Any love for Kubernetes here? in c/[email protected]

A lot of people thought this was the case for VMs and docker as well, and now it seems to be the norm.

What are you boycotting right now and why? Are there any Boycotts you've ended? in c/[email protected]

Surprised I don't see this one, but slave trade chocolate (which unfortunately is most chocolate).

There are some lists out there, but we try to avoid all chocolate unless we are sure it isn't harvested with slave labour, even partially.

Is there a good reason why AMD APUs just aren't used with massive amounts of (V)RAM just like the Mac M2 is? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

As per the link (YouTube) in the other thread, it seems like iGPU + increased allocation of VRAM is better than using the CPU, though it also seems APUs max out at 16GB. Maybe something AMD can improve in the future then...

I run exllama on a 24GB GPU right now, just seeing what's feasible for larger models -- so an intel CPU with lots of RAM would in theory outperform an AMD iGPU with the same amount of ram allocated as VRAM? (I'm looking at APU/iGPUs solely because you can configure the amount of VRAM allocated to them.

The question is, though, would it be better than just a CPU with lots of RAM?

All the time, it doesn't happen when you sort comments by Old or New, though.

FOSS keyboard under active development? (Android) in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was really confused at first (new to this community), but they seem to be asking about a FOSS mobile keyboard for Android.

Looks like it is a bug: https://github.com/laurencedawson/sync-for-lemmy/issues/60, but there doesn't seem to be a solution.

There is no amount of money you could pay me to get used to Windows Updates.

Microsoft shuts down Cortana app on Windows 11 in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I don't know why but out of all of the alternatives I found Alexa by far the easiest to say (sorry to all the people named Alexa out there). Okay google, hey Siri, Bixby, Cortana are just hard to pronounce.

Don't use Proton Experimental for Baldur's Gate 3 (anymore) in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe try turning steam input on or off? That's the first toggle I'd reach for with controller issues (like when Elden Ring came out).

[Fixed] Anyone having controller / multiplayer split-screen issues on Steam Deck? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Oh, forgot to mention so am I (steam deck). Which gave me a clue to check ProtonDB -- it works a lot better when I turned off using Proton Experimental to let it use the default Proton version.
