(she/they)

Hi! You can call me Tadpole. I enjoy maps/geography, sci-fi and speculative fiction, classic and sports cars and motorsports, and retro and retrofuturistic technology from the 70s-90s. Also a racing, role-playing, indie and retro video game connossieur.

I am a certified lurker.

  • My /var/tmp folder is endlessly stacking up on "container_images_storage_xxxxxxxxxx" folders?

    Jump

  • Does all this also apply to distrobox? I don't use podman, but I do use distrobox, which I think is a front-end for it, but I don't know if the commands listed here would be the same.

  • Don't dare to question Gnome

    Jump

  • How does Bazzite differ from Kinoite? I use the latter but have been hearing about the former for a while now, and was curious what exactly sets it apart from what I use and what benefits I'd have switching to it.

  • Cops are gutless cowards who can only punch down on people who can't fight back; as soon as they meet someone who poses even a slight threat they cower away.

  • Nintendo pursuing Yuzu Forks on Github

    Jump

  • I just hope the Citra forks won't be targeted. Citra was only killed as collateral damage, but I still can't help but be nervous anyway...

  • Did Fedora 40 break something for you?

    Jump

  • I have had a LOT of issues, but they're mostly of the papercut variety - and most of them have to do with Plasma 6 rather than Fedora 40 itself (at least I think so).

    I think my CPU is running hotter on 40 than it was on 39, though.

  • Good night's sleep rule

    Jump

  • I hate the heat so much.

  • Pls pls pls....

  • Reading these comments is making me sweat nervously because I made an 80s-themed submod for a racing game with era-appropriate metal music, and it seems that a decent chunk of the bands I chose for the soundtrack turned out to be fascist or fascist-sympathizing 😓

  • Yes

    Jump

  • Yeah. My country used to be a capitalist dictatorship in the 60s-80s and it very, very much kept people who disliked it from escaping it, and then tortured them for being "unpatriotic". And as ICastFist mentioned, there are several other capitalist and even "democratic" countries out there that very much build walls to keep people from leaving, too.

    I initially assumed this meme was criticizing capitalism due to pointing out how the rich plunder and oppress the poor (i.e. the US with Latin America, and Europe with Africa and the Middle East), then hoard the profits for themselves while propping up walls to prevent anyone from the places they exploited from getting to also share and experience their wealth and safety nets (i.e. America's border wall with Mexico, and Europe sinking refugee boats while fanning fascism to pin economic issues on the migrants rather than the capitalists themselves), but reading the OP's replies it seems the meme was actually made in defense of capitalism...?

    Honestly, between this and the "you'd be morally obligated to vote for 99% Hitler" nonsense, neoliberals seem to be really, really bad at defending their own ideology, lol

  • Enshittification Continues: Discord to begin showing advertisements on it's free platform

  • I miss MSN Messenger... it was part of my childhood.

  • Report – Unsafe: Meta Fails to Moderate Extreme Anti-trans Hate Across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads | GLAAD - might be a reason to defederate from Threads

  • Are there any CPUs that work well with Linux that aren't made by Intel or another company on the BDS list/that supports Israel?

    Jump

  • Can confirm (but mine is the regular trim rather than the X version).

  • Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you?

    Jump

  • Yes, for over a year now (since early December 2022, don't remember the exact date).

    My experiences with it seem to constantly be different than that of most users, because Wayland was a direct upgrade for me - I couldn't play games properly on X11 at all because they would stutter and freeze really badly even when Vsync was disabled and the game reported to be running at 60 FPS, but Wayland fixed the issue altogether for me.

    ...Granted, I'm on an AMD card. If I was on Nvidia it'd probably be another story entirely. :x

  • why waste time sleeping when you could waste it paying for your CEO's lambo

    Jump

  • It's another "don't create the Torment Nexus" situation again...

  • I'm very glad I'm not the only one here to have thought this 😅

    am I reading this right, that my cpu just died?

    Jump

  • For what it's worth, I've had Linux spew similar CLI errors when booting up complaining about a critical CPU problem, when the problem actually was that it was reading data off of a dying hard-drive. (Removing said drive, as well as replacing it with a new, healthier drive, made the issue go away.)

    Not saying your problem is actually a dying storage device, but that it's possible the issue might not actually be your CPU itself.

  • What does your desktop look like?

    Jump

  • Crud, I had no idea. I thought they'd still work on 6 :c

  • What does your desktop look like?

    Jump

  • I haven't, Fedora will only get Plasma 6 on April. :c

    What happened to the clock widget?? I really like it and don't want to lose it...

  • What does your desktop look like?

    Jump

  • I'm basic...

    Fedora Kinoite, Plasma desktop, Arc shell theme, and Catppuccin window/app theme.

    I included more information about my setup on my Codeberg page.
