I’ve seen the pourover advice given and referenced unquestioningly: always pre-wet your paper filter. But why? What is the benefit of doing this step?

Hi everyone,...

Hi all. I just got a new Pixel 8. It’s my first Android phone. My work uses Google Workspace but doesn’t use work profiles or manage devices in any way. I’d like to be able to do the following from my phone....

While many great puzzle games have a fixed number of levels, I’d like to find more with procedurally-generated levels to maximize replay value. Aside from Minesweeper games, so far I’ve found the following ones:...

Can Anyone Recommend me Magic/Superhero School or Guild Stories?...

Hi guys! So…I’m trying to run Guitar Hero World Tour (with mods) on my new setup. But, there’s a rather…impairing graphical glitch during the gameplay: All the notes falling down to you are…triplicated, forming a VERTICAL wall of notes coming towards you. It’s…impossible to see what’s coming when. Attaching pic...

Background for myself, I was a viewer when Good Burger was a sketch on “All That,” a children’s sketch comedy show on Nickelodeon in the 90’s. It was basically Saturday night live for kids. They had this heavyset girl who sarcastically read the news like Chevy Chase and shit. It was pretty edgy for nine-year-olds. Good...

I’ve always considered the nature of living to be to grow, to become more – and the nature of dying to be reduced, to become less. Sort of like taking the derivative of what you are, the rate of change…...

I am trying out Fedora for multiple unrelated reasons (use RHEL at work, new config, it might be more optimized) and I noticed a number of concerning caveats, even in mind with the fact that I already use RHEL:...

With the use of Heroic game launcher, I’m wondering if you all preferred to play your GOG version of games over the Steam version. I can go either way but sometimes I pause and think, having two copies of the same game, one on steam and one on GOG, which one would give me a better gaming experience. For example, I may choose...

From homectl:...

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I love watching the ratio go up on my torrents. Is there anything out there that can take a download percentage, seed ratio, etc from qbittorrent and turn it into a live bar graph (or something more artistic)?

Never played any racing sims before and thought to give it a try, I won a pxn v9 set off an auction for $35, but I can’t seem to get it to work, the game I’m trying to play is RaceRoom. I am on Linux mint 21.2...

I currently use Windows 10 and I’d like to try out Linux. My plan is to set up a dual boot with OpenSUSE tumbleweed and KDE Plasma. I’ve read so many different opinions about choosing a distro, compatibility with gaming and Nvidia drivers, and personal issues with the ethos of different companies like Canonical. I value...

I read the trilogy on a whim last week, and just to be sure I followed the basic plot lines since there’s so much stream of consciousness and abstract contradictory personal thoughts going on, I looked at plot summaries after I read each book....

What movie do you want made? If you got a pitch meeting with a producer and a guaranteed green light, what would you say?

It’s possible to inhibit the display turn off in kde using ``kde-inhibit --power --screenSaver ``` However, I want to inhibit the display turning off only when playing media (either by spotify or a browser), and let it sleep as usual when not playing media....

Don’t get me wrong. Hyprland is great. I like it a lot. It looks fresh, it’s easy to configure and the keybindings are super easy to implement, but it’s also very barebones. Most of the functionality expected from a DE come from external software. Be it a top bar, an app launcher, a notification daemon or anything else....

Any way currently to decrypt downloaded pluralsight videos? github.com/dhorseman1710/Decrypt-PluralSight-GUIThis is taken down, and it was not working with the latest version either way.

I have horrible ADHD and need such a thing....

Hi all - I am learning about Linux and want to see if my understanding is correct on this - the list of major parts of any distro:...

As one of many reasons for xenophobia and racism is the dehumanisation of people who are different, Detroit might help racists step in the shoes of marginalised groups and see how most of them are just victims of racist societies, kind of like a self-fulfilling prophecy....

This thread is where all the takes from idiots (looking at you Armchair Warlord) and screenshots of twitter posts/youtube thumbnails go.
