Since the disastrous launch of the RTX 50 series, NVIDIA has been unable to escape negative headlines: scalper bots are snatching GPUs away from consumers before official sales even begin, power connectors continue to melt, with no fix in sight, mark…Sebin's Blog
Because they choose not to go full idiot though. They could make their top-line cards to compete if they slam enough into a pipeline and require a dedicated PSU to compete, but that's not where their product line intends to go. That's why it's smart.
For reference: AMD has the most deployed GPUs on the planet as of right now. There's a reason why it's in every gaming console except Switch 1/2, and why OpenAI just partnered with them for chips. The goal shouldn't just making a product that churns out results at the cost of everything else does, but to be cost-effective and efficient. Nvidia fails at that on every level.

First, DLSS is supported on Linux.
Second, DLSS is kinda bullshit. The article goes into details that are fairly accurate.
Lastly, AMD is at parity with Nvidia with features. You can see my other comments, but AMD's goal isn't selling cards for gamers. Especially ones that require an entire dedicated PSU to power them.
Nvidia cards don’t require their own dedicated PSU, what on earth are you talking about?
Also DLSS is not “kinda bullshit”. It’s one of the single biggest innovations in the gaming industry in the last 20 years.

Second: you apparently are unaware, so just search up the phrase, but as this article very clearly explains...it's shit. It's not innovative, interesting, or improving performance, it's a marketing scam. Games would be run better and more efficiently if you just lower the requirements. It's like saying you want food to taste better, but then they serve you a vegan version of it. AMD's version is technically more useful, but it's still a dumb trick.

What exactly am I supposed to be looking at here? Do you think that says that the GPUs need their own PSUs? Do you think people with 50 series GPUs have 2 PSUs in their computers?
It’s not innovative, interesting, or improving performance, it’s a marketing scam. Games would be run better and more efficiently if you just lower the requirements.
DLSS isn't innovative? It's not improving performance? What on earth? Rendering a frame at a lower resolution and then using AI to upscale it to look the same or better than rendering it at full resolution isn't innovative?! Getting an extra 30fps vs native resolution isn't improving performance?! How isn't it?
You can't just "lower the requirements" lol. What you're suggesting is make the game worse so people with worse hardware can play at max settings lol. That is absolutely absurd.
Let me ask you this - do you think that every new game should still be being made for the PS2? PS3? Why or why not?

Like I said...you don't know what DLSS is, or how it works. It's not using "AI", that's just marketing bullshit. Apparently it works on some people 😂
You can find tons of info on this (why I told you to search it up), but it uses rendering tables, inference sorting, and pattern recognition to quickly render scenes with other tricks that video formats have used for ages to render images at a higher resolution cheaply from the point of view of the GPU. You render a scene a dozen times once, then it regurgitates those renders from memory again if they are shown before ejected from cache on the card. It doesn't upsample, it does intelligently render anything new, and there is no additive anything. It seems you think it's magic, but it's just fast sorting memory tricks.
Why you think it makes games better is subjective, but it solely works to run games with the same details at a higher resolution. It doesn't improve rendered scenes whatsoever. It's literally the same thing as lowering your resolution and increasing texture compression (same affect on cached rendered scenes), since you bring it up. The effect on the user being a higher FPS at a higher resolution which you could achieve by just lowering your resolution. It absolutely does not make a game playable while otherwise unplayable by adding details and texture definition, as you seem to be claiming.
Go read up.
I 100% know what DLSS is, though by the sounds of it you don't. It is "AI" as much as any other thing is "AI". It uses models to "learn" what it needs to reconstruct and how to reconstruct it.

This is blatantly and monumentally wrong lol. You think it's literally rendering a dozen frames and then just picking the best one to show you out of them? Wow. Just wow lol.

That's not what I claimed though. Where did I claim that?
What it does is allow you to run a game at higher settings than you could usually at a given framerate, with little to no loss of image quality. Where you could previously only run a game at 20fps at 1080p Ultra settings, you can now run it at 30fps at "1080p" Ultra, whereas to hit 30fps otherwise you might have to drop everything to Low settings.

Ditto.

