Fair enough, but I think the DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME command you’ve got now will only work for DXVK, if you launch a game that uses vulkan directly (rather than via translating DirectX calls through DXVK) you might possibly find the game running on the wrong GPU, just bare that in mind

• For Steam apps, the previous method doesn’t work (for some reason - maybe it uses a custom launch process?), but after trying many different ways, I was able to get most Steam apps to use the correct GPU (GPU 0) by adding the custom launch option PROTON_USE_WINED3D=0 %command%

Steam runs the commands to launch the games directly, so editing .desktop files won’t affect anything launched through steam directly.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=0 is related to the graphics back ends, so I wouldn’t use it for selecting the GPU, as, while it might work for making a game use the dedicated GPU, it probably won’t work reliably as you’ve discovered. For setting a game to run on the NVIDIA GPU I think PRIME and NVIDIA Optimus are the solution, but I can’t help you much since all my systems have only a single GPU enabled. One of the following 3 launch options in steam should work:
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only %command%

DRI_PRIME=1 %command%

prime-run %command%

Edit: I’ve found the artist’s post of this image on Instagram and while they have plenty of other works on their website that I don’t think used any AI, I feel like this image was at least partially AI generated, probably specifically prompted to be in her style (maybe they trained a LoRA to make it match better). I don’t get why the only video they shared of them doing any shading/line-work is of some shading that isn’t even in the final piece. It’s totally possible that they didn’t use AI, but without carefully studying their prior work (especially pieces from before AI image generation became common) this seems too much like AI, even compared to their other works that I have viewed.

Window reflection (?) spanning the window to the table

I think that might be from the OS and someone just took a screenshot?

There’s a couple other things that look out of place to me:

• More inconsistencies with the floor height near the base of the door-sized notice board with the frog on top
• What is going on with the papers around the printer? It’s as if it’s chucking papers out of both the top and bottom/side, but presumably one of those should be the paper tray
• Papers in the bottom left would need to be a pretty tall stack and placed in the inaccessible dead space at the corner of two desks - seems more like AI filling empty space, than an artist deciding to design it like that (edit: just realised partly why it looks off is that the papers seem to get smaller in size higher up the stack, they’ve stacked the papers in size order)
• Image is square ratio, which is very common for AI image gen
• Frogs have inconsistent numbers of “fingers”/“toes”, sometimes 3, sometimes 4
• Bottom desk is a weird shape, based on the perspective, probably because AI doesn’t understand vanishing points
• Floor pattern/lines doesn’t continue in the triangle between the two desks in the bottom left
• The middle building outside the window has full building length windows, but looks below the window cleaner frog and what should be wall is coloured like a window, while more windows are missing between the legs of the window cleaner

What bill?

To add RTX 30XX series doesn’t support AV1 encode, only decode, so any AV1 encoding would have to be done on the CPU (better to use h.264 or HEVC for hardware encode in OBS)

111 isn’t an urgent line (if it’s genuinely an emergency go to A&E or call 999) and from personal experience it takes hours for them to get back to you, at which point you’ve either already told them your symptoms have got worse, still had no call back and gone to A&E or they get back to you eventually and tell you that you might be fine, but should go to the hospital anyway and sit in a queue for 6 hours so they can make sure it’s not actually something serious. NHS 111 is just as useless as the NHS Direct it replaced

For GP appointments that are released on the day, in the morning, you can avoid waiting in a long call queue to the GP by booking the appointment through the NHS app if your GP supports it.

I wonder if the “metal cubes” were tungsten cubes that the AI was just pricing as if it was some cheap steel cube or something

You can’t even set a timer with Gemini without enabling Gemini app activity (you used to be able to before, but that changed many months ago). This means it can’t even replicate the basic functionality of assistant out of the box, without agreeing to give Google even more rights to your data, in no way would I consider it a replacement unless it’s able to fulfil the basic functionality of assistant with the same permissions.

No way am I ever going to pay a subscription for a games launcher, especially when alternatives exist

I think it’s because no one had archived it yet, so I did, here’s the direct link to the archive: https://archive.is/MgMu9

Readeck also has a KOReader integration via OPDS catalogue

From what I’ve seen recently one of the things it did was use a fake email function they gave it to try to whistleblow to a government agency about issues with some medical testing or something

Unlimited, but with reduced upload speed after 5TB. It’s Jottacloud for €119 per year. I use it with rclone which lets me encrypt everything myself so I don’t have to trust the provider.

I’m surprised more of them didn’t try to bring the canvas closer

It’s not though, if you’re working in a restaurant/bar/shop and your boss tells you to give good service to everyone, especially (or in particular) Americans, then you’re being told that it’s more important that Americans get good service than other groups, even if you’re supposed to provide good service to everyone.

The fact they may be a non-native speaker might mean that they intended “including” rather than “particularly”, but it doesn’t change the actual meaning of the words that they wrote.

Yeah, German policing of the situation has been pretty insane

Not really, BLM was started to highlight issues of racism, discrimination, inequality etc. faced by black people.

I would not have had an issue if the mod had said equal rights for all people, including Jewish people. It’s the fact that they say equal rights for all, but “in particular” one specific group that I take issue with, doesn’t matter if that group is Jews, Christians, white people, black people, etc.

What I said here: https://feddit.uk/post/29329161/17366266

If we want equal rights for all (as we should) then that includes Jewish people, we don’t then specify that one group “in particular” gets equal rights. I wouldn’t have taken issue with the sentence if it simply said Jewish people included, because “all people” does indeed include Jewish people, but “in particular” is picking them out as special.

Why do they need to be specified? If it’s equal rights for all people, then that includes Jews. There is no need to specify if you are promoting equality for all.
