Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • Not really.

    If it’s the same brand (AMD>AMD or Nvidia>Nvidia) the same drivers you were already using should pick up the new GPU.

    If you’re switching, you can uninstall the nvidia driver if switching to amd, and you’ll have to install it, if switching to nvidia.

    On some distros you may have to install vulkan-radeon to get vulkan support on amd.



  • I think they should make it a daily deal, but not for a week. They should also eat the discount cost, which they apparently aren’t doing, and entirely waive their cut.

    What I think they should do instead of extending the deal, is reset the games launch.

    There is absolutdly no reason Valve couldn’t re-launch the game, along with all the algoritm benefits an unbugged 1.0 launch should have had.

    Also, you seem to have missed that the article says they are contractually obligated to complete their current WIP game. Valve giving them a bunch of money would not give them time to work on further updates for Planet Centauri before then.

    That’s not really my point.

    You can’t cancel out bad things with good things.

    That China averages out to stats that look OK, doesn’t make the stuff happening in HK or Xinjiang go away.

    If you cut up the population groups into multiple population sized chunks with the compared countries, they each will still have a better number.

    Not necessarily. If you average everything, that hides any outliers.

    The bigger the sample size for your stats, the less it tells you. You could have an entire country’s worth of people in China, living in conditions that lead to horrible stats, and have that essentially disappear in the stats of the whole country.

    You should break stats down into smaller chunks. But not just arbitrarily. Do it by province, city, district. That’s how you find the problem areas. The bigger the area you measure, the less the stats tell you about the individual citizens.

    Well yeah.

    You’re not going to see a significant suicide rate, if the people who might kill themselves, are killed by something else first. Mostly looking at NK.

    As for China, their population is so large that almost any bad stat looks small. Zoom in on someplace like Hong Kong, and the stats go right back to concerning.

    3. No.

    Cinnamon development is glacial. It works, but the project simply does not have the resources to properly keep up or even triage important fixes.

    It’s one of the reasons I didn’t stick with mint, and tend not recommend it if someone can use something else. When I stopped using it, the setting that was supposed to allow games in fullscreen to display without compositing was borked, costing you frames and latency. It had been that way for years.
