Gentoo was mentioned more actually.

I’ve worked with a bunch of hardcore Linux users in my career, some of whom even knew about Lemmy. Not one of them have ever worn striped socks though.

RTX 3080 owner here. I get a black screen whenever I try to play a game after the desktop goes to sleep in Linux Mint. The only workaround is to restart the PC and play it before its screensaver comes on. The struggle is real.

I just finished printing this basket for my bed since there’s no room for night stands. It’s made using the last spare bits of filament I had lying around but who cares since you normally can’t see it from most angles anyway.

Can anyone recommend a good server for this? I’m looking for one that’s federated with everything else.

Well if you frame it like that you might get their attention sooner.

This won’t persuade legislators to pass vehicle privacy laws one bit. Not until it personally affects them.

It makes sense though. Adults can buy whatever they want without hoping it would be gifted to them. Kids on the other hand aren’t exactly swimming in disposable income.

I agree. Pretty much everything my wife and I receive are things we didn’t want or need in the first place. The stuff we give out are also the same for their recipients. We’re planning to tell our friends and family next year to skip out on presents for us and just donate the money to a good cause if they still want to gift us something. The only thing that matters to us is to spend a good time with them.

The only exception to this would be for kids of course. They deserve the joy of unwrapping toys and gadgets.

This time is a little different. A lot of slightly older but really decent hardware won’t be compatible with Window’s TPM requirements. They’re forcing their customers to buy all new hardware for an overall worse experience. Pair that with the upcoming Trump tariffs and you’ll see some people second guess their next choice of OS if it means they can save on a lot of money if they make some concessions on what they want. I’m not saying it’ll be a huge change but at least it’ll keep ticking up the Linux market share enough for some software publishers to start offering their products on the platform like Steam already is.

Raid builds hurt financially up front but can save you from a lot of heartache later, even with larger disks.

The last great Windows before Microsoft began its enshittification.

Does anyone have a video of his roast?

The only way to convince you this is wrong is if you get swatted and have your dog killed for barking too much in front of you while cuffed.

The Alamo’s a story of American expansionism by an ungrateful group of settlers welcomed by Mexico.

This may be kind of a dumb question, but would it affect Mint in any way if Canonical were to reintroduce ads? I know Mint’s a fork but I’m not sure how integrated that part of the OS is.

Their shit films are doing poorly at the box office. It must be due to piracy!

Manually transferred about 7TBs to my new Rpi4 powered NAS. It took a couple of days because I was lazy and transferred 15 GBs at a time which slowed down the speed for some reason. It could handle small sub 1 GB files in half a minute otherwise.

Solidworks has the most intuitive interface I’ve seen so far. I may be biased from using it for like 15 years at this point but I’ve also tried Fusion 360, SketchUp, Ondsel and FreeCAD with varying degrees of success in creating designs and assemblies more complicated than a nut and screw.

We really need to have a compulsive voting law where the fine is like $1000 dollars. To make it easier though voters should get a federal holiday for elections, a choice of mail in voting, and be rewarded with $50 dollars for doing it. For all of you people who hate the idea of being compelled to vote, jury duty is mandatory but you get a small stipend for your time (at least in CA) and it’s necessary to keep a functioning government.

Now if only we can get rid of the electoral college and implement ranked choice voting…
