Who says "...maxing" nowadays?
I have read people write and heard people say words like “jobmaxing”, “hobbymaxing” and stuff like that. I guess I understand what these words mean, but I am confused as to where the “…maxing” thing comes from....
Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that?
I’m just a regular person making about $70K a year in a big city, and I’ve recently felt incredibly powerless dealing with private companies. For instance, my landlord’s auto-pay system had a glitch that excluded my pet rent and water bill. I ended up with over $1,000 in late fees. Despite hours on the phone, it turns out...

Steam stuck on logging in for anyone else?
Having a unique issue where steam is not logging in for me. Its stuck on the logging pop up and stays like that. Is anybody else having this issue? I’m on Ubuntu, it was just working about 10 hours ago. I made and reverted a change thinking that’s what caused it but that doesn’t seem to be the case....
What are some good games with really awesome stories?
(With a Linux version or at least works good with Proton) Edit: just bought disco Elysium, going to post updates in the comments when I try it tomorrow. It’s on sale until tomorrow in case anyone is going to purchase it.

Help me with QubeOS (as beginner)
Hello, I’m beginner to QubeOS and I don’t know really how to use it properly. I’m not really an absolute beginner in Linux (running it since 2 years), but I’ve never tried it and these I wanna try so installed it 2 days ago. At first it’s very good, not laggy, etc… It’s what I want! But today I want to really set...

Is WattOS open source?
I’m incredibly close to pulling the trigger to make WattOS my new distro for my netbook. I’ve been using antiX for a while and it’s really great overall but the lack of systemd has worn me down I feel. A few programs I want to use just don’t work properly without systemd and I don’t have the patience to fill in the...

Triple Buffering pushed to Gnome 48
Retargeted triple buffering to GNOME 48 instead of trying to upstream it in 47 at the last minute. Actually upstream wants it in 47 more than we do. But recent code reviews are both too numerous to resolve quickly and too destabilizing if implemented fully. So I’m not going to do that so close to release. There are still no...

What’s the Autism Vibe and Crazy Monkey Business Here?
Hey, you wild deaf monkeys at Lemmy. I’ve just wandered into this crazy jungle, and I’ve got to ask, are we all rocking the same type of autism here, or is this place a mixed bag of spectrum madness? But here’s the real deal. What’s that one messed-up, Ebola-level, turtle-paced, or dead-19-year-old-turkey quirk that...
Interesting to see how dead the MMORPG genre has become. Are there still players around?
Mostly referring to the release of the latest WoW extension which isn’t discussed anywhere (or maybe I missed it)

How is Open Source project work paid?
Forgive me but this part of the open source and foss confuses me. If you code and release an open source and free piece of software like say, a robust video player such as VLC, how is that dev being paid?...
