I am no expert on how precomputed shaders work but are they not specific to the GPU model you are running on? If so wouldn't that cause more pain than gain unless you are running an rdna 2 GPU?

You've seen package managers
You've seen piping curl into bash
But have you ever seen sourcing a script from curl every time you launch the shell
in reply to Brodie Robertson

I do enjoy making spawning a new shell dependant on network connectivity.

Gives it that real living on the cloud feeling.

It looks like you enjoyed it! But you could not pay me to get in a helicopter 😅

a shame there is no direct public transport link form the airport to the city (afaik).

Just saw this—my #GovernableSpaces interview with the great theorist and journalist of technology Mike Masnick is up and out on the Techdirt Podcast: techdirt.com/2024/04/09/techdi…

I hugely admire Mike's grounded thinking on protocols and decentralization. This was a really fun conversation.



I guess I can just give up now, my channel is complete

@Christoph S @Cass M 👋🏽 Yes the sprinkler Malte has already met. Both with strong curiosity and some caution - since they were the large ones that work the Sanssouci Park lawns, working with a lot of pressure. ^^
in reply to Muse

One of our dogs was afraid of the hose, in all forms. Then he grew up. We would find him under the sprinkler spray, soaking it up.
Still didn't like being hosed off, but it was a change that brought a smile. And got the towels out.

Post from @rabble on why he's chosen to use #Nostr and not #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse. He makes some compelling points. Personally I am not too worried about the server admin parts of his argument (I have enough control, even if I don't control the server), but I agree that this isn't ideal:

"You can’t use a single fediverse identity with your profile and followers in Peertube, Mobilizon, WriteFreely, and Pixelfed. You need a totally separate account in each one."

in reply to Richard MacManus

Pixelfed and Mastodon are not isolated from each other. I have Pixelfed users in my home feed on Mastodon. That's a very weird definition of isolated. Mastodon has search too. Phanpy has a catch-up algorithm. I don't find the arguments in the post compelling.

'In the 1920s, an American professor named Ivan Wallin (1883–1969) published a string of articles and a book about mitochondria. Wallin’s day job was teaching anatomy to medical students at the University of Colorado, but he was also fascinated by cell biology. Over the course of a decade, Wallin forged the concept of “symbionticism,” whereby speciation in animals and plants is triggered by the acquisition of bacterial symbionts. Wallin believed that mitochondria were such symbionts and had evidence to prove it—his publications included camera lucida drawings of “mitochondria” growing happily on agar plates!'

I've been too burnt out doing the comic, needed to draw something else to stretch the brain.

So I started to do portraits of characters. This is the vox of the city, her mentor is the lingering whisper of a city that isn't in this world anymore.

A very good parody of Jeffrey Yass and the other tax-evading anti-democracy billionaires funding a fascist movement to end American democracy.

Good morning to Vance! As long as he doesn't call a *faculty* meeting...?! Retired early from William & Mary to write; pleased to be following you from across the state.