No it doesn't. It allows you to run a game at a higher resolution for no reason at all, instead of dropping to a lower resolution that your card can handle natively. That's it.
Keep claiming otherwise, and you're just literally denying reality and the Nvidia link to the docs right in front of you.
Linking to an 81 page document isn’t helpful. What specifically in there are you referring to?
No it doesn’t. It allows you to run a game at a higher resolution for no reason at all
Other than the reasons like I said - running it at higher settings while maintaining a playable framerate. The point is you don’t have to lower settings as much with DLSS.
You fundamentally don’t understand what it is and what it allows you to do.

Considering the current intrusive cyber climate, what are the best ways to preserve privacy?
For example, I have been exclusively using a VPN connection network-wide at home setup on OpenWrt, which in turn has a PiHole as its DNS, with the PiHole using Unbound and NextDNS (redundant I know, but I use it to encrypt my requests more than anything else).
I also have Wireguard setup so I can VPN all my devices to my network while I am on the road (also have a NextDNS profile installed. Yes I know, it’s redundant).
I also basically have all my “smart” devices (TV, lightbulbs, air purifier, etc…) at home cutoff from the internet using OpenWrt’s firewall to prevent them from calling home.
I rotate web browsers frequently to try and attempt avoiding getting fingerprinted, not sure how useful that is.
I switched email providers to mailbox.org because f*** Google and Microsoft.
I also am hosting my own cloud drive on Nextcloud to avoid using services like GDrive, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc…
I own Apple devices which aren’t the best for privacy but migrating from a whole ecosystem that I have been embedded in for MANY years is easier said than done. Hopefully in the future that’s my next move.
I feel like there is a lot more I can do but I am not sure what else. I would appreciate any and all suggestions ya’ll might have.

Ah that’s fair, I can see where you’re coming from on that. Those icons could 100% be generated with AI given the right prompting.
In my book, they look way more like stock assets to me due to how generic the symbols are, and the consistent styling. The “army guard” icon is kinda sus because of the stick “gun”, but that can be read as deliberate ambiguity to appease potential corporate customers who don’t want gun depictions in their vector stock images, and same deal with the generic “six point star”.
You’d also think they’d have chosen some sort of more detailed depiction of “isolation & surveillance” than a megaphone, or a lightning head for “fear & control”. If any of the accompanying text was included in the prompt to generate these images, the output would’ve been completely different.

Celestial bodies like the moon contain valuable resources, such as lunar regolith — also known as moon dust — and helium-3. These resources could serve a range of applications, including making rocket propellant and generating energy to sustaining long missions, bringing benefits in space and on Earth.The first objective on this journey is being able to collect lunar regolith. One company taking up this challenge is ispace, a Japanese space exploration company ispace that signed a contract with NASA in 2020 for the collection and transfer of ownership of lunar regolith.
The company recently attempted to land its RESILIENCE lunar lander, but the mission was ultimately unsuccessful. Still, this endeavour marked a significant move toward the commercialization of space resources.
These circumstances give rise to a fundamental question: what are the legal rules governing the exploitation of space resources? The answer is both simple and complex, as there is a mix of international agreements and evolving regulations to consider.

