If this week's stock prices mean anything that train ran out of rails. The two big AI companies are out of time and the money isn't flowing in. NVIDIA and AMD will be fine but the buyers of warehouses of hardware can't keep doing that much longer.

    Mobile or desktop, my preferred interface is mlmym (aka old.lemmy). Unfortunately .ml doesn't host it, I left .ml partially for that reason (and partially for others) to move to lemmy.today which has old.lemmy.today. As a 10+ year old.reddit user I find the old Reddit interface ideal, and mlmym is very faithful at recreating it (and actually fits it better on mobile than real old.reddit).

    Lemmy isn't one big place like Reddit is, it's a bunch of different services that connect with each other. The rules of what are and are not allowed varies instance to instance, and some instances block others entirely ("defederate") so if your instance does not allow porn, they likely defederated with instances that do. Either way, if you use the subscribed feed you shouldn't see things outside of the communities you've subscribed to, and communities also have their own rules (usually more specific than the overall instance rules, same as a subreddit's rules vs. reddit's sitewide rules).

    I've tested two different forks of DroidDeck that add Mali support, one using the system's blob Vulkan driver and the other using an Android kernel compatible PanVK fork. Both methods got into games, I'm excited that a mesa (PanVK) fork that can run on Android exists now as that was the breakthrough that made Snapdragon chips the preferred option for Android gaming.

    For the most part I think this is a good thing. They are right, Discord has largely replaced public forums for community spaces. The old forums were searchable and indexed by Google and other search engines so why not Discord? I have a Discord community for my open source project OpenRGB. I started it off of someone's suggestion on a GitLab issue bacl when the project was just getting started and it's grown to 20K+ users. While I'm not the biggest fan of relying on a proprietary platform like Discord, my attempts to set up alternate spaces on Matrix and Discord-like Spacebar did not get any traction. There's now 6+ years of project history locked up in Discord conversations. I feel like Google being able to index that will ultimately help reduce seeing repeat questions. While I'm not the biggest fan of AI training on my data, for informative and instructional content I'd prefer the AI overview be giving out accurate and up-to-date information than outdated or inaccurate information. Discord is where questions get answered these days for a lot of communities so it's where the accurate information is.

    I bought a used Pixel Fold at the beginning of the year because it was cheap. It was clearly used, needed a good cleaning and has some scratches when I got it. I've been using it heavily since, opening and closing it daily. There are a few dead pixels but I think those were there when I got it, otherwise it still works fine.

    Hopefully it involves outdated datacenter GPUs flooding the open market to try and recoup what they can, selling for pennies on the dollar to anyone who will buy them, and thus people figuring out how to adapt these cards to work in consumer systems.

    The worse part is requiring secure boot, as if I wanted to have a dual kernel set up (my nornal, unsigned, I own my hardware and do what I want with it kernel and my locked down, M$ approved and signed, we own you epic games kernel) I can't just switch between them with a bootloader like rEFInd or GRUB, I have to go and enable secure boot each time in the BIOS. You don't need secure boot to play Fortnite on Windows. This is worse somehow.

    A follow up to my earlier post about the leds-valve DKMS module, now it is usable within the latest experimental build of OpenRGB itself as long as that leds-valve module is loaded.

    Support for the #Valve #SteamMachine under #Linux has been merged into #OpenRGB. This relies on the leds-valve kernel module that is included in the SteamOS kernel. A DKMS package is available to install this kernel module on #Arch and #Debian distros:

    https://gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/leds-valve-dkms

    or AUR leds-valve-dkms-git

     

    I made a DKMS package for Valve's leds-valve driver, the Linux kernel driver that drives the LED strip in the Steam Machine. I also made an AUR package leds-valve-dkms-git. The GitLab repo has a Debian build in the build artifacts though I haven't tested it, but it works on Arch.

    I am working on a controller in OpenRGB to use this driver, it still needs some cleanup but I have it working. There is a lot of room for optimization as the interface leds-valve exposes only allows writing one LED at a time but refreshes the whole strip for every change. I'd like to add an additional path to send the whole strip at once go get better update rates but this will require a change to the leds-valve driver directly.
