  • Ah so it’s about the same-ish functionality as supergfxctl and system76-power it seems. For me I’m searching for more granular control. e.g. if I’m gaming with dGPU-primary I might want to move browser and such to iGPU to free up dGPU VRAM, or just to put it to lower power states because spinning this behemoth up for youtube videos seems inefficient. Otherwise, when I’m in iGPU primary, it sometimes misdetects when to activate the dGPU and chokes the poor little thing down or, again, spins up the dGPU needlessly.






  • As a webdev I feel like the whole internet is dying. Everything is an app now, fully controlled by google, so privacy goes out the window, and none of it is searchable anyway as genAI made search engines toast. And everyone and their cat just seem go around blocking entire /8’s willy-nilly breaking the whole global network concept… Does anyone have any tips which career path to switch to?




  • Ratios are a things of a past. I’m having trouble getting ratios as all of the torrents I have are straight zeros in the upload section. I still keep them around for a while just out of habit, but just to verify it’s working I’ve downloaded some random file with high leech ratio. Got it in fast, but upload is now going at less than 5% the upload capacity. Back in late 00s running torrents would instantly saturate the entirety of my 10mbit connection, and I’d like to think that terabytes I’ve seeded during that time make up for my abysmal ratios nowadays. But the reality is that there just simply is enough seeders already, and as a result the trackers I frequent to either dropped it entirely or switched to a scoring system based on how much and for how long people store obscure torrents that only few people seed, but I’m too short on drive space to participate in that.





  • But the local shops are often treating employees in ways that starbucks couldn’t possibly get away with. Source: ex who worked 14 hr shifts without weekends at 4 different places for a couple months each and came out at net negative.

    There are some nice places though, where barista is the owner, and not just some stupid rich kid trying his hand at entrepreneurship.

    Even in the cities, almost everyone drives a Prius or at least something Toyota. Drop a streetview anywhere in UB and it’s Prius-land as far as the eye can see. Also tons of them in Caucasus countries. But, weirdly enough, exceedingly rare in Russia. I still wonder why that is.


  • I tried to give it a piece of ~200 lines of JS I was positive there was an error in, and it tried to gaslight me into thinking there wasn’t any… I tried everything, pointed it specifically to suspicious bits, asked for breakdowns, assertions, test cases… which it then promptly copy-pasted to me straight from my own code… Took me a few hours to find, but there was, in fact, a rookie mistake in it, just hard to spot at a glance.
