I’ve got a new 7840HS laptop, and have noticed some stability issues with games on Steam under Proton that run fine on my desktop with a 5700xt. I know the 7840 line is pretty new and not a lot out in the world yet, but has anyone noticed similar issues?

Edit: So after an exciting evening of uninstalling drivers, rebooting, playing a round of CSGO and starting over, I can report that nothing is broken. I haven’t tried much other than a handful of games though. In the end I removed the drivers in batches, uninstalling all versions of a major version together (all 515., then...

Seeing a big “politics” community in both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world just confuses me as to which I should be subscribing to and I don’t really want to subscribe to both....

Since Lemmy and Threads are federated, how can I see Threads content? Also, is there a list of federated instances? Thanks!

I like to follow articles benchmarking OSs on phoronix a lot. Whenever Arch looks bad I see comments riddled with saying that is because the default scheduler sucks. I feel fairly compitent with Linux but for some reason schedulers seemed like this black box that lives in the realm of places where I normally break my OS from not...

I love lamb, but I don’t think I do it justice. Typically, I just sear it in a pan like you would with a steak. Are there any good recipes or go-to tricks for cooking lamb shoulder chops? Please let me know.

I am trying to find a series of text books that can be used to teach English. I don’t mind paying for them, but I can’t find a way to purchase them in my country....

How close are we to games with open worlds that have no loading screens? I just imagine how seamless and great it would feel if you could enter a shrine in TOTK with no loading.

I’ve read that threads is using ActivityPub but what does that mean exactly?...

Bandit is one of my ferrets, and she enjoys walks. I’m sure most people haven’t seen a ferret walking on a leash before. 🥰

Hello everyone,...

I have seen some users commenting on Lemmy using a Mastodon account. I tried to login Lemmy using my Mastodon account (on the web) and it didn’t work, like account not found, maybe it tries to locate the Lemmy instance account....

Is it possible/practical to host multiple websites from the same VPS server?...

I watch a fair amount of series, but I’m not a data hoarder. I see the value in 2GB episodes, but I watch most series on my laptop, my simple 1920x1080 tv or even my phone where that value doesn’t make a difference. If I want to have a theater experience, I’ll go to the theater....

I have a pi zero laying around and I have no use for it as of now. I was wondering if I could host a matrix server on it, I worry it might just not be powerful enough as the title would imply.

Right now, if I want to hide a post, I do one of two things: I either upvote the post (because I feel guilty downvoting just for hiding it) or click on the comments, forcing loading more data, even if I don’t care for the comments of a meme picture, for instance....

Not labeling and dynamically changing the price of games sucks the fun out of buying. And just makes me want to buy online. Grumpy grump grump.

Hello! I recently set up a small instance running on pleroma which was my first time setting up something like that. I’m currently thinking about abandoning it, wiping the computer, and doing everything over again, this time with all of the knowledge I have now so Ill mess less things up, a dramatically better site name, as...

They seems to really embrace open social media. I have a couple of questions to see what their true intension is. It is assumed that they would federate with fediverse soon (plenty of reports of that already)...

Is there a quick way to see what instances are federated with each other? I know for a while (and maybe still are) beehaw and Lemmy.ml defederated from Lemmy.world. Are they still defederated? Is it worthwhile to post on their communities if those users won’t see it?
