🀬 How I really feel about it. https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/30481646 (Warning: It's a Kanye meme)

Fair enough. I've got a 3060 and 4060ti installed, and I need to buy a new PSU to power up a 1080ti externally.

I think the only thing I use that requires CUDA is Daz Studio, and I'm actually starting to lose interest in that.

The thing about Radeon is it's not just less money, it's also less performance, plus more work to set up. I bought a Radeon laptop just so I could try ROCm. It works, but it's no walk in the park. And when you're done, you don't get any benefit over using Nvidia. If AMD at least gave us more VRAM, that would be something.

I'll wait and see what they come out with. If I wanted to buy AMD, I'd just get a 7600 XT for $360 or so.

I've already got 3 Nvidia cards, so I'd need a real incentive from AMD to switch.

How about you?

That would be nice, but I'm not hopeful. I've pretty much given up on the higher-mid-range. I bought a 4060ti last year at MSRP, but now they're $700+.

I think I'm just going to buy more 3060s. They're plentiful and selling at MSRP, plus I've already got a PCIe extender setup.

I'm in the process of switching from Ubuntu/Mint to Fedora. I'm trying it on my laptop first; if that goes well, I've got 2 others to switch over.

I like small instances too, they feel more like a community. Unfortunately, most of the ones I've been on have shut down.

Now I try to look for an instance that takes donations. To me that means they take their job seriously, and they're not just doing it as a hobby or for learning experience.

For Lemmy, Mastodon, etc it probably doesn't matter, your messages will still be available if your instance disappears overnight. But with Peertube, try to go with a big, well established instance. Right now I have to re-post my videos to a new instance since libre.video kicked the bucket last year.

I didn't realize things were that bad at Nissan. I always thought Mazda would be the first to go.

Mastodon is still confusing to me. But that's probably because I've never been on Twitter, FB, Insta, etc.

I probably won't see Captain America:BNW anytime soon, but I enjoyed The Incredible Hulk.

One day it was the 18th largest Lemmy instance, then it just disappeared. No word from the owner or anything.
