Since it’s an old acer netbook with an Intel atom cpu it is highly unlikely it has any hardware decoding built in.

Wait… again???

Here comes the Lecture.

Wow who could have foreseen back doors getting back doored?

I know that it’s not their fault, it’s the small size of the team

This part is directly Telegram’s fault. If they cannot keep up with their moderation queue then they need a bigger moderation team. Preferably properly remunerated. There are news reports about how Facebook’s sub-contracted moderators work for these extremely shitty companies who track them based on how many reviews a minute they do, and which causes extreme psychological damage to the workers both because of the extreme content they have to see as part of their jobs and the bad working conditions they must put up with.

I don’t even watch Anime but I still get bummed when news like this hits.

This company has already laid off a bunch of employees, too.

The only charitable read of this is the end-user bypassing controls on company-supplied computers.

Of course that doesn’t mean that they won’t also shove secure boot, hw lockouts, DRM, etc on regular consumer laptops as well.

seeing your post then this scumbag back to back really hits…: https://lemmy.ml/post/19412006

Try running a command like vulkaninfo --summary.

Then try running VK_DRIVER_FILES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json vulkaninfo --summary (alternatively, just try running whatever else it is you use that reports you only have lavapipe available). See if there’s a difference and if it finally reports the hardware being used.

I’m not a Mint user but according to this page https://www.linuxmint.com/rel_wilma.php

• Run the Driver Manager
• Choose the NVIDIA drivers and wait for them to be installed
• Reboot the computer

What is the GPU?

Vulkan drivers come as part of Mesa, which would already be part of Linux Mint. Unless you have an Nvidia GPU, or a GPU that’s somehow too modern for Mint 21.3.

Why should they stand down? So that Israel can keep assassinating people in Iran’s territory with impunity?

She literally implied Jewish Americans protesting in DC were associates of Hamas and further implied they’re Anti-Semites. This was just two weeks ago when Netanyahu was at the Capitol giving a speech to his clapping seals (a record number of standing ovations for genocide). What the fuck are you on about?

Mind you, we are talking about Kamala’s statements. Not a random group’s that nobody’s ever heard of.

How do you know Kamala won’t do that? What signal has she given that her policy will be different from Biden’s?

Beginning to think he may become known as Teflon Tim instead

Shut the fuck up you genocide sympathizer. Go eat shit.

I really hate to “back in my day” this but we had computer labs for that when I was younger. And that didn’t require giving a monopoly company my name or any other information about me. And I wasn’t being ad-tracked all day long going to websites.
