Not only is this comment stupid, but it isn't even remotely true. There are tons of famous, powerful individuals in all stretches of the public sphere that actively support Trump and the Republican party.

I have been trying to understand this for a minute and I can't seem to understand why you would use it on a personal workstation.

Like it makes sense for servers, and for deploying accross multiple systems in a corporate or public setting, but beyond that it seems like it is just adding unnecessary steps if you try to use it on your personal rig.

Maybe I'll need to just give in and try it for a week to a month to see the appeal

I think the overall sentiment is removing violence as an option for everyone, cops, citizens, and criminals alike

Guns as a thing in this world inherently create death and loss as a result of their existence, not in spite of it

This is awesome! I don't use the dedicated GPU on my laptop for anything outside light gaming, so I will definitely be switching to this as soon as it is available for Fedora

Pixelfed is really interesting, and this sounds like a fun project!

The only problem major problem I have encountered with trying to use defederated social medias, outside of Lemmy, like it and mastadon has been the lack of discover ability. I guess I don't know how to properly utilize the platforms, but I never find much that is particular to my interests

Because they can as well as being fun and novel to try and beat the game in weird, unintuitive ways? There are challenge runs similar to this* in Minecraft that get super popular all the time.

Similar in a conceptual sense, I've no idea the relative difficulty of these two different games nor the differing challenges offered in playing these way

I use Feeder, which is FOSS and available on F-droid.

I wouldn't advertise on the premise that Windows is a horrible, privacy invasive OS. Even though it's true that would easily be grounds for Windows to claim defamation and pummel the entire thing into the ground with legal fees

Yeah that's why I put it in quotes, it just kept popping up when I searched for distros more inclined towards gaming lol.

Yeah I didn't know about bazzite before going about this whole thing, but I am not going to try gaming on my system until nvk becomes more capable. Even then only light work.

I'm not necessarily a begginer as I have been using Linux for a few years now, but arch is definitely out of my wheelhouse

Something I think is interesting is that, in order for companies to adopt these better non ad reliant models, they would have to dramatically scale down.

In a climate where ad and clicks = revenue, your solution is to scale as large as you can and pump out content to maximize views. But that wouldn't work under normal models

Thank you so much! This fixed it!

I figured that was probably the case. One of the batteries that came with it doesn't match the models it supports. Didn't want to take the whole thing apart without a second opinion though

This is great advice!

More people should turn to linux, absolutely, but it shouldn't be just because it is linux. I think people should look at what they want from their device in particular, look at what is offerred by multiple systems and os', and decide from there that they want to use linux because it does x, y, z best.

That is what made me decide to use linux as more than just a project or afternoon curiosity!

To be fair, if reddit employees are put in any danger by this debacle that will say far more about redditors themselves than spez. Hell it might say enough that he is concerned enough to forewarn employees.

Good, use them for something worthwhile.

It is dystopian really the nature of shuffling hundreds or thousands of people to a building, into a cubicle, in front of a computer for 8 hours a day.

Rebasing is easily one of the coolest features of the atomic suite. I will definitely look into bazzite more in the future, just wish I knew about it before all this lmao

In all fairness, you wouldn't like it just because you liked Morrowind. The games play entirely different from one another and the story of Skyrim is a downgrade by several margins (though some of the sidequests are awesome).

This is coming from someone who has like 200 hours in Skyrim.
