About 500,000 trees cut down at site of Tesla gigafactory near Berlin
  • I remember when climate activists were storming this factory and Lemmy users berated me for calling out the fact that Tesla factories and electric cars in general are a fucking disaster for the environment. It's pathetic how easily people are convinced that 10 tonnes of e-waste is the solution to the toxic sludge slowly drowning us all

    Microsoft’s latest security update has ruined dual-boot Windows and Linux PCs
  • This is a regular occurrence and honestly we need to stop recommending dual boot. Use separate drives if you need to, but sharing the same drive is destined to brick something

    A Hamas leader says they will give up governing Gaza, but won’t lay down arms
  • Because the idea that America is a "peacemaker" and that Hamas is an ontologically evil party on par with Israel is an easy way out of having to recognise that the US government is actually a barrier to peace around the world.

    A Hamas leader says they will give up governing Gaza, but won’t lay down arms
  • Actual brainworm comment. Maybe take a look at the proposals in the Camp David/Oslo accords and consider why Israel was so excited to sign a "peace deal" which have them 80% of the land, 100% of the military control, and total domination of political and economic affairs over Palestine.

    PSA: Alternatives for the most popular lemmy.ml communities
  • As I said, feel free to log into Reddit dot com if your goal is to experience the internet fed to you by the US state department. Spamming muh tiannamen or muh russia when you're clearly fine with SOME war crime denialism is the sign of a mind that clearly isn't ready to graduate from the funko pop subreddit.

    YSK Lemmy.World is fundraising for a Zionist media lobby
  • Yeah turns out when you bomb half a million kids into the fucking Earth people begin to question your ideology beyond a few trolls.

    What a fucking moronic take.

    GNOME Foundation Announces Transition of Executive Director | Holly Million stepping down after 10 months
  • for sure, I thought the hire was weird in the first place. Did just mean that it doesn't look like GNOME fired her lol.

    She did do some good stuff but GNOME really did get what they asked for

    Discussion: Do you donate financially to any OSS projects?
  • Rarely, but I've contributed to a couple that I use.

    Also, just a note that writing big reports is a valid contribution! It can really help both the regular maintainers finding and fixing bugs, but also gives new devs more potential work to pick up for first contributions.

  • GNOME announced an interim director of Richard Littauer, who joined last week.

    Holly's resignation appears to be personal, as she intends to pursue a PhD in Psychology.

    Multi-part "sample" mkvs refusing to import into plex
  • Yeah I didn't realise they were rar formats from how they show up on disk - Usually people name.their.torrents.like.this so it fucks up typical file name conventions.

    I'll keep that in mind too, thanks! Not using qbitmanage yet though I'll have to look into that 👀

    Multi-part "sample" mkvs refusing to import into plex

    America's Choice
  • It's even worse, though. They've all seen the emperor without his clothes - barely able to form a coherent sentence whilst his aides scramble to keep him from mentally deteriorating into a coma before November. Yet I'm watching liberals convince themselves that his PR-controlled twitter is somehow evidence that the president is not only lucid but competent.

  • Normally my *arr -> Plex setup is quite painless, but lately I've had a bunch of imports failing which appear to be multi-part files with a .MKV file in a "sample" subdirectory.

    Does anyone know if I can sort it so these files import properly? Or how to filter them before downloading? I'd rather a fix if possible because certain torrents don't have many options.

    Sure, I could just google this, and I have! However, the results are a bit confusing:

    Plex Documentation

    "Only Intel and Nvidia" Sure, cool.

    Literally every other forum discussing this stuff

    "Oh yeah I used my [Not Intel or Nvidia chip] and it worked out of the box"

    So which is it? Because I'm really not interested on supporting Intel, but if getting HW Transcoding Plex requires them then I'll have to consider migrating to Jellyfin.

    github.com GitHub - DavidS95/Smokeless_UMAF

    Contribute to DavidS95/Smokeless_UMAF development by creating an account on GitHub.

