For over one year I've been harassed, threatened, doxxed, misgendered and abused by Luna the Foxgirl, author of Inochi2D.

Due to her attacks and manipulation of others, I no longer feel safe contributing to Linux GPU drivers, and I will be retiring my current model.

Hardware question:

Does anyone know if it’s possible to take the 2 separate pcie 1x ports on my motherboard and connect an egpu to them?

Fal has also launched Google’s Veo 2, which currently only supports text-to-video. The generation price is quite expensive, but during the promotional period, it’s half price, costing $1.25 for every 5 seconds of video generated. For every additional second, you will be charged $0.25.

The USPS this week released two new stamps celebrating NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope.

The two stamps feature spiral galaxy NGC 628 and Star Cluster IC 348 resp.

The stamps were designed by Greg Breeding, an art director for the USPS.

The stamps are used for Priority Mail and Priority Mail Express resp. and hence are pricey at $10.10 and $31.40 each. Sheets of 4 stamps each can be purchased at https://store.usps.com/store/stamps/priority/_/N-1p6urmn

@stroughtonsmith the Disney plus app is pretty good

Tons of 3D content and has immersive environments for Star Wars and Marvel

Looks like the executive order terminating DEI roles is actually DEIA with the A being accessibility. They’re firing all government employees working on accessibility 😮

@65dBnoise it wasn’t the democrats thats focused on identity politics and culture wars though

It was the republicans successfully painting them as such, while they passed healthcare and infrastructure and signed historic treaties and trade deals. Obama literally created a pandemic plan that trump scrapped

For whatever reason Dems merely saying “actually republicans, we shouldn’t be racist or homophobic” while doing actual governance means they focused on identity politics?

This is exactly what's wrong with dinosaur Dems:

They don't mentor the next generation.
They refuse to step aside.
They pull up ladders while clinging to power.

The future of our party is progressive leaders like AOC – whether the old guard likes it or not.

The choice is adapt or fade away.

Every $100 increase in an area’s median rent is associated with a 9% increase in the rate of homelessness, according to a report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office and MorePerfectUnion.

For people who hate the humanoid robots, here’s a non humanoid

Seems like it couldn’t go up stairs though

Here's the drive data extracted from JPL's "Waypoints JSON".

JPL update its JSON URL shortly after each drive.

The elevation change during the Sol 1349 drive is a new record of 41.3 meters (135.5 feet) :)

@ActionRetro apple needs to resurrect this design

I didn’t think Drake could take a bigger L from this beef but he found a way

Mastodon is benefitting from the #X exodus (eXodus?) too: The official app downloads are up 47% on iOS and 17% on Android. Sign-ups are up approx. 27% compared to previous month with about 90K new accounts, while the MAU has jumped to 894K (across all Mastodon servers).

AMD is laying off about 1,000 (4% of workforce) in order to save about $200M and pivot to better compete against Nvidia as most of its growth is coming from AI chips.

Despite being the second largest producer of GPUs, AMD stock price is flat in 2024 while Nvidia shares are up 200%.

Nvidia is effectively lapping the industry at this point.
