it’s fine 😅

i can understand not wanting google hardware, particularly if SoC performance is important to you; the tensor series has always been underwhelming relative to its contemporaries. I think the Motorola partnership device will a Qualcomm SoC. hopefully this translates to having better perf and power efficiency, and it helps to have the backlog of knowledge from CAF / linaro.

to one of your earlier points, it would be nice if we had actual options from more trustworthy companies like NXP.

your username is formatted in the exact same way! i always remember my vanguardians 🥰

lil loaf and purrito 🥰

aww I was hoping to see cats 😔

for whatever it’s worth, you can regularly buy pixels at a loss around the holiday season. I’m not fond of buying google hardware but there’s something beautiful about having them sell to you at a loss without being able to recoup via ads / telemetry.

and I feel as if there’s some credence to projects like graphene when law enforcement get frustrated about its security and associate pixels with drug dealers on sight (like in Barcelona). i’ll watch that talk though!

that said, I’m also exploring true Linux phones that can be used with postmarketOS. not expecting miracles or anything.

cool but like, that doesn’t answer the question. do you use a phone? If so, which one?

wait are you my vanguard icefox? with the two little cats?

I think they make their hardware choices pretty well known. The documentation on the site is pretty thorough. They’re also very gradually broadening up to more vendors.

I’m not sure what you mean by the honeypot thing

how’s that

well that’s enough internet for today

there’s a level of irony to omitting the artist’s wordmark on an “i made this” meme comic lol

appreciate your input 🥰

It’s just a really odd comic series in general.

I’m wondering if much of the humour is lost in translation (I think it’s Spanish?) or something because they’re genuinely just not all that funny.

appreciate you 😊

appreciate the info, will pass this on

Harry (from the github thread) hasn’t been able to repro on Ubuntu so far

I’m curious if you’ve been using --usecase=graphics on install?

More info here: https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/radeon-ryzen/en/latest/docs/install/installrad/native_linux/install-radeon.html#install-amd-unified-kernel-mode-gpu-driver-rocm-and-graphics

you know what, I totally spaced on that. this is very likely the case for save the world as well, I’m not aware if anyone who’s played that on Linux.

I’m not getting the impression you genuinely want to hop back in, but in case you didn’t know about it, the Heroic games launcher is FOSS, cross platform, and can serve GoG, EGS and Amazon games.

I never use it for EGS because I don’t have an epic account, but it’s been wonderful for my GoG library on Fedora.

E: totally spaced on this, fortnite isn’t playable on PC outside of windows.

Supposedly the pro can. I’d imagine it’s quite a bit harder to run than infinitime

appears to be similar to innertune / metrolist. I use the latter and adore it.

Thank you for checking in with this. Strangely it seems to work fine for other people using different distros. Will follow up internally.

huh, weird. I’ll check in with that and see what’s going on.
