I imagine that is the case, however they could refund it given the situation.
I get the feeling they won’t allow refunds.

This bug was the nail in the coffin on Nvidia for me and I finally picked up a 6700 XT to replace my 2080 this month…
But, when I was on my 2080 trying out Wayland, I of course always noticed this bug on actual apps themselves (such as my IDE…) but it didn’t always manifest in games, at least not till 545 came out.
Not sure why, since of course most games are run through XWayland. Perhaps they’re in a similar situation and I’d be curious if they opened something like Discord, if they saw it there.
Ah I see, that’s unfortunate then. For what its worth, I still think the bot is a great idea for discoverability and bridging the two services together! I hadn’t seen it before since I usually have bot users muted and happened to see this comment chain while logged out.
I’ve given it a follow from my Mastodon account since I do tend to miss quite a few cool Lemmy posts it seems, and I think it’ll help me find some communities in general that I’ll want to subscribe to from over here.
I wonder if perhaps wrapping the majority of the text in a spoiler would work. Though I don’t know if that translates over to Mastodon (if not, it might look a bit funky on that side).
I hope you get to move over to Company B as soon as possible, and I’m sorry that things have been an absolute shitshow (from what I can gather) at A/C.
And if you really want even more barebones, you can just do git init --bare
into a directory on your VPS, and then git clone user@your.ip.here:path/to/the/directory
and use git as you would normally!
Sometimes the only way out is through :)
Hit escape to enter normal mode, :q
to quit if you don’t have any pending changes, :wq
to save and quit (or Shift ZZ), :q!
if you don’t care about your changes (save without exiting)
If you’re interested in learning Vim, I’d recommend running vimtutor
, which should be present on most systems. But of course, the best way to learn it is to simply use it as much as you can!
Definitely know where you’re coming from.with the frametime issues, I see the same thing whether in X or Wayland.
I thought that was just the state of Linux gaming for a while, since I hadn’t known anyone else personally who was using Linux (let alone playing games on top of that). It wasn’t until the Steam Deck came out which tons of my friends have that I realized “this is just another Nvidia thing is it”…
Primarily because my income doesn’t really allow for me to go any higher than that, I already worked a bit overtime last month since the opportunity was available in order to be able to pick it up. Short of a GPU magically falling from the sky, it was always going to be a lateral move at best. I’d love to either not have to spend money on a card that isn’t really going to gain me a performance boost (and I don’t do any raytracing, my gaming is still fairly lightweight - I’m still on 1080p 60Hz monitors for example), but Nvidia’s stupid games (ha) is pretty much forcing my hand.
As of right now, using Wayland is nigh impossible for me due to the this issue and a fix is a long way out from now because it requires approval on an explicit sync protocol, and then every single compositor will need to implement it - assuming it was approved fairly quickly, its not likely to land in KDE Plasma 6’s initial release, and I doubt it’ll make it in time for GNOME’s next release in the spring. If I used only Wayland-native apps it’d be fine, but that’s not the case - my IDE that I use for work for example uses XWayland and experiences the linked issue very heavily and makes it impossible to actually do any work in. Not to mention, most games still use XWayland since they run through WINE/Proton which doesn’t have Wayland support yet. But hey, at least Night Light/Color finally works in Wayland as of 545 (which don’t even get me started on how ridiculously long that took to get in)…
X11 is hugely problematic because I can hardly reach 60 FPS on just the desktop with basic windows open, the closest I can get is by running KDE and replacing the compositor responsibilities with picom, which has its own fair share of issues. I’ve spent all year trying various tweaks, driver versions, playing around with X/Nvidia settings, using KWin’s and GNOME’s triple buffer (patch), and this was the best I can do.
I was really banking on 545 fixing the situation with Wayland, but that’s not going to happen anytime soon given explicit sync needing to be added into XWayland - or Nvidia rewriting their driver to use implicit sync (which is a pipe dream, given that their driver’s unified architecture means that on Windows it would need to do implicit sync as well). NVK is still a fair bit out from being anywhere near production ready AFAIK, and nouveau is probably still a bit out there as well.
Ironically, Nvidia’s driver in Windows is also upsetting me. I get a stranger flicker from what I believe is the same issue as what was just fixed in 545 which is the power-state of the GPU changing. So this happens even when Steam draws its “Your friend is playing some game” notification, or opening a YouTube video.
Funnily enough, I didn’t even buy the 2080, it was passed down to me from a friend along with a few other components - I was previously on a GTX 970 which was… painful as I’m sure you can imagine due to its age, and wasn’t helped by Nvidia’s drivers being horrendous.
I’m not even a hardware person by any means (for various reasons, such as physical ailments), it was an accomplishment for me to be able to effectively tear down my old build, and replace all of the internals (PSU, Motherboard+CPU+RAM, GPU, liquid cooler… the whole works, only the case stayed the same really) so I’ll just be happy if I can get my new card swapped in without any issues. If one thing goes right for me this month, I just want it to be that.
At the end of the day, I just want my PC to work (and to let me literally work), and everything else is perfect and fully capable - well, I’m a bit disappointed by my new Intel WLAN card being shoddy in Linux but that’s a whole other story. Probably a lot longer of an answer than you expected, but that about sums it up haha.
Yep, I have a RTX 2080 and am picking up a 6700 XT once my pay check lands later today (put in a bit of extra time to justify the cost) - I’ve given Nvidia more than enough time to get their act together.
I have heard that Intel had just recently released a pretty decent update to their driver, I haven’t been following it too closely but there’s certainly hope.
Interesting, I will have a look at them - thanks!
The original commenter did mention they had health insurance
Have you found any other decent online-centric banks to switch to? I’ve been wanting to switch away from ONE for pretty much the reasons you listed, but through a basic search I didn’t see anything else to was too appealing to me.
And the 2FA thing is ridiculous, at one point they didn’t actually have the email option (or it was very well hidden) - had a bit of a rough month at some point and wasn’t able to pay my phone bill which got it suspended, I also happened to have my card locked and got kicked out of the app so… I couldn’t unblock my card to pay the phone bill, which I needed to get the 2FA code to login in… Ended up having to reach out to support and they were able to show me how to request a 2FA code over email.
This wouldn’t even be a problem with most sites because I always use TOTP/Webauthn via my Yubikey when I have the option, and for something as critical as my bank account I really do not want SMS/Email to be an option for 2FA (I get why they have it, but I’d like to be able to turn it off for my account).
Ugh, I miss Simple so much. I was alright with ONE until they stripped the virtual card function from pockets… What is the actual point of Pockets now if I have to transfer the money directly back to my main checking area??
Ah, congrats then! May there be more wins for you in the future!
Very nice! What game is this?
Yep, my desktop PC may or may not have one of its SSDs not mounted…
At the current moment, filtering is an app feature and isn't built into Lemmy itself unfortunately. Lemmy natively lets you block communities and users, but that's about it (with instance filtering coming up in the next version).
Thankfully Minecraft Dungeons does work via Proton, though I'm not super familiar with macOS so I'm not sure if Proton works for macOS given that Apple's platforms use Metal rather than Vulkan (though I hear a translation layer is being worked on for Vulkan->Metal).
Yep, I modded my switch, dumped the keys and my games and went “Now what?” and after playing via Yuzu on my PC I realized this was the only way I really wanted to play the few Switch games I enjoy.
Every now and then I’ll boot into the stock firmware to play Mario Kart with some friends when they want to play, and that’s it.
