  • By allowing our politicians a seat at the table you’re opening yourself up to more harm.

    Isolate us, make the voting public feel the consequences of their actions. Respond to tariffs with tariffs on red states. Sanction administration official of the inevitable human rights abuses that are coming. Call out the lies of our Government openly and with evidence.

    This isn’t going to change if there are never any consequences for the people who’re doing this as well as their supporters. Revoke the visas of our oligarchs, limit their travel, stop doing business with their companies. Create incentives for educated Americans to immigrate to healthier democracies and ban our social media companies before they finish poisoning your country as well.


  • Dude, the number of times I’ve resorted to a reinstall are innumerable. You know a bit more than you did yesterday and that isn’t nothing.

    If you want to try a new project that’ll need tinkering with (but won’t break your existing install) look at gamescope.

    Currently it’s the only way to get HDR and variable refresh rate to work. It’s what Valve made to get those features into the Steamdeck.

    You just run it with

    gamescope -- %command%
    

    In your steam launch options. You’ll need to look up the options (otherwise it defaults to 720p@60hz). Ex:

    gamescope -w 2160 -- %command%
    

    For 4k. There’s a switch for HDR too but I don’t remember it without looking it up. You can use gamescope to enable FSR in any game, it can apply reshade shaders (so, things like anti aliasing in games that don’t have it natively).

    Other than that, any issues you have with a particular game can usually be solved by looking at protondb.com

    Keep using the GE-Proton builds of proton for best results.

    Have fun 🤓


  • Yeah, you have Vulkan and Mesa and the GPU drivers are in the kernel. That’s the whole stack (along with Proton).

    Before reinstalling completely, run a full system upgrade, I took this from system76s support page:

    sudo apt update
    # configure any packages partially setup 
    sudo dpkg --configure -a 
    # fix any missing package dependency 
    sudo apt install -f 
    # upgrade all packages and dependencies to newest in release 
    sudo apt full-upgrade 
    # make sure the `pop-desktop` meta package is installed 
    sudo apt install pop-desktop
    

    You’re also likely using some flatpak applications, so:

    flatpak update
    

    Then reboot.

    They want you to reinstall because walking you through a fresh install is just more time efficient for their support staff than trying to troubleshoot system configuration problems (imagine the possible things a random user could change x.x).


  • I just noticed my reply from my phone didn’t go through x.x

    This seems a lot like you’re missing some 32bit libraries. There isn’t a /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.i386.json listed in the vulkan logs.

    I have no idea how they’d be named in PopOS, but I’d look into vulkan first. You may have the vulkan-radeon 64bit drivers , but not the 32bit. Wine needs the 32bit libraries for the time being.

    Check

    dpkg -l | grep vulkan
    

    (or post all of dkpg -l if it isn’t too long)

    to see if you have the i386 version of the vulkan radeon drivers (for reference, in arch this is lib32-vulkan-radeon, possibly the same in PopOS)

    If not install them (apt search vulkan and look for something with vulkan, radeon and i386 in the file name)










  • The walls get hot, you absorb the heat from the walls with a fluid. You use the fluid to heat water, you use the steam to drive a turbine, you use the turbine to turn a permanent magnet inside of a coil of wire. In addition, you can capture neutrons using a liquid metal (lithium) which heats the lithium, which heats the walls, which heats the water, which makes steam, which drives a turbine, which generates electricity.

    If you poured water onto them they wouldn’t explode. 100 million degrees Celsius doesn’t mean much when the mass is so low compared to the mass of the water.
