OK, I guess you can leave lemmy now, because I’m sure you can judge entire website based on a single troll’s comment (and I guarantee you’ll find plenty on lemmy). Very smart!

The comment is already removed now, but OP’s post would make you believe the entire thread is full of racism and there’s no moderation.

Trying to incite outrage like OP is doing isn’t helpful for anyone.

And do you have any other examples (as you imply, the thread is full of them) than just one troll that has since been removed from the thread?

Did you comment in a wrong thread?

Because I could only find one vaguely racist comment.

Yep. When I switched out my Nvidia for AMD it was as plug-and-play as it gets.

Yeah, gotta have that and all that Secure Boot with TPM bullshit, because I’m visualizing a company workstation and nothing will work without those.

Because for some reason, no matter what I try, Windows 10 desktop is laggy as hell on Qemu, and smooth out of the box on VirtualBox.

Sure you can. wink wink 🏴‍☠️

I got the disc version for used games too, but the sad truth is that where I live there isn’t really a market for used games.

Or, well, there is, but the prices on used discs are often barely below retail price, if you can even find a copy.

It’s not like physical media makes any difference anyway these days.

Actual disk often gets just a glorified installer, and even if it includes the entire game you’re likely to have to activate it online anyway.

The “own your games” ship has sailed long ago, unless you only buy no-DRM and your own backups.

One of the reasons being Nvidia forcing unethical vendor lock in through their licensing.

Well, “not to be confused”, but the same page says AAVE is just a dialect of AAE, so mostly not much of a difference, I think.

For anyone that, like me, was confused what the hell is this language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_English

Seems to be proper name for the kind of language a stereotypical black character in a movie would use.
Can’t say about real world, since I don’t live in the USA.

Sideberry really is amazing. So good I could never switch to another browser if it meant abandoning it.

I don’t think so. Maybe they’ll have something new for the next Nintendo Switch?

In fact, the Shield is using the same chip as the Switch (same for the newer revisions).

It’s supposed to use S905X3 with ARM Cortex-A55.

There’s already plenty of devices on the market with this chip, and it’s fine, but in real world as a user you won’t really see any improvement over something like a nearly 10 year old Nvidia Shield that’s still using a more powerful chipset.

Which is sad for a new device…

They’re supposedly using pretty much the same chipset. So the most important part is still underpowered, these Android boxes generally work fine even with 2-3GBs of RAM.

I don’t have QSV or NVENC hardware to compare, but AMD is perfectly fine in most cases.
I mostly noticed quality drop with very busy scenes and some scene transitions.
Outside of those the quality was acceptable.

I’d say on my setup it’s comparable to software encoding with x264 veryfast preset.

And my GPU is 5 years old now, so I’m sure newer cards have improved.

Amd transcode isn’t very good and isn’t very compatible with Linux

It’s compatible just fine. But the quality… well, it’s not the worst, but definitely not the best quality.

users expect support when things don’t work

no shit, that’s why you refuse support for users with unsupported configurations.
This is not a new concept.
It’s standard for big companies to say they only support RHEL or Ubuntu, in every other case you’re on your own.

Instead of axing their entire Linux support they could just do the reasonable thing, which is ignore issues that are out of scope.

Or should they support users trying to run their software on Windows 95, just because it’s still technically Windows?
