Smosh humor.

Cycling kickstarters have an awful track record. Make sure it’s make by an actual cycling company and even then it’s better to do a late pledge after some fulfillment and reviews.

It just sucks because he’s getting a relatively “white glove” treatment compared to the usual drug war policies. Criminalization was always wrong and Joe Biden caused that in his actions in the Senate. If Joe Biden can learn empathy for drug addicts through his son I hope something good comes of it.

Everything search app is easily my most used on my Windows PC. Instant, as-you-type file search by name with detail sorting and wildcard support. I set a keyboard shortcut as well. It puts Explorer search to shame. As good as Spotlight, which I was missing from when I had a Mac in 2008.

LaunchyQT - modern fork of Launchy that actually gets development. App launcher, dead simple.

FanControl - Fan curve software with all the features I want including hybrid temp sources, sensible automatic settings, visual graphs with an intuitive interface.

AutoHotKey - Hotkey scripting language that I can use even as someone who barely codes.

Transcribe! - Not open-source but it’s a reasonably priced audio and video slow down app for transcribing.

Yes, instances are quaking in their boots that lemmy world might *checks notes* block two specific communities. Chilling to would-be pirates everywhere.

The lemmy code is free as in beer and free as in freedom, so you don’t need to give any info to use it yourself.

I watched it and it’s intriguing. The characters have similar roles to the real show and speak in similar ways. The problem is that the “writer” has no point of view and therefore the satire was completely missing.

I’m more certain about the first search part.

It took me a distressing amount of time to locate a swimwear brand that even makes a two to four inch inseam swim trunk. It’s Sauvage Swimwear, btw. Pricy, but if you’re like me and buy one pair every decade it’s worth it.

People look down on dress sneakers (dress shoes that have comfortable soles) but as long as they are fully brown or black, 90% of people would never notice them.

The first time anybody on your instance searches for a separate lemmy community, your Lemmy instance reaches out for the other community and learns that it exists. After that point it shows up in searches and after one person subscribes it appears in your instance’s All feed.

Bring back cloaks.

It’s really hard to know if any particular animal feels pain. There are also hundreds of kinds of jellyfish with a variety of levels of intelligence. Some vegans would tell you that just because the nature of their intelligence is alien to us doesn’t mean it’s less valuable. Personally I find it difficult to empathize with any creature that lacks a brain, especially plants.

Kind of unrelated but squids are often extremely intelligent, and are definitely not vegan in my book.

I like the idea of a locally stored and locally encrypted password manager because when your passwords are on somebody else’s server with 10s of thousands of other people, that server becomes an attractive target for hacks. Who would bother hacking my computer just for one set of passwords?

But with something hosted, they do (probably, do your research) have professional security experts working to protect their database.

Don’t use regular Arch if you’re struggling. There are some arch-based distros that are more user friendly, though. Like EndeavourOS or ArchMan. Manjaro can be good too but there are legitimate problems with how the project is run.

I was having graphics driver problems in Ubuntu-based distros until I tried Linux Mint.

If you get crashes right before or after login, it’s often a (Nvidia) graphics issue. To get around this, you could use nomodeset in the Grub menu to get a successful first boot where you can then install the proprietary drivers.

Look at sections 4 and especially 5 on this page
Also, here is that info in a tutorial format

Also, you may want to set the Desktop Environment to Xorg or X11 (same thing) if Wayland is causing you problems. It’s older, but in some cases more efficient and less experimental. Check out the section: Switching desktop environments using a graphical user interface. It should look similar to the pictures. And notice that the “gear” icon may not appear until you select a user or start typing your password.

If your problem is different than this, open a support ticket in the discord or forums of the distro you’re using. Linux Mint has a great system for this on Discord.

I don’t understand how anybody could see this market consolidation as a positive! Yes, in the short term ABK games will be added to Game Pass, but once Game Pass is the only “game” in town, the price gouging monopolistic behavior will follow.

Well yes, it has been discussed a lot. But also, copyleft and other open source licenses are political in that they prevent capitalist exploitation to a degree.
