  • What? Facebook is using my data? I thought I could trust them! 😳

    … …

    I mean, /s if you couldn't tell.

  • He's working on concrete steps?

    Any chance some one could shove him down them?

  • Here's how to turn that off:

    1. Uninstall Google Chrome
    2. Install Firefox, Ungoogled Chromium, or, heck, Vivaldi
    3. Stop trusting Google

    There we go, problem solved.

  • Long live Infinity for Lemmy!

  • I strongly prefer there to be a port. I mostly use Bluetooth headsets, but sometimes your battery runs out, or you really want to use your super nice plug-in noise canceling headphones. It's better to have the option.

  • I use aliases too, and I (mostly) use Fedora. Alias is a great tool. I also think "the program name is too long" is a pretty silly argument. We're on the same page there. All I meant was that "just use alias" isn't really a rebuttal to that particular point.

  • If a US Republican is praising your policy, it's a bad policy. If they call it (🤢🤮) Reganesque, then it's a disastrous one.

  • Oh! So Spaniards are better at clapping than everyone else! Oh, well, yeah, that's 100% true based on that video and some memories from my time in Europe oh so long ago.

  • Is clapping something other than slapping your hands together in Spain?

    This sounds more like a particular region doing a common thing differently rather than other people not knowing how. Like, I'm pretty sure Americans know how to clap. I've seen them do it. Not to brag, but I've done it a time or two m'self.

  • I dont know about what actually does into a distro and desktop and everything else

    Well, if you want to learn, check out the Archwiki. Arch has amazing documentation. Just reading through the installation instructions can teach you a lot:

  • It's best practice to actually read the posy before commenting rather than commenting on the post title and ignoring its text.

  • I have nothing against Budgie, I just haven't used it. It looks pretty nice, though 😀

  • Nothing surprising about it.

  • If you're not having performance issues, then I don't see much reason to change. Sure, Xorg is basically in maintenance mode, but so what? Your setup works for you, so do your thing.

    That said, Sway is a window manager intended to be a drop in replacement for i3 on Wayland, and is pretty close from what I hear: https://swaywm.org/

    Plasma is very good with Wayland, although you might want to wait for Plasma 6, since they're apparently making several improvements, and it's due out soon anyway: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Plasma-6-Wayland-Great

    You can install Wayland and switch sessions during login too, so you can check it for yourself and see if your i3 dotfiles work with Sway.

  • With i3, that isn't as simple, since i3 doesn't support Wayland. You'd need to install a WM which supports Wayland + customize it, to be able to switch back and forth.

    While it's not as simple as KDE, switching from i3 isn't that hard thanks to Sway. It's a tiling window manager that's intended to be used as a drop-in replacement for i3 on Wayland:

  • I haven't tried Trinity, mostly because KDE 3 was a bad experience for me. It's certainly an interesting project, though.

  • Well, it's not about overeating for one thing. The stuff is everywhere in American food. Assuming you're in the States, you've probably consumed a lot more corn syrup than you think within the past year, and the stuff isn't good for you. Here's an article from the Cleveland Clinic about why it's probably not the best thing to eat:

    https://health.clevelandclinic.org/avoid-the-hidden-dangers-of-high-fructose-corn-syrup-video/

    Now, as I initially said, I don't know about banning it, but I kinda feel like warning labels are justified, and maybe some other restrictions.

    Also… I live in Iowa, and frankly the corn subsidies that have helped cause the corn sweetener explosion are destroying the environment here. It's a lot to get into, but corn production at this scale causes changes to weather patterns. It's a lot.

    So, I'd like to see corn subsidies ended, or at least reduced a lot. This would make corn sweetener more expensive and therefore a less attractive ingredient.

  • I'd recommend AMD over Nvidia for a linux laptop, but it's not as big a deal as it used to be. Most distros have good Nvidia support, although you often have to install the proprietary drivers after installing the OS. Even distros like Nobara that have Nvidia images to DL have to install and update the drivers at first launch.

    So either will work, but if you've got a choice, go with AMD. It's just a smoother experience.

  • It doesn't seem like nothing at all! Great job and welcome to the fam!

    Wow this takes me back to the first time I set up a FreeBSD desktop. That sense of accomplishment, I mean, wow. I haven't felt that in a while.

    Maybe I'll build a new system with Funtoo… or I could go real crazy and use NetBSD…
