Was it mods or self deleted?

I’ve installed gentoo but there seems like there’s so many sacrifices. I love that it’s all open source, but I really don’t mind closed source software now and then, because after all I would be using it to play closed source games. The biggest compromise I’ve observed is the very long build times. I have a lukewarm...

So I heard that the zenbook 13/14 don’t have any audio on linux, but then I found some reddit comment saying that a kernel update fixed it. Anyone here who uses one and can confirm that?

I always see this on job applications for IT and such. I’m wondering, how do you stay up to date?

Is there a good way to roll back the nvidia driver to an older version? I need 470 for my vr headset, as newer versions seem to disable video output to the headset. I have tried some logical stuff like sudo apt remove --purge nvidia-driver and also some more radical stuff like sudo apt remove --purge “^nvidia-*” but that...

My dear lemmings,...

Welp, it’s finally happened. Windows 10 has become so bloated, slow, and spooky that I finally have decided to bite the bullet and set up a VM on my linux Mint partition. Do you have any suggestions for a virtual machine? My PC is a relatively basic mid-range business laptop, 8gb of ram, no GPU, only a few years old. I’m a...

I have noticed that some CAPTCHA pages, like Cloudflare’s, simply ask you to check a box to proceed. There is no clicking on traffic lights or entering characters. How does clicking on a check box tell them I am not a robot?

If I do a factory reset on my phone that has GrapheneOS on it, will that revert it to the stock android that it originally came with or to a “fresh” clean, brand new GrapheneOS? I found conflicting information about this online . . . 🤔

I saw people going on about how great BG3 is on this site, so I thought I’d check out a let’s play to see what all the fuss was about. I immediately fell in love with the graphics and the mechanics, such as the classes, races, spells, dice etc, but I disliked the emphasis on gore/horror in the game, and I know I wouldn’t...

I have bought a radeon RX 6800 recently to avoid dealing with NVIDIA headaches (especially since i daily drive hyprland) and so far it has been going pretty good. But i heard that raytracing still performs way lower then on windows which would be very bothering since i really like raytracing in games. Can anyone enlighten me if...

My girlfriend has never really gamed. But she’s now forced to move less than she would like to (health problem) and she’s getting bored. I was thinking of introducing her to a game or two that we could play together. She’s not the real action game type, and seeing as she has no experience with controller/mouse and keyboard...

I have two computers with Windows 10. Preferably the simplest option, so that at the other end people with minimal IT competence can figure it out

I don’t just say that because I’m some jingoist hirka dirka, but I have first-hand experience with both. StimDate is much better than Novartis’ Ritalin. I am a recreational user of Ritalin (I’m bipolar and been to the nuthouse twice over it, so Ritalin is not what I should be taking but I my medication makes me so tired)...

There’s a cool government program that trains and gets people jobs. They give people Housing, Basic Medical Care, Meals, Books, an Allowance, Clothing, and a Network of instructors and peers....

What’s the point of what they’re doing? What are they trying to achieve? Does it really work?

Attended the Dalton, Georgia hamfest today! Anyone else? Snag any great deals?...

For those, who do not know what the Gemini protocol is, think of it as a modern, light-weight HTTP alternative without CSS or JavaScript. In layman term, you could see it as Web 1.0 reinvented. It uses GemText instead of HTML. For folks who want to try it out, you can either install a Gemini extension for your HTTPs browser...

I want to share a song that I really like from the 50s black-and-white Bollywood era, something that I hum almost all the time. It happens to be a dream sequence + musical style of artwork....
