I’ve never heard of them, but it makes sense.

You’re not going to stop something from happening if you don’t address the people doing it.

It’s intentional. How else are they supposed to sell you a new set of joy cons every year?

It’s dumb to search anything when they’re responding to a direct link to the GitHub page. They had no issues finding it; they were just pointing out the original comment in the picture is no longer there, with no marker meaning there’s no “comment deleted” marker on the thread.

I highly doubt they meant all traces of the comment have been wiped from the internet. That would be silly; given we’re looking at a screenshot of it on the internet.

They’re talking about the comment that asks whether the issue is resolved, rather than the follow up comment that you’ve googled.

If you click the link you’ll see that it is indeed missing.

I do actually have a tweaknews subscription; But still find myself browsing public torrents too.

Old habits I guess.

Welcome back me hearty!

Proton VPN & QbitTorrent are the most common tools of the trade now. finding the files can be done via standard web browser; though many use TOR browser with duckduckgo as the search engine for an additional layer of anonymity.

Hope this helps. Feel free to DM if you need any advice on setup.

Would be far more viable had the Australian press not also been shot.

You’d think the microphone and news camera crew would give away the fact that they’re press, but I guess not. The PRESS identification is generally seen worn by war correspondents, rather than standadd press (they use lanyards moreso than flak jackets).

That being said; there is definitely an argument to be made that the US should be receiving war correspondents rather than standard journalists; and journalists being shot on camera definitely strengthens that argument.

Seconded. I have endeavourOS on my desktop and mint on my laptops.

Endeavour (arch based) is great for people who like to tinker with the setup whereas mint is ootb ready to go, with most UX features ex windows users would expect.

I used to recommend elementary OS to Mac users, and mint to windows. Now I recommend mint to all, and to customise it to mimic Mac; if that’s what’s desired… As it’s just so damn stable in comparison.

If you’re familiar in any capacity with self hosted tech. Id suggest checking out matrix servers. I setup one for family and friends a few months back. Currently it’s only running on a 2 core 8 gig ram vps with around 15 regular users, and ticks over fine. It’s routinely used as a phone chat client like WhatsApp, as well as for voice channels instead of discord.

You can utilise multiple different clients; but I would suggest element, as they’re the closest to WhatsApp, and therefore the easiest for people to adopt. (Afaik, it’s the only matrix client with voice & video call support too).

Matrix servers run on the concept of decentralised federated servers, with the idea that as the technology expands, admins can federate with other matrix servers and allow cross communication (in much the same way the fediverse works).

Good old fashioned tribalism.

Are there any fediversians out there familiar with friendica? From what I can tell, it looks like a FOSS equivalent to Facebook. I was never really into Facebook or Instagram, so on the surface it seems to tick the boxes, but I appreciate they have addiction tier levels of interaction with the majority of people around me, so differences will be glaring for hardcore users.

My partner is an artist, and she’s been trialling pixelfed for me; all seems to be going smoothly, but the older generations are FB diehards, so if I have any chance of adoption, it has to be something closer to that experience.

I’m looking to potentially spin up an instance for friends and family to migrate to. They currently have the desire due to the stream of enshittification we’re seeing; but people are fickle and I’ve no doubt that desire can be extinguished by the slightest inconvenience. so any insight on what’s good and what’s missing regarding friendica (or other FB FOSS alternatives), is definitely appreciated.

Sure, they’re not designed solely for gaming. But they’re focused on graphical performance which is what makes them suited for gamers.

Pop! Os has a focus on graphical performance, with versions containing preconfigured AMD/nvidia drivers depending on the users build. To claim that gaming hasn’t factored into the decision to focus on graphics would just be silly.

Doesn’t really feel as though that pedantry has added anything to the conversation if I’m honest, as the question was what would be suitable for gaming, and you yourself also recommend 76?

System76 laptops are built for gaming.

They also created their own Linux distro called Pop! Os, which is designed around gaming, and fairly popular within the community. All their laptops come with Pop! os preinstalled
