  • It’s worse than useless.

    There is barely a lack of third party video evidence. And in cases where we don’t have those, a body cam is useless… unless there is a guarantee a) they are running and b) the footage is accessible.

    So handing out body cams will not help in any way. I won’t be a deterrence for officers if they have control when to activate it. It will rarely produce footage incriminating officers and if it does that footage will be held back anyway.

    There is however a reasonable chance to capture enough footage that can be framed (or straight out manipulated) to show those violent protesters they crave for their narrative.











  • “Doesn’t help” is a bit unspecific for an actual answer.

    I simply installed nvidia-580xx-dkms and nvidia-580xx-utils and that was all. If you did not already use the dkms-driver package before you of course also need <your kernel>-headers and dkms (but the latter should be pulled as a dependency for nvidia-580xx-dkms anyway)…

    Which automatically asks for the removal of nvidia-open (the standard package for the base linux kernel) or nvidia-open-dkms and nvidia-open-utils that replaced the earlier nvidia, nvidia-dkms, nvidia-utils packages when 590 hit.

    PS: If you still have stuff using 32bit add (you might have guessed the scheme by now…) lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils to replace lib32-nvidia-open-utils


  • nvidia was automatically replaced with nvidia-open (also nvidia-open-lts, nvidia-open-dkms etc).

    Simply installing nvidia-580xx-dkms, nvidia-580xx-utils (and lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils because Steam still needs all that 32bit stuff), which automatically removes the 590-open stuff because of conflicts, should be all you need to do.

    PS: And of course your kernel’s header package if you did not use dkms before… (dkms should be pulled as a dependency automatically)
