The only person derailing at this point is the person who refuses to engage with other ideas and just repeats “I stand by what I said.”

I’m telling you straight to your (virtual) face, that I read and processed what you opined on, as well as the quotes you included.

I mean no insult to you, but I definately disagree with you on the interpretation of the quotes you included.

And thats ok, well all see things from our own perspectives.

You obviously did not make any attempt to understand Debord’s quote at all if all you took from it is “plagiarism is okay.”

Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it. It embraces an author’s phrase, makes use of his expressions, erases a false idea, and replaces it with the right idea.

-Guy Debord, Society of the Spectacle, 1968

That looks like a justification to allow plagiarism to me, thats its ok out of necessity to do.

And I believe my interpretation is the most accurate one that most would take out of reading that whole quote, especially in the context of the conversation we two are having right now. 🤷

And for the record, I completely disagree with Debord based on his quote you supplied.

Again, I’m not trying to trash your belief system, I’m just disagreeing with it strongly, and pushing back against it.

Lets just leave this as agree-to-disagree, and move on, ok?

People focus so much on “but it’s not enforceable” and “you don’t own what you say on the Internet” that they forget it’s a statement of intention.

My inner tinfoil hat persona thinks its just corporate bots/astroturfers trying to shape the narratived away from every adding a license to their comments, as it truly does hold legal power.

Regular people either agree to different degress, or think its harmless and don’t care. Its only a few that REALLY REALLY REALLY get bent out of shape about it, for strange reasons (which goes back to fueling my inner tinfoil hat persona).

You’re sharing your support, however nominal, for good causes. I see nothing wrong with that ¯(ツ)/¯

Exactly, or moreso, additionally. My license allows for open-source/non-profit usage of my content, giving back to everybody else.

I just don’t believe that Corporations should be able to make money off of my content without compensating me for it, as that is one of the fundamental tenants of Capitalism.

You keep doing you, comrade. /gen /pos

Thanks for your support, its appreciated. o7

you literally dismissed the ideas without even considering them

Thats not true. I stand by what I’ve said.

At this point we’ve derailed the original purpose of this post enough, maybe we both just move on. It’s obvious we won’t agree on the matter.

Thanks for the purposeful misreading and at no point making an attempt to engage with a different set of ideas.

Hard disagree. And I stand by what I’ve said.

We’re done here and I will be shitting on you and your stupid fucking license vociferously from here on out because you’re an arrogant egotistical asshole.

It would probably be easier (and more mature) to just use the block functionality, but you do you, I guess. 🤷‍♂️

So the TL;DR of your reply is, that it’s okay to plagerise, that Humanity needs Corporations to do so to thrive. Gotcha.

For the record, and to repeat myself again, my license allows open-source/nonprofit usage of my comments by Humanity to train their LLMs.

Ah, ok. Thanks.

You’re defeatist attitude, and being so readily willing to give up your rights and protections, is disturbing to see.

Metaphorically speaking, you don’t have to suck corporate penis automatically. It’s okay to push back, even if you fail, at least you can look at yourself in the mirror the next morning.

Believe more in yourself, and of those other citizens around you. Don’t give in to the despair.

Safe Harbor laws say otherwise. And Law trump ToS.

And I do believe that licenses will be enforced at some point, right now we’re still in the Wild Wild West portion of things. Doesn’t mean I don’t want to lay down my markers now.

Also, I specifically want to make sure my comments are available for training for open source projects, which is what the license does.

I want to steal that footer

Here you go…

[~This~ ~comment~ ~is~ ~licensed~ ~under~ ~CC~ ~BY-NC-SA~ ~4.0~](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode.en)

Your footer rules, don’t let them haters win!

Thanks, I appreciate the support. And don’t worry I won’t. This isn’t my first rodeo with those who don’t like it. I just wish there was more moderation on Lemmy to combat it, so I can spend more time just interacting with others on posts content itself.

My point was just to say that while I’m sure there’s good and decent human beings who may disagree but be able to debate issues online with each other, there’s a whole other bunch that would rather just see things burn, if it doesn’t line up exactly to their personal belief system, and that makes it problematic for someone to expose their inner issues to everyone else, even when they desperately need their help.

And that’s before throwing in conflict AI bots, and astroturfers trying to generate activity, that just pollutes the waters even more.

can Internet strangers do anything to help?

Thank you for asking, sincerely, but if Internet strangers tear into me for just having my comments have licensing footer text, there’s no way I’m going to start stating any of my real issues that I’m dealing with, for them to judge.

Either involuntary AI generated pornography is wrong or it isn’t.

Agree. Laws have to be applied evenly, or else they are not Laws.

I don’t think AMDVLK is even installed by default with Fedora.

From that link I sent you it seems like it has to, because it’s the low-level driver, and then RADV is a user space one that calls into it.

That’s basically what I’m asking you about, if I’m understanding you correctly, you’re saying it’s an either or, but that other comment that I linked you states that they’re both needed, one is system level, and the other is user space level.

_{This comment is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0}

The default driver used by Fedora is RADV.

Alright. I remembered them switched around, but there was a migration a year or two ago from one to another, default wise.

Help me with >THIS< then?

This suggests that both (most/all??) are bundled, and you could even run one program in one driver and another program with the other driver.

This was mentioned in that post/thread as well …

Also if you use AMD card RADV is the best for gaming and it’s the default for most distros so it’s an out of the box experience

Its also mentioned that environmental variables can be set at runtime to switch on the fly (at program startup) which is used. I just don’t know if Proton does any of that for you under the covers at startup or if you have to manually add the parameters to the properties for the Steam game to force it to use another one.

Bummer. And I had such high/good thoughts about the Netherlands.

_{This comment is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0}

You’re missing my point. AMD’s official Linux drivers are ALSO garbage. Try it. Go install AMDVLK and check how well games work. You’re almost certainly using RADV, which was not developed by AMD.

I’m using whichever one Proton/Steam uses. I’m assuming its AMDVLK because its the ‘official’ one. I think I remember RADV being switched away from in Proton a year or two ago, but don’t hold me to that. I checked my enviromental variable “AMD_VULKAN_ICD” but didn’t see it set to anything.

Whichever one I’m using, I get 120fps on my 3D games (playing No Man’s Sky and/or Baldur’s Gate 3 on the second monitor while typing) running them through Steam/Proton without a hiccup. Never a problem.

True that. Best to nuke it from orbit, just to be sure.

Which country is that?

I’m looking for a new gaming laptop. It’s impossible to find any with an AMD GPU here.

I did a search on “gaming laptop with amd gpu” in DuckDuckGo and got THIS link that listed gaming laptops.

I’m sure that if you take more time than you did to reply to me to look for them, you’d find them. Edit: Apologies, apparently the Netherlands are a no-AMD GPU in a Laptop free zone. My bad.

AMD’s first party drivers are still garbage.

As I mentioned in my comment you replied to, I use Linux, and not Windows, so can’t speak (today) towards AMD’s Windows drivers.

For me, I let Linux worry about the drivers, so I don’t have to.

Best decision I’ve ever made, PC build wise. So nice to get away from NVidia and not worry about graphics drivers.
