  • Is the BraX3 from braxtech.net a trustworthy investment?

  • If his primary credential is "YouTube content creator," that's probably a hard pass.

  • How wil people react if Trump is right about Tariffs?

    Jump

  • He is not.

    A tariff is a tax that increases the price of imported goods.

    Tariffs are used to push people toward domestic alternatives to imported goods.

    However, today, there are no domestic alternatives to most important goods.

    So, all it's doing is increasing the burden on the average person.

    Companies are not going to invest in domestic production. They are going to spend that money lobbying to have tarriffs removed. Because guess what? Once tariffs go away, consumer prices are not going to go back to what they used to be. Instead, megacorps are going to pocket the difference as profit.

  • am i insane? is this common with women who just have hormonal problems?

    Jump

  • That does sound like potential bipolar disorder.

    Either way, there are medications that should be able to help with your symptoms.

    Good luck!

  • It's not true that you can't be given a diagnosis.

    It's good that you'll be speaking to a psychiatrist, because those could be signs of certain disorders. For example, you could have bipolar disorder.

  • Does Dove hold a copyright on the shape of their soap?

    Jump

  • A shape can not be copywrited. Copyright is for written, filmed, or musical work, as well at its derivatives.

    Shapes can be trademarked, but an oval is not trademarkable because it is a very generic shape.

    Why isn't more soap oval? Economics. It's far more expensive to mold mass-market soap in round shapes. It's dramatically cheaper to make it square.

    Dove is marketed as a luxury product, so they can charge more and recover the extra cost of production.

  • What exercises should i do at the gym to correct winged scapula and rounded shoulders?

    Jump

  • In addition to exercises, remember to focus on your posture when sitting, standing, and walking. Stronger muscles won't help if your posture is still bad.

  • Help me like desktop linux

  • I've been "Linux-adjacent" for years, and recently switched my main gaming computer over to it. And I've seen exactly those frustrations so many times.

    The good AND bad part about user-managed software is that the developer-users decide how things work, then things stay that way until other developer-users do things differently.

    My most recent frustration? Drive automounting on boot.

    On Windows or Mac, all physical drives mount when the system boots up.

    On most, but all, varieties of Linux, it seems ONLY the system drive is mounted.

    This gave me trouble when I tried to set a second drive as the default location for Steam.

    Every time I rebooted, the Steam client forgot that I had a second hard drive. I didn't realize why, because in system settings I told the computer to mount all drives on boot.

    But. But.

    By default, Bazzite seems to set secondary drives as external, rather than internal. Spork knows why.

    So I had to sift through forum posts until I discovered that the internal drive was being seen as external. Then I had to figure out the combination of partition management tools and console commands to tell the system to mount the drive as an internal drive, rather than external.

    It now works perfectly - after over an hour of research and a couple days of frustration.

    There are two problems: 1. An extremely basic thing doesn't work the way the majority of users expect it to, and 2. A majority of developer-users apparently think it works fine as it is and doesn't need to be changed.

    So I feel your pain. I'd rather be using Linux now for gaming and for my 3D printing related hobbies.

    But for my day job, I'm on PC or Mac. I have to be, because I can't stop working for two hours while I troubleshoot and find a solution to an obscure problem.

  • Several distros have those kinds of utilities built in.

    Synaptics Package Manager comes preinstalled in lots of Debian derivatives.

    Manjaro, Bazzite, and Endeavour have their own bespoke update managers. (Others do, as well, but those are the three non-Debians I've used most recently.)
