  • How do you lure your kids off iPhones?

  • Never had as bad an experience with Linux as on a Macbook, and that includes Dell laptops in the early '10s. Sound doesn't work, sleep doesn't work either. Beyond that the keyboard is screwed up and double types all the time, which is totally unreasonable on a laptop ~5 years old.

  • YSK: You can block almost all cookie popups with Ublock Origin.

  • Is there anything for all the "subscribe to newsletter" popups on news sites and online stores?

  • PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now

    Jump

  • More than 5 years old includes all the major live service titles at this point, back in the day people would be hopping to whatever new COD/Battlefield just came out, which would lock that metric to 2-3 years max. Since Moore's law is long dead at this point the technology just doesn't improve much year over year, and it's hard to sell a new minor iteration on a game without flashy visual upgrades, the old model just doesn't really make sense anymore.

  • Idk about Amsterdam, but in a lot of places half of a comparable rent might be his whole mortgage, depending on how long he's owned the property.

  • What is everyone using as a HTPC?

    Jump

  • I feel like I did at one point, but I should probably try again

  • Yeah I'm not super surprised... It used to work well when I bought it back in '17 but it's become worse and worse with updates.

  • I'm not a home theater power user, but this is good info to make sure my setup is future proof for when I finally get a new TV. All these different standards get really confusing.

  • systemd is all you need

    Jump

  • This is basically just a way nicer, more flexible cron syntax being dressed up as something ridiculous. There are legitimate reasons for wanting something like this, like running some sort of resource heavy disk optimization the first Friday evening of every month or something.

  • Finally did it, got my parent on linux.

    Jump

  • Yeah this tracks, I don't understand why people recommend Debian so much, especially to new users. Distros that update more regularly like Mint or Fedora (for non nvidia users) are much better options.

  • What's an aspect of life that's currently done privately that you think should be communalized?

    Jump

  • This would be solved if coin op washers locked. You could take the key like in a gym locker room. They'd probably have to charge per cycle + time to keep people from leaving them all day.

  • Google now requires JavaScript

    Jump

  • I've been happy with Qwant lately, they have their own index so using them doesn't support the Google + Bing hegemony. They're also EU based and regulated by the gdpr.

  • People with framework laptops on linux (nixos?) what is your experience with them?

    Jump

  • Is that the case for the AMD boards as well?

  • Not trying to clickbait but is this the end for kernel-level anti-cheat?

    Jump

  • Removing 3rd party kernel access will probably also make cheating harder. Kernel anticheat is necessary largely in part due to cheat software using exploits in the 3rd party extension system to get kernel privileges itself and evade user mode anticheat.

  • best linux terminal emulator

    Jump

  • Image display is an important feature for me. If konsole supported it, I'd just use that. If I'm on a gnome system I'll pretty much always change the terminal because gnome terminal has a lot of issues with font rendering that I find annoying

  • Fedora: GNOME or KDE?

    Jump

  • I used to prefer Gnome before the KDE 6 update due to the rough edges in KDE. After KDE 6 came out I've tried it again, and it's incredible. The team has spent a lot of time on polish for this major release and it allows KDE's suite of more fully featured applications to shine. GNOME apps like gedit, nautilus, and gnome terminal tend to provide the minimum level of functionality, whereas KDE's applications feel like they're trying to work for power users. Kate goes as far as supporting the LSP for code autocompletion. KDE's desktop is much more customizable as well, so you don't really need extensions to get the functionality you'd be looking for in GNOME, stuff like the application launcher are built in. KDE connect is a really useful application you can install on your phone to get file transfers and notification sharing, among other things, between your phone and computer while connect to the same local network. Performance wise they seem pretty equal, even on older hardware, but KDE might have a bit of an edge in terms of RAM usage, YMMV depending on how you customize the desktop. The one thing I miss about GNOME is their "start menu" experience, I haven't found a way to replicate that in KDE, but I haven't looked very hard either. Overall I wouldn't hesitate recommending KDE, plasma 6 makes me actually feel like the Linux desktop is ready for mainstream.

  • Phone numbers are no longer required iirc

  • You can't e2e the to and from headers in an email. that's a problem with the protocol, not with proton. I'd assume the subject line falls into a similar bucket, because mailservers probably want to use it to filter spam

  • Threads deepens its ties to the open social web, aka the ‘fediverse’

    Jump

  • The fediverse could pose a threat to the market dominance of the Facebook platform and instagram, as there are applications that aim to be direct competitors (frendica, plemora, pixelfed) already in the fediverse. If the fediverse grows, there will be no reason for people to stay on Meta's platforms without them reducing advertisement and increasing user privacy, which is obviously not something they want to do.

  • Latest Verge article about their review of Asus ROG Ally X (and this is why gamers are preferring Steam Deck)

    Jump

  • Hopefully articles like this get more companies contributing to steamos/proton
