It's kind of hilarious to see Denuvo pretending to care about how heccin' dangerous low-level access is, but only when other people do it, when they force you to give them low-level access to your computer to play a game it's completely okay.

Denuvo DRM doesn't have root access... yet. Are you confusing it with their anti cheat?

I made over 145+ GEGL/GIMP plugins without AI, long before AI showed up with my own brain using my own logic and problem solving ability. I am one of the few talented creative programmers in the FOSS community, my only big mistake was being a huge bigot back in 2024-2025 which I got my ass kicked for.

These GIMP plugins and 140 more I made without any help from AI. and AI doesn't even know how to arrange GEGL nodes close to the levels of sophistication that I do. All Grok and ChatGPT can do is patterns, shapes and gradients using mathmatical logic inside GEGL, all their plugins follow that format, where as mine follow meta operation node chaining logic.

attached is a pic of some of my best recent plugins

Let me post a picture of the plugins Grok made, His plugins (which are separate from my main download) are 100% limited to shapes, gradients and patterns, because he sucks ass at chaining nodes and I was the one teaching him how to chain nodes in one session.

One reason why is he doesn't have access to GEGL directly. He can't visually view a graph like me. He just knows the raw math of shapes and patterns.

Attached pic are the plugins Grok made, notice how they are all shapes and patterns.

What this post calls Smokescreen I call reality, I am in the unrecognized 4th category with nuance. Just because the author doesn't recognize 4 doesn't mean 4 doesn't exist. It is only the authors stubbornness.


So let me make my ultimate mindset clear. I am very upset that closed source online only AI dominate as a monopoly and I am no fan of AI (image/video) slop and acknowledge that waste tons of water in data centers. I only use AI in text workflows. I also realize Grok has bad behaviors and right wing biases, but still based on the evidence I have seen I believe Grok and the other AIs are really good at fact checking and solving problems, including debunking far right crap, which surprisingly Grok is amazing at. Lastly, I believe open source offline usable models like Qwen, GLM and Dolphin Mistral will be just as good in the near future, and these privacy respecting AIs eventually will integrate into the FOSS community and soon be as good as Grok and ChatGPT

I've been fucking around with OpenSUSE in VMs and like it a lot, but I've always heard it's kinda shit for nvidia cards, is that still true?

>>108506169
OpenSUSE is very good. You can work around the Nvidia issues if you learn some basics, mainly just learning how to pair kernel version with driver version.
That said on bare metal, you may want to choose something reliable that has an Nvidia ootb option. Even Arch has that now if you use Archinstall.

>>108504060
Most laptops are using proprietary ACPI protocols. You would need to patch the kernel, but since Debian's kernel is very old in comparison to other distributions, this option is out off the table, since I don't want to patch and compile kernel from scratch myself

Getting a modern kernel is as easy as swapping for Liquorix (or Xen depending on the distro, but I've found Liquorix more reliable).
And updated firmware is as easy as
`cd /tmp
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
cd linux-firmware/
sudo cp -va * /lib/firmware/`
and then
`sudo update-initramfs -u`

I also use CoreCtrl to manage my 9070XT, so with it I've also replaced my Mesa drivers with an almost up to date version with Ernstp's Mesa Almost-Stable repo;

I guess what I'm really asking is if there's any out there that does volume compensation like some phones do.

>>108505320
Look for anything with dynamic eq or dsp. I can't really recommend anything in particular, I'm still using some old advent speakers lol I just mess with the loudness knob in my amp until it sounds right and maybe enable a drc plugin at night to avoid noise complaints

>>108500648
Man what the fuck lmao. I ordered the D3V two days ago
What are speakers in this price range and similar form factor/size that don't have this issue? man FUCK

Ok retarded question I have a DAC with line and pre out. The DAC itself has volume controls and equaliser. Should I use line or pre out for active speakers and sub? From my understanding if I use pre out the volume controls would shift to the speakers?

I have a tablet that I got for uni and almost never used for uni. then I got into project sekai for a bit which was fun, now I only use my tablet for reading manga, and even then not that often. but sometimes I'll draw on it. I have a tab s9

>>108506623
I see thanks. Why aren't you using it more often? Convenience, bad software, something else?

Which online accessible ai that's free and doesn't require any accounts is best to use for unfiltered questions and uncensored answers? Preferably with elaborate answers and high limits on number of questions you can ask

>>108506692
I just don't vibe with it desu. I do my uni work on my desktop instead, and essentially there's no reason to use it. if I need a device at uni I'll just take my laptop (MacBook air)
the software is great and if I read more manga maybe it would be worthwhile. I read on my ereader

>>108506813

If they act like javascript, dress like javascript, and it looks like javascript. It is javascript. It doesn't matter how it works under the hood.

>>108506485
I only know these from mind:

.myclass{
margin: 0 auto;
display: fixed;

};

This is basic doomscrolling setting. Am I wrong?

>>108506489
its not even that bad nor is javascript. i cannot think of a better way to do css. what language would u replace javascript with? i only think that lua would be a better replacement. inb4 static typed language, typescript is probably the worst language of all time. no static typing performance gain and less dynamic than javascript.

Just tell me what the fuck to buy to replace my M1 Macbook Air 2020.
Damnit I kinda don't want to do this. The battery life is incredible. But Macos suck so much fucking cock it's unbelievable. I also just need to plug my lap to my office's monitor and go back to linux (I already use Asahi on my mac).
Something modern but Thinkpad and not expensive please

>T430
>X230

Lost all of them for reasons

all my laptops have been hand-me-downs but I have to buy one for the first time ever

I runlinux, I need it for browsing the internet, usually 20 or so tabs open, watching videos from streaming sites. I don't care about battery life, I don't care about weight or it being clunky - in fact, the sturdier it is, the better. I'd like to prioritize security but I don't want to go through the whole pain of opening the thing up to flash the bios. I just bought a 5090 and 128gb ddr5 ram so I'd like the laptop to be on the cheaper side.

I'm in Australia so my options are limited. T14, T14s gen 1 & 2 are plentiful, there's a bunch of other stuff on ebay but I don't know what to look for exactly.

Anyone had the issue of the mic-mute button being constantly lit on their T480? I think it started happening after one of the recent kernel updates but I am not sure. I can still turn the LED on and off with the appropriate console commands and it still mutes and unmutes the mic but the LED doesn't toggle when I use the button. I use i3 if that is important.

Just install it and enable it with Systemd. It just works. Dnscrypt Proxy is great.

>>108506640

>>108506666
Dnscrypt Proxy does everything:

You name it.

Another more lightweight option is Adguard's dnsproxy which is very good:

>>108502588
Well you did the exact thing you werent supposed to do!

>>108506680
>>108501369
In fact to answer your question exactly, with dnsproxy you can do something like this to start a shell that uses DoH:

>In one terminal

sudo ./dnsproxy -u https://dns.quad9.net/dns-query --http3 -l 127.53.53.53 -v
