Hmm. There’s no reason anything that supports 6gb RAM shouldn’t run Linux. I’ve janked together much worse Lubuntu rigs before.

Games@sh.itjust.works•If successful, Intel's next generation Battlemage graphics cards will benefit all gamers
1·2 years agoI don’t have any experience with any brand other than AMD on Linux, but my understanding is that anything other than AMD dGPUs are a crapshoot if you’re wanting any more than display out.
Arc looks great, but the drivers are barely okay at Windows. I doubt 3D works acceptably in Linux.
Given Arc’s relative performance, for Linux grab a 6600-6600XT-6650XT-7600-6700-6700XT and call it a day. Don’t think too hard about it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why can't I argue against claims of suffering?
3·2 years agoHey, are you doing okay?
Haven’t seen a particularly good BF deal in quite a few years.
Still punch the clerk at KMart though, it’s tradition.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why can't I argue against claims of suffering?
5·2 years agoSo here’s my perspective, as somebody who took many years of struggle and therapy to come to grips with the idea that I was abused and raped by a romantic partner:
For the person from the position of power, or a third party, you don’t get to decide the reality of the person experiencing the suffering. For the person it’s happening to - whatever their suffering is, it’s valid and real. That doesn’t belittle someone who has experienced worse. Everyone has their personal struggles. We’d all do better to consider other people’s experiences as valid and come at disagreements from a desire to learn and care.
Arguing for the sake of arguing is furiously jacking off your privilege boner for no real progress or useful outcome, other than feeling superior to someone lesser than you.
I have no earthly idea the context of why you’re asking though.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?
1·2 years agoBoth, but much more of my days are an Apple Watch SE2 than my DW5600.
I use it as a HUD - I want to know the exact time for work, current temps high/low, sunrise / sundown times, and a pop up for screening phone notifications helps me quite a bit with not checking my phone as much. I also appreciate wrist heart rate (for keeping anxiety in check,) compass is neat, and knowing the local dB is helpful for keeping my tinnitus from getting worse.
I never thought I’d like a smartwatch until I tried one.
If you want something more Android-y the Sony NW-A306 exists.

What do you think is the average rage-baiter take of Birdo? What’s worse for the anthropomorphic glory-hole in our children’s Nintendo games: that Birdo is an effeminate man, or t r a n s?
Hmm. That’s not a controversial as I was hoping for.
Nintendo isn’t being bold enough.
So I don’t know what “Mario is pronouns now” means, and I don’t want to feed a Search Engine to figure it out. Sounds like I don’t need to know!
I’d probably love the tedium of being a QA tester. I’d be happy to switch careers and take your job if it probably didn’t imply a pretty hefty pay cut.
