Well, it certainly runs better than that on a 6650XT. I'm mainly referring to the highly variable FPS and hitching seen even on a 4090/5090. In the tutorial I had 60fps on High with FSR enabled. But in the open world it was up and down from 30 to 60 and dropping to 5 every few minutes. Apparently someone's made a mod to fix that and it's a fairly common thing with UE5 games. I refunded before I learned about that mod but I'm honestly just gonna play the original instead.

As for your 1060... Well, it is way underpowered. That's what I upgraded from. It's largely outdated for modern titles in general.

6650XT gang. Been a good card for me so far. The only game I've had crawling to a halt so far is the Oblivion remaster (refunded after realizing it ran like dogshit, not just on my system, but on any system). Was the best option at the time (late 2024) for my money and I needed an upgrade badly. I might upgrade to the 9060 XT for raytracing though since it's dogass on the 6650XT. That is my only regret so far.

gnot happening.

And then we'll find that all the stress that we've gone through due to poor planning and policy has taken 10 years off our lives and we'll all have heart attacks at 70 before we even get to retire. Those that survive will be kept on life support to continue being worker drones for the billionaires. Changing the age of retirement isn't the solution. And if they do decide to do that, then it makes it all the more important that they enact policy to make life easier right now.

I'm well aware of the community I'm in. My support for reorganizing our society doesn't change the facts of our current reality. And maybe I'm a cynic or a pessimist, but I don't see developed nations shifting to degrowth until all us peons have been milked for ever last drop of energy we can muster. Even though we need to shift to a model that isn't dependent on infinite growth, there is little likelihood that will happen in the remainder of my lifetime.

As much as I like SteamOS, it really bothers me that it deletes Waydroid when it updates. Idk why it does that but it's irritating. Does Bazzite have the same issue?

Well, yes. Families have been getting smaller. This means there's a smaller pool of people to support the fund and ensure that the money in the fund grows. If the money in the fund does not grow then the people currently in retirement lose value on their contributions, or in other words, get less out of the fund than what they put in. So young people have to pay more into the fund because there aren't enough of us to support all the boomers at previous rates. Millennials, GenZ, GenA, all fucked.

And I want to be clear: I'm not saying that the CPP is worse than the alternative. Having a ton of seniors homeless due to being unable to work would cost everyone a lot more than the CPP does. All I'm saying is that it's unfair that my contributions will not fund my retirement because they're currently funding someone else's. Especially when I could really use that money right now to, yknow, afford food with actual nutritional value.

And all the more: this is a time bomb waiting to blow. The CPP is only projected to be sustainable for the next 75 years. When GenA is retired, they won't be able to rely on it. It's a robbing Pete to pay Paul sort of situation.

Can't even say "eat the rich" anymore because most of them are old and stringy.

I mean, it might not be a threat to humanity but it's certainly a threat to my ability to retire. Right now the money I put into CPP is funding the boomers' current retirement and their children's retirement. Who's gonna fund mine? But it's not like my generation could have kids anyway. The same boomers fucked the world so badly that we're only barely able to scrape by. I'm in my 20s, I shouldn't even have to worry about this bullshit.

Hey there. I learned about Immich from Louis Rossmann's channel. Promptly forgot about it. It popped up in my feed just now. This is just one way that Immich could come to the attention of anyone spontaneously. If I was interested in using Immich, I would probably also ask about paid services for hosting because my current circumstances prohibit self-hosting. But I'm not interested in using Immich, nor do I have the money to pay for such a service anyway.

Not everything is some sort of conspiracy.

EDIT: Also, if you think the guy's a bot, why bother replying? Furthermore, why bother replying as though they were human? "Who sent you" psssh smh goofy ah guy

Because laptop manufacturers don't make laptops for people who want to install their own OSes. The average tech illiterate just wants something that works out of the box.
