• FPTP voting system

• Voting isn’t compulsory so a lot depends upon on riling up your base

• Voting is on a Tuesday instead of a weekend (or a public holiday)

• Political parties draw up the electoral boundaries instead of an independent body

• The absurdly long leadup to an election

• The amount of money thrown around

I don’t know about the 2 VMs part (although that should work) but they have a Youtube channel with a couple of videos, including Resident Evil Village.

Possibly you are CPU bottlenecked in those particular games, in which case FSR would do nothing.

There’s also amdgpu native context support which allows native AMD GPU drivers in the guest (Linux only guests for now).

Haven’t tested it myself yet though as I’m using a GPU passthrough setup. Although I believe both of these solutions will support multiple VMs using it at the same time, which is an improvement over regular passthrough.

You can trace it back as least as far as Barry Goldwater and the rise of right-wing “think-tanks” in the 1960s which came as a backlash to the civil rights movement and the perceived dominance of left-wing politics in government. Which led to Nixon’s “Southern Strategy”, right-wing talk radio, Fox News, and the ongoing brainwashing of much of rural America in particular.

I don’t think Bush ever sunk to the depths of the Hitler-like rhetoric that Trump and his cronies have been using, however. Maybe the guardrails will hold if Trump wins again (or loses again) but this is not normal.

Non-voters are complicit in what is happening. Maybe saying they are as bad is a stretch, but they clearly either don’t care or are ignorant about it.

Linux currently doesn’t have a concept of “exclusive fullscreen” in the way that Windows does. A new wayland protocol can probably resolve this, although I’m not sure if any work has been done for that yet.

You could do it manually though most likely by having a script check if the current window is fullscreen (which you can do with sway/wlroots easily at least) and then apply the change. But there would be some false positives where you might not want the behaviour (like a video player), although if you’re watching high resolution/high framerate content it would be useful.

It depends on the GPU I suspect. The 6XXX series doesn’t appear to have that issue, at least not in a significant way. But yeah, the 7XXX series having power consumption issues isn’t too surprising.

As for the quote, the “more aggressive ramping” is about its behaviour under load, which you probably do want if you’re playing games.

You can revert the change in the same way as you can make the change now, with a udev rule. And you can change it on the fly with a script if needed.

Udev rule:

KERNEL=="card0", SUBSYSTEM=="drm", DRIVERS=="amdgpu", ATTR{device/power_dpm_force_performance_level}="manual", ATTR{device/pp_power_profile_mode}="0"

(you might be able to leave the power_dpm_force_performance_level part unset)

You can also try the compute (5) or VR (4) modes which have slightly different behaviour (I use the compute mode on my systems even though they are mostly for gaming).

I believe some of the third party GPU control utilities can also do this, but I don’t personally use them.

Maybe the Libertarians from A Libertarian walks into a bear finally found a solution to their bear problem.

There’s also an OPDS catalog which you access OOTB if you’re using KOReader.

Cultural Marxism

A variation on a term that Hitler frequently used (Cultural Bolshevism). Oh, and the Jews are also included in both the modern and historical version of this conspiracy, to the surprise of no one.

It’s like a page of high-school level ranting gibberish. I suppose that is technically a “platform” but not what people are typically thinking of.

What GPU you are running? If it’s not a recent AMD gpu, that might be the cause. Relatively recent Mesa and kernel would be a good idea too. The flatpak situation could complicate that too, as others have mentioned.

Monitors/displays can sometimes be temperamental too, and require toggling on/off, switching VTs back and forth, etc.

Beyond that, I’d try installing standard Steam if possible.

What additional configuration are you referring to?

Looking here, you might not need it anymore: https://zamundaaa.github.io/wayland/2024/05/11/more-hdr-and-color.html

But make sure gamescope is a recent version.

I believe only plasma 6 has support for HDR, and it requires additional config to enable it with games. Otherwise, it will look washed out as you found.

Alternatively, you can use gamescope-session which is basically running gamescope as a standalone like the steam deck.

For what it’s worth, the primary reason I joined lemmy.world, in particular, was their offering of old.lemmy.world

I thought you were joking, but nope, it’s real. Neat.

And the software ecosystem, much of which they have funded/developed. In 2015, there was no proton, no DXVK, no vkd3d, and most important, no Vulkan.
