Can someone share some insight with us non Americans, how close are you to a civil war? Between the LA protests and this it seems very imminent

According to Meta it runs on their private servers

And then all the history books will be “Trump History” so that everyone can finally learn the history as Trump sees it

At that point you might as well not have a kernel level anti cheat and companies who insist on kernel level anti cheat will block wine. The only solutions I see are

1. Developers mainly use server side anti cheat
2. They make native Linux games
3. Distros provide a way to ensure a untainted (signed) kernel

1. Alt account is probably the way to go
2. A commonly used image host is blocked in a bunch of countries (https://files.catbox.moe/) check if you can open this site
3. They are separate communities, kinda like politics and politics2 on Reddit. They don’t aggregate jet but that option is WIP. My tip is go with communities not on Lemmy.ml and hexbear.net due to some questionable moderation in a bunch of communities on those

I’d like to know if this is just a firmware update or unfixable, but sadly this seems just an ad rather than news

Email client or provider? For client I’d go with thunderbird for provider mailbox.org or Tuta, or maybe proton (but mainly the first two).

As the other comment mentioned, this isn’t the community, I’d check out !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com (asklemmy also may not be the right community, it’s explicitly not a support community)

While it is a bit less straightforward, you can just add the specific instance as a guest and then browse local

I think the main problem is they don’t want to maintain multiple accounts

Yes, it was made without any Unix code

If you start the demo mode there will be no changes to disk until you open the installer for both distros. Most distros will boot into the demo mode directly from the USB and then have a shortcut to start installing. Once you have created a bootable USB it will work with any device so you can test the distros out now with your current machined and when you get the new one you can just plug it in there and see if there are any hardware specific issues

The difference between NVIDIA and AMD/Intel is that Linux has a different way of handling drivers compared to windows (all drivers are part of the Kernel). AMD/Intel respect this. NVIDIA develop there drivers like on windows even though Linux is not designed this way. Also sometimes a new standard is made (eg Wayland) but NVIDIA has little to no support for a long time. Additionally there drivers are proprietary which limits how distros can/want to ship them.

Generally, Linuxmint is the go to distro if you want something that holds your hand, but due to your limited needs outside of gaming and already having a Steam deck you should take a look at Bazzite, which is basically the desktop mode of the Steam deck for PCs.

As for hardware, one thing that can be annoying is NVIDIA (drivers), but that shouldn’t be a major problem with these distros as mint has a built in manager that does everything for you and with Bazzite you just need to specify your GPU when downloading and don’t have to do anything.

My recommendation is download the distros you want to try, get Rufus put them on a USB and then play around with them in demo mode, make sure everything works (graphic card, printers) and if you like the distro then start the installer. If you don’t like it you can just unplug the USB and reboot without anything persisting.

AFAIK it used to exist but was removed to avoid recreating stuff like karma farming and minimum karma limits. But it would be pretty easy to make a bash script that manually calculates the karma score

I’m a bit confused. Looking at the App Store Sink it appears to only be for Reddit/Twitter and not Lemmy or am I missing something?

I think Wikipedia is a could we to judge a country. As soon as the government tries to fuck with Wikipedia they are 100% assholes and anyone who is not also an asshole should not support/vote for them.

Apparently not:

“I have had plenty of people message me and even make issues on my GitHub asking for some insane crazy WikiTok algorithm,” Gemal told Ars. “And I had to put my foot down and say something along the lines that we’re already ruled by ruthless, opaque algorithms in our everyday life; why can’t we just have one little corner in the world without them?”

Depending on how lightweight you need I’d either use Linux Mint XFCE, which would be slightly less lightweight but very easy and well documented or AntiX which as lightweight as it gets but may require a bit more getting used to

One feature I’d like to have is the option (maybe a setting) to recover text when commenting and then pressing as sometimes I reply to a comment and then want to read the original post again.

Thanks for making this app, it has been the Lemmy app I’ve tried by far
