US Gov to explore requiring 3d printer manufacturers and software developers to contain controls to prevent users from manufacturing firearms components
  • Maybe the dumbest possible idea here from government regulators. You think you're going to somehow legislate certain geometry out of existence? "Sorry, you can't print that ILLEGAL SHAPE with the printer you own!" Same vacant headed assholes that think they can ban encryption. Fuck off, shrivel up and perish, please.

    What Linux distro surprised you the most?
  • I was surprised by how well Garuda KDE just... Works. Many users warned me to stay away from the smaller distros like Garuda but I've had zero issues after 6+ months of everyday use on 2 devices.

    'A tech firm stole our voices - then cloned and sold them'
  • Made a living doing VO for several years before AI ate most of the market. Basically you just work under contracts and hope for the best. If your client breaks contract maybe you can sue if you have the resources. I've sent a few C&D's that successfully stopped some people from using my voice commercially after having paid me a non-profit rate. The majority of the time, the contract is enough to keep clients in line.

    Framework 13 AMD: Due for a refresh?
  • That's unfortunate to hear about the 8840u.

    I want to purchase an AMD Framework 13, but I would rather wait for the next release to get something as new as possible.

  • I'm curious about when we might see the next AMD refresh for the Framework Laptop 13. The current top-spec option is the Ryzen 7 7840U, which was introduced in early 2023 and started shipping in Q3 2023. Given AMD's latest offerings and Framework's history of timely updates, soon we might expect to see a new mainboard featuring AMD's newer CPUs, like those from the Ryzen 8040 series or the upcoming Ryzen 9000 series.

    • Ryzen 7 7840U:
      • Architecture: Zen 4
      • Cores/Threads: 8/16
      • Base/Boost Clock: 3.3 GHz / 5.1 GHz
      • TDP: 15-28W
      • Integrated GPU: Radeon 780M

    Potential New CPUs:

    • Ryzen 8040 Series: Higher base and boost clocks, improved power efficiency, and enhanced RDNA 2 or RDNA 3 integrated graphics.
    • Ryzen 9000 Series: Zen 5 architecture, up to 16 cores and 32 threads, improved AI processing capabilities, and better power efficiency.

    Framework has consistently updated its laptops with the latest Intel and AMD CPUs, so it seems we might be due for a refresh soon.

    What are your expectations for the next AMD mainboard refresh?

    Anon notices
  • Honestly, fuck this assertion that you can somehow infer a person's motivations and morals from what kind of pet companion they prefer. I've legit seen it argued that if you like dogs and don't like cats, you're "probably a rapist" because you "can't understand consent."

    I enjoy cats. I don't prefer to own one. Am I a monster because of this? How about, I just love my dog?

    Horns

    Vocals

    LGBTQ+ orgs blast Joe Biden's "cowardly" statement opposing surgeries for trans youth
  • Nahh, an article can present a point of view we deem to be "correct" while still engaging in clickbait and sensationalism. I'm not interested in clickbait or sensationalism, so I find that my filtering methods do a pretty good job of getting rid of most of the trash.

  • I was a long-time subscriber to Sync For Reddit, until the great third party app purge last year when I just boycotted Reddit altogether. Now, a year later, I'm looking to fill that content hole with Lemmy, and stumbled across Sync For Lemmy. I love it! The one functionality I miss from SFR was the embedded player for YouTube videos. It seems that YouTube links will open only in the YouTube app or the external web browser. Is there a plan to reimplement the built-in player?
