Thanks for the two new artists to follow on Bsky OP. Been slowly switching over because I don’t use either this or Twitter much, but it’s kind of needed when you follow furry art and stuff.

Lemmy is not an anonymous community, it’s pseudonymous. It also doesn’t take a literary genius, merely someone with a healthy amount of empathy, to understand that treating someone with hatred for an immutable characteristic is bigoted and wrong. I don’t believe that to be an outrageous opinion.

Perhaps it is you that is mediocre and petty.

No, they’re included with, and updated by, the OS. But they are the proprietary ones that are available on Nvidia’s website.

I’m running Bazzite on KDE Wayland with the proprietary Nvidia drivers just fine. I think you’ve got another issue causing this.

MacOS actually does now support DX12: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-built-a-directx-12-translation-layer-for-apple-silicon.2391876/

Huh, thanks. That works from iOS to my Bazzite desktop flawlessly.

I would potentially give Ventoy a shot. Since it’s bootstrapping the iso after it’s already booted, you might have better luck. Even if you don’t want to install it that way for a secure system, it might help you with troubleshooting, because if it boots like that you can figure out what the difference is.

I don’t understand, are you saying this like black market weed wasn’t also capitalism? Like what is the baseline with weed for which it “never… [got] better” from?

If it was going to be any year, and yes I know this is said a lot, it would be this year. With Win10 support ending, a bunch of Millennials are going to install it on their Boomer parent’s computers. You have the German government installing it on every computer they run. Major companies like Lenovo releasing handhelds with it pre-installed.

What are you even talking about? 16GB is plenty for most people’s laptop use cases. What was criminal was when the default was 8GB, but they seem to have stopped that now. In saying that, the pre-built Framework 12 starts at 8GB, though that’s a lot less criminal when it’s not soldered on.

Why are you being so unpleasant? Just chill out mate.

Wait, why?

YouTube no longer allows any reference to gambling sites or applications “not certified by Google.”

It’s literally on the Play Store, rated at M.

So is HDMI? Smaller connectors aren’t always better, and it’s not like it’s SCART size or something.

I can’t guarantee this, but I think most motherboards would fail safe if the dGPU is removed and give you the UEFI over the iGPU. If you’re worried about it, you could always change the setting, then remove your GPU to test what happens when you try to pull up the UEFI.

In general, I’d suggest being a bit more curious and playing around with stuff, even if more carefully. Like you said you didn’t understand the options for OpenRGB and it sounds like you didn’t try installing it at all to eliminate it as an option before posting. I understand being anxious but you’re not going to learn much if you’re not willing to muck up sometimes. It’s not like an app like OpenRGB is going to break your GPU or anything.

We had rent control apartments for most of the 20th century and the market was just fine.

Considering how much of jerk you’re being, I’m going to reply to this with the same tone.

Do you have any evidence that the first post was made by the person who posted it?

I never said that person did make it, I infact don’t believe that they did.

Any evidence of anyone making it at all?

Jesus fucking christ, if all art is now guilty (AI) until proven otherwise, all that’s going to do is harm artists even more than they already have been.

There isn’t a watermark or signature anywhere in any panel.

Are you daft? It could have easily been cropped out, something that’s been happening on the internet since forever.

In fact the comic doesn’t even comform [sic] to any of the panel dimensions and sloppily overflow into the whitespace for no reason…

Were you literally born yesterday? Artists have been overflowing the bounds of comic panels since the comic strip was bloody invented. A character holding an object, and that object extending past the panel so it’s not cropped, is a pretty classic trope. So much so, that it doesn’t tell you if this is AI or not, because an AI would have learnt the trope from its training data.

…the ear lines of the black haired girl doesnt [sic] match in either panel for no reason, the painting doesn’t match for no reason…

So? Having some variations in art is pretty normal.

I could go on nit-picking this shit for you but it’s not my job to tell you what’s real or fake nor hold your hand through this transition period where you are no longer able to easily spot AI generated fake stuff. That’s on you to train yourself to look out for this kinda shit.

Could you maybe train yourself to be less of a dick? Cool, thanks.

I’m, not so sure about that? To me, that comic is critical of AI, not necessarily supportive of it. I feel like we’re not supposed to take the side of the bearded person, but the three others and their “Why the fuck should I care?” demeanour. Through that lens, I see the hand holding the painting as an intentional riff by the artist, hinting at why the technology might be dismissed by the majority.

I’m perfectly happy to be disproven, but I think one of the worst aspects of AI is the false accusations against legitimate artists. With the subject here being AI, I don’t want to be so quick to rule out that the “obvious sign of AI” isn’t itself satire.

It read to me like the OP didn’t trust their writing because of the kind of person they were and opinions they’d have, not necessarily that they had used an LLM to write their content.

I think you’re misunderstanding the post, did you actually read it?
