Many games think my native resolution is wrong
  • It's basically a compositor, on top or your main compositor. So games aren't aware of the outer compositor (which will be Gnome or KDE or whatever) and just see a display with whatever dimensions you give to it.

  • Harris and Trump are tied, poll finds. Here's why strategists say that's good for Democrats
  • The latest polls are now showing Harris slightly ahead (even to 4% lead). But it's way to early to make any strong conclusions.

    I'm certainly looking forward to their election predictor coming back up once the nominee is confirmed.

  • J.D. Vance's former trans friend speaks out about how he turned hateful
  • He articulated a feeling that had until then remained unformed: that I was obsessed with achievement in se — not as an end to something meaningful, but to win a social competition.

    • J.D Vance on Peter Thiel

    Vance seems to be a vapid social climber with no real principles of his own. I'm not sure if that's better or worse than an outright true believer.

  • Help with a AMD GPU in truenas scale
  • Using amdgpu on that card has been considered experimental ever since it was added like 6 years ago

    If I recall right, it hasn't been enabled by default simply because it is missing some features like analog TV out support (which most people don't want or need in 2024).

  • Solar to meet half of global electricity demand growth in 2024 and 2025
  • I read it as 1/2 of the 8% of growth. They later state that wind and solar combined is 3/4 of the 8% of growth.

    Solar alone is expected to meet roughly half of the growth in global electricity demand in 2024 and 2025 – with solar and wind combined meeting as much as 75% of growth.

    If I live in a red state, would it be better to vote for rfk to take votes away from trump?
  • I was under the impression that the OP wanted to vote tactically, but if that isn't relevant in their particular state, then they should vote their preference.

    Since RJK is an unhinged anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist, I would suggest voting for Biden, since it may move the needle for future elections.

  • Cheap, OpenWrt compatible routers with WiFi 6?
  • Do you need 6Ghz as well? Because I don't think there are any that OpenWRT supports yet.

    The Flint 2 suggestion is reasonable, although the firmware situation is currently a bit problematic with the stock version using an out of date Openwrt version due to issues with the open source drivers. But it should get resolved in the long run.

  • "America First" foreign policy: JD Vance wants to abandon Ukraine but bomb Mexico and Iran
  • Drug addiction is a mental health problem. Reducing supply may have some effect in reducing overdoses in the short term, but it doesn't solve the underlying issue, and it's likely that new and potentially even more dangerous sources will pop up quickly. And military action is absurdly heavy handed and unless Mexico are on board with it, I can't see it ending well (and even then).

    www.theguardian.com Bruce Lehrmann to stand trial on rape charges

    The 29-year-old faces two counts of rape, alleged to have occurred in Toowoomba, west of Brisbane, in October 2021

    Bruce Lehrmann to stand trial on rape charges

    Bruce Lehrmann has been committed to stand trial on rape charges.

    The 29-year-old faces two counts of rape, alleged to have occurred in Toowoomba, west of Brisbane, in October 2021.

    Magistrate Marc Howden found sufficient grounds to commit the former Liberal Party staffer to trial on Thursday, rejecting his argument that he had “no case to answer”, two-and-a-half weeks after the complainant gave her evidence and was cross-examined in closed court.

    “In my view, when considering the evidence as a whole, it is sufficient at this stage for me to reach a conclusion that a reasonable jury, properly instructed, could return a verdict of guilty,” Howden said.

    The trial will now be heard at the Toowoomba district court at a date to be set.

    Prior to Howden’s decision a packed courtroom heard facts agreed upon by Lehrmann’s barrister, Andrew Hoare KC, and prosecutor Nicole Friedewald, relating to the night and morning following 9 October 2021.

    It was agreed Lehrmann and the complainant, who cannot legally be named, met at a strip club after both had been drinking alcohol and the complainant had taken cocaine. The pair went on to take cocaine together and in the early hours of the morning took a taxi to a Toowoomba home where they engaged in consensual sex.

    However, the complainant then claims she awoke to find Lehrmann on top of and penetrating her without a condom, despite her having insisted upon contraception during their earlier consensual encounter.

    She alleges she pulled her body away and told him to “stop what you are doing” but that he instead climbed back on top of her saying “it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok”, continuing the unwanted sex before ejaculating inside her.

    After messaging her friends about the alleged assault on November 6, the complainant first went to police 20 days later.

    Friedewald told the court the complainant, as was “not uncommon” in cases of sexual assault, took some time to “come to terms with what had happened to her”, citing a message to her friend in which she said was “starting to feel really shit” and “hadn’t really processed what had happened” or admitted it to herself.

    “I just feel so shameful,” the complainant wrote to her friends. “Who is going to believe me?”

    This is the second blog post about the sched_ext, a BPF-based extensible scheduler class. In this blog post, I briefly update what has been happening in sched_ext, then introduce the scheduler architecture and the sched_ext API. After reading this, you should have a good understanding of the sched_e...

    • Support for asynchronous processing has been implemented. Nodes can choose (or be forced) to be scheduled asynchronously. The graph will not wait for the output of the node to continue processing but it will use the output of the previous cycle (or silence) instead. This adds one cycle of latency but it can avoid having some nodes blocking the processing graph. Non realtime streams and filters now also use this asynchronous processing instead of their own slightly broken version.

    • The concept of node.sync-group was added. This groups nodes with overlapping sync-group together when one of them sets the node.sync = true. This is now used to make sure all nodes are scheduled together when JACK transport is started so that they all see the same transport time.

    • Config parsing errors are reported earlier and much better with line and column numbers where the parsing started to fail.

    • Add support for mandatory metadata when negotiating buffer parameters. This can be used to only negotiate extra buffer planes when certain metadata is negotiated. One use case is the explicit sync support that requires 2 extra fds for the timelines.

    • Explicit sync metadata and support was added.

    • Support was added for making and using multiple data-loops in the server and clients. Support for CPU affinity and priorities was added to the data-loops as well.

    • The log topic debug levels can now be changed at runtime with metadata.

    • The log levels in the pulse server can be dynamically changed with a /core message.

    • The UCM conflicting devices patches were merged.

    • Add snapcast-discover module to stream to snapcast servers.

    • Rework how peers are linked and the counters are updated. Resume the peers when a node is unlinked and not yet processed. This should cause less occasional dropouts in the graph when reconnecting things.

    • Many GStreamer element updates.

    • Many more fixes and improvements.

    EDIT: Whoops, looks like a repost.

    www.collabora.com Smart audio filters with WirePlumber 0.5

    The smart audio filters policy in WirePlumber 0.5 is a welcomed convenience for users alike.

    Smart audio filters with WirePlumber 0.5

    tl;dr this allows one to link Pipewire filter chains (such as EQ) to specific devices automatically. Useful for system-wide EQ, noise filters etc, especially multiple filters together. In particular, it all happens transparently so you can just connect to your normal hardware output and it should just work.

    You could already do this manually with some work, but this should be simpler and more robust. I suspect this will help with the Steam Deck too, which uses some filters to correct the built-in speakers, and this has caused bugs at times.
