I'm in the middle of a mass migration to Linux, and my gaming PC is the last holdout. I do most of my gaming on a TV with a controller, so I love the idea of a console-like OS like Bazzite, which is perfect for my use case.

That said, I have an AMD 7800 XT video card that I'd love to use to its full potential: 4k@120Hz, HDR, and VRR. All of this works fine with Windows over HDMI, but with the HDMI forum rejecting AMD's HDMI 2.1 drivers, this isn't possible on Linux.

I've tried every DisplayPort to HDMI cable under the sun, including the Cable Matters cable some claim works (it doesn't). The closest I get so far is 4k@120Hz with HDR using this cable, but still no VRR.

Am I just SOL right now? Is there any stone I've left unturned? Is there any hope that things could change in the future? I'd love to hear any insights that anyone may have!

This needs support ASAP. Incredible project

Remembrance of the catastrophic earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010 comes as the country faces major challenges, including gang violence and extreme poverty.

The earthquake, which had a magnitude of 7, took place on 12 January, 2010, killing at least 200,000 people and displacing 1.5 to 2 million more. Within 30 seconds Port-au-Prince was turned upside down, families torn apart and tens of thousands of people put at risk of starvation.

Fifteen year later, the scars remain visible in the city.

Various countries and international groups raised almost $10 billion (€9.7 billion) for Haiti, pledging to rebuild the island and support its people. But Antonal Mortimé, who was at the time executive secretary of the Platform of Haitian Human Rights Organisations (POHDH), told Haitian media that the funds were not in fact invested in the reconstruction plan after the earthquake.

"Everything would have been different if the allocated funds had actually been invested," he said.

Like him, many Haitians blame the international community and the United Nations for their slow response. They claim there was a focus on Western staff in the immediate searches.

They also blame the UN for the cholera crisis which broke out a few months after the earthquake and claimed yet more victims. It was reported that the outbreak was due to UN troops from Nepal improperly setting up waste disposal in their camp at Meille, a small village north of Port-au-Prince.

The UN admitted some responsibility in 2016, with deputy spokesman for the secretary-general, Farhan Haq, saying: "Over the past year, the UN has become convinced that it needs to do much more regarding its own involvement in the initial outbreak and the suffering of those affected by cholera."

A generation of children is bearing the scars of Haiti’s earthquake, according to the charity Save the Children, their futures shaped by repeated displacements, ongoing crises and persistent disruption to their education over the past 15 years.

"While Haiti has made some strides in recovery, ongoing violence from armed groups has crippled progress, leaving children’s futures hanging in the balance," the charity said in a statement issued on Wednesday, 8 January.

Chantal Sylvie Imbeault, Save the Children’s country director for Haiti, said: “Life has been a series of crises for many children in Haiti. From hurricanes to earthquakes to the rampant violence we’re seeing today, many families we’ve spoken to have been displaced eight, nine, 10 times in the past 15 years."

Referring to the situation in the country today, she added: "Armed groups have turned Port-au-Prince into an open-air prison for children. Nowhere in the city is safe. They can’t safely go to school, play outside or leave their neighbourhoods. These children’s futures are slipping away.”

President Jovenel Moise's 2021 assassination exacerbated the instability, and the consequences of several natural disasters, including the 2010 earthquake, have worsened the crisis.

Almost half the population now lives in hunger and extreme poverty, according to the International Rescue Committee, who put Haiti on its list of "10 crises the world can’t ignore in 2025".

But Haiti has suffered from political violence for decades, due to political instability and years of dictatorship followed by poor governance, US interventions and the consequences of the enormous debt inflicted by its former colonial ruler, France, since Haiti's independence in 1804.

Haitians had paid more than 112 million francs to France (around €547 million) by 2022, according to research by the New York Times and academic centres.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been wondering about this for a while now— does the Fediverse have a potential equivalent to platforms like Podchaser?

For those unfamiliar, Podchaser serves as a database and discovery platform for podcasts, with features like ratings, reviews, creator building, integrations with various apps and platforms, and more.

I personally believe that something like this could fit really well within the decentralized, open-source nature of the Fediverse, especially given how creative and diverse the communities, and Fediverse Platforms, are.

If something like this already exists, I'd love to hear about it.

And if not, has anyone ever considered potentially making one?

Perhaps have it be a fork of Bookwyrm, called something like:

Podwyrm

or something similar?

Similar to the Platform concept of Moviewyrm, as mentioned in my other post.

(https://lemmy.world/post/24118854)

Unfortunately, I lack the knowledge, time, and energy to spearhead such a project, but I am happy to brainstorm ideas or support in small ways if someone out there is inspired to take this on.

Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts.

Summary

Caroline Darian, daughter of convicted rapist Dominique Pelicot, insists her father should die in prison.

Pelicot, 72, was sentenced to 20 years for drugging and raping his wife, Gisèle, and facilitating her assault by 50 other men over a decade.

Police uncovered his crimes after an unrelated arrest led to disturbing evidence.

Darian, who suspects she was also drugged, campaigns against drug-facilitated assault.

She struggles with her dual identity as the daughter of both Pelicot and her mother, now a feminist icon in France.

The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Friday an agreement to repatriate approximately $52.88 million in forfeited assets to Nigeria. The assets are linked to a corruption case involving former Nigerian Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke and her associates.

I am about to begin receiving a benefit to the tune of an extra $2k per month that I don't have a need for. I'm fortunate enough that all my needs are met financially and this is truly bonus income. If it didn't exist, my life wouldn't change significantly, and it's not enough to quit my job. Trying to get others thoughts on what would be good uses of this money that would benefit me and my family.

Thoughts:

• ALL_IN_VTSAX - hit FIRE goal earlier than planned
• kiddo's college fund - hit funding goal earlier than planned
• do fun things - vacation fund, memories with family
• fund hobbies - buy things I don't need but "lower-guilt" use of spare funds

Probably a combination of all of the above, but interested to hear the thoughts of others.

I'm also reminded of:

When you have more than you need, build a bigger table.

Curious of ways to help influence things in a bubble larger than my family too.
