While I don’t appreciate the undocumented stealth moderation (particularly where I named the place in the photo), my other deleted comment was super rude and definitely broke rule #1. I was out of line, so better that it’s gone.

Sorry WarmSoda, you didn’t deserve the hostility. Carry on, and may you avoid future asteroids.

Yeah you’re right. I was in a foul mood and shouldn’t have commented. Sorry 😞

Maybe not on this instance but I tend to browse “everything” (not just “subscribed”) since the Lemmyverse isn’t that big.

EDIT: Here’s a previous one. https://lemmy.ml/post/17286836

Also you should totally go there, it’s pretty cool IRL :)

Euclidean G-llamatry

TIL northern Ohio was once the Nation of Cat and destroyed by the Iroquois.

That one is weird to me, but maybe just because I’ve never heard it.

Instead of “Is the log” maybe you could say “Is nat-log”?

But I’ve only ever been able to do from the 12nd onward…

I think it’s more about intent and what you do with the findings and who gains from it. If you and your team announce your plans ahead of time, document everything meticulously, deliver the pieces to a museum or archive, publish papers and deliver seminars and attend conferences on it… it’s probably archaeology. The public then has at least some access to the value of your work.

If you and your associates do it all in secret, sell the artifacts to some rich asshole (esp. via a fence), and cover your tracks, that seems a lot more like grave robbing. You’ve stolen all the value in that case.

Just watched it. This is almost correct. The other thing carrying it is the soundtrack of course.

Damn, I really hope this isn’t true. I just started playing (even though my PC is below spec and I have to run it at potato quality) and I was having fun with the improvements over the original. I’ve followed the development and yeah initial launch was way premature but the 0.2 For Science! update looked to have turned things around.

But staff departure postings on LinkedIn are a very bad sign…

What are you suggesting? What is the alternative?

The fundamental mechanism is still unknown, however we do know some important details about consciousness:

• It’s not a simple binary all-or-nothing
• It can change naturally or artificially
• It’s divisible and perhaps even additive

We know this due to a number of phenomena:

• Natural variation in states like awake, alert, groggy, asleep, comatose
• Altered states due to alcohol or drugs (drunk, high, caffeinated, hallucinating, suppressed with anaesthesia)
• Disorders such as Body Identity Dismorphic Disorder (BIID - thinking a major limb doesn’t belong to your body) or Phantom Limb (sensing an limb that isn’t there). Look these up if you’re unfamiliar, they’re fascinating.

Together these and other observations suggest that consciousness is an emergent phenomena (not present in simple organ structures alone) and occurs along a scale, likely proportional to brain size. And just as your daily state can change (between sleep and wakefulness at minimum) it seems a reasonable hypothesis that other creatures experience something similar, though perhaps with a lower maximum awareness in their most alert state.

Happy birthday! I actually just started playing Journey for the first time yesterday, less than an hour I’d say (on Steam). The visuals and fluidity of controls are nice, nothing spectacular by today’s standards but I’m sure they were great back in the PS3 era. The beginning felt a little slow trudging through the sand until I understood how the scarf upgrades work. But then when I encountered another player it really started to click and go more smoothly. I like how the game encourages cooperation by pinging and refilling each other’s scarf energy, though I feel like progress might go slow again if I get stuck going solo next session. The puzzles are very simple but I was feeling sick so having a ‘cozy’ game was actually pretty nice.

Oof, yep, that’s all it was. I just fired up Elden Ring and it runs great under X11. Thanks a million!

I’d heard Wayland and Nvidia don’t play nicely together, but forgot KDE had officially made the switch. I’m sure I approved the install a while back but probably assumed it was all stable and compatible now. Guess that’s what I get for not reading the release notes!

Install Linux From Scratch (LFS). Then you can give it your own flavor instead of someone else’s.

This looks super helpful, thanks!

I’m a little nervous about swapping entirely over to nouveau for testing (well, moreso switching back) but I’m sure I can find a guide.

Update: No need, the problem was just Wayland vs X11.

I’m running Endeavour OS (KDE Plasma) and ran into a weird issue with my graphics. It’s like windows sometimes flicker and flight with each other, some fullscreen videos won’t play and just lock to a gray screen instead (e.g. in Steam, though YouTube is oddly fine), and most 3D games are super choppy and unplayable.

I’m not asking how to fix this, I just want to know how I start troubleshooting! I haven’t done anything special with my system, and I think the issue started after a normal pacman update. My GPU is a GeForce GTX 1060.

Any suggestions to get started? I don’t even know if the issue is Nvidia drivers, X, window manager, KDE, etc.

EDIT: The problem was Wayland. Fixed by logging in with X11 instead!
