  • I’m using fedora 42 kde on my new laptop since I couldn’t get mint working - fucking visit drivers.

    Anywho, doom: the dark ages runs like wet ass and I’m wondering if it has something to do with video codecs or mesa )don’t know what mesa is and there’s a 5080 in there.

    I reinstalled tempeh and all my videos work, but - any chance you could point me towards what to do with the video codecs just so I can confirm? If you can offer some guidance on how to install whatever mesa is I want to try that to see if it helps (even though afaik the game should be using the ncidia drivers anyway).

    The laptop has a ryzen cpu btw.

    Also cool if you can’t help. Figured I’d ask. I’m new to fedora.

    Edit: it just suddenly works fine now for no particular reason.





  • I really don’t understand this perspective. I truly don’t.

    You see a new technology with flaws and just assume that those flaws will always be there and the technology will never progress.

    Like. Do you honestly think this is the one technology that researchers are just going to say “it’s fine as-is, let’s just stop improving it”?

    You don’t understand the first thing about how it works but people like you are SO certain that the way it is now is how it will always be, and that because there are flaws developing it further is pointless.

    I just don’t get it.







  • Every other country with first past the post parting has third and fourth parties that actually win seats.

    I’d agree with the overall point of your comment though. First past the post is problematic and does tend towards favouring two parties, though to my knowledge out all of the countries that employ FPTP the us is the only one where people believe there are only two possible options.

    Coalitions are formed all the time in Canada between our two most popular parties and smaller parties.




  • Patents can’t be owned by companies. Only individuals. In the event of any patent being the result of a team effort each person responsible for its development is gets a proportion of profits from it.

    If person develops a patent while employed at a corporation that company owns a lease on the patent lasting 10 or 20 years or something .

    I’m sure there’s holes in this you can drive a truck through but high level I feel like there is something there.

    I also can’t be arsed to flesh it out further.
