Why would he lie on the internet though?

Just wait a few days till some people overreact to something and call for defederating an entire instance due to it

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Base_Directory#Support, the situation is crap tbh and alot of devs refuse to even give you the option of switching to XDG standards for some reason. I started using flatpaks for most of my programs just to escape this.

I do know XDG standards are messy for devs to implement but at least have everything in .config or .local instead of spewing it across my home folder

I noticed this as well a few months ago and it did change the monitor brightness for real, but now it broke on my system and wont do it anymore

Oh man i was thinking of getting one of these to replace my raspberry pi

Theres also NewPipe its free and open source

Fdroid takes a few days generally because they build everything themselves.

The spoiler tag doesnt work on jerboa btw just sayinh

I installed NixOS on a laptop and tried to run a steam game and it just straight up didn't launch anything, went to the wiki to figure out the amd drivers, opengl whatever put like 10 new lines in my nix config rebuilt restarted still nothing works, after about 2 hours i just swapped back to arch and the games launched straight away, so for me it wasnt as easy as you may claim it to be. I also tried it on my desktop before and it was a better experience, but still not great. The nix config file is a bit of a mess of options that you have to dig into wiki pages and searching stuff to figure out how to get some stuff to work

What does this actually mean for users?, Just less X dependencies? or anything practical

Yeah you can can choose a language profile and download movies/tv whichever language you want

think they meant to say decentralized

Ive never used it but maybe this will work out for you? https://github.com/mtkennerly/ludusavi/, says its built in with Rclone so you can sync to whatever cloud you want

Damn, im reading the comments and its pretty funny. Those guys are mad, they could always just make their own federated hellhole, or i guess stick with 4chan

Keep it simple, Ubuntu/Mint/PopOS, play around with it for at least a few months before trying an arch install

I had an rx480 that worked fantasic until a firmware update made it start freezing my pc in games after suspend, solution was to rollback that package to an older one or never use suspend. I currently have a 6650xt and that just crashes whenever it wants to sometimes, works fine for a few months then decides to freeze my whole pc, playing bg3 atm it froze on me like 3 times already

Yeah theres no way lemmy instances that were struggling to scale 2 weeks ago with a few thousand users active are supporting 2.5mill suddenly

Say to it

This statement is false

There is one but you gotta manually apply it atm and it doesnt work on the android app at least. if you link to "/c/community@instance.com" and have it as a hyperlink it will go to that community from your instance. Thats what the person you replied to did, if you check their comments source

Think its related to new comments, someone posted about it a few days ago. comments under 10 mins

Revolt and Matrix/Element

Do you have 32 bit mangohud installed as well?

Destroy reddit speedrun any% [WORLD RECORD]

Yeah the desktop site especially is why i wanted to leave reddit for the past few months, im happy they shot themselves in the foot the past week so we could move over to a different platform. I kept having to switch back to old.reddit just to see a NSFW post without an account, they made it so you cant even sort comments anymore without being logged in recently. Just malicious design. The website on mobile has been shit for years now asking you to USE THE MOBILE APP.

I use gocryptfs, i like having both CLI for scripts and its got GUI built into KDE Plasma's Vault feature

It does matter where your account is because instances will not federate communities until someone from that instance subscribes to that community, and then it only pulls 20 posts and no comments. It will then start pulling everything new thats being posted/commented on that community, but anything before that is basically gone. This means that if you join a new/low userbase instance you will be missing a lot of stuff that was posted, while the larger instances will have way more people subscribed to communities before you even joined therefore having a larger content pool

Im not sure what kbins boost does or if theyre even the same as lemmy regarding this problem.

You could forcefully pull posts and comments into your instance by copying their original link and pasting it into your instances search, it will then federate to your instance after a few seconds but doing that for every post and comment would be stupid unless the admins cam somehow automate it

Ok, i get it now. Its not fake but rather not accurate. I thought this post meant the loading bars were just made to look like they were doing something, but i do get that sometimes the bar gets stuck on 50% for a while and rushes to 100%. it still is showing the loading % just not accurately

My rx 480 worked way better in terms of not crashing, it did have graphical glitches in games but i guessed thats down to using Wine. Im also using Arch so maybe that in combination with the 6650 is making it more unstable, i gotta revert to using LTS kernel every few months to stop my system crashing randomly

I dont have the error message atm unfortunately cause to have more disk space i set my system to delete the logs quite often (ill probably revert this now as ive got way more space), but the one part i do have is this "GCVM_L2_PROTECTION_FAULT_STATUS" , thats 95% of the times the error that shows up whenever my pc freezes

I looked it up and theres a bunch of mesa bugtracker issues listing the same error but honestly gpu driver stuff is so complex who knows whats really going on. baldurs gate 3 has crashed my whole system 3 times in 20-30 hours played, but except for that this past month ive also started getting blackscreens waking up from suspend sometimes on the non LTS kernel, luckily LTS fixes that for now, but not baldurs gate. The past year i've had this gpu theres been like 5 times where an update made the amd drivers unstable and ive had to change back to the LTS kernel to resolve it, maybe thats cause im using arch and stuff is more bleeding edge, but i havent had this many issues on my rx 480

Pull out the computers power cord

One thing i do know is after finishing everything, you wanna backup your LUKS headers incase something gets corrupted so you wont lose your data, make sure its safe outside of the encrypted drive somewhere. "sudo cryptsetup luksHeaderBackup /dev/drive_name --header-backup-file /destination/"

Don't know any other downsides, but you will require entering your password 2 times if i'm not mistaken. Now if you wanna try to avoid entering your password twice. This is a bit more complex but not super hard to try, depends on how technical you are and what distro you use, ArchWiki claims if you use the sd-encrypt hook it will cache your first password and use it for the other drive.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/System_configuration#Using_systemd-cryptsetup-generator

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mkinitcpio#Common_hooks

I believe if you do swap to the sd-encrypt hook you gotta swap all the other hooks over to the systemd ones too but not 100% sure, but that's what i ended up doing. Also would need to use the "rd.luks" boot options instead of the "cryptdevice="

I had KDE on Arch installed on a laptop (gave to my mom, now swapped to windows 10) and didnt know why it was happening and it was like 2 years ago. now i installed KDE on my desktop a few months ago and had the same issue, ended up finding the bug being sddm and swapped to sddm-git, i cant believe they just let this bug run around for years without pushing an update till now

Jellyseer is great even though im the only one using it in my house, the ui is much nicer than radarr/sonarrs for downloading and seeing trending films and tv

Yeah this bug is annoying i swapped to sddm-git just to fix it, although the ctrl-alt-f1 never worked on my end, ive tried multiple times

neofetch is the programs name

Wish i had 15 up, im getting 40 down 3 up. They started putting fiber down my street but not active yet, cant wait to go to 1 gig

We used to have that, but we moved to a more plastic feel type money like 6 years ago

Is your entire system crashing?, for me i have to do a hard reboot once it happens. if it gets too bad i can always play the game in a windows VM as im playing with a friend and crashing all the time would be annoying
