Now this is gaming

I was thinking physics processing. Cloth/soft body sim, smoke/dust and other particle physics, potentially water physics, and so on.

Who do we think is ZLUDA’s new backer? 10 bucks says it’s Valve. Tbh I don’t really believe that myself since Valve has been pretty transparent in its funding, but who else stands to gain as much?

Yestermorrow

I probably could have phrased that better. Why are the projects that are being funded significant? Apologies.

Can someone give me a rundown on why the projects being funded are significant?

I wouldn’t call it unproductive. We live in an era where things “just work,” and when they don’t then you end up with complications. Would a business switch to Linux if they see that network problems are a possibility? Maybe when they’re looking to upgrade their hardware, but even then they’d have to get their IT department to research hardware that will “just work” with Linux. And after that, they need to find a commercial wholesaler to provide the kit or have the company custom build however many PCs themselves, just so they don’t end up having financial losses due to failed network connections. Would they put Linux on their current hardware? Hell no. Windows is a known quantity and no business is going to risk losses by introducing a potentially risky operating system to their systems/workflow. It is good to point out the issues with the OS so that those issues can be fixed. It’s good to hear the perspectives of the everyman if we want Linux to grow.

Nah man, that’s not a river

Just read it. That is a very bad source. It does the same thing you did and just made unverified claims with no actual evidence. It also makes leaps in logic (e.g. “The word was meant to convey, at that time, the inferiority of Asian products to European products. By extension, Asians are also inferior to Europeans.”) It makes no mention of “rice boys” and so can’t support that claim either. In fact, while I’ve been doing your due diligence for the last hour, I haven’t found an appropriate historical source for any of this. Not on Google Scholar, not on Google proper, nor in my university’s library. The closest thing I’ve found for “rice boy” in particular is the dubious book of definitions that Wikipedia is using as a source for that claim. And the closest thing I’m finding for racist connotations of “rice burner” is from the book Far Eastern Tour which outlines its use in Korea by Canadians in reference to Korean support troops. Of course, the Oxford Dictionary has some information concerning the American etymology, but it is paywalled so I can’t access it.

And how dare you accuse me of rewriting history when you won’t make the slightest effort to research it yourself. What a shameful display of hypocrisy.

You’re the one who made the claim so the onus is on you to provide a source. That’s literally the most basic thing a person learns in academia. You can’t claim that “facts are facts” without providing proof of those facts.

Furthermore, you can hold Americocentric views without being American. That’s the whole purpose behind American cultural exports.

What an Americocentric attitude. Gross.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry

Snap annoys the piss outta me because of the forced updates. That said, never ever had a snap package not work for me. Whereas installing some things from apt just doesn’t work for whatever reason.

Lmao, these are Canadian dollars, remember. Either way, it’s $300 cheaper at Costco than the price listed on HP.

Lol, I wish I could but that level of programming is beyond my abilities.

Hm, website indicates that it should work but that there may be no audio. Might be a no-go then :(

They always make the devil so hot. Yes, yes, I’m very sure you’re pious.

That Ciri?

Problems that have been created by capitalism

It’s literally right there.

Both war and environmental catastrophes existed prior to capitalism…
