Return to C

Oh no! anyway…

Man they could have sent that 1.6 billion to Israel for more bombs, I obviously want my tax money to be spent on weapons to kill children /s

Aside from the obvious fakery, how the hell would Hamas smuggle hostages into Egypt, let alone Egypt to Iran?

Sisi would immediately alert the USA and return the hostages for an $100 IMF loan each.

It’s already ridiculously hard for Gazans to cross the border, a hostage would be found out immediately.

Doesn’t Turkey have the largest arms deals with Israel because of NATO lol?

Although hilariously even then they are considered one of the better Islamic countries.

• Egypt is a US shill
• KSA is Dr evil and also a US shill
• Syria is mental
• Yemen and Afghanistan are war torn
• Pakistan is a US shill but with nukes (so Egypt++)
• Iran is gay
• Iraq is another shill
• Bangladesh is Pakistan lite
• Azerbaijan is similar to Turkey with Israel

I find it sad that about the only Islamic country that made a notable stand against Israel was Houthi controlled Yemen. No one else cares, and most have been buying Israeli spyware for years to go after their own citizens.

literally shoots 3 of their own hostages who escaped waving a white flag

accused

Imagine being the King who signed away sovereignty of his own border to Israel.

Clown geopolitical move

Lord of War?

2024 I finally tried some Bluetooth headphones after maybe 10+ years.

Still using SBC by default, still no duplex HD audio, and still static driver noise at idle.

What is even the point lol. SBC-XQ only solves the first problem which is still inferior to even the cheapest of quality 3.5mm cable.

Even my Nintendo DS sounds better and it’s limited to 32Khz audio lol.

I actually got flagged on reddit for a joke comment I made with a 3 liner code block that had something like thread.kill()

It thought I was promoting violence lol

Unity was one of the first applications that made me take a good look at FOSS in general because my experience with it was:

“Hey let’s make a game for our final project”

“Okay, let’s try Unity”

Flashbanged in light mode

Dark Mode is only available for real cash money subscription license

“Yeah okay nvm let’s try something open source lol”

Removed by mod

iirc due to some anti trust lawsuits, they cannot do that anymore.

But it’s still easy to coerce OEMs to run Windows because they offer stuff like quick support and standardized IT support.

If an OEM ships Linux, they don’t want to have to make an entire department to help troubleshoot the OS for users who will inevitably call for help. Ignoring them would only result in returns and loss of sales.

I think some thinkpads actually do ship with some distro like redhat or opensuse as an option, but that’s because thinkpads are very popular in the business space which means lots of CS people use them, so it helps save some cost from a windows license that won’t get used.

Like I said though, if windows really dives into the deep end, I think a potential market would open and some OEM will take a chance on it.

Not to be that guy but why not use Curve25519?

I still remember all the conspiracies surrounding NIST and now 25519 is the default standard.

In 2013, interest began to increase considerably when it was discovered that the NSA had potentially implemented a backdoor into the P-256 curve based Dual_EC_DRBG algorithm.[11] While not directly related,[12] suspicious aspects of the NIST’s P curve constants[13] led to concerns[14] that the NSA had chosen values that gave them an advantage in breaking the encryption.[15][16]

There’s plenty of videos on YouTube of people trying Linux for the first time, and it can be painful to watch how poorly they try to fix something or unintentionally break their system.

That’s not to say windows is any better, because they’d do the same thing there.

But people will only switch permanently if windows really falls off hard, which may or may not happen.

You have to think of it like how people first learned to use a mouse and double click back in the 90s. It’s not immediately intuitive for everyone, they often have to start over.

That being said, having a big OEM ship linux would do wonders, but Microsoft fights hard to make sure that almost never happens.

Yeah that means the driver is loaded fine, but it looks like it is selecting the iGPU by default. You have several options to fix this.

1. You can disable integrated graphics in the bios if there is an option for it. This is the easiest, but if you’re on a laptop, leaving it enabled might save some battery in which case goto 2.

2. You can tell either each program or the OS to prefer the Nvidia GPU. The way you do this also depends on how the gpu is set up (most laptops have it as secondary)

You can test this by running __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxgears in one terminal, and nividia-smi in a second terminal to verify a program (in this case glxgears) is running on the nvidia gpu.

I’ll try to find a good guide, but depending on the setup, it could be a simple MUX switch you can flip to change between iGPU and Nvidia GPU, or with the use of some preference selector tool (I think it was called prime?).

It’s confusing because lots of laptops essentially use the Nvidia GPU as offload which makes it a bit tricky to coaxe it into using the correct one.

What is the output of “modinfo nvidia”?

From your output it looks like the driver is loaded, it might just be the game selecting the wrong GPU by default.

Okay but there actually is a pretty significant difference between eggs at the store vs buying them from someone who has chickens.

There was actually an egg shortage a while ago, but lots of people who were raising chickens couldn’t sell their eggs because, and I quote, “they were too rich in flavor and texture, so people didn’t like them”.

It was hilarious and sad that high quality eggs was just something no one ever tasted before, so they couldn’t suddenly get used to the flavor.

It’d be like if you drank skim milk your whole life only to find out regular “whole” milk is actually supposed to be creamy lol

No but don’t worry, several people have assured me Kamala Harris is really going to get the ceasefire this time.

She totally isn’t lying about it which is why she banned Palestinians from speaking at the DNC.

Definitely gonna see that ceasefire as soon as she becomes president I swear.

Kinda doubt it will help though. Israel keeps Palestine’s economy hostage by dictating their services and tech. Not sure BRICS would work unless Israel also joins in.
