Speaking only one language has nothing to do with this, there have always been subtitles.

YouTube does this so that one way or another they can say that more people use AI translations, and that shows investors there's value in AI and Google gets more investments.

(Laser) Printer go brrrr in c/memes@sopuli.xyz
[–] edinbruh@feddit.it 58 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Laser printers are the best. You sacrifice the quality of dense pictures, but gain incomparable speed and reliability. It's especially worth it if you print less often, because the ink dries up if you don't print every once in a while and you end up buying new ink even though the cartridge is full, but the toner just sits there indefinitely.

Only 16% of Italians would fight for their country, survey shows in c/europe@feddit.org
[–] edinbruh@feddit.it 24 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

You see, Italians hate their country, but at the same time think it's the best country (right until they need to do some bureaucracy, then it's the worst).

So they nationalisticaly defend it with words against other countries, but they wouldn't actually put skin in the game.

Perfect relationship in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev
[–] edinbruh@feddit.it 42 points 2 weeks ago

"Ternary operator" means "operator that takes three things", like unary and binary operators take one and two things.

In C there is an operator for conditional expressions (an 'if' that you can put inside expressions) and it looks like this condition ? trueBranch : falseBranch. It takes three expressions, so it's a ternary operator.

Except it's the only ternary operator in C (and most languages, if they have one at all), so instead of calling it something like "conditional operator", they just call it "the ternary operator"

AFAIK one of these are technical limitations, it's just design choices. But in my experience, the design choices made following the gnome design guidelines tend to make apps with tiny faces

Gnome does have a lot of strong points, I personally use both

Why can ffmpeg kmsgrab capture the tty without root permissions? (feddit.it)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by edinbruh@feddit.it to c/linux@lemmy.ml

I'm using sunshine for remote gaming on my Linux PC. Because I use Wayland and don't have an Nvidia I use kmsgrab for capture (under the hood sunshine uses ffmpeg).

I have noticed that I can enter tty and kmsgrab will capture it as well. If it just captured after logging in my user I wouldn't be surprised, but it also captures the login screen.

I autostart it at login using my systemd user configuration (not systemwide) so it should just have my user's permission level. I get the same results if I put it in KDE's autostart section, so it's not a systemd thing.

Why does that work? Shouldn't you need special privileges to capture everything?

The installation instructions tells you to do sudo setcap -r $(readlink -f $(which sunshine)) is this the reason why it works? What does the command do exactly?

[question] shadow of the tomb raider, native or proton-experimental (feddit.it)
 

SOTTR can now run in proton-experimental (it used to crash due to a missing vulkan feature), but how does it compare to the native version?

Normally I would just use the native version, but got the game from epic, which doesn't provide the native build. So if I wanted to run native I would have to acquire the game from other sources (keep in mind that I own the game on epic), which is less than ideal. But I wouldn't do it if there's no advantage.

Looking for testing of a driver for GPUs with Asus aura lights (feddit.it)
 

Do you have an AMD aura GPU? Do you also use Linux? There's this this driver that needs to be tested.

It allows you to control the lighting of the GPU using programs like openRGB.

I wrote that PR that should make it work for more GPUs, but I only have an RX 480 so I can only test that one. It would be useful to try it on a Vega gpu.

If you have an rDNA 1/2/3 GPU, it most likely won't work, but without the card there's nothing I can do.

On a side note, if you are interested in maintaining the driver it would be great.

Anyone else experiencing this? (feddit.it)
 

Detailed issue

Basically Kwin and other programs (simple xdg-desktop-portal or even gimp) crash and they bork the entire screen with no recovery other than rebooting. When the program that crash is Kwin it's particularly bad because it happens at login.

This is a short appreciation/user experience story. Tl;Dr I'm enjoying my time on linux

I have been using Linux for a while (gnome for a year with an Intel UHD gpu, and KDE for a couple of months on a recent AMD gpu), and till now there was no brightness slider. Moreover, I have used the same display with windows for several years and there was no slider as well.

As far as I know (I looked up online some years ago, but this info is sometimes hard to find) my display supports DDC/CI but doesn't expose brightness (haven't actually tried).

For some reason, about a week ago a brightness slider appeared on KDE but it didn't do anything. Yesterday while updating some unrelated stuff I noticed the slider again and moved it for shit and giggles, and the brightness actually changed...

I have several questions... and I don't even know which piece of software is responsible for this... but thanks

I have been using Linux on and off for several years, often alongside windows, but I have entirely switched to it (almost, I still have a windows PC that I use once in a while) about 16 months ago. I have to say that Linux does take a lot more effort in getting some things to work, but when everything goes smoothly it's sooo good, and improves every month.

In the span of a year my desktop experience has only got better. But the shock was when I booted up an Ubuntu 16.04 cd I had lying around to fix grub on a dual boot machine and it was barely usable. Now instead it's almost "plug and play". Plus Nvidia cards are getting more and more usable with every update, explicit sync is almost merged, and prime works fine already.

There won't be a year of the Linux desktop anytime soon (there's still too much that needs improvement), but the next years will definitely be exciting.

P.s.: does any of you know why display brightness works now?

PhysX on Batman Arkham Asylum (feddit.it)
 

I have a Nvidia gpu with the latest proprietary drivers, and I'm trying to play BAA from egs (using heroic) but physX doesn't work.

I have run the automatic winetricks (I don't know which ones because heroic doesn't tell) and I have tryed this also the environment variable PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1, but it still doesn't run on the gpu, even if the message "no hardware physx detected" stopped showing.

And if hardware acceleration doesn't work, I get the same behaviour on arkham city, but the game runs at double the framerate, even if using the cpu. Would it be possible to get asylum to run like city? I have tried swapping some dlls but nothing.
