My laptop's touchpad is emitting joystick events
Using my touchpad seems to act as if it’s a joystick - If I touch the edges it acts like I’ve pulled the joystick to the far edge of its movement, etc. sort of like how a steam controller’s touchpads work when emulating a joystick. However, it also just acts like regular mouse input so it’s only noticeable in games that...
Moving to Arch/EndeavorOS from PopOS?
I’ve been using PopOS for a few months now, and I’m interested in Arch, but I’m worried about whether or not I have enough experience to do that successfully. Also, I have an Nvidia GPU until I start a new build in the next year or so. I don’t know if that’ll be a problem in Arch. It was a major issue with Fedora for...

What's up with "whinging"?
I have noticed lately that a lot of users on Lemmy spell whining as “whinging” what’s up with that? I could understand if it was misspelled “wining” or somthing but that extra g really confuses me. Is this a misspelling specific for some region or is it lingo of some sort?

On demand sports streaming?
In the UK, the broadcasting rights for tennis are moving from Amazon prime/discovery+ to sky-sports. The price is increasing from ~£6 a month to ~£35 p/m. I know there’s plenty of live streaming sites available to watch live matches, but when the tournaments are in the US or Australia the time difference doesn’t work. Are...
Do you find the description Live Service Game off-putting?
Over the years, there’ve been various red flags in gaming, for me at least. Multi-media. Full-Motion Video. Day-One DLC. Microtransactions. The latest one is Live Service Game. I find the idea repulsive because it immediately tells me this is an online-required affair, even if it doesn’t warrant it. There’s no reason for...

I'm sorry but Very Short Treks is horrible
I don’t know who greenlit this supposed celebration of TAS, but the writing is cheap, lowbrow and cringey. It’s a total shame that the amazing animation and sound design are paired with this quality of writing. None of the three eps released so far impressed me....
iPod management software for linux?
Is there any decent iPod management software for linux available? I have a 6th generation iPod that I use only for music and it’s really the last thing that I keep my windows partition around for. The more I use linux, the more unintuitive iTunes feels. I had tried GTKPod in the past and one other, but they didn’t support...
So why is 3 nm chip better?
Ok I think I do know the answer but I never learned it, so I want to learn it today. It’s been about 1 year now we can reliably make 3nm chips, which is impressive on a scale of size. But why is is better? My theory is simply: We can make a product the same size but add more on it because it’s smaller, making it stronger and...
Access Remmina Remotely
Hello selfhosters. I have a Linux VM spun up on my server that I access via Remmina. Would it be ok for me to expose Remmina for external access? It would be behind a reverse proxy as well as Authelia 2FA of course. Is that secure “enough”, just for a VM?
What is something you just learned, that you should have known for a while?
Has Anyone Heard About This?
So I’m scrolling through All New and on these memes I’m seeing comments saying stuff like “I see xyz company advertising on Lemmy” even though there’s little to no brand indication on the post. (Other that some kind of German meat + beans, but even then no brand came to mind for me)...

Dead Leaves (2004) animated film is gnarly and fun!
Anyone here happen to remember this, or watch it recently? I was browsing about trying to decide what to watch and its art style caught my eye. No clue who was behind it or what was up with it, and finally got around to watching it, and it was absolutely worth it!...
