I'm a man, but if I hadn't already gotten the vaccine, I might do it just in case anyway.

Honestly Lemmy and Piefed looking like Reddit from 10 years ago is a feature, not a big, to me.

Welp been nice knowing y'all. Guess my DSA membership means I'll be deported to Venezuela soon.

Seriously, Chip.....fuck off.

This is what I imagine is on the other end of the bug reports, tickets, and emails I get from people that send AI-generated slop.

He already forgot he did this one already from the dementia.

You can run it unactivated, but it reduces some functionality. The installer has a "I don't have a product key" option to bypass the key entry screen.

You can click the small link at the bottom of the installer that says "I don't have a product key" and proceed through. It will then ask you what edition of Windows you want to install. This is because many PCs have hardware entitlements, so they never got a key.

The only limitation is you can't customize your desktop/themes and there will be a permeant watermark in the lower right corner asking you to activate.

I'm aware of this as well. I was more talking about legal means of licensing.

I hate how the author frames Linux as "cheap". Just because it's open source and free does not mean people use it because it's cheap. They use it because they're tired of the shit. Windows is "free", too, if you never activate it.

Intel B580 Gamers (lemmy.world)

Hey all!

I'm currently looking to upgrade my Radeon 6600 8GB GPU in my primary gaming rig and I'm currently torn between the Radeon 9600 XT 16GB, which is a "known variable" or the Intel B580 12GB. Obviously, the B580 is around $75-100 cheaper comparing MSRP to MSRP and I've been seeing both pop randomly into stock the last few weeks where I could nab either with a properly timed deal alert.

I'm wondering how all of you Intel Battlemage gamers on Linux have been enjoying your cards. I know Intel has done a lot of work to make it work well on Linux, but there is MUCH less coverage of performance on Linux than on Windows. Most stuff I see is from launch time, which is 6+ months ago, and I know driver support has gained a lot of ground since then.

My primary rig is an AM4-based system with a 5800X CPU, so REBAR and PCIe 4.0 are not a problem for me.
