VA-API trouble intensifies

Can confirm. Don’t do it guys. Hardware acceleration for video decoding just doesn’t work for me.

Reading through the reported exchange, it sounds like someone wants to be Queen Bee, but was taken down a peg or two.

Boo hoo.

In case it wasn’t clear enough, the Federalist Society is THE (with capitals T,H,E) society for republican jurists and their members are movers and shakers of the world. I’m not from the US but the influence of US policy permeates into every aspect of life everywhere.

What is this I don’t even

Scratch that, you can theoretically download the fonts from Apple, it comes with OTF/TTF embedded within their .dmg. Not advocating for any breach of licensing terms.

This is 100% me but for Lemmy.

Thank you for bringing rigour and structure to the discussion as opposed to sheer speculation. Take my upvote pretty please.

My guess for this and cheesebro’s request is so that they don’t become bankrupt over the legal process. tangerine turd can afford to drag out the process indefinitely by soliciting donations from freedumb patriots but not these stooges. Ghouliani is what happens to them all eventually, and I’m giddy with anticipation.

Do you use the ttf/off version? I just tried to install them in KDE (off some sketchy git repo) but they look really wonky as a UI don’t.

JetBrains Mono NF masterrace represents!

Honestly if I have to choose only one mono font family to use for the rest of my natural life, JetBrains Mono without a shred of a doubt.

This was before he discovered that Jenson was an aborted spawn of lucifer himself.

Same, does it work? If it means booting into a DE and being able to move your mouse and type on your keyboard, sure most distros can do that.

It’s those little gotchas everywhere that gets you. Enabling video acceleration on Nvidia in firefox? Getting LDAC to work on Bluetooth? Etc. etc.

Do most distros work? Yeah, only if you don’t mind software encoding, or compiling from some user-provided repos.

I have a few hobby boxes running all flavours of distros, but whenever I need something to just work with no caveats, I go back to w11.

“NEVER SURRENDER!”, he tweets, while surrendering to Fulton County Jail.

Self proclaimed billionaire needing to pay a bondsman to post a $200k bail -https://edition.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-georgia-surrender-indictment-08-24-23/h_6ffaca91cdc334edafa9f3a1a9c5be8c

Laughably embarrassing. But I’m not surprised if the bondsman waived even the 10% fee just for the free publicity.

100% this. He’d be a laughable witness against drumpf and all drumpf’s lawyers need to do is to cast reasonable bout in his testimony, There are a few obvious ones, like substance abuse, habitual lying, leaked tapes, financial embarrasment, etc. There’s also always a chance he’d make the whole process a clown show by sprouting off random ramblings and conspiracy theories on the stand. Drumpf’s attorneys could also easily push all the blame to Rudy by invoking the advice of counsel defence.

Yes indeed, it just works when I need it to. Just 10 minutes ago I regretted installing Arch as I had some trouble trying to get my WH1000XM4 to connect. I was able to figure it out eventually as I was missing a bunch of missing packages for bluetooth and bluetooth audio that for some reason archinstall decided wasn’t part of the core packages. There was zero prompts from KDE as to why the pairing was failing and I had to figure out with some trial and error which ones were missing and which ones I needed. And after doing all that I still couldn’t get LDAC to work.

Seriously reflecting on my life choices right now, should have stuck to a distro with some sensible defaults when I just need shit to work. Of all the problems people have with M$, windows always just worked for me. Perhaps Linux and I just aren’t fated to be together. I always come back a couple of times a year to try out the state of Linux and while it has gotten a whole lot better, its always these little gotchas that result in me telling myself “maybe next year will be the year of linux”, which has been happening for the past ~15 years for me now.

Same, my next GPU will likely be an AMD or Intel, been itching to give Intel my money for sometime. They need battlemage to just barely keep up with the same generation xx60ti and they’ve got my business.

Ditto, really respect what System76 has done but I need a long break from Ubuntu and GNOME. Looking forward to Cosmic DE but until it’s mature it is difficult to see how far they’d get.
