  • What are your highest seeding ratios?

    Jump

  • Geez. I seed until I upload twice what I downloaded. Am I a stingy bastard?

  • Like its a drag race

    Jump

  • There were always three topics that would start a fight on Reddit:

    1. Nuclear power
    2. The care and feeding of a cat
    3. Any mention of driving less than 500 mph in the fast lane

    I feel like this one goes in the third bucket. Be better than Reddit, Lemmy.

  • What problems can I expect using Linux (Fedora) with an NVIDIA GPU?

    Jump

  • I've been using Aurora which is an immutable distro based on Fedora. It's from the same guys who do Bazzite. I use it on my work laptop with a discrete Nvidia card. I've had zero issues with the video driver. (I use Bazzite on two desktop and a laptop at home, all with Nvidia cards).

    I really like these universal blue distro because on the odd occasion that I have an issue after an update, I can reboot into a pinned working version of the system. There are only a couple of CLI commands to learn to pin and unpin the different systems. All currently available systems appear on the grub menu. It's kind of brilliant IMO.

    Only downside is that installing RPM packages isn't recommended, but I've found pretty much everything I need through flathub. I have one RPM package installed for VeraCrypt (no flatpak and it doesn't work right in a container) but it hasn't caused any issues for me.

    Edit: I should say I can't speak to the ongoing driver issues on the 50 series cards. The newest card I own is an RTX 3080 LHR 12 GB.

  • These kinds of posts always give me anxiety that someone would take a magic marker to their cat for fake Internet points.

  • Has anyone else noticed Firefox becoming more buggy recently?

    Jump

  • I've had a regular issue on Linux for months where Firefox gets into a state where every open tab crashes when I interact with it (or the tab crashes immediately if I open a page in a new tab). Restart would fix it for a while, then the problem would come back. Started evaluating LibreFox last week and have been problem free so far. If it doesn't do anything weird, I may make it my new daily driver.

  • Do you browse hexbear or have an account in hexbear?

    Jump

  • Huh. First time I saw this post, I figured it was bait. I'm pretty sure I was subbed to a couple communities on hexbear. Occurred to me today when I encountered this post again that I'd not seen any hexbear content for a while. Turns out my instance has it blocked. Not sure if it's for technical reasons or moderation reasons. Does that go in the mod log or somewhere?

  • You asked, we built it: Firefox tab groups are here | The Mozilla Blog

    Jump

  • So they're reintroducing a feature in 2025 that they added to Firefox in 2010 and subsequently removed in 2013. Such progress. Much wow.

  • Lenovo Cuts the Windows Tax and offers Cheaper Laptops with Linux Pre-installed

    Jump

  • Fantastic development. I got the "last year's" model of a Lenovo Legion gaming laptop for work a few years ago bc it was one of the few affordable models that I could find at the time with a second m.2 slot. Expandable memory was a nice bonus. Love the keyboard, too. Been really happy with it. I run Kinoite on it.

    Americans for Truth about Homosexuality - headed by Peter LaBarbera who served as a senior policy analyst for the Culture and Family Institute, a Christian fundamentalist group

    ATLAH World Missionary Church - They want to literally stone the gays, so I feel pretty comfortable calling them a Christian fundamentalist group
