sue_me_please@awful.systemsto TechTakes@awful.systems•Whoops! Google, Copilot, Perplexity push scientific racism in search resultsEnglish3·1 year agoI wish I could agree, but we’re all AI fodder. AI companies will spend us and anyone who disagrees can get fucked because money. The ownership class is going to milk this for every damn cent until they get their returns, and if that means more murder-suicides in that pursuit, well then buckle up.

kvm
module and use something like QEMU to take advantage of it. I’d assume if you’re using QEMU then you’re using KVM by default.
sue_me_please@awful.systemsto Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 10 only has a year of support: 12 months left to keep Copilot off your desktop or learn LinuxEnglish1·1 year agoYeah, you either need a separate GPU or a iGPU/dGPU that supports SR-IOV. Some Intel iGPUs support it, and allow you to make virtual GPUs that can be pass-through`ed to VMs.

sue_me_please@awful.systemsto Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 10 only has a year of support: 12 months left to keep Copilot off your desktop or learn LinuxEnglish191·1 year agoDifferent OSes for different use cases. You have a job to do. Just use Windows.
If you want to use Linux, use it on your own machines on your own time.
That said, there are a few things you can do if you really want to use Linux:
- Test if the app works on Wine, Proton, etc. Even GPU accelerated apps can work, depending on the software/driver stack.
- Run a Windows VM and pass-through a GPU. That way you’ll get native performance on the app that’s GPU intensive. Use KVM and the CPU overhead will be negligible.
- If you’re doing 3D modeling/rendering, SFX, video editing or ML/AI, there are a lot of options on Linux. Some options that exist in Windows also have Linux versions.

sue_me_please@awful.systemsto Linux@lemmy.ml•Google is preparing to let you run Linux apps on Android, just like Chrome OSEnglish8·1 year agoLooks like Google is calling it Play Integrity these days: https://developer.android.com/privacy-and-security/safetynet/deprecation-timeline
But it’s this: https://developer.android.com/google/play/integrity
It’s an API that ensures you’re running apps on the hardware and Android ROMs Google approves of. It can also ensure that apps are not running on rooted phones.
Developers can integrate it into their apps. Banking apps do it, for example, and won’t run in Waydroid as a result. More and more apps integrate it over time.

sue_me_please@awful.systemsto World News@lemmy.world•UN says Israeli tanks burst through gates of peacekeeper baseEnglish47·1 year agoYeah, is the UN trying to escalate the conflict by being attacked, blown up and chemical weapon’d by Israel?
I bet that damn UN is going to get away with it too!

sue_me_please@awful.systemsto Linux@lemmy.ml•Google is preparing to let you run Linux apps on Android, just like Chrome OSEnglish2·1 year agoYou can use QEMU’s usermode emulation to transparently run ARM binaries with binfmt_misc on x86.
sue_me_please@awful.systemsto Linux@lemmy.ml•Google is preparing to let you run Linux apps on Android, just like Chrome OSEnglish3·1 year agoYou can test Linux out by using a live USB instance or in a VM. You can also dual boot so you’ll always have Windows available if you need it.
You can also install WSL on Windows or something like Git Bash or MSYS2 to get a Linux-y environment on Windows.

You could get away with a SSG for some use cases, but Wordpress with plugins can get pretty crazy and out of scope for simple SSGs.
