Recently built a PC with an AMD GPU. Tried to figure out how to install AMD drivers, because Mint’s driver manager didn’t seem to offer anything like it would for nvidia… Turns out AMD drivers are just part of the Linux kernel and you don’t need to install them at all. Nice.

I did have one problem though - my hardware is too new and the kernel shipped with Mint doesn’t really support it yet. But it was surprisingly easy to install a newer kernel. And anyway for any PC that doesn’t use bleeding edge hardware, this would never be an issue.

<3 Mint and Linux

Call me crazy, but I think they should be kids.

Oh, it’s not a real (albeit miniscule) shock? Disappointing.

Modesty and decency demanded that men who showed themselves naked in a public setting, such as athletes or actors, must conceal their glans.

Naturally.

All top results on DuckDuckGo for naked running are about the literal meaning of it. Is it actually used as a term for tech-free (but clothed) running? Press X to doubt.

I’d call it “rawdog running” if anything, but that doesn’t sound right either.

There is literally a drawing app called procreate. Nothing about this joke is forced, it’s just a direct observation.

You anarchist!

Real talk though, I think specs are literally my favorite thing in the world. The truly great ones are so good that there’s never a real reason to deviate from them - if you do, you’re either doing something wrong or you’re taking a shortcut for a hobbyist project (which is fine, but not for anything mass-produced). USB is mostly one of those great specs. The cable you posted is an abomination. There is always a better way.

I did not know this. Are they allowed by the spec?

Sure, it would have, but I was following the time-honored tradition of reading only the title and the Lemmy comments without clicking through to the full article. If that comment hadn’t been there, it is possible that my intrigue and confusion would have been sufficient to make me betray my legacy and bring shame to my family by actually reading the linked article. Disaster avoided!

Oh, thanks, I needed that to understand what this was talking about.

Surely health insurance would be making a loss on this particular person.
