I think Super and Fusion are perfectly played together. Kind of like Ocarina of Time and Majora's mask.

The former "perfected" the formula, the latter corrupts it and subverts your expectations.

All are good on their own, but together they sing

    She was so against this a few months ago. Her having changed her stance on this is a good thing, but she's not exactly known for working fast.

    They had another expert group going to regulate AI by the late summer of 2026, but had to go into new hearings and shit, so it's now slated for late 2027.

    I fear the same for the glasses ban. Basically, when they finally get around to it, it'll be too little, too late, since they can wreak havoc in just two years

    Yeah, I recognize him easily. I have this lightbulb memory of learning that a friend of mine was playing piano when I heard him perfectly play the piano melody to "Feel"

    It's one of those things where the royal family has no actual political power vested in them, yet at the same time this particular king and queen has used their royal influence to better people's lives wherever they can.

    Like, even if they have no power, being king and queen turns heads, and they've used this to make sure people are heard, people are unified and important things come to light.

    They've highlighted the importance of diversity, gay rights, religious freedoms and all that entails. This king has used his influence to right the wrongs he's seen in how indigenous people have been treated, they've travelled to areas after natural disasters to help with relief work while in rubber boots and work jackets while the areas were still dangerous. Left the fancy suit and stuff at home and went out to help.

    For Norway, I think a lot of people see the king as their kind grandpa who still believed in the good in the hearts of the people. That grandpa who didn't become more radicalized the older he got. The kind of man who listened to his son's girlfriend's troubled past full of poor choices and still said "No problem. You're still welcome here."

    I think the world is a little bit poorer without him, even if I mostly don't like monarchs and monarchies. Power doesn't corrupt as much as it reveals, and with him, I feel it revealed a man with strong morals and a good heart. He also says he has full faith in his son to continue that work and that spirit, and even though his family is very controversial, I want to believe in the late king's judgement.

    But yeah, hereditary monarchies ARE weird as fuck, but they can also be used for good.

    Yeah, you raise a good point there. I am not a huge social media person either, so I was kind of under the impression that instagram would be at the very least a little bit better than twitter, but I concede that it's entirely based on vibes.

    Maybe it's for advertisers or start-ups who want to figure out where the biggest audience is?

    But then again, how do we know these numbers aren't just bots?

    Guess it's a weird side thing for me. On the one hand, I probably won't use this knowledge for anything, but I'm glad to have heard it, if nothing else. Weird.

  • GPU questions (pawb.social)
     

    Hi y'all! I've been using Nvidia GPUs for about all my life, but have been hearing how AMD usually plays nicer with Linux.

    I'm somewhat new to this OS and all the distros, and I was wondering if you could help me with understanding some of the differences.

    I currently have a 4080 from Nvidia, and I use it for both content creation and gaming. Back when I was picking out my new GPU, I wanted to pick the 7900 XTX from AMD, but I was on windows back then and the two GPUs were the exact same price in my region, so I figured I might as well pick that.

    Fast forward to today and I am noticing that the 4080 is struggling a bit with games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. (I'm getting forty fps on medium/high settings with 1440p) and I see some people suggest it is because of the translation overhead of Nvidia via Proton, and that this would be reduced with AMDs GPUs, but I'm not entirely sure how much there is to gain here, really.

    So.. TL:DR; What is gained and what is lost if I were to sell the 4080 and switch to AMDs 7900XTX or 9070XT?

    I'm on arch Nobara, btw

     

    But I've got two doubts remaining.

    Currently, I'm running Windows 11, but I'd still like the ability to dual boot for certain games which don't necessarily work with Linux for various reasons. Is it possible to move a windows install to a different drive and then install Linux on the main drive instead?

    If yes, how do I do it?

    Second doubt is if I'll have many issues daily driving Linux if I have an Nvidia card

     

    Hey! I've been wanting to make the switch to Linux for a while now, and I've dual booted Mint for a while. I realize that most games work well with Linux, but I can't seem to get my Elgato HD60 Pro to work. (Pci-e capture card)

    I just want to be able to grab gameplay with HDMI passthrough on Linux, and right now, this is my biggest hurdle (along with Adobe not working well, but I'm gonna switch to davinci resolve for that)

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, guys. I work at a school where we use iPads for music education. We've got a bit of an issue though. Some kids delete other people's music projects, and that obviously sucks.

    Is there a way to lock certain files so the kids can give their own files their own password protection or something so nobody gets their stuff sabotaged?

    Other creative solutions are appreciated as well!

    Thanks guys!

    Edit: The music room has a Mac, so thanks to your helpful suggestions, we're gonna try with the AirDrop method where they drop to the host machine that the teacher has access to.

    Hi, new here to this instance. Also first post on Lemmy, I guess? Sorry if this is the wrong place. There was no "games"-community here, and I wanted to share with the local instance.

    Anyway, wanted to recommend some games I've played recently that are somewhat "furry" in their themes.

    • Pseudoregalia A really fun N64 inspired metroidvania where you play as a goat-lady who has to escape a dream world. Extremely satisfying movement and optional costumes to earn. It's great!

    • Corn Kidz 64 A really fun N64 inspired collect-a-thon where you play as a goat-kid who has to escape a dream world. Extremely satisfying movement and... Uh... They sound really similar now that I write it out, but they're real fun.

    • FUGA: Melodies of Steel Tactical RPG where you control children in a big-ass tank. It takes place during """World War 2""" and sports perma-death for the children. Really dark, but really good too. Sequel recently came out too.