    What is it?

    You can use Smokeless_UMAF to configure almost all options on AMD systems including UMA Buffer size (For systems like the steamdeck and laptops), RAM overclocking, CPU power states and voltage settings, and much more, even if your system's BIOS doesn't expose the option for you.

    Tutorial for increasing your UMA buffer on an AMD Phoenix Laptop

    Boot into a FAT32 drive with the downloaded Zip extracted to the root, and then use the "Device Manager" section to locate the UMA buffer size.

    The location within the utility is at

    Device Manager > AMD CBS > NBIO Common Options.

    Once set, back out and apply the changes, rebooting your system. You can then confirm that the option has been applied by checking your system monitor of choice (Windows > Task Manager, Linux > Whatever) and checking to see if your available RAM has decreased (indicating greater allocation of memory to the iGPU).

    This may not remain applied through BIOS updates, and may cause hardware damage if misconfigured, and may result in an unbootable system if misused or by chance. You may need to reset your BIOS if that's the case, if possible by your system manufacturer.

    Child Polygon2Ds of a nav mesh by default act as obstacles, so the nav mesh avoids them. However, I just want to use the Polygon2D as the source for the nav region and remain its own node so I can do stuff like, modulate it when the player hovers over it with their cursor.

    I haven't seen the update come through to my system but since I have a more-than-slightly-borked grub setup, I have a feeling it could be to do with that.

    m.youtube.com Yuzu is dead

    Yuzu - the popular Nintendo Switch Emulator (and recently Citra - a 3ds emulator developed by the same team as Yuzu) is dead. Nintendo has settled with Yuzu ...

    A sad day for emulation and open source advocates, and a reminder that Nintendo can and will destroy you if they see fit.

    Hopefully their works will live in the saved repos just as ReVanced was able to live on after YouTube shut the original project down.

    The title explains it well. But I installed Mint on a 2nd partition, then deleted it since I no longer used it, and now Grub dumps me to the command line on boot :/

    How do I recover?

    EDIT: gonna give up. Fuck grub lmao EDIT2: Just reinstalled mint and used the grub it gives to fix everything lmfao

    I have a Lenovo 14aPH8 (Ideapad 5 gen 8?) which has a high DPI Screen with an AMD 7840HS (780m iGPU).

    It's giving a bunch of memory corruption when on youtube in fullscreen, or before I reduce the resolution of a fullscreen application (Assetto Corsa Competizione is the only I've tried so far) from the native resolution to 1080p.

    I previously RMA'd the Laptop due to similar artifacts on Pop!OS, and they confirmed the entire motherboard was replaced. However, the artifacts didn't go away so I tried KDE Neon which thankfully didn't have the same issues, until I tried gaming and youtube.On X11, the issues are gone, but as a fan of fractional scaling and touchscreen gestures I'm still using Wayland.

    While this could be a hardware issue (I can't confirm as the laptop is so new not many people have it, let alone on linux) I'm sure this is software related because it only happens on X11, and I've also seem similar reports by nVidia users on Wayland.

    Anyone able to signpost me if this isn't something KDE devs can investigate? I know a lot of them are active within the Wayland space so I thought asking here would be a good idea :)

    ***

    EDIT: Looks like there's some upstream bug in the DRM with variable refresh rates and/or adaptive sync. Disabling it in KDE's settings seems to sort the problem in Youtube/games. Can't say the same for anyone else tho

    I've installed Pop!OS after getting my Lenovo Ideapad Pro 5 back from the warranty repair. Supposedly they changed the motherboard (which I don't doubt, it was waiting a week for new parts apparently), but even after that I'm still getting graphical errors and bugs when moving between desktops and other window animations. I know X11 can be a bit buggy at best, so it could just be that on top of the newer SoC.

    They like to hide under the leaves but I usually catch a few on the top. Have been turning my mint into patchy grey leaves that eventually wither and fall off.
