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

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.

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.

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.

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?

It happened again tonight.

Yeah! For a few glorious moments, the Shadow-Cursed Lands were alive with color. :D

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

Can't spell "copilot" without "cop".

Kay's Butter Pecan. I don't think you can get it anymore.

They eventually walked back what caused the recent controversy but they've been losing user goodwill for years. https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/03/mozilla-rewrites-firefoxs-terms-of-use-after-user-backlash/

Dunno. Let's look at Wikipedia.

Save Our Children - Christian fundamentalist group

Abiding Truth Ministries - Christian fundamentalist group

Alamo Christian Foundation - Christian fundamentalist group

Alliance Defending Freedom - Christian fundamentalist group

American Family Association - Christian fundamentalist group

American Vision - Christian fundamentalist group

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

Center for Family and Human Rights - Catholic group

Chalcedon Foundation - Christian fundamentalist group

And so many more.

I remember TNT used to show the later seasons of Angel, which were originally 16:9, cropped to 4:3 and then stretched back to 16:9. 🤮

Please leave the original aspect ratio alone. Also fuck AI.

Ask them why they don't keep their toilet in their living room. 😆

Far out tyvm

I'm currently able to play BG3 in HDR (on Nvidia!) using gamescope. Once the Wayland stuff makes it to Bazzite, how would that change my Steam launch parameters? No more gamescope?

ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 gamescope -f -w 3840 -h 2160 --hdr-enabled --hdr-debug-force-output --steam -- env ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=1 DXVK_HDR=1 DISABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command% --skip-launcher

My first thought upon seeing this post title was "Oh, is Ron Amadeo writing for 9to5google now?" 😆

Not the most disappointing, but just to name someone that hasn't been mentioned yet here:

Wife made me watch OUAT over the holiday break. Turns out Ginnifer Goodwin is a Zionist bc of course she is.

Edit: From Wikipedia

In February 2024, Goodwin signed an open letter by Creative Community for Peace rejecting calls for Israel to be banned from Eurovision 2024 amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
