I recently rebuilt my #Linux #gaming rig to be full #AMD and for the most part I am absolutely loving it. Not having to worry about an update just breaking my graphics is so so nice, and the gaming support for it is also really nice (specifically shader-cache time on steam went way down).

But man is
#Blender support frustratingly bad... Using the HIP renderer for cycles works for the most part, but will almost always crash blender at some point. That plus numerous issues with #greasepencil lagging and crashing when working with strokes, or antialiasing being severely broken.

It's so bad that for my last render I did, I needed to render the animation on my laptop that uses Intel Integrated Graphics
😭 It makes me miss my CUDA cores lol.
I picked #Blender back up again this week. I made this grave site using #greasepencil

Im super happy with how it turned out!

In case it isn't glaringly obvious, the next frontier in protecting our data is denying services that want to use us to train ML models. And no adblocker is going to do the job. Someone's gonna have to read every ToS, Privacy Statement, and EULA to find out who's doing what.
@governa Mac out here getting the Linux treatment, ya hate to see it.
@malwaretech Sorry man, hope things get better!

Not sure if it's a US specific thing, but the empathy towards reformed criminals here is pretty much non-existent. People who served their sentence here are generally in for a life of harsh discrimination.

It's strange to me that the cybersec industry is treating you the same, considering how many prolific figures exist in the space that have broken the law, served their time, and started using their skills for something better. Samy Kamkar being the prime example coming to mind.

@malwaretech 🤢 the fact that its mesh building wide might actually make me sick.

One other thing is that developers are rightly mad at Unity.

However, all gamers should also be *extremely* mad at Unity because the only way they can enforce their proposed license is carefully tracking user behavior in a deeply invasive way.

@smartgo I see lol. I downloaded a sample and even the Calibre reader isn't a fan of the interactive diagrams. I can't justify an iPad just for Go, unfortunately, but I still love the effort!
@smartgo I actually have an e-reader, and was wondering how well Go books would work on it. I'll have to give one a shot soon, lol
