Finally, someone who respects the spirit of Christmas. Drug dealers want to stay home with their families too!

It opened for me on Android. Full article.

I just looked at my Steam stats today and 52% is RT3. There may be plenty of games that surpass it in visuals, but game mechanics are a different story, and without a stock market I don't see much of a point.

I played Tropico 3-5, but gave up after they refused to give us highways and overpasses.

Just keep it open. Can't hurt. I've got accounts at 3 credit unions (1 online, 2 local). Being in the military years ago, I saw a lot of people who's accounts were hacked and how much it sucks to have no money at all, so I don't keep all my money in one place.

That's pretty sweet. Thanks to a certain semiconductor stock, I'm up 100% for the year, as of last weekend. Meaningless milestones rock.

AMD APUs have Video Coding Engine / Unified Video Decoder, while Intel CPUs have QuickSync. FFMPEG's hardware page says that AMD support is incomplete.

You may want to ask over in !datahoarder@lemmy.ml . This topic often came up back on Reddit, and the general vibe I got was that most people prefer QuickSync. Intel may not be great in a lot of areas, but they are a beast in video encoding/decoding. That being said, I use a Ryzen APU and it's perfectly fine. There are way more important things to look at when choosing a CPU.

If your performance is slow, I would check your CPU is listed on the chart I linked above. Not all CPUs support all codecs.

Edit: If your CPU doesn't support the codec, it will still work, it just won't be accelerated.

That was the second instance I was on that disappeared (the other was Vlemmy.net). Now I'm starting to see why everyone wants to be on the big instances, less chance of them going down.

As far as I could tell, lib.lgbt didn't have a donation page. It's surprising how many instances don't even bother to put up one.

Ugh, life imitates art, I guess. This reminds me of the SNL "All drug Olympics" sketch where a guy was using a whole list of drugs, ending with "some sort of fish paralyzer". Somebody get me off this planet.

Let's see. Where did I leave that picture of myself? Oh yeah, here it is: https://www.thispersondoesnotexist.com/

Looks like it'll be able to live up to all the hype. Hopefully AMD is improving ROCm to match. Customers won't buy it if it's still a pain in the ass to use.

Ahh, ok. I do mine yearly, at the same time I do my taxes. I only wish I'd started doing it decades ago.
