But conservatives are terrified of their neighbors, for some reason. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Can't blame them. Most conservatives in the USA are unstable, gun wielding nuts.

Aborted start infringements (discuss.tchncs.de)

So I have been listening to the radio surrounding the aborted start. McLaren fucked up with both cars and asked them to pull away. Same with Mercedes, VCARB and Haas. Alpine gave the correct instructions to wait and switch off and followed the rules to the T but then were forced to go because the others in front went. Same as Alpine for all the remaining teams (Red Bull, Ferrari, Aston, Williams and Sauber).

Frankly the McLarens, Mercs, VCARBs and Haases should be penalized.

So I saw that the rpm-ostreed-automatic.service was failing so I manually tried to upgrade but when i run rpm-ostree upgrade, I am getting an error Creating importer: Failed to invoke skopeo proxy method OpenImage: remote error: A signature was required, but no signature exists. Is this some error at my side or is this some key related issue at uBlue's side?

Man piastri has got ice flowing through his veins. Calm throughout the race under immense pressure and even after winning such a great race. Unbelievable temperament.

Completely deserved. His standards this year have been appalling.

I recently made a post about my FreeSync certified monitor not supporting VRR over HDMI. I thought that there was VRR support over HDMI even for versions below 2.1 spec. Am I mistaken in my assumption¿? Has the HDMI forum prevented the implementation of FreeSync in the open source drivers¿?

Obligatory fuck the HDMI forum and the HDMI spec.

I have a AMD CPU + AMD dGPU laptop and recently bought a LG FreeSync monitor. I hooked up the monitor to my laptop and got it working mostly fine but I dont get any option to set VRR on my LG monitor.

I am on Gnome and have enabled VRR through gsettings. My laptop display shows the option to toggle VRR (and is currently being used with VRR on) but my LG display does not. The Archwiki says that the option to toggle VRR should show up on every supported display. I have verified from the user manual that FreeSync is supported over both HDMI and DP and from the monitors menu, I have verified that FreeSync is enabled. Is this a bug or I am missing something.

Hardware and Software

  • Ryzen 5 5600H with Vega integrated graphics
  • Radeon RX 5500M
  • Internal Display of 1080p, 144Hz (I have no idea which panel it is)
  • LG 24GS60F-B monitor connected over HDMI 2.0
  • uBlue main 40 (Fedora Silverblue 40)
  • GNOME 46.4
  • Kernel version 6.10.3
  • Mesa 24.1.5

Thanks in advance for the help.

I don't get why the article mentions this as some smart savvy business move. They are putting artificial limiters in place to squeeze money out of people. That is so anti-consumer.

So there are these two monitors - Samsung Odyssey G3 LS24AG32 and LS24AG30. Both of them are practically the same but the LS24AG32 is 165Hz and the LS24AG30 is 144Hz. Since they are both VA panels, I was worried about severe ghosting. All the reviews I find are for LS24AG30 which has what I find is an acceptable level of ghosting but I the only model available on my region is LS24AG32 so I am wondering if it uses the same panel which would mean a similar level of ghosting. The issue is that the old model of the Odyssey G3 had terrible ghosting so I am worried about the LS24AG32. The LS24AG32 model comes with a AU optronics M238HVN02.0 CELL but I couldn't find any information for the LS24AG30. Can somebody help me. Thanks in advance

Great how everybody in McLaren is feeling shitty even though they have a 1-2. Oscar potentially feeling the win was underserved, Lando feeling that the team isn't backing him and engineers, strategists all feeling unnecessarily stressed and having to go through a heated debrief

LTT still treats Linux like an in-joke.

Well the only one who seemed to actually like Linux at LTT was ~~Anthony(don't know her new name)~~ Emily. Once she went to the background after her gender transition, enthusiastic Linux coverage more or less disappeared

Testing if VRR is active and working

I recently updated to fedora 40 and enabled the experimental setting to get VRR running. But I am an idiot who has been playing at frames rates between 30-60 on screens without VRR for almost all of my life so I can't even know if VRR is actually working or not. Is there some rest I can run to see if VRR is functional¿? If not, which parts of the game should I concentrate to see the difference between VRR and no VRR¿?

So let me get this straight. My county banned most of the popular porn sites because of the negative influence it can have on the populace but has such a poorly written and enforced law that people who possess and watch CSAM are deemed to be not breaking the law. What the actual fuck is going on here. This is a dangerous precedent being set here and I can only hope that supreme court overrules the case and holds the guy guilty.

So I have this external 2.5" drive salvaged from an old laptop of mine. I was trying to use it to backup/store data but the transfer to the drive fails repeatedly at the ~290GB mark leading me to believe that maybe there is a bad sector on the drive. I tried to inspect the drive using smartmontools and smartctl but since it is an external drive, i was not allowed to do so. Is there anyway for me to inspect and fix this drive? I am on fedora ublue-main. The HDD is a 1TB seagate drive.

Edit : I am a linux noob so some hand holding will be appreciated. Also i am looking to use this drive only for low priority media files which i dont mind losing so please help even though it is not the greatest idea to use a failing drive

Edit 2 : It seems my post is not clear of what i am doing. I dont want to recover data from the drive. I want to try to use more of the drive for storing data

Since there is no F1TV community, I am posting here. I am trying to watch the pre season test on my phone running but am running into the error in the picture. My phone is running lineageOS 20. Is this a widevine certification issue¿? Is there anyway to resolve this¿?

Edit : Further phone details - Motorola G60. F1TV app used to work normally with the stock rom(at least it did last year)

As for discover wanting to restart to do their update, that's a fedora thing for an extra level of safety while updating

That shouldn't trigger for flatpaks though. No risk of breaking the system while updating flatpaks

It is the nuclear power vs fossil fuels vs renewables debate all over again. Nuclear is much greener than fossil fuels but comes with its own challenges regarding cost, safety and waste disposal. Renewable energy like solar, wind and hydro are better than nuclear but the point is that nuclear and renewables are not enemies rather they are allies who have to band together to beat fossil fuels.

Public transport is like renewables, the best solution but one which needs time because years of underdevelopment and under-funding means that they are not as developed as they should be.

EVs are like nuclear. Not the perfect solution but have the capability to serve areas and use cases that public transport (renewables) can't. There are issues like them costing more than the alternatives and that the disposal of waste produced by both is a problem with an unsatisfactory solution.

ICE vehicles are like fossil fuel energy plants. The worst of the worst with regards to their effect on the planet. Their only advantage is that they offer convenience.

So I think we should stop the narrative that EVs(nuclear) are bad because the are not the best solution at hand but rather combine increasing adoption of both EV(nuclear) and public transport (renewables) to combat the true threat that is ICE(fossil fuel energy plants).
