Sick. I got an a770le when they launched. Buggy AF, but not bad performance when it decided to work. It currently lives as a dedicated av1 encoder in a Plex server

"federation" and "decentralization" are the new hotness in social networks,
Are they? I think it only seems like that from inside the fediverse. As far as blue sky goes I think the new hotness is just getting the hell away from anything to do with elon
It's also not, like, unattainable
But it's definitely well beyond what any hobbyist is going to set up in a whim
Presently? Hardly at all. It is interesting that a private Corp is even seriously playing with building a decentralized platform, I guess.
The files are out there to host your own server but from the short look I took it's pretty involved. Most people with the knowledge and interest to host their own twitter-like server have probably already started a mastodon instance.
Wish it was mastodon; this feels like kicking the can down the road rather than actually solving any problems. Whatever, it's still better than twitter
He didn't already have a trademark? I'm surprised.
Anyway, here comes a flood of ragebait about how Geoff is trying to own the concept of award shows
Yeah, mastodon simply doesn't have an advertising budget, and having to pick an instance, while trivial, is still enough to stop a lot of people from joining.
Genuinely the single worst messaging app I've ever used. Worse than Skype, which is crazy because Microsoft owns that too.
$750 a year to maintain health
Lol
Idk, I grew up fat in the US and everyone around me made damn sure I never forgot it.
Fat people don't tend to be any kinder to other fat people, in my experience.
Debian and learn to use the nix package manager for your bleeding edge stuff

Been a while but I played around with the a770 in Arch for a few months. It didn't play nice with proton and even native games were hit and miss. Better support from Intel than nvidia gives, but it's a new platform and Linux development was definitely taking a back seat to the windows drivers which were also a buggy mess.
And basically nobody had the cards so if something didn't work your options were to give up or become a computer graphics programming wizard and fix it all yourself from scratch.
To answer the question: not really, no. The drivers themselves may have been fine, but who knows how any given software will handle a brand new GPU architecture.
