Vulkan drivers come as part of Mesa, which would already be part of Linux Mint. Unless you have an Nvidia GPU, or a GPU that's somehow too modern for Mint 21.3.

Why should they stand down? So that Israel can keep assassinating people in Iran’s territory with impunity?

Comedy is legal on Twitter again

Hell yeah to those websites that still publish RSS feeds, though

She literally implied Jewish Americans protesting in DC were associates of Hamas and further implied they're Anti-Semites. This was just two weeks ago when Netanyahu was at the Capitol giving a speech to his clapping seals (a record number of standing ovations for genocide). What the fuck are you on about?

Mind you, we are talking about Kamala's statements. Not a random group's that nobody's ever heard of.

How do you know Kamala won’t do that? What signal has she given that her policy will be different from Biden’s?

Beginning to think he may become known as Teflon Tim instead

Shut the fuck up you genocide sympathizer. Go eat shit.

I really hate to "back in my day" this but we had computer labs for that when I was younger. And that didn't require giving a monopoly company my name or any other information about me. And I wasn't being ad-tracked all day long going to websites.

That's really wild to me. They give each grade school student a chromebook? That is honestly terrifying.

I think arch peaked in its popularity in 2016 or so. It felt like an elitism thing was going on around that time that has 1. Faded off and 2. Been dispersed into other distros because as it turns out there are other good choices, too.

Besides. How are you going to become a rising influencer rehashing the same old takes as the prior generation of dorks? Can’t keep people coming with Arch is the greatest YouTube videos forever.

Incredibly prescient article.

Give me the OLD CHASSIS and the OLD KEYBOARD and make every other component new. I'd be in heaven. I would totally love an absolutely up-to-date x220. And I don't mean a razor-thin one. I mean a thick one that I can hold in my hand comfortably.

I totally get what you're saying, but I suspect the OP is not going to be using this device full-time. Or even part-time.

A long time coming, but because of their recent changes in the past couple of months if I have JS disabled on Wikipedia I either have an obnoxiously large blank margin on the right, or I get pop-up annoyed by this dark mode announcement with JS enabled and private tab browsing.

I used ProtonVPN for years. I use MullvadVPN. Both are totally fine, in my experience. I left ProtonVPN because I couldn't get port forwarding on Linux, and then less than two months after I did that Mullvad removed that feature, so that's how it goes.

The one caveat to building is if you build a PC and a single component is faulty, you are now responsible for determining which component is to get the RMA done. That can be a big hassle. One time for me it was actually two different components that needed to be replaced by the manufacturers, and that was a pain to figure out.

Any computer mouse, frankly.

The sad thing is when I bought my first gaming mouse in the mid 2000s it was a Razer and that thing ran great for almost 10 years. I only replaced it because after handling it for that many years it was worn and kinda gross.

I replaced it with a Razer that went sure enough went faulty after a year. I then tried other brands (name and no-name). I've never had a mouse last me 18 months before it started to go faulty. It really feels like they all colluded a planned obsolescence. Even my current mouse, a Zowie FK3-C, has begun to drop the mouse input when i click and hold the left button. I bought this in June 2023!!

I still like the Zowie a lot, it has great features like a button to toggle the refresh rate without the need for installing dumb software to set it. But it's been 10 years of this shit, for me, so I will never recommend a computer mouse to anyone. Just use the one that you get from your office job, I guess.

I want to use global keyboard shortcuts with Wayland that can be defined in the application, not the compositor. This makes using Wayland much more difficult for me.

And I also want to use proper Flatpak file permissions, but for Flatpaks to stop generating fake stupid random file paths so that this common issue stops being an issue:

Come in and set the file path to my games directory in my emulator. It works fine. Come back a few days later and it loses all memory of games, because it is receiving a file path from a portal that no longer exists.

Thankfully joe biden didn't just continue trump policies, so that settles that.

oh, wait. we still have a space force, we still have rich people tax cut handout, we still have an embassy moved from tel aviv to jersualem, and we still sanction venezuela.
