Clearly Italian math is the best

@BernardoMeurer change from Nouveau to nvidia

@Mostafa Then I can't use an external display at all

@BernardoMeurer hdmi audio on linux?

lolz

because the HDMI shit is attached to the Intel card

@EmilioPisanty I had some hope

@BernardoMeurer that's what you get for pretending that an open source OS can work without hardware driver issues plaguing you on any hardware younger than five years old

@EmilioPisanty It's my fault for buying Nvidia

If Nvidia did the same work AMD does for supporting their HW this wouldn't happen

But Nvidia just makes malware

And moreover it's not the OS's fault, it's just that I want to use Nouveau instead of their proprietary malware drivers

@BernardoMeurer there's plenty of plug and play drivers for nvidia

@EmilioPisanty What do you mean by that?

@BernardoMeurer what it says, really

They're generally not for Linux, though

They're malware

That's my point

Also, these Optimus set ups are a mess

@BernardoMeurer well, why did you buy an nvidia card, then?

because the secondary outputs are wired to the Intel chipset, and the NVidia card does some brouhaha to get the video through when it switches on

There's plenty of foss solutions that wouldn't give you these issues

@EmilioPisanty JR gave me a laptop with it

@BernardoMeurer well, you can change the card

Or you can install the oem drivers

I can't change the VGA in a laptop?

by OEM you mean proprietary?

Because with proprietary drivers I lose Optimus altogether

IIRC

or you can suck up any issues caused by substandard non-manufacturer drivers

You're such a corporate shrill

@BernardoMeurer no

How much are they paying you to corrupt me?

You will never get my virginity

but I have no pity in my heart for open-source nut-cases who dig themselves into hardware-driver issues by their own volition

My body belongs to the penguin

@BernardoMeurer well, the penguin demands your blood and sweat in everlasting hardware-driver toil

@EmilioPisanty It's all about the struggle

@BernardoMeurer mate, it's you and you alone that got yourself into this mess

It's not my fault if the manufacturer doesn't write drivers for their crap dude

their proprietary driver doesn't work!

well, that, and the fact that the linux community has been unable to build an environment where it is a viable business case for manufacturers to open-source their drivers

It has no support for their own tech

I'm not even asking for them to open source it

or indeed to provide enough of a market for full development of said drivers

although that would be nice

wat

All HPC is ran on Linux

@BernardoMeurer so why does HPC need good graphics, again?

The drivers handle CUDA/OpenCL too

or more to the point, why does HPC need NVidia Optimus?

To save powa

@BernardoMeurer CUDA has almost become the standard in GPU computing, right?

@Mostafa CUDA is one, OpenCL is other; but they're fairly similar

@BernardoMeurer Are you sure penguins are interested in interspecies mating?

@Mostafa I've been trying

@DanielSank Got me this hat

a Linux hat

=|

this can't be good

@EmilioPisanty Ubuntu is never good

@Blue I rarely smile for pictures

@BernardoMeurer I've heard Linux sucks at multithreading compared to windows

@BernardoMeurer yeah, well, this is a managed machine, so it's not like I have a choice

or rather, I do, I could ask for Windows if I wanted to

Use a Mac

@BernardoMeurer Apparently you're not the first one trying

@Mostafa The CFS needs improvement

@BernardoMeurer CFS?

How do you open epub files?

Completely Fair Scheduler

@Mostafa use Calibre

@BernardoMeurer Is it time to put graphics mods on Skyrim?

Is it time to break my GPU?

@0celoñe7 Dunno

10 internet points to whoever can explain this cover.

@ACuriousMind

@0celoñe7 Maybe the symmetries/periodicities of the pattern are supposed to be reminiscent of groups/periodic functions?

is it wrong to vote for someone on the SO election just because you think their species should be better represented?

@EmilioPisanty Heh

@ACuriousMind Seems reasonable.

Sam said it was a crystal lattice.

Hi, everybody.

@BernardoMeurer You look great.

@0celoñe7 I don't understand why that's confusing.

@DanielSank just a periodic pattern?

@DanielSank Idk, lack of intelligence?
