Currently using a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB on Debian 12.

Let's say I wanted to switch to an AMD or Intel card. What's my cheapest option that's equal to or superior to the above card? I cannot keep track of video cards anymore.

Happy Tail Appreciation Day from @flann !

BREAKING: we have just completely removed all ads from OSNews. The ad industry sucks, so I've put my money where my mouth is. OSNews is now entirely ad-free, for everyone.

Since this means losing a chunk of income, I would greatly appreciate it if you could support us by becoming a Patreon, by making an individual donation through Ko-Fi, or by buying our merch.

I created a stupidly small soundfont. All so it could be fit into a 1 MB segment of RAM on an unpopular video game console.

Big thanks to @glairedaggers for commissioning this!

"I'm just saying," the first witch said. "A cat familiar is more traditional."

"Or a raven," the second witch said. "Where did she even get a dragon from, anyway?"

"She tamed it. In her last job," the third witch said.

"What job was that?"

"Princess."

"Oh. Well. No wonder she changed careers."

A new project, @cyberlicense, aims to provide an alternative to Creative Commons licences, with an explicit prohibition on use for AI purposes.

There is no detail / draft licence text yet, which of course will be vital, but this might be worth a look.

Unclear if the drafting process will be collaborative or public.
