For a lot of marginalized people Twitter was a place to escape to and find like-minded people, I can see how it’s hard to make a new place feel as homely. Most of us here left another site because we didn’t agree with the leadership so it’s a very biased group, “just do the same thing we did”. Not everyone is in as privileged of a position though and it might be way harder for them to leave than you can imagine, especially if they’re addicted to it.

Also you only ever see your face unmirrored in photos, even your phone’s front camera will mirror the picture to not unsettle you.

When I started hitting OOMs I just downloaded free ram.

(Modifying my zram-generator config to use 1.5x my ram size instead of the measly 4GB – uncompressed – default. Seriously it’s worth looking into, though default depends on your distro)

Where at least I know I’m free 🎵

Unless you’re poor, or black or gay, or trans or disabled or need healthcare-

The only reason I ever wired my headphones to my phone was rhythm games and now with USB-C this adds latency making the whole thing pointless.

So I’ve looked into the yearly stats and macOS stats and the fact that they call it OS X and the macOS version stats only go up to Catalina (the last 10.x, released in 2019) makes me believe most of these are macOS 11+ users.

I love the idea of it but I have to agree, it’s just less repairable and causes even more e-waste. Smartphone advancement is at a point where we could easily be using the same device for at least 8 years, but not if they come with planned obsolescence as a feature.

Yeah, turns out it was an automated response to the account getting too many follows in a short time. There’s enough genuinely bad things about the platform that we don’t need to get mad at some speculation.

It’s fitting for this image too since CachyOS kernel + packages + defaults go zoom.

It’s more like a thief stealing a pebble from the garden in front of the bank.

Laughs in LLVM-compiled kernel.

Steam Deck: Syncthing automatically sends them to my computer :)

I used this exclusively to get screenshots off my switch easily. Still very happy about bigger companies cutting ties with the muskrat.

Amazon has done that for the past 2 decades and it has somehow worked.

Removing the middle-man, very efficient.

One of the latest developments is an open-source Nvidia driver developer being hired by Nvidia and continuing their work on it, so it’s technically not fully true anymore. They’ll definitely stay behind for a while longer but it seems to finally be looking good for once.

Progress in that regard is actually pretty rampant lately, I can imagine by the time Windows 10 is EOL it will be no different from AMD.

I use archie btw

I’m a TikTok user (sorry) and love the longer educational videos, but over 10 minutes which is the current limit seems excessive in this format. I wanna be able to pause and continue these later which doesn’t fit into how TikTok works.

IMO these should be separated into different apps, when I use YouTube I also don’t wanna be made to watch their shorts. I wouldn’t mind a YT alternative by TikTok – don’t get me wrong they’re also a horrible company but it wouldn’t harm to have competition by one of the few who could pull it off.

The changes to linux audio lately are a bit of a mess. Wireplumber completely changed their config format with 5.0 and it just stopped launching if you had v4 configs.

I do appreciate that we’re not stuck with pulseaudio anymore though so I really shouldn’t complain.
