I have a 30 series card and my experience is DLSS now is better than when it first came out. Original DLSS was pretty bad, it made things noticeably blurry. Current DLSS I’m fine with keeping on “Quality” or maybe even “Balanced” settings.

I’ve tried FSR but DLSS seems to be much better quality for similar performance.

I only have found one game that has FSR frame gen in it to try (Marvel Rivals specifically) but something went horribly wrong because it added a lot of latency and framerate instability. Tbh Marvel Rivals is probably not the kind of game you want to be using frame gen with anyway.

Nvidia is rent seeking and I don't want to pay them rent.

There seems to be this attitude like you are supposed to upgrade your GPU every year. I don’t intend to upgrade my GPU until it either breaks or really can’t keep up with modern games. Neither is happening any time soon.

I mean we both know I’m talking about specific acts of political violence, but you are right in that I should have clarified.

To be clear what makes it authoritarian is when it’s the state/government/leadership that is using acts of violence against citizens with political ideas that would threaten their power.

And tankies get the name specifically from either defending or denying that specifically the Soviet Union used violence to suppress attempts to leave their union. When I was on .ml I also frequently saw defense or denial of China using violence that way such as the infamous Tiananmen Square Massacre.

People from lemmy.ml love to shout that people who want them defederated are “capitalist” and hexbear has decided accusing people of being anti-trans is their move, but those are simply strawmen, and really poorly constructed ones at that.

Just because some people might not use the term correctly doesn’t mean it isn’t a useful term

I left lemmy.ml because there were too many people defending or denying historical acts of political violence. That’s what we mean when we say tankies are authoritarian.

Just don’t buy a new card unless you really need to.

I bought a 3080 because that gen seemed like a pretty solid bump in performance for the price. The new Nvidia gen is underwhelming so just wait.

Or if you really need one now buy a 30 or 40 series card.

There is a space in-between landlord-owned-apartment and individual-owned-condo called a co-op where the residents own the apartment building and pay a share of the operating costs and get a say in how the building is run.

There’s a variety of ways they can be run, but they are typically cheaper than normal renting in the long term, and can be competitive with renting in terms of the up-front cost.

Star Wars and Star Trek are really tangential fandoms except for the intersection in the name.

Signal is an open-source privacy-focused end-to-end encrypted texting platform (so competing with SMS, WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram, and similar). It’s developed by a donation-funded non-profit organization.

Signal is quite good compared to the competition, but it faces a lot of scrutiny because they make big promises about privacy and security so the people who care will really get into the details on that. Also IIRC there was a period when one of their competitors was trying to slander them more or less.

In general there’s nothing wrong with Signal and it’s quite a good option. If you really care about the privacy details you can always host your own instance (but that would require you to convince your friends to use your instance … it’s not federated).

For the string, I used dd to generate 13 MBs of noise from /dev/urandom and then I converted that to base64 so it would paste into error-hole.php

That string is going to end up being 17MB assuming it’s a utf8 encoded .php file
