Didn’t there use to be an unlimited tier?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is there a way to get the local feed of another instance?
4·11 days agoThat you can’t do.
It’s possible in some cases but looks like Thunder doesn’t support it for guest profiles.
The local feed is unique to each instance, and content in it may not exist on yours. For a community to be federated to a given instance, it must have at least one local user who is a subscriber, and the community can’t be local only.

4·11 days agoThunder can add instances using a “guest” profile. Basically browse only mode without an account.
Theft.
Unknown.
It’ll be running some kind of ARM soc. Hades has been demoed running flawlessly on it. No VR titles yet, but there is no reason they couldn’t work, too.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Pascal (GTX 1070) on Arch after NVIDIA 590... what’s the sane long-term path?
22·15 days ago?
The 580 driver does support wayland, it’s not that old. Or are you worried about future breaking changes since you won’t get updates?
I just switched my sisters old laptop with a 970m over to the nvidia-580xx driver, available on the AUR. Further manual maintenance should be unnecessary until the kernel becomes too new for that.
I even had to enable wayland for GDM because it was trying to use X11 and failing.
She plays minecraft and a couple other games so the nouveau was not an option.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux gaming is growing! The Roblox client Sober was downloaded 1.3 million times this year.
9·15 days agoYeah. It’s almost more like Steam, complete with unmoderated social platform functionality.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What apps do you recommend for Android devices with Eink screens?
5·17 days agoMihon has a setting to flash the display when changing pages to reduce ghosting on e-ink displays.
Which you shouldn’t use. E-ink refreshes are far more complex than simply flashing the screen a solid color, involving multiple steps to massage the e-ink in the panel into a sharp image. These are calculated and done by the e-ink display driver on any decent device, whenever the image on screen changes enough.
Mihon also does the flash out of sync with the actual display refresh (if it’s set to occur on tap), CAUSING ghosting, instead of reducing it.
If you can configure your e-ink device to do a full display refresh on tap, simply do that.
In Mihon, just disable animations, and let the e-ink display driver handle display refreshes.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your opinions about the word clanker?
3·21 days agoTrue AI will happen one day
You literally can’t know that.
Science isn’t even sure that if it does, we’ll be able to tell.
Right now, to me at least, “clanker” is used to dismiss the corporate desire to hook us all on socializing with their products, instead of our fellow peoples.
And in doing that, it is, today at least, a force for good.
Did you already find this?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Installed Linux for the fist time in Feb, I've now started saving ISO's
1·1 month agoI use this one professionally, yet to come across a PC that wouldn’t boot from it.
And yeah, you won’t benefit unless the PC also has both fast ports and fast storage.
But half of the time I’m using it to move files from a customers old PC to their new one, and more aften than not, even the old one has at least one quick usb C port.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Installed Linux for the fist time in Feb, I've now started saving ISO's
1·1 month agoSure.
But that’s limited to SATA 3 speeds. A “mere” 600 MB/s. Not to mention SATA SSDs often can’t sustain their theoretical maximums.
USB3.2x2 can do 2500 MB/s, and with heatsinks on an NVME drive you can actually reach and sustain that transfer speed.
When you’re moving more than 500 gigs of something, or if you move ISO sized things often, it’s really nice.
When I occasionally have to write an ISO to usb for macOS or when ventoy for some reason wont work, I get annoyed at how I actually have to wait a bit, even though my thumbdrives aren’t slow.
They’re just not NVME with a heatsink fast. I’ve gotten used to moving ISOs around like they’re text files.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Installed Linux for the fist time in Feb, I've now started saving ISO's
2·1 month agoTrue. But if you have an old one laying around, from a laptop, desktop or whatever, even a low end one will saturate usb while beating 2.5" hdds.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Installed Linux for the fist time in Feb, I've now started saving ISO's
8·1 month agoOr if you want to install an entire iso in less than a minute, one of these.
I really like that one. I can move a terabyte in minutes, and unlike some other M.2 enclosures, this one is a heatsink sandwich, which enables sustained full-speed operation.
I’m not sure on the answer myself, but you did get one thing wrong.
Even the oldest, sickest pet will still make an effort to keep themselves alive however they can: eating, drinking water, moving out of the way of danger, etc.
No, they won’t.
Plenty of illnesses cause apathy, dehydration, or loss of appetite.
Causes vary from pain so intense moving is unbearable, or nausea so severe food is inedible. It can be mental, physical, easily treated, or incurable and eventually lethal.
Either way, pets can and absolutely do choose inaction when miserable enough.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Recommendations for after installing Linux (Mint) coming from Windows for best practices for a casual user ?
2·1 month agoFlathub and the AUR are by far the most comprehensive, and flatpaks works on a lot of distros. So I checked those.
They’ve also been getting their kinks worked out over the last few years and work much better than they used to.
That review you found is two years old and was for version 1.1. Current version is 1.4. Try it out today, if it’s been fixed leave another review letting people know. It seems to work just fine for me, but I haven’t used it before.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Recommendations for after installing Linux (Mint) coming from Windows for best practices for a casual user ?
4·1 month agoMaterial Maker is on Flathub, the AUR, and on Snapcraft (not up to date, but you shouldn’t use snap anyway).
No need for a manual install.
You’ll find a lot of software is available via package managers. Linux people don’t like installing anything without it being managed by a package manager so the installation and subsequent updates are automatic and occur alongside system updates. So when people find software they like, they’ll go out of their way to package and distribute it for others as well

Linux@lemmy.ml•Recommendations for after installing Linux (Mint) coming from Windows for best practices for a casual user ?
3·1 month agoYes. But you didn’t.
Knowing what something does is important.
If you install a piece of software expecting it to do something it actually doesn’t, that can leave a security gap.
I wasn’t just correcting you. I was making sure you knew that if you install a “firewall” it won’t do the thing you’re looking for.
As for an actual answer, most distros will already ask you to confirm if you try to run a random appimage you downloaded.
But you shouldn’t need to do that in the first place. On linux, there’s not really any need to go running random programs downloaded using your web browser, since you can just download software from trusted reposotories that aren’t going to host malware to begin with.
Unlike on windows… You don’t need to risk it in the first place.




Really common, actually. RAM doesn’t really wear out, so if you do get hit with some faulty DIMMS, look into RMAs.
