The only label on the map that's both on Latin and in old German.

Is OpenBSD seriously still using CVS for development?

And "nothing" does not fit, either.

Nvidia transitioning to open-source GPU kernel modules for Linux — R560 and later default to open-source for Turing and newer graphics cards in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca
[–] waigl@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Maybe I’ll consider Nvidia for my next GPU.

I won't. Not until things improve a lot more. I'm not in a hurry to forget their past behavior.

Nitpick: The kernel modules are not the whole driver. There are substantial portions of it running in userspace, which will not be opened. (For AMD, those are open, too.) This does not "complete" the move away from proprietary drivers, at best it's starting it.

The closed-source kernel modules are the parts causing most of the headaches and legal uncertainties when using Nvidia GPUs, though.

The sentences are 5 years in one case and 4 in the others.

Ubuntu Linux Squeezes ~20% More Performance Than Windows 11 On New AMD Zen 4 Threadripper Review in c/linux@programming.dev

"Squeezes", "20%". Interesting word choice. Feels almost like downplaying. When, in reality, 20% is massive, especially on a CPU like the Threadripper.

I mean, that is exactly what has happened…

How are lemmy and kbin related? (lemmy.world)
 

I see kbin.social mentioned here and there where lemmy is discussed. How are those two related? Are they linked up, or are those completely separate communities?

Comment posts to some other instances don't work (lemmy.world)
 

In some cases when I post a comment to a topic on a different instance, the comment will seemingly just disappear into thin air. Posting and commenting to the Lemmy Support community seems to work mostly fine, even though it is on lemmy.ml while my account is on lemmy.world. Any comments I tried to make on feddit.de just plain disappeared, though, no trace of them anywhere, not in my profile, not in the discussion thread, not even on the actual feddit.de instance.

Any idea what's going wrong here?

Any way to disable the automatic blurring of images from NSFW posts? (lemmy.world)
 

See title, is there any way to make lemmy not automatically blur the image thumbnails in posts marked as "NSFW"?
