i play ksp and rainworld with coreboot+disabled ME thinkpad t430 and it’s fine (coreboot has no performance penalties)

the only thing coreboot broke in my instance was the passive (cpufreq) powersave cpu scaler for my cpu, but I could just switch to the active (intel_pstate) powersave cpu scaler which is better anyway

are there modern desktop motherboards/chipsets/bioses that let you disable ME though? the z690/z790 are the only ones that I know can run coreboot (ignoring laptop motherboards), but I thought that still had to run ME?

you can do two spaces
at the end of a line then newline to keep that newline in the formatting

it keeps like line spacing unlike with double newlines

you all need to learn to distinguish between the people/the government/the country

maybe it’s just because that’s the more memorable/unique parts of their name?

trump/biden is much more distinctive than donald/joe
clinton could refer to both bill or hillary
obama/kamala is more memorable than barack/harris (though maybe for obama that’s just because I’ve heard ‘obama’ so many times)

I’m not saying that’s definitely not true, just that there might be other reasons why

gives off the same ‘solution looking for a problem’ vibes as corporate marketing around ai lmao

I don’t like it because it’s placing an objective statement on a subjective matter. it’s also apparently run by a single person (which is understandable given what it needs to do) but I just don’t like the vibes that gives off.

I think it’d be a lot better if it just stated objective things (e.g. where their funding comes from, the corporate relationships, country they’re based in)

The statistic isn’t saying that 50% of Linux gamers use steam, it’s saying that Linux gamers are ~1/2 as likely to use steam for games when compared to gamers on other platforms. these are very different things.

~50% of Linux gamers using steam is only true if you assumed every gamer on the other platforms used steam

btw i hate the term ‘gamer’ but it’s just convenient to use here :(

so a disproportionately large amount (2x) of Linux gamers don’t use steam? that doesn’t sound right to me with how good steam is on Linux

it’s usually ironic lmao

wow that sounds so handy, thanks
