Thank you for your sacrifice.

I definitely would have made this mistake.

Dude... Tadpole, Anika Moa, the Runga twins, 8 Foot Sativa, Sinate... Yes, none of those are even from this decade but they are from NZ!

If there was a strong possibility they would end up homeless, or in a much worse living situation than they are currently in, that would be a strong incentive to change their behaviour.

Respectfully, I disagree. Many people in this state really DGAF and especially DGAF about (/have no understanding of) consequences, or they wouldn't be in this situation in the first place. Consequences work for people who have something to lose. For these people, many don't (feel they) have anything to lose. Change will not come from within in these cases.

I'm super keen to try this. Can anyone chime in on mesh optimisation (etc) though? I have very little knowledge on modelling/texturing/UV mapping/etc, but I do know that a shitty mesh just means someone is going to have to model it again by hand.

"People living in and around social housing should suffer the actions of the few disruptive/violent/etc people." - Everyone opposed to these actions.

The problem still stands though, as in, it's true, they are just moving the problem elsewhere.

So, what is to be done?

The only thing I can think of is to move these people into a separate environment where they can not bother other people, and be given training, tasks, and education, to help them out of it. Which unfortunately sounds a lot like labour camps. I'm out of ideas.

Just reconfigured /etc/makepkg.conf to use extra cores and tmpfs.. I've been compiling on the SSD with one core for so long it's embarrassing.

SOLVED Beta closed source drivers: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module (lemmy.nz)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by luthis@lemmy.nz to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Is anyone able to point me in the right direction to solve this issue please?

I installed the nvidia-beta drivers (Arch) and tested out Starfield. All is good. Then next time I try to startx, I get X failed to start etc.

Following the logs I get to:

` [ 1711.739] (II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 545.23.06 Sun Oct 15 17:26:55 UTC 2023

...

[ 1711.740] (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the

[ 1711.740] (EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages and

[ 1711.740] (EE) NVIDIA: consult the NVIDIA README for details.

`

Wierd. Install nvidia instead, y to remove conflicts/nvidia-utils etc, and it's all working. Try to install beta drivers again, same issue, rebooted, etc.

The beta drivers definitely did work. But now they magically aren't.

Any tips?

I did try running sudo mkinitcpio -P but no change.

Before meds, did you get really freakin tired from driving? (lemmy.nz)
 

A two+ hour drive would really take it out of me. I would often have to stop and have a 10 minute nap.

I've found meds have really helped, I still feel tired, but I don't have to sleep afterwards or take naps.

Same with riding motorbike, but double. I think it's the intense concentration for long periods of time.

STARFIELD NOW WORKING WITH NVIDIA BETA DRIVERS!! (lemmy.nz)
 

Just tested on Arch, installed nvidia-beta

Was using GE-Proton8-17

Got to the first open area. No missing textures, graphical glitches, nada. Seems to be running well, but didn't have FPS counter visible to see.

Discovered recently that Electric Wizard were kinda dicks back in the day. "At the time, we were pretty bad people. I got arrested for arson of a car, outside a police station. Tim [Bagshaw] went to nick a crucifix off a church roof so we could use it onstage..."

R. L. Burnside killed a man "possibly at a craps game."

Varg of ~~Mayhem~~ Burzum burned a couple churches and killed a bandmate.

I could list other examples, but would like to hear from other people and other music genres.

Hypothetically what do you think would happen if Labour and Nats were the opposition? (lemmy.nz)
 

Like if somehow the minor parties (Act, Greens, NZF, the cult party, TOP, etc) got enough votes and then also decided to join against both major parties? It would be a total mishmash and would never happen but what do you think would happen if we hopped into bizzarro world?

Congrats to the new CEO of NZ. What benefits will National bring to NZ over the next 3 years? (lemmy.nz)
 

Let's look on the bright side. The people voted this way (quite significantly) so they must be seeing something positive there. I already know all the downsides so let's discuss the upsides.

I guess his $60 is excluding restaurants?

Guys (in the gender neutral sense), what's your gut feeling on who will win this time? (lemmy.nz)
 

I don't know a single person voting Nats but my gut feeling is they will get it. And likely not by a huge margin, meaning Nat-Act govt likely.

ITT no discussing why X should or shouldn't be in, just your predictions.

Also, is it illegal to bet on elections?
