This is complicated. Firstly outside of Wayland Nvidia works pretty great and has worked great for me 21 years on the other hand the amount spent is kinda irrelevant using different hardware is often actually the correct advice. Often though the logical move is use Windows on your effectively Windows only laptop and if you want to run Linux buy something compatible next go round.
Some hardware just isn’t supported and given hostile to indifferent oems it will always be so
Already compressed files like video don’t meaningfully compress more. Compression isn’t magic.
Once you start hosting an instance that has open registration, it’s not just “their house” anymore. They are providing a service to people. They do so willingly. Arbitrairly blocking instances because you don’t know how something works and don’t bother to check it isn’t the way to host a free and open instance.
You seem to be uniquely bad at reading so this is comment is the start of this subthread you originally replied to. Nobody ever suggested they COULDN’T implement any rule they please. It was never a point anyone brought up for you to be refuting. It is literally you dishonestly trying to steer the discussion away from the actual point of discussing SHOULD they.
The discussion is not whether they can set those rules its should they and should we keep participating
So is discussion on the topic of piracy that doesn’t include actual links to content.
The law in the US is that you aren’t responsible for what your users post unless you are specifically legally notified and furthermore the communities at issue don’t host links to infringing content they host discussions on the topic
Feel free to leave if this is how you talk to people
They CAN do all of those things but people would be right to critique them for it. Freedom isn’t freedom from criticism or complaint. Furthermore they want this to be a functional community as much as their users do which is why this discussion even exists.
It would be preferable if you would lie less. Evil pirate uploads potentially_infringing.mp3 to to filehost. Filehost actually serves potentially_infringing.mp3, a community on db0 hosts a link to potentially_infringing.mp3, lemmy.world caches locally a copy of data from db0. Of those the one guy directly uploading the information is at risk of an extremely unlikely single digit thousands of dollars.
Nobody not even evil pirate himself is at risk of decades in prison or millions in debt. Companies responsibility basically ends at taking stuff down when specifically notified of infringing content.
On most phones the end result will look fairly poor AND it will be a pain in the ass.
It’s interesting actually. There are both games with insane budgets that cost more that than triple A games in years past and incredible tooling and assets available for very modest amounts of money + incredibly powerful computers very little. It’s possible for some games to be made for less than ever before AND some to be made for more.
Again what is “right wing” about that shouldn’t you be railing about misogyny which transcends the political spectrum.
Lets imagine a “poor” family. They receive $800 per month in subsidy for their health insurance and $400 per month in food stamps. This means the government believes that without these things they would have $14,000 too little to afford to live.
With those subsidies which aren’t calibrated to the penny they may well be able to afford such amazing niceties as $20 a month for a cell phone $50 a month for internet service. The ability to pay a relative pittance for nicities which are barely optional now if you want to have a decent crack at educational or job opportunities doesn’t mean they didn’t in fact need the $14,000 in help. Without it they not only wouldn’t have those things they might well not have enough to eat or medical care their family needs.
Moreover such benefits are based on current need. When a person loses their job nobody shows up to collect their phone, laptop, nice clothes and other things so they can fit in their new role as one of the poors.
Nobody is lying. You really can get between $20 and $300 a person. Even $20 extra per month is $240 per year $55 is $660 per year.
I wonder if how bad they are at come ons is actually a factor. A normal guy approaching in a socially acceptable fashion actually gets some yes and eventually goes off the market temporarily or permanently whereas psycho joe presumably is always offending always failing.
I’m married but I still approve this message.
What is right wing about suggesting woman carry pepper spray to deal with shitheads who wont take no for an answer?
He didn’t give psychos a pass, he didn’t mansplain, he didn’t say it was on woman to teach men boundaries. Those are just things YOU said.
He said you should be reasonably prudent but that you shouldn’t live in fear. This is reasonable advice
If your hardware isn’t supported what are people supposed to say? Gosh I’m sorry volunteers didn’t donate more free work to make that shitty laptop work let me now assemble a strike force of expert programs to crack that problem by next week? Labor is a finite resource especially free labor.
