  • I think about this often. Follow me here because this may seem convoluted but I don't have a better way of explaining it out loud. These are just my two cents.

    There is a very consistent "power fantasy" that is delivered to men from early childhood. There is a core logical fallacy to all these power fantasies tied directly to their gender which is essentially a birthright to power.

    The harsh reality is that there are no gender based birthrights to power IRL.

    Instead of truly observing power dynamics, they create a coagulated malformed response which is to construct the thing they were promised (power by birthright). "Manosphere" content provides a framework of loop holes and logical fallacies to get them closer to the right to obtain power simply via subscription. The subscription process is mostly performative often via mimicry aligned role models. This aligns extremely well with fascist agendas and is easily exploited.

    I've seen this manifest in weird arguments like "Women only have rights because Men give it to them" as if it's some sort of kindness or a handicap in a sport to award others with basic rights.

    Its all very gross

    Discussion - Potential piefed instance in the future?

    Jump

  • I am only tangentially aware what's going with the developments so far in the developer community. I'm thinking about it and so I'm going back to how I got here from Reddit myself. These are just my two cents.

    There some realities to deal with which are end user cases. I think the major push off of reddit to Lemmy was the closing of the third party apps. This is what provided Reddit usability for a large scale of its base. When developers left reddit their userbase went with them because that was the app they liked.

    The benefits were clear, safety from enshittification, freedom of speech, and the same advertisement free user experience from third party apps with responsive user interfaces. It's hard to admit there was a swath of users who probably moved because they used SYNC for Android and strongly disliked the mobile reddit UX. That whole period has cooled off now and people probably have less change energy in them now then before.

    I would think that that to make a successful leap from Lemmy to Piefed, there would probably have to be a clear migration path that is relatively seamless. All communities, post history, and app compatibility would have to come with it.

    Now with that being said, I wouldn't want to burden the maintainers of any instances with additional overhead however I do trust them to be more aware of the inner workings of the systems they host than myself. Sometimes it's worth standing up an environment to see if it's abilities can stand the test of your use case.

    For that reason alone I would be for standing up alternatives at least to try them out.

    Thanks

  • Xbox Steps Into the Portable Gaming Scene and Linux Gamers Are Not Scared

  • I've been gaming on Linux for two years now. I've moved on from Nvidia and purchased two AMD GPUs in that time (5700xt and 7800xt). Now that Nvidia is is also providing better support via their drivers, my desktop sporting the GeForce 3090 will also be moving to Bluefin in October.

  • This started a few months ago across the board. It's the dumbest realignment of their application stack ever ... With that being said, I think it's clear that the future of Microsoft is going to be them attempting to move the entire OS experience into the cloud no matter how misguided or unwarranted that approach may be.

  • I watch a lot of videos to this day from Bryan Cantrill (Oxide computer) and he's got some wild stories about the forking of illumos and how difficult it was to essentially "save" Solaris. His company uses their own illumos based distro called heliOS on their oxide computer rack.

  • Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

    Jump

  • Cool. I was just looking to see if someone had a guide because I'm trying to understand the pitfalls of doing it this way and I'm curious if anyone else has opened up Jellyfin to the world.

  • Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

    Jump

  • Does anyone have any helpful guides on setting up jellyfin with a certificate so they can privately host it while also keeping it secure and up to date? I think if using docker it would make sense to use compose and configure traeffic proxy and use let's encrypt for certificates.

    Plex takes care of this for you with their cert and authentication systems. I feel like if user management and secure authentication is easy to set up then that is the primary reason to leave Plex. If I can just hand out accounts to anyone whom I would like to access my instance with ease then my family members could easily access it.

    If one was to host from the home, using something like tailscale to host it online with forwarding a port would also be ideal.

  • I just want to make sure I read this correctly. It says that if you're a Plex plass holder already that remote streaming changes won't affect your service. This means that if I have the lifetime subscription and host my own server than users whom have not payed for Plex pass can continue to access this server without issue correct?

  • Valve's monthly survey reveals that almost 45% of Steam users on PC are still using Windows 10 even with the sword of Damocles hanging over them

  • Bazzite is amazing. Pretty much all Ublue based distros have been the most painless Linux experience I've had in years. The biggest problem I think most users have is the Dominance of Nvidia graphics hardware. Nvidia does "work" but it's much more unstable than the much more stable AMD driver. I bought an AMD 7800xt and I'm pretty much problem free now.

    Since I have so many Nvidia cards I'm regularly testing Nvidia under Bazzite on a spare 2070super. It's impressive but it's not ready for average users.

  • I'm pretty sure the final version of Windows 10 LTSC 2021 had its window of support shortened to five years to align with the end of support. Only windows 10 LTSC 2019 has 10 years of support. If you're using LTSC 2019 for gaming please be aware you will be missing any features released for windows 10 that were released after version 1809. This will harm game performance for a lot of newer titles and hardware.

  • Can we please, PLEASE for gods sake just all agree that arch is not and will never be a good beginner distro no matter how many times you fork it?

    Jump

  • This is funny. I feel like I see a "which arch is better" post almost everyday now.

    A lot of people I think would be well suited to be on Bluefin or Bazzite. I really can't sing the praises of it enough. It has a ton of well developed resources and the Appstore is flatpak centric. It really does give you that ChromeOS like experience for the average user.

    End users should really be nowhere near package management. They should just be able to run the apps they want and expect them to work.

  • Is cachyos the best distro for gaming support? (all amd)

    Jump

  • Sure. When selecting Nvidia GPU under Bazzite you will see this message "Steam Gaming Mode support is available for your hardware in beta, but multiple known issues exist in these builds. Please note that the majority of bugs cannot be fixed except by your GPU manufacturer."

  • BazziteOS for the win. I used ChimeraOS for a year but Bazzite has been much better. It comes out of the box with most everything you need.

    With that being said for gaming, Nvidia driver is very early days and is considered experimental under Bazzite. I have several Nvidia GPUs and I regularly test Linux with a 2070+Intel tiger lake machine to see what works and what doesn't.

    I purchased a Radeon 7800xt for Bazzite and it's extremely stable. This will probably be my recommendation going forward.
