Possibly. If you have the option to use DisplayPort instead of HDMI, that should also resolve it today.
I think it also depends on what distro you’re using. On Linux Mint Cinnamon, which still uses X11 by default, I haven’t been able to use the highest refresh rate of my monitor. But the experimental Wayland support did it without issue.
Later edit: I think you have to compile the whole Linux kernel with the patched amdgpu driver. The GitHub repository for it is linked in the article: https://github.com/mkopec/linux
Edit: I shouldn’t comment before reading the article… This whole comment is irrelevant. Keeping it up for posterity.
End-users generally use the amdgpu driver in the Linux kernel. When it’s ready, it’ll be merged into the kernel and your next kernel update will have it. If you’re on a gaming-targeted distro, they usually get kernel updates pretty fast, so you won’t have to wait long after it’s ready.
Or TL;DR: do nothing, keep your system up to date, you’ll get it eventually!
I generally like what he does, but sometimes he crosses lines that I can’t really forgive. Cheating in a multiplayer game against unaware players is not acceptable. https://youtu.be/os4DcbpL0Nc
He literally describes it as “bullying some nerds”, and you know what, that’s 100% accurate and I hate it.
To the best of my knowledge he never repeated this stunt, so maybe it’s forgivable, but he still did it while obviously completely aware of how wrong it is. Gross.
His other videos that I’ve watched are fine.
I imagine “snews” would be pronounced kind of like “snooze”, so it’s funny that it’s intended to be the polar opposite of an alarm snooze :)
OP posted the two pages in the wrong order, so you (and I) saw page 2 before page 1.
Well, sort of. They’re not for secutiry, that’s for sure. They were originally about making it harder for automated bot requests to go through and overload the server. ReCAPTCHA then started turning it around to make OCR better using machine learning, which is commonly agreed to be a Good Thing since it helped digitize old books and things like that. But of course, this in turn made it possible for bots to get past the CAPTCHA, and everything spiraled from there.
At some point everyone kind of forgot the real point of a CAPTCHA, and it’s now much more of a free training data generator and much less of an obstacle for bots. But it still can prevent complete rookies from making thousands of requests per second with a simple python script, so it does serve a little bit of that original purpose.
Love this webcomic. Original source: https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/miniFantasyTheater/014.html
It’s an open-source comic. The Krita project with all the original layers is free to download, and the SVG and text for the speech bubbles is hosted on git so it can be translated to many other languages. I’ve never seen a webcomic do this before, it’s really neat. And of course, the artwork is just beautiful!
It’s an awesome comic.
I don’t use one myself for much the same reason as you. But I think a lot of people just need their phone and up to 3 cards (credit card, license/ID of some sort), so a wallet phone case isn’t that much bulkier than a simple phone case. Yeah there’s other things you’d put in a wallet, but they aren’t strictly everyday carry things, so you can put them in a separate wallet or purse/bag and only take that when you need it.
For my mom I think she just likes a case with a front cover, and it happens to have space for cards so she uses it. So the “bulk” of it is a direct result of what she’s after (the front cover), it doubling as a wallet is just a bonus.
I can never see it as cool, maybe because my mom uses one. But it’s practical.
Pretty much all of them, up to and including biting me. 🥰
that is without a doubt the liquidest cat I’ve ever seen
I highly doubt they were talking about gaming.
Yeah, you’re right, and that sucks. Mastodon is much better at this.
The Fediverse’s biggest onboarding problem is having too many choices that seem important but don’t really matter. Namely, which instance to sign up on. Listing two different platforms that do the same thing and even federate with each other would only make it worse. I’m guessing that’s why they only listed one.
As for why choose one over the other, I don’t have a horse in this race, I’m sure they had their reasons.
Maybe the necessary codecs just aren’t installed in Debian by default? Mint and Ubuntu are targeted at laptops for general use, so it makes sense they’d bundle all Bluetooth codecs in a default installation to be ready for most users. But Debian makes fewer assumptions like that, and is often used for servers, so perhaps they didn’t want to bloat it with codecs that many installations will never need.
I’m just guessing here, but that makes sense to me.
You’ve got some courage standing in the middle of the street with no visibility like that. A car can just appear out of the blue and run you over. Glad it didn’t!
Though, if it was as quiet as it looks then you could reasonably expect to hear a fast car long before it got near, so perhaps it’s not as dangerous as it looks.
I never actually had to deal with Bluetooth issues on Linux so take this with a grain of salt.
BT audio devices generally support multiple different encodings, for example aptX, but they can always fall back to the most basic and most horrible codec that is universally supported on any BT host device. Sounds like that’s what’s happening. So you might want to look into why your PC isn’t using the better options.
I got a (very cheap) Thinkpad from my university. It had that proprietary Ethernet port. It came with a ThinkPad-branded USB to Ethernet adapter. The adapter came with the laptop and still didn’t use the proprietary port!
Now, there is a chance that the university IT which set stuff up before giving it to me, is responsible for disappearing the proprietary adapter. But because the USB adapter is branded with ThinkPad, I really think it’s just what it came with.
Out of curiosity, what do you recommend instead?
This is fantastic. Thanks for posting the reddit link, which has now been edited further:
And the linked thread is basically a writing competition that the author is hosting with a $100 prize. The title is “Announcing the 2026 Beefhammer Prize For Excellence in Minotaur Erotica”. Lovely!
