the HDR by my understanding is basically just automatic conversion, not actually support for programs to use HDR on their own. I’ve been using gamescope to run games in native HDR.

I mean, archinstall is pretty nice! it’s certainly not flashy but it’s a great tool that gets you up and running very quickly with no hassle

very few students are interested in what and how they’re learning

the app is the piece of junk for taking so long to load on an incomprehensibly fast processor

I feel like this is the crux of it. do they think we WANT to be glued to our screens? social hubs are dead or dying, wrung out for profit. people have less time than ever, having to work and spread themselves thin just to stay afloat. mental healthcare is inaccessible to huge swathes of the population and our parents who can afford it refuse it. outside is a car dependent hellscape with increasingly unpleasant weather and increasingly agitated people. as a neurodivergent person it feels impossible to navigate. the phones don’t exactly help, but they’re certainly not the root of the issue. everybody on social media at this point is well aware of the drawbacks.

I use it less, which is better for my mental health. I still find there are similarly depressing posts and attitudes here. People are nicer, but the breadth of topics is far more limited. I won’t go back to reddit, but lemmy definitely doesn’t hold a candle to the number of communities they have. I’ve been using Tumblr as well and quite enjoying that.

the best take. as with everything, there is no one size fits all solution

we live under capitalism.

that’s a great idea!

one of my favorite things about helix is how easily you can check the keybinds for certain actions - just space-? and then you can see a list of every command available (by description) and their keybinds, if they have one

you mean all the people who said they weren’t coming back even after the obvious rollback of the policy aren’t coming back? 😱

computer, make me a sandwich

going vegan doesn’t help animals much either. we live in an overproductive society that wastes most of what it produces anyways - even if your personal choice marginally reduces demand, the abuse is ongoing. we need systemic solutions. we need to destroy the meat industry. veganism will never be popular enough to create systemic change on its own.

solves nothing. you eliminate a negligible amount of carbon emissions. focusing on our individual impact is a waste of time when there are companies and their leaders doing orders of magnitude more damage.

you can’t be 100% sure about a relationship until you try it. it might work out, it might not. age is not going to be an obvious problem upfront if she seems mature. you just have to accept that you’re taking a risk.

automate your life’s menial tasks

steam deck is helping a lot on that front.

safety and efficiency will be improved by investment in nuclear. storage needs are dramatically reduced because we now have reactors that can run off of the waste of other reactors, “recycling” it and massively improving efficiency while reducing waste. yes, there are concerns with nuclear, but opposing nuclear is a losing battle. we need nuclear, and yes, the tech needs to develop further, but we won’t get that without investing in it today.

toilet paper mafia.
