  • Amazon rainforest cut down to build highway for COP climate summit

  • Tell that to the millions of people that suffered for scorching temperatures last year. Even just last week classes were suspended for some parts in our country due to a high heat index (humidity played a large factor but temperatures really are reaching dangerous levels for the past years) and it's not even summer here right now.

  • Linux Mint - NOT "Usable Out of the Box" - Probably switching back to Windows

  • My friend who uses Linux mint on a hybrid nvidia laptop faces similiar issues with you. He had gone a lot of trouble on having his Nvidia GPU to work reliably and on some issues with bluetooth which can be attributed to issues with the DE's interface with the bluetooth driver/hardware. I had similar problems with bluetooth years ago when I used gnome on arch linux but it resolved itself later maybe due to some updates. Recently he was faced with problems on updates on his system which borked his DE and just landed him on a console, which was enough for him to restore his system to a previous working state. I think that the hacks and tinkers he they have done to solve the previously said problems (and others I may not be aware of) may have caused the update problem.

    As for me I haven't had those problems. This was recent though because years ago you really would be doing a lot of manual tinkering to even make windows games to run on linux. I'm running KDE now on arch and it is even much more stable than my windows partition which I dual boot. Heck, its the windows updates that causes problems on my linux partition.

    My friend has similar opinions with you that linux is still not as good as windows and its infuriating specially when it does not work. It may have been because both of you may have chosen a distro not right for your needs and use case. Linux Mint may be touted as a beginner distro for switchers from windows, but I think that this may not be the case for most since some of those who switch are tinkers or may have specific use cases which Linux Mint is not built in mind or incapable of offering. Using Linux though is a learning experience. It maybe easier than ever to jump on linux now but it is still fundamentally different from windows and that some steps from there does not apply here. There's a lot of suggestions and advice on this thread and I suggest that you try some of them.

  • Which keyboard app do you use on your phones? Do you enable clipboard history in it?

  • Heliboard was the closest to Gboard imo. It would be better though if it supports Japanese input.

  • It was for me until a few years ago. I used doge as a base for most of my internet alias since I like the meme (as you can see from my username). One time inside a game, I was asked if I was a crypto bro because of my ign. At the time, i don't like crypto but have no hard feelings against it. Ever since then I loath those crypto bros and their worship of crypto currencies for destroying the image of doge and with their stupid crypto currency nonsense.

  • Newpipe is getting updates on fdroid again and seem like will be getting updates for the foreseeable future as the issue stopping it is solved.

  • Libretube would have replaced the youtube app for me if not for how slow their instances are for me. So far I did not see any crashes but the pages would sometimes not load and would require you to change instances. I think the cause may have been that the instances are hosted far away from me geographically and that my current internet connection has been having issues for non-mainstream websites.

  • Schools closed, warnings issued as Asia swelters in extreme heatwave

  • The other day, a place in the Philippines recorded a Heat Index of around 58 degrees Celsius (136 F). That is classified as Extreme Danger and most places have heat index a little bit lower than that.

  • I have a similar experience, only visiting reddit for stuff like tech problems and very niche communities. I had never willingly visited the reddit homepage since.

    There are a lot of posts now on lemmy compared to before the reddit fiasco but is not like the activity on reddit. The good thing though is that it made me stop my habit of mindlessly scrolling through endless content.