Agreements and rules are necessary so that one group doesn't ruin it for everyone else. It also prevents (or at least reduces) conflict if everyone knows what the rules of the game are.
Here is an excerpt from the article:
A significant development in the governance of space resources has been the adoption Artemis Accords, which — as of June 2025 — has 55 signatory nations. The accords reflect a growing international consensus concerning the exploitation of space resources.Considering the typically slow pace of multilateral negotiations, a handful of nations introduced national legislation. These laws govern the legality of space resource exploitation, allowing private companies to request licenses to conduct this type of activity.
To date, six nations have enacted this type of legislation: the United States in 2015, Luxembourg in 2017, the United Arab Emirates in 2019, Japan in 2021, Brazil in 2024 and most recently, Italy, which passed its law on June 11, 2025.
Among these, Luxembourg’s legal framework is the most complete. It provides a series of requirements to provide authorization for the exploitation of space resources. In fact, ispace’s licence to collect lunar regolith was obtained under this regime.
If you are referring to this paragraph:
These principles reaffirm the freedom of use and exploration of outer space for peaceful purposes, while introducing rules pertaining to the safety of the activities and their sustainability, as well as the protection of the environment, both of Earth and outer space.
Space junk is a growing issue, see Kessler Syndrome
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_…
The Kessler syndrome underscores the critical need for effective space traffic management and collision avoidance strategies to ensure the long-term viability of space exploration and utilization.The Kessler syndrome is troublesome because of the domino effect and feedback runaway wherein impacts between objects of sizable mass spall off debris from the force of the collision. The fragments can then hit other objects, producing even more space debris: if a large enough collision or explosion were to occur, such as between a space station and a defunct satellite, or as the result of hostile actions in space, then the resulting debris cascade could make prospects for long-term viability of satellites in particular low Earth orbits extremely low
It's a big enough concern that Kessler Syndrome is one of the potential solutions to the Fermi Paradox
Some astronomers have hypothesized Kessler syndrome as a possible or likely solution to the Fermi paradox, the lack of any sign of alien life in the universe. Any intelligent civilization which becomes spacefaring could eventually extinguish any safe orbits via Kessler syndrome, trapping itself within its home planet.

Here is how to fix several common audio issues with your computer.System76 Support
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ASUSLaptop_Q530VJ
I'm trying to see if maybe i've done something where I have pipewire, pulseaudio, wireplumber all set up at the same time? I also don't really understand the difference between them
like this
Okay, so this is one of Asus's consumer models that fits in the "Windowstop" category, meaning a lot of the hardware is going to be windows-only for various reasons.
It's got an ALC272 which IS supported, but that doesn't mean the microphone will be, especially if it's on the USB bus for whatever reason.
Couple questions:
1) Do other microphones work, just not internal?
2) Does your volume control work as expected
3) Does the webcam work, and does the internal microphone work only when the webcam is engaged?
4) What do apps like Discord or Zoom detect as available for your inputs?
As a test, install pavucontrol and qasmixer. Open pavucontrol, and check ALL the input settings (there are many combos). If nothing there shows activity, launch qasmixer, select the 'hw' view on the right, then try selecting different mixers and see if one finally clicks.
If any of these are successful, your mic is detected, and your mixer settings are messed up so it's not being enabled as an input sink.
If none of these work, you're going to have to dig restart, then run sudo dmesg and grep through looking for information regarding audio devices, or similar errors to see if it can't detect it.
From the product specs, it looks like it might have Harmon Kardon speakers, which may also tie into the microphone, and that's going to be problematic if it's a USB device for a number of reasons I won't dive into. Overall, this model just seems to be problematic from digging around. Example: reddit.com/r/ASUS/comments/160…
the internal mic used to work but then I had to do some update and now its not.
Is there a chance that there is some config file that is blocking something? like i made some kind of setting in a config file that is making this happen?
Config wouldn't BLOCK it from being detected, that's the problem.
Have you checked for a BIOS update recently?

For my internal sound card I have:
If I set my headset to one of the options that doesn't have "+ Mono Input" the mic stops working and doesn't even show up in settings and apps anymore. Same if I use the "Stereo Output" mode on my internal sound card. They must be set to a mode with both output and input enabled to work.
I can see this from "Sound" in my KDE settings, but you can also configure this in the "Configuration" tab of pavucontrol.

Evince was replaced by Papers as the default Document Viewer app for the upcoming GNOME 49.GitLab
like this
Evince:
Evince is a document viewer capable of displaying multiple and single page document formats like PDF and Postscript.
The gitlab repo for Evince was created May 22, 2018 and looks to be last updated yesterday.
Papers:
Papers is a document viewer capable of displaying multiple and single page document formats like PDF and DejaVu.
The gitlab repo for Papers was created March 29, 2022 and looks to be last updated 3 months ago.
I think in my years of using Gnome I've never used either, and had to search apps to see if I even had them installed. I have Evince under the fantastic title "document viewer" which is fixed in that commit yesterday. As for Papers, I don't even have it installed on 49-alpha.
I had no doubt that it was, I guess my post was more that they have both been around for a bit doing close to the same task. So for the people pretending this is "Gnome abandoning things like they always do" I think it's kind of silly to not expect a "default" app that is more than 7+ years old to be replaced with something newer.
Especially because these are the "default" apps that I would expect to be replaced once someone learns the DE and outgrows the defaults.
mhm just installed Papers via Flatpak. It feels a bit more snappier than Evince; and the UI is more inline with Adwaita which is quite welcomed.
This is a better replacement than the audio player one from last time.

