Hmmm, strange. I guess you could try ProtonUp-Qt and inject GE’s newest Proton in and see if that works. Also, there are some games that wouldn’t run for me until I installed the Steamworks Common Redistributables from the tools page in my library. Threw me off recently because I swear that the last time I was on Arch those autoinstalled after switching my compatibility over to Proton.

Big corp facts.

Mullvad, (the vpn, I have not tried the browser) uses a single account number as both name and password, no emails. It allows for multiple anonymous payment methods and it’s open source.

Sliiiiightly more trustworthy than Google imo.

As a (currently) CachyOS user, I would like to point out that their custom mirrors don’t always reflect the newest version of packages, too. So if your package has a bug you may have to wait an extra day or two for it to reflect the fixed version after it drops. That or manually install the git.

Just make love with Timeshift and for the love of god don’t use topgrade if you don’t know what you’re doing. Thankfully, because of rule number one, Timeshift told me the topgrade nightmare was over and tucked me back into bed with a glass of warm milk and a bedtime story.

Thankfully compiling on Windows was as easy as searching for a guide online. When I switched to CachyOS there was also a package in the AUR that seems well maintained.

I like that LibreSprite exists though. I wonder if it can use Aseprite’s extensions. I might have to check it out just to see.

Once my financial situation is settled I do want to pay. Aseprite is an amazing tool and the devs deserve my money at this point. They don’t ask much and still keep it available to compile for free. That’s real marketing, imo.

We’re that one cousin no one talks about.

Lemmy is far from perfect, but so is Reddit, and Reddit is falling further every day. Some users on Lemmy have a bad time because they come barrelling in without reading instance tags, pick an instance name they think is cool, and suddenly find themselves on the front lines of a massive drama war and slapped with tags they didn’t even know existed… I know from experience.

So then they’ll run off back to Reddit without reading and actually finding the right instance and start screaming how bad it is. Couple that with Reddit trying to hush everything Lemmy and doctoring their platform to make it look bad… yeah.

I’ll admit I still use Reddit from time to time because there are communities that don’t exist here yet that are actually good communities staying out of this battle. But you can bet your ass I use RedReader and uBO to do it. The moment Reddit started charging exorbitant API fees and peddling NFTs I cut my use back by 90%.

So pick your poison: Do a little research and find the right instance and communities or live as the product and run around with the blinders they give you. Its literally a red pill blue pill deal.

Gives a whole new meaning to “hide yo kids”.

I also vape 0 nicotine, but I’m trying to wind down flavor too. Back in the early days of vaping, it was more often than not the flavoring that was causing a lot of health problems. I remember specifically that some cinnamon, grape, and butter flavors would cause popcorn lung. They’ve since been removed, but pretty scary nonetheless. I still avoid those flavors as a rule of thumb.

If I do have to order flavoring, I go through a site that provides all the MSDS chemical documentation for each flavor. Even then, these “safe” flavors still have skin irritation warnings. Not to mention if you sweeten your juices or buy sweet juices, its more than likely using sucralose, which in high intakes can also promote cancer. I’ve dived pretty deep into this because I’ve been making my own ejuice for nearly 8 years. Hell, I still have 5 gallons of 100mg nicotine I’m not using in my freezer (bought just before it was illegal to sell nicotine online).

The tube is interesting though, because this same site sells purely natural flavorings. Could be a nice alternative for vaping addicts. I still avoid disposables like the plague. I’ve tried one and the amount of flavoring and sucralose you need to achieve that flavor is more unhealthy than the extremely high nicotine. If they make someone who’s been vaping for 11 years sick to the stomach, you can bet they are the worst you can get for vapes.

I hear you. I have spent a while going down the rabbit hole for note apps.

If you want better markdown with sync capabilities, you may be interested in Joplin. It’s very similar to that one app. Though it’s not completely effortless, it is fairly simple. It’s a fairly quick read, too: https://joplinapp.org/help/apps/sync/

Speaking of that app, if you’re interested, there are community plugins through that app that let you sync through cloud services, which would allow you to cut out the Simplenote middleman. Just search for sync in the plugins and it should be the first one. From what I’ve read of Nextcloud, it’s open source and you get 2gb free for a single account.

I ran DVI for quite a while until my friend’s BenQ was weirdly green over HDMI and no amount of monitor menu would fix it. So we traded cords and I never went back to DVI. I ran DisplayPort for a while when I got my 2080ti, but for some reason the proprietary Nvidia drivers (I think around v540) on Linux would cause weird diagonal lines across my monitor while on certain colors/windows.

However, the previous version drivers didn’t do this, so I downgraded the driver on Pop!_OS which was easy because it keeps both the newest and previous drivers on hand. I distrohopped to a distro that didn’t have an easy way to rollback drivers, so my friend suggested HDMI and it worked.

I do miss my HDMI to DVI though. I was weirdly attached to that cord, but it’d probably just sit in my big box of computer parts that I may need… someday. I still have my 10+ VGA cords though!

I get it, but the community is called Funny, not VapingIsGreatForYou. It sorta changes the context of the original comment drastically. Not to mention Vapenation was an old meme that essentially made fun of vapers. I understand you’re trying to help people, but this might be the wrong place for that.

My favorite part of this is that no one really asked you to come out and start judging other people’s vices.

The ones I can vouch for are:

• Aegis Authenticator (I really like Mauth, but I can’t get it to read QR codes).
• Organic Maps
• Wikipedia, but I use WikiReader
• Florisboard and Unexpected Keyboard (My preferences are Heliboard, Flickboard, and Thumbkey, though)
• Acode

My favorites in no particular order:

• Gramophone for my offline music
• RiMusic for my YouTube Music
• Fennec or Iron Fox (Firefox)
• Read You (great RSS reader with bionic reading, fairly new)
• Delta Icon Pack (seriously, this covers almost every icon and looks so good; over 12k icons!)
• Obtainium (app updates straight from github/gitlabs for my favorite apps)
• yetCalc (the only open source calc I’ve found that keeps aspect ratio on folding phones)
• Kvaesitso Launcher (swipe up for all your widgets neatly aligned)
• Droid-ify
• Thunderbird
• PocketPlan (birthdays, shopping lists, goal keeper)
• BetterCounter (tracking habits to keep things like sugar intake low and exercise high, must have for ADHD)
• Voice Audiobook Player
• Syncthing (must have, sync between devices locally on wifi, its too good)
• App Manager (just to look at app permissions)

I also have a bunch of apps that I’m in matrix/discord with, but the devs don’t like people talking about them. The more limelight, the more likely they’ll get taken down. Apps I’ve dug deep to find free solutions to overpriced problems. Unfortunately, my favorite notes app is closed sourced, but you can get pretty close to it with Joplin or Logseq.

I wasn’t able to get this article, unfortunately. I really tried. But you can get many free articles by this author that cover this topic here: https://muckrack.com/ashoka-mody/articles

And they’re more up to date. I’ve never really used this site tbh, but the links forward you to articles that don’t have paywalls, from the few I’ve tested.

This is less of a Linux problem and more of a kernel access problem. Microsoft hinted at shutting down kernel access, but I’ve learned not to hold my breath about anything Microsoft says. Personally, I made the sacrifice. I have plenty of other games I like to play that don’t have kernel-level anticheat.

Well. I mean. Both release dopamine for me anyway.

Why did I start reading this to the tune of YMCA?
