Did you ever have an intelligent and liked youtuber start doing bottom of the barrell Raycon ads out of the blue? - Lemmy.World

Imagine this: You have a hobby or just some deeper interest in a certain matter. There is bottom of the barrell stuff that NEVER even gets mentioned because it is so terrible even casual “non-ad affected” people never really look in its way. Then one day your favourite, intelligent, politically/societally/economically very well versed youtuber starts promoting this literal dogshit. I have had multiple occasions where pretty okay channels get on the circlejerk of sucking up all the usual ads playing on youtube and routinely go full out on these borderline scamming ads with terrible services and products. I mean I dont feel I got damage out of this, but it removes any kind of doubt they are really up there.

Are there any interpolation and upscaling solutions on linux I can use with RTX 4090 for not only games but video? - Lemmy.World

I guess I want to see whether there are some advanced solutions so I can play movies and anime in 120fps 4K. Is gamescope pretty much the only solution in case of games?

Stamets posting almost exactly 17 posts at once every single day. - Lemmy.World

I dont necessarily have issues with the content he is doing, but I feel a bit weirded out by the volume he is doing. 17 posts at the exact same time on several subs.

Holy fucking shit. - Lemmy.World

Kind of funny for me, but you guys might appreciate.

I didnt buy an OLED screen so that the most spectacular looking movies wont use 1/3 of it... - Lemmy.World

Since I had my brand new 65" OLED, a HUGE pain point has been the 2 giant black bars for almost EVERY movie that is worth watching on such a screen in the first place. Even though it is still kind of huge, it feels that Im watching ants. It simply does not feel “big” when Im closer to elongated 1080p than actual 4K. Watching TV shows, stuff that is actually 16:9, is literally more fulfilling than watching Dune…

Building a cheapino. Since I had to order pcbs, I will build 5. How much would you put it up to sale for? - Lemmy.World

I am new to ergonomic and programmable keyboards, but something felt fun about making it as cheap as possible by doing 5 at once, and cheapinos at that. I spent quite a few hours on slimming down the cost and ended up spending roughly 35-40 bucks per board, switches and keycaps included. For this I have: - Magnetic USB-C cable - 360 rotatable RJ45 cable - Hotswap Cheapino V2 board that hopefully works - Spare PCB that can serve as bottom. - Of course it has rotary encoder as well. - ABT Green/Red Aliexpress sourced keycaps. - Either Gateron G Pro v3.0 Silver or Tecsee Purple Panda switches (very good budget switches based on reading) For this, how much would you realistically ask for? Either max profit or your preferred cost.

Ignatius Timothy Trebitsch-Lincoln, hungarian multiagent spy, as the next reincarnation of the Dalai Lama - Lemmy.World

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Trebitsch-Lincoln [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Trebitsch-Lincoln] What a story this guy has. Being a spy for multiple parties, finishing up as the claimant of being the Dalai Lamas reincarnation then dying under suspicious circumstances after writing Hitler to stop the holocaust. The wiki page speaks for itself.

Inexcusable Fedora caveats after Arch (rant) - Lemmy.World

I am trying out Fedora for multiple unrelated reasons (use RHEL at work, new config, it might be more optimized) and I noticed a number of concerning caveats, even in mind with the fact that I already use RHEL: 1. Software support seems lacking. I have a growing number of software neither the repo, nor rpmfusion has. In any other case I would need to use copr for installing community maintained packages. However copr feels relatively abandoned and unreliable. That mainly comes down to packages being undiscriminately displayed without download stats or upvote status (unless you look them up one by one). Also a large part of packages are incompatible because they were made specifically for Fedora 38 with no 39 fixup in sight. Rpmfusion is weirdly empty, I expected it to have majority of the stuff I need so I dont inevitably have to rely on copr. I already had to download executables from upstream. 2. Install Groups. They are not getting listed properly! It only lists the most basic meta groups. This is combined with the lack of actually being able to search for groups and you got yourself a lot of random groups you wont find unless you start looking it up online. 3. Xorg wiki page. [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Xorg] Ex fucking cuse me?! Did I mistype something, because I clearly remember trying to use one of the most popular and allegedly well put together distros. At this point why even have a wiki page? 4. base-x group contains everything needed for running Xorg. I will actually eat my hat if you can tell me I can find that info without stackoverflow. Cant search for the group, nothing is documented about it. I would agree with the sentiment that I could technically write the documentation and package all the things I need in copr, but Im having serious doubts if this “platform” developed by the same guys who dont document it is actually worth the hassle. I guess the positive thing to say about it is that it performed better for gaming than my Arch install, and I had done zero optimisations on it yet.

100% PCB as cheap as possible? - Lemmy.World

I am going to build probably a few keyboards (like 3) for people to gift to. Since 100% PCB is not as popular as ergo boards, Im having a hard time finding any. Do you have any 100% PCB (aliexpress or gerbers for printing in a PCB service like jlcpcb) that you prefer? My goal is to make it as cheap as possible.