The point is that all this bad doesn't take away what options we have as individuals to resist it.

There is a glaring lack of tracking for global recycling. Poor waste management is deeply connected to climate change, plastic pollution and global nutrient imbalances globally.Economies also suffer from the lack of tracking. We extract, process and then landfill and incinerate trillions of dollars of materials per year. Instead, these could be recirculating, creating new jobs and reducing reliance on global trade.
To shift to alternative, circular models, we need better data on local and global waste management.
My research demonstrates that more local waste tracking through digitalization could yield multiple benefits. It could help track hyper-local recycling and reuse, initiatives that are usually considered too small and burdensome to include in national waste tracking efforts.
And compared to national waste tracking, localized waste tracking could also provide more timely and relevant insights on the effectiveness of policies, infrastructure investments and education.

Because waste and recycling is a provincial matter (like many things)... saying Canada doesn't have a standardized federal framework is fine, but kind of a shallow take considering this article didn't bring up any provincial examples at all.
BC is on the ball with recycling, reporting and auditing composition.report
Ontario is trying to standardize their system and it puts cost and collection responsibilities on producers supposedly, but it could lead to lower recovery rates.
Alberta or Saskatchewan probably don't care that much, or will support it to the extent it helps oil and resource companies.

Instead of just generating the next response, it simulates entire conversation trees to find paths that achieve long-term goals.How it works:
- Generates multiple response candidates at each conversation state
- Simulates how conversations might unfold down each branch (using the LLM to predict user responses)
- Scores each trajectory on metrics like empathy, goal achievement, coherence
- Uses MCTS with UCB1 to efficiently explore the most promising paths
- Selects the response that leads to the best expected outcome
Limitations:
- Scoring is done by the same LLM that generates responses
- Branch pruning is naive - just threshold-based instead of something smarter like progressive widening
- Memory usage grows with tree size, there currently no node recycling

This year, like every other year, Americans will celebrate Independence Day with flag-waving, and parades, and fireworks. The political system the flag and the parades and fireworks are supposed to represent is in tatters, but everybody likes a party.For Americans, the madness gripping their country is a catastrophe. For non-Americans, it is an accidental revolution. This Independence Day, the world is declaring its independence from the US.

It goes without saying, DVDs/BlueRays.
I know this is a bit controversial, I've done a tiny bit of research on it. But honestly, until last night, I didn't realize people used anything but 1:1.
From what I've read, most older recipes are 2:1? And most modern recipes are 1:1? What do you use?
I use 2:1 when I bother to heat it in a pot, but recently I've taken to just filling sugar and boiling water into the intended container and shaking it every couple of minutes, and that method leads to somewhat more watery syrup. Still more sugar than water, though.
If a recipe needs more dilution, you can always add water while mixing the cocktail. I do that pretty often.

Support for UEFI on MBR was originally added in blivet#764 to accommodate cloud image use cases, such as AWS, which at the time did not support UEFI booting on GPT disks. These constraints no longer apply to modern cloud platforms, making MBR-based UEFI setups unnecessary for current Fedora deployments.
Exactly. MBR is pretty much not used at this point except on legacy hardware where EFI is not supported. As mentioned, it's also unreliable in this particular combo.
Removing this does two things:
1) Ensures the most reliable way of installing is enforced by default
2) Removed untested and entangled bits of code that allows this to work (though the volume of code removed won't be huge)

For those panicking about it, this is not something you need to worry about. Here’s what this actually does:
Enforce the use of GPT partition tables for all UEFI-based Fedora installations for x86 architecture. This removes support for installing Fedora in UEFI mode on MBR-partitioned disks on x86 systems
You probably have already been using GPT on your UEFI system since you had a UEFI system. Even if you somehow were using MBR, this probably;
1. Won’t break existing installations, as it’s merely support for installs of this type
2. Would not be a problem even if somehow the broke existing installs, as it’s not difficult to convert MBR to GPT.

