That is really clever. Soften them up slowly but surely. Infest their world view with this nonsense and then one day they will be ready for the sales pitch.

I refuse to believe that anyone can be this incompetent. What is the strategy here? How would religious extremists profit from creating the “myth” of electricity? I’m more confused than anything else, honestly.

No, this isn’t “your bad”. It’s AMD’s. If they actually were interested in providing competition, they would have a money printer on their hands. But well, carrying on as usual without any sort of investment or risk of failure is also a modus operandi that many companies follow quite successfully. If Intel doesn’t kick their arse, they won’t lift a finger. Simple efficiency, right?

Edit: Also, yes, they have published FOSS drivers and integrated them into Mesa, I know that, but rocm is a separate beast entirely than drivers.

I’ve been running PopOS with an RTX 3080 for years now and I’m absolutely happy and zero chance of switching back to this Microsoft trash.

I have a problem with how AMD handles their software called “Rocm”. It’s basically AMD’s version of CUDA and it’s a complete mess. It’s ambiguous which cards are supported and which aren’t. They have gotten better with this problem over the past few years. But for example, their latest private customer graphics card is only supported on Ubuntu. Other products are only supported on other distros. Some cards, who aren’t even listed as supported, are very well supported in all distros. That’s what I mean, it’s a mess. Essentially, the only way to find out is take the bullet and plug it in, see what happens. I mean, Nvidia is a trash company that makes Apple and Microsoft look like saints. But at least, if you buy one of their products, you know it runs CUDA. No support matrix needed. Everything, no matter how old it is, supports CUDA. The company and their graphics cards are still trash though. Unless you buy the most expensive model, of course. Then all of your problems miraculously go away. cries in 10GB VRAM

All is relative.

Disagree. They have more of that “blood sucking parasite” look going on, especially with that smile.

Why do they smile like body snatchers?

If I’m going to build a new computer, I’d like to use an AMD GPU. Problem is, they treat their GPU software like the red-headed stepchild of the family.

I want to get this off my chest. I hate Google especially for trying to block JPEG XL. What’s it with forcing video codecs into image formats? AVIF and Webp are objectively inferior to JPEG XL in every single way. Well, I can explain that myself. The guy who made the AVIF format has his feelings hurt by user choice. Can you imagine all of the bandwidth and power savings if CDNs could actually use the format that they’d like to use?

Where art thou money, Sanhedrin?

I think you’re right. Why should we be picky? One needs the other after all.

That is a good take, in all honesty, which I haven’t considered before. Fuck both of them.

If Jeff Bezos wasn’t here, it would be some other cunt. Don’t hate the player, hate the game. It’s capitalism which rewarded his exploitation of slave labour. And using slaves isn’t that new of an idea. If it wasn’t him, it would have been someone else, because there’s an entire system rewarding this exact kind of putrid behaviour.

I don’t know why people hate LLMs, they are like having your own middle-manager.

Edit: format

Cool idea, not a shitpost though.

Jesus Christ, that is absolutely moronic. No wonder people are so obsessed with losing their card.

I am usually cautious with claims of free money. There is no free money for working class people. So, who’s paying it in that case and for what reason? I reckon the company who is running the platform does it, such that they can get market share to coerce sellers into using their product.

Or am I seeing this wrong?

But is it really worth all of the junk that you have to accept? I like the credit scoring, the monthly subscription, and, if you miss the date for paying back, the absurdly high fees. Well, yes, with the debit card you have, technically speaking, the risk of someone being able to make about 100€ worth of RFID payments, and then the code is needed again for the next 100€ RFID payments. For everything else that doesn’t involve RFID, the code is needed always.

You know, I’ve been thinking about this a lot. And your comment reminds me of it. The aesthetics of evil. Racist segregation is an obvious evil. So if you tell black people to stand at the back of the bus because they’re not allowed to mix with the whites, that’s rather obvious and a horrific picture to have. But, if you handicap them, make sure they can only live in the cheapest communities and then limit the mobility of them. Same result. But because you didn’t see it, and the enforced segregation is rather subtle… Well, looks better, doesn’t it? So people are more likely to accept it. And if you say things like “The city has marked this black community unfit for investment.” then it sounds already like a conspiracy theory. Making you the weirdo for speaking out. Horrid, but an elegant and efficient system for censorship, isn’t it?

And to be absolutely clear: I reject racial segregation and censorship, obviously.
