I think she interprets it as "the road ahead is still working" i.e. not broken

I finally committed to Linux at the end of last year. Enough is working to make it preferable to Windows now. I'm still having a lot of bugs, and it's costing quite some time. But at least my computer is mine again. No more telemetry, ads, and UIs that treat me like a toddler. No more updates forced onto me instead of being done whenever I want it.

I know that 8GB is too little. NVIDIA is really stingy when it comes to VRAM unfortunately. Beack when I made the decision this 3070Ti was the most expensive I could buy and I needed CUDA for some projects I was working on. Back then AMD's ROCm had bad support on consumer GPUs and also in libraries, so I didn't have a choice. I'm hearing better noises now though, so maybe my next card will be AMD.

Either way, I'd expect at most the game to crash. That would be acceptable, though annoying. Preferably it'd use the RAM as a sort of swap, which would grind everything to a halt but wouldn't outright kill the game or my desktop. I really shouldn't be losing all open windows

Ah that would explain the issues and the difference with Windows. I'm on NVIDIA yeah. Going over the VRAM limit and writing into RAM surely isn't ideal either, but it would beat crashing out entirely. It also seems that Unreal engine 5 games just consume all VRAM they can. Like they're almost claiming everything they can get away with, but somehow usually work fine. But once I alt+tab or switch workspace there is no VRAM left and Wayland commits sudoku (for good reasons).

Oh yeah I found something similar just now which might work? Using DXVK_CONFIG="dxgi.maxDeviceMemory = 6144:" %command% to try and limit the game to 6GB VRAM. It hasn't crashed since, but I'm unsure whether that's because of this. I could try the other parameter as well and see if that works, though reading the comments I'm unsure about that. Worth a try

EDIT: I also found a comment on the NVIDIA forums detailing this solution. Apparently you can configure this system-wide, which would limit the VRAM on all DXVK games

Misschien niet, maar dit maakt het wel makkelijker dan voorheen. Omdat je het nu niet meer makkelijk kunt krijgen zal een kleinere groep maar vuurwerk afsteken. En al het vuurwerk wat je ziet is verboden, dus elke knal die je hoort is illegaal. Hopelijk heeft tdit over de jaren na het verbod het effect dat het steeds minder wordt

I'm also autistic, and usually pretty bad at spotting jokes. But most April's fools jokes that I've come across were just lighhearted fun and pretty obviously fake. Just real enough sometimes to make you go "really?! oh nvm it's April 1st...". What kind of mean spirited jokes are people making?

I almost always thank the chatbot. I know it doesn't really have feelings or memory, but the way it talks always seems like it's so eager to help that I can't really help myself. I have a tendency to feel empathy for inanimate objects anyways, like a sad lonely apple in the supermarket, so feeling empathic to a chatbot isn't exactly out of the norm for me :3

That it's something that happens to all of us does not make it any easier to process. You still lose someone you love, sometimes very abruptly and while they could've easily lived years longer without an issue. You will never be able to speak to them, to see them in front of you, to hear their thoughts, to make new memories Witt them. Sometimes it also makes you lose a support network, a pivotal person that made your life better.

It may be normal, but he mental impact will in many cases be huge.

Programming socks provide a +2 programming skill buff. Their tight fit around the legs provides better blood flow through the legs which also means a better blood flow through the brain.

They also make you more cute :3

Damn I wasn't aware that eating kiwis (the fruit) wasn't vegetarian. I wish they thought us this in school...

I've got a master's degree and I've also been a teaching assistant and I strongly disagree with the notion that online teaching is more effective. Putting all materials online is useful, but explaining something to someone is way more effective when you're standing next to them.