I am looking to create similar tool to AlternativeTo. This would list different brands and why you should or should not buy them. Is there some software that would be great starting point for creating this kind of service?

Only thing that happens is that I get a black screen. Not sure what's happening, no error, nothing.
Disabled secure boot and stuff in UEFI.
Any suggestions? I feel stupid.
Edit: I'll leave it here for whomever might come next: use Ventoy to create the USB, not Rufus, and then boot in grub2 option. It's installing now, at least. Let's see...
Getting Linux on a Surface can be hard.
How did you format the USB drive? I could never get a usb to boot on my Surface Go unless it was made in Rufus using Windows. I believe you need to format the USB (with no iso) as an unbootable disc with fat32 and GPT and THEN put the iso you want on it. (Two separate operations on the same USB stick.)
There's also a custom Linux Kernel just for Surfaces that you can use for better driver compatibility.
Edit: I see you mentioned Ventoy. I got some ISOs to work with it, but most didn't. Then again, I couldn't get some ISOs to work with Rufus either.
This is the issue. There are all kinds of special steps needed because of various issues.
Skip Garuda and go for a distro that is known to work well on Surface like Fedora, Arch, or Mint.
Doch die Verordnung war das einzige Werkzeug, mit dem eine Überdüngung auf die verursachenden Betriebe zurückzuführen war. Nun fürchten Experten, dass die Nitratwerte im Trinkwasser wieder steigen könnten, weil die Verursacher wieder anonym wären.
Wenn das passiert, könnte das auch für die Regierung Folgen haben.2018 wurde Deutschland von der EU für die Nichteinhaltung der Nitratgrenzwerte im Trinkwasser verklagt. Eine Klage, die 2023 zurückgezogen wurde, weil die EU-Kommission die von Deutschland ergriffenen Korrekturen als hinreichend ansah. Dazu gehörte auch die 2018 eingeführte Stoffstrombilanzierungsverordnung.Seit ihrer Einführung ist die Menge an Stickstoff, die von landwirtschaftlichen Flächen in die Umwelt gelangt, um fast ein Drittel gefallen.
Dr. Benjamin Leon Bodirsky, PIKTrotzdem hat das Bundesministerium für Landwirtschaft, Ernährung und Heimat (BMLEH) die Stoffstrombilanzverordnung abgeschafft. Bundesminister Rainer sagt, er löse ein Wahlversprechen zum Bürokratieabbau ein: "Damit befreien wir unsere Höfe von jährlich 18 Millionen Euro Bürokratieballast."
Dazu als Einordnung: 304 Milliarden Euro Umsatz im "agribusiness" I'm Jahr 2023 laut Agrarheute
Die Aufhebung der Stoffstrombilanzierung kommt faktisch einem Rückfall in die Gesetzlosigkeit im Bereich der Düngung gleich.
Prof. Klaus Dittert, Georg-August-Universität GöttingenBestraft würden nun nämlich wieder die Landwirte, die sich an Regelungen gehalten und verantwortungsvoll gedüngt hätten. Umweltsünder, die überdüngen, hätten wieder freie Fahrt, so Dittert.
[...] das mit der EU vereinbarte Wirkungsmonitoring, welches Bestandteil der Nitrat-Richtlinie ist, wird nun nicht mehr durchgeführt.
Das könnte die EU-Kommission dazu veranlassen, das Vertragsverletzungsverfahren von 2018 wieder aufzunehmen. Es drohen Milliardenstrafen, die schlussendlich Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher schultern - ebenso wie höhere Preise für Trinkwasser. Denn das Herausfiltern von Nitrat ist teuer.
Klassiker in D: Grenzwert wird überschritten -> es wird im Bestfall reguliert -> Grenzwert wird unterschritten -> "das braucht sich kein Mensch; Bürokratie yay"
Ich bin so frustriert und Müde von der bekloppten CSU es ist doch nicht zu fassen. Für 18 Mio, so ein schmarrn.
