  • Why Do Sites Keep Shoving Features We Don’t Want Down Our Throats?

    Jump

  • You might be surprised how many people do watch YouTube shorts. They force then on you because they make a lot of money off them.

  • Is anyone else constantly paranoid wearing light coloured clothing because they're afraid of getting stains?

    Jump

  • As if everyone is actually ironing their clothes...

  • [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - March 2025

    Jump

  • I'm playing through Dark Souls 2, and Horizon Zero Dawn. I'm really surprised how well horizon runs, although I'm capping the fps at 30 for a more stable experience. Balatro has also been a big one

  • What are some good reasons to NOT end your own life?

    Jump

  • A lot of life is about perspective. I have a checklist, of things that make life worth it for me. They're gonna vary from person to person, obviously, but when I get super depressed, I go through my checklist in my head. I have cats that depend on me and I value their wellbeing. I have relationships with people I care about and want to see. (and kids I want to see grow up) There's still things I want to learn, places I want to see, and things I want to do. Small things, too, like wanting to see the end of a show or enjoy a favorite food. Life has it's hardships, but it also has a lot of things we get to enjoy - and I want to be strong enough to live through the hardships to enjoy the good things. Idk man it all probably sounds kind of cheesy, but watching the sunset brings me a lot of joy. Life doesn't have to be perfect to be worth living.

  • Linux is not ready

    Jump

  • Installing Linux on top of a Windows install is a non-issue, the other way around can be a problem. I've been dual booting for years without problems. I keep mine on separate drives, though.

  • What's the purpose of Loops?

    Jump

  • I don't use loops, but I used tiktok for a long time and short form video isn't bad. You get some pointless/garbage stuff, but it can totally be great for sharing information, or memes. The point is whatever users want it to be.

  • PC Games to Play with my Five-Year-Old

    Jump

  • My friend's daughter was very into goat simulator on my computer, it's a sandbox and you can't lose. We'd hear her cackling from the other room as she ran into traffic or tried to climb a roller coaster or something. I'd have to start the game and get her into the world, but from there she loved it.

  • Trump signs order to bar trans women and girls from female sports | LGBTQ News

    Jump

  • No, but also, inclusion of trans people is more important than removing anyone that could potentially have an advantage. Lots of athletes that are very good at their sports have genetic advantages in one way or another.

  • Newbie Post: I have gone "all-in" with Linux Mint 22.1, wiping Windows completely. All good...with two nagging problems.

    Jump

  • That's very fair. I say this only because I've found myself going down a rabbit hole of things not working on my own before, and a reinstall is usually the faster option for me. POP was just one example, a lot of distributions come with Nvidia installed by default. Mint should work pretty much out of the box, but I remember Optimus being tricky sometimes. I do not recommend Manjaro, and not because it's arch. The last time I used Manjaro, it's automatic updater updated my Nvidia driver and my kernel to two separate versions that didn't work with each other, and bricked my system on me. It's not exceptionally stable even as far as Arch goes. Arch doesn't have to be scary, I use Garuda and it has made it very user friendly. I run all updates with one command and that command automatically makes snapper backups that I can pick between on boot, which makes fixing anything that can go wrong pretty easy. Garuda Cinnamon edition uses the same desktop that mint uses. Anyway, I do hope you're able to get mint working for you.

    Jump

  • Sometimes, the simplest option is to try a different distribution instead of messing with individual things that aren't working on one. A lot of distributions come with the Nvidia drivers set up by default, such as POP OS. You could also try a fresh install of mint and install the Nvidia drivers using the driver manager application, and see if you're getting the same results. As far as NTFS, that does have to change. You will keep running into problems if you don't format them into something like ext4. When I first installed Linux, I had all my games on an NTFS drive and very few of them would work at all.

  • How are you actually doing today?

    Jump

  • My lease ends today and I've had two apartments reject my application. So I'm going to be sleeping in my car with my cats tonight. It's all pretty surreal. It really can happen to anyone.

  • people woho regularly go to fast food chains like Burger king - why?

    Jump

  • You get tired of eating microwave meals, and anything that leaves dishes I have to clean later is certainly not easier than going to fast food

  • people woho regularly go to fast food chains like Burger king - why?

    Jump

  • Lack of time, lack of energy, or both. Cooking is exhausting and difficult when you're already tired from working.

  • Those who live outside of the US, what's something Americans aren't ready to hear?

    Jump

  • I cannot believe this post is getting upvotes. There's certainly advantages to living in the US, and people do move here seeking a better life. Neither of those statements make this country "great". It's "great" for a very particular demographic of people, white men - especially wealthy white men. If you're any racial minority, or are queer, police violence is very common. If you have a uterus, your reproductive rights are being targeted. Our health care system in general is completely broken and doesn't take care of people. Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck barely getting by, while our politicians squabble over trans people using restrooms to keep us distracted and hostile to one another. I'd like to know what "freedoms" we have that the rest of the world doesn't. There are certainly a lot of places worse than this - but that doesn't make the US an even remotely good place to live. It's work for the corporate overlords, or die, for most of us - whether we recognize it or not. If you can't work because of a disability? Well, you're pretty screwed.

  • Should people under the age of 16 be banned from video games? Why or why not?

    Jump

  • I don't think it's the responsibility of the state to tell us what recreational activities we can participate in, honestly. Making sure the content is appropriate and time spent is appropriate is the parent/guardian's responsibility.

  • What gives you hope to keep going?

    Jump

  • Look, If I'm going down, I'm going down kicking and screaming.

  • Why people consistently vote against their own interests to benefit the rich?

    Jump

  • I think that it depends on the person. I've heard of enough people who voted for Donald because they like that he "says it like it is", or "he's a businessman", or because they just want lower taxes. Some people are so exposed to rage-bait social media/news content and are always being told what to be afraid of and they vote emotionally based on that fear. My grandfather votes the way he does because he's TERRIFIED of immigrants, even legal ones - because all he does is sit and watch fox news. I think most often, people are busy with their lives, paying their bills, taking care of their kids, etc. and don't have a lot of energy left over for politics. People treat voting like it's team sports. A ton of people voted for Donald because they thought tariffs were paid by the other country, not American businesses. I don't exactly blame people, it's a lot of information and life is probably a lot more relaxed for people that don't follow it.

  • I keep hearing that the Democratic Party should've paid more attention to the young white American demographic. Does this mean there was a point to the "All lives matter." movement?

    Jump

  • I think that there's not just one reason we can list as why she lost. It's complicated. The young white male demographic specifically, voted primarily Republican - which makes sense given that they're being marketed to by republicans (think people like Joe Rogan, Andrew Tate, people like that). I almost didn't vote for her over Gaza - and I'm sure a lot of people didn't vote over Gaza. In regards to "All Lives Matter", I don't think so. I never got the impression that that "movement" was really about saying "Not just black people matter!", it was about being an opposing statement to the BLM movement. The words "Black Lives Matter" do not say that other people don't matter - and the movement is about police violence against black people. "All Lives Matter" was made to deny the recognition that this racial violence happens. I've seen it used a lot to defend police (and let's be honest it has ties to the whole "Blue Lives Matter" thing).
