I’m between distros and looking for a new daily driver for my laptop. What are people daily driving these days? Are there any new cool things to try?...
I would say the benefit of OpenSUSE is that everything is preconfigured to work right out of the box, including btrfs snapshotting with snapper. Once you boot it’s time to download apps, and go. Very windows like for those who just want the system to work. Updates are one click.
Oh my god, I remember the Maher bit, you could tell Bill was getting pissed off about this guy coming on and spewing conspiracy theories. Actively rooting against Brand ever since! I believe all these allegations are probably true, as Brand seems to have a very tenuous relationship with reality.
Lyft and Uber threatened to stop doing business in Minneapolis after the city council adopted a new rule Thursday that would set a minimum wage for rideshare drivers.
While I think this should pass, don’t hold your breath. Mayor Frey will probably veto it. He’s a very moderate, business friendly Democrat and our governor also vetoed a similar bill from the state legislature earlier this year. Right or wrong, they are concerned that any disruption of Uber/Lyft services would be extremely detrimental to people who depend on them. Public transportation in MN is really bad and this is one of the major ways people get around.
Authoritarianism (or vertical/hierarchical power structure) is THE defining characteristic of the right. “Auth-left” is Doublethink; an oxymoron meant to distract from the fact that wealth and power are one and the same.
This is so incredibly naive. Stalin? Mao? Evil authoritarianism comes in all flavors left and right. If you truly believe leftists aren’t capable of evil you need to study more history.
Fucking Lemmy.world is hot garbage. They’re down every day and are constantly defederating with any instance that doesn’t fit their narrow, sanitized world views. It’s also one of the most recommended Lemmy’s with more new users going there than anywhere else. I think it incredibly damaging in the long run to have 50% of active users on this platform to be centralized on one domain. Especially if this domain makes as many boneheaded decisions as lemmy.world
The USA debt to China is, I think, part of foreign policy. It keeps China at the table and they’ll never be able to break from globalism/the west cleanly because of it. If they ever invaded Taiwan, which I don’t think is likely, the USA would wipe all foreign debt to China as part of the sanctions package. You have to play nice (nice enough) if you want your money back.
Investor confidence in China’s troubled property sector has been rocked again this week by reports that one of the country’s largest private building conglomerates missed interest payments on two bonds.
No no no no no. We don’t want to people to join and enjoy our near 100% uptime. Also be warned that lemm.ee isn’t de-federated with lemmynsfw so you’ll get PORN on your all feed. The horror. Steer clear.
I don’t want to be on an instance that defederates instances based on any ideology. Originally I signed up for beehaw.org but saw they were defederating with instances who “didn’t share their inclusive views” That’s fine as it is their instance I guess, but I deleted my account. If your ideology of choice needs censorship to back it up, maybe it’s not that great. I want my all to be EVERYTHING porn nazis communists I don’t give a shit. ALL MEANS ALL
I remember seeing a tweet of his saying he just saw it and it was garbage. It was then I got really excited because I knew it was gonna be good. Boy howdy I was right, Wife and I loved the movie so we went back the 2nd Saturday. In 20 years of being with my wife, she has NEVER agreed to see a movie twice in theater. Still can’t get the songs out of my head. If you guys loved Barbie check out Ladybird kind of quirky coming of age film by the same director!
From what I understand, the KDE team used to use OpenSUSE as their distro of choice when testing KDE. This has changed now to KDE Neon being the flagship KDE experience. Also OpenSUSE will install Nvidia Drivers during install if you select that option. You’ll have to enable the Nvidia repo later on too. But it’s dead simple. Definitely give OpenSUSE a try. I’ve been using for a few months now on my laptop and it’s fantastic. It just works, including BTRFS snapshotting, right out of the box.
Minnesotans are now able to legally possess and grow their own marijuana for recreational purposes, after the Minnesota Legislature approved a 300-page bill earlier this year, and Gov. Tim Walz signed it into law shortly thereafter. It became official Tuesday.
Lemmy is decentralized but completely connected together. I am on lemm.ee but I can still subscribe and comment to Lemmy.world or any number of other communities. The website you type in to visit Lemmy doesn’t matter. All Lemmy instances go to the same place. OP is arguing that a large centralized instance is bad which I don’t think anybody can disagree with. Lemmy.world has been down like every day. Tons of stability/DDOS issues but that only affects communities/users localized on that instance. Problem is that’s like half of the active Lemmy users right now.
Its like the old adage, you can’t get something that is Good, Fast and Cheap. Pick two.
Jellyfin is free, but requires a more technical set up and does lack some minor features that Plex has and client availability is not as good (No Xbox/Playstation apps as far as I know). On the other hand Plex has a more feature rich product that is just that, a product. Plex Pass is not required, but it is very useful for server owners. It’s a tough sell to most people, and as a lifetime Plex pass holder, I would say the lifetime pass is the only one worth getting. Going month to month or evenly yearly is a huge waste of money.
Plex Pass has two features which I consider to be invaluable. Intro/Credit skip, when an intro or credit sequence is playing a button on screen will pop up allowing you to skip to the end. This even works well with movies with end credit scenes, it will just skip right to them. The other is transcoding, which if you’re streaming locally is not really required. Personally, I have dozens of users and some require transcoding because their internet connections are slower than my blu ray rips. Join us at !plex
I’ve had very good experiences with both but wanted to give debian a try, after accepting that it’s nvidia drivers and Optimus support suck, I need to decide whether to use EndeavourOS or OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, not using base arch because I don’t want to go through the install hassle.
Installed Tumbleweed on my laptop last weekend after giving up on Arch. I realized I just don’t have the time Arch demands. OpenSUSE has been pretty nice so far, everything seems to just work, I can’t complain!
First, is the marketplace at torrentinvites.org legit? Second, is it dishonorable to do such things? Third, how to avoid scams? Fourth, are there alternative marketplaces to have a sense of whether the price is right?...
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say Prigozhin is dead, everything coming out of Russia right now is fake news propaganda. They said he met with Putin? Prigozhin and co shot down Russian helicopters and killed Russian pilots. There is no fucking way this guy was then allowed to meet with Putin days later. Russian intelligence scooped this guy up and he’s dead 100%.
