Tried it again a few months ago when HDR support first dropped in KDE. It didn’t work at all. Everything was desaturated and dim. Literally the opposite of what HDR is supposed to do.

I’m giving it another year before I try Linux again. Hopefully the bugs are sorted by then.

Shit like this is why I don’t use DuckDuckGo. I appreciate them for what they do (and I love the DDG app for it’s tracking protection abilities), but their search is absolute garbage, somehow even worse than Google’s.

Why is Microsoft’s support so completely and utterly useless, anyway? Do they purposely hire people who don’t understand how computers work for their support team? They almost always reply with a “solution” that has absolutely nothing to do with the issue at hand. Why are they so bad at their jobs?

The second

That’s what I say every time people talk shit about BTC, but I still get downvoted anyway because NFTs and meme coins ruined crypto.

I like Windows 11. It has the best HDR support of any OS, bar none. AutoHDR is a godsend.

My only complaint is about the taskbar, which I fixed by installing StartAllBack.

Hasn’t affected my life one bit. It people weren’t mentioning egg prices on Lemmy, I would have had no idea that there was a shortage.

Never understood everyone’s obsession with eggs. There are so many other sources of protein out there. You don’t need to perpetually have them in your fridge.

DLSS is AI upscaling, right?

No, not DLSS. RTX Video Enhancement. Makes YouTube look so much better.

I think the program nvidia-settings has that? Try it out!

It does not. I’m talking about this page. Almost every game in existence is missing several settings that are on this page, especially GPU Power Management Mode, Negative LOD Bias, Max Framerate in the Background, and Max VR Prerendered Frames.

Does that driver support SDR to HDR conversation, AI upacaling, and most importantly: the 3D Settings page? I can live without the first two features, but I can’t believe that there is no 3D Settings page in Linux. It has so many graphics settings that aren’t available in most games.

And yes, AMD GPUs can’t keep up. Especially if you like Ray Tracing. I’m not an AMD hater; I have a 7700X

Lucky. I couldn’t get HDR working properly, and most of my GPU features were missing because Nvidia refuses to support Linux (and AMD GPUs can’t keep up). So I had to go back to Windows.

Been trying to switch to Linux since 2004. I’ll try again in 5 years.

0 and I hope I never meet any of you.

I can live without hearing, thanks to subwoofers, but if I ever go blind I think I’m just going to kill myself.

So permanent good vision; I pick that.

No I’m not trolling you, I literally do not remember what you asked me to do. I don’t care if you asked me 30 seconds ago; I legitimately forgot and I apologize for that.

Yes I know, I should just knock it out now before I forget again, but my low dopamine levels won’t let me. No I’m not just being lazy; you might as well ask me to move a mountain. That’s just how difficult is for me to complete the most basic of chores. It is completely out of my control, and no amount of Adderall will fix it.

The wife and I have this argument all the time and it drives me crazy.

I have no clue. I don’t listen to lyrics because ADHD. The voice is just another instrument to me.

Ignorance is bliss, so I’ll take beauty. I just want to be happy.

One question: Why?

More like “99¢ per song? What a ripoff! I’ll just download them from KaZaA instead.”

“Antenna”? Don’t you mean “dish”?

Yes I know that dish antennas are antennas, but I’ve never heard of anyone calling them just “antennas”.

I suppliment Lemmy with Imgur. That said, Imgur also forces you to use their offical app, and it also sells your data to 3rd parties, like most apps. But it’s not nearly as shit as the offical reddit app, and you can always block the trackers with the DuckDuckGo app.

I still don’t have a replacement for niche subreddits, though. So I only visit them on the desktop now to minimize that time on the site, and so I can use old.reddit.com.

I dream of the day when I can finally ditch both for good and just use Lemmy.

Making sure there’s no gaps around your HVAC air filter is a good start. Air should only flow through the filter. I like to put duct tape around the sides of of it, forming a seal around the grill so that no air leaks around the sides. Buy one with a MERV rating of 9-12 to minimize dust and pollution. Don’t go any higher than that (and avoid HEPA) unless you don’t mind a higher power bill and slightly more stress on your system.

During the times of the year when you’re not running A/C or heat, change the fan setting from “Auto” to “Circulate” so that it clicks on for a few minutes every hour or so. This will help keep the air clean.

If your air quality is really bad, you can always suppliment your HVAC system with a dedicated air purifier. You don’t need anything fancy or expensive; a box fan with 4 HEPA filters taped to it is among the cheapest and most effective ways to clean the air.
