Oh, the #AMD NPU driver already got upstreamed into #Linux 6.14? Fancy that, I thought I had to build myself a dkms module to get it running on OpenSuse. 🙂
Now I'm curious how involved it will gonna be to make something like #Codestral run on it. The usual tools are probably not yet well optimized to utilize that Co-Processor OOTB.

Ello sweet gaming Friendos 
A music Toot this time but I'll throw in some gaming as well. 
I got my first weekly stats from the stats.fm app, so I wanted to share here. It's definitely not a surprising list.
hihi...
I played a little NMS yesterday while chatting to @Nio who was working on the expedition. I decided to go out and find some more bones. I wanna build a exhibition kind of area and then play around with different kinds of fossil displays. I know it won't ever be as cool as others will be able to make it, as I truly suck with building in NMS (I struggle with the 3D aspect and how to connect things properly). But, it will be fun to try it out... 😊
Today there won't be any gaming. I've given myself a day off, no garden work, but I'll visit the zoo for a few hours. Hopefully the weather will be nice and it won't be too busy in the early hours... 🤞🏻
On Tuesday, I wanna do some garden work again. And then probably reward myself with some gaming. 😊
Hope you all had a good weekend!
and that the new week will bring loads of fun and positivity!

REPORTER: Is there pain in the market at some point you're unwilling to tolerate?
TRUMP: I think your question is so stupid. I don't want anything to go down, but sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something.

Who Really Built the Egyptian Pyramids—And How Did They Do It?
Although it’s certainly more plausible than hypotheses like ancient aliens or lizard people, the idea that slaves built the Egyptian pyramids is no more true. It derives from creative readings of Old Testament stories and technicolor Cecil B.OC (Openculture.com)

Yesterday was incredible. **The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide** Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest, Let's go even bigger — our goal is to get 3.5% of America in the streets. Keep your signs, make new ones, and start preparing now. Let's make history again on 4/19,

Actually, it was good to be the country that bought all the stuff everyone else made, and a lot of people are going to be surprised at how miserable it is when we're not that anymore.

Thanks. I will keep an eye on it for the next few days.
Okay, glad to hear it is working in the end. Thanks for info on what worked, maybe someone else will run into this as well.
I had a look at the Github for clues about this and there seemed to be some people who had to reload timelines to get filters to kick in, so maybe there is something like that going on.
A new RAND study just found that $79 trillion was taken from the bottom 90%.
