Geez. I seed until I upload twice what I downloaded. Am I a stingy bastard?
There were always three topics that would start a fight on Reddit:
I feel like this one goes in the third bucket. Be better than Reddit, Lemmy.


I’ve been using Aurora which is an immutable distro based on Fedora. It’s from the same guys who do Bazzite. I use it on my work laptop with a discrete Nvidia card. I’ve had zero issues with the video driver. (I use Bazzite on two desktop and a laptop at home, all with Nvidia cards).
I really like these universal blue distro because on the odd occasion that I have an issue after an update, I can reboot into a pinned working version of the system. There are only a couple of CLI commands to learn to pin and unpin the different systems. All currently available systems appear on the grub menu. It’s kind of brilliant IMO.
Only downside is that installing RPM packages isn’t recommended, but I’ve found pretty much everything I need through flathub. I have one RPM package installed for VeraCrypt (no flatpak and it doesn’t work right in a container) but it hasn’t caused any issues for me.
Edit: I should say I can’t speak to the ongoing driver issues on the 50 series cards. The newest card I own is an RTX 3080 LHR 12 GB.
These kinds of posts always give me anxiety that someone would take a magic marker to their cat for fake Internet points.



I’ve had a regular issue on Linux for months where Firefox gets into a state where every open tab crashes when I interact with it (or the tab crashes immediately if I open a page in a new tab). Restart would fix it for a while, then the problem would come back. Started evaluating LibreFox last week and have been problem free so far. If it doesn’t do anything weird, I may make it my new daily driver.


And not with anyone at Hasbro that Larian worked with, because Hasbro fired them all.


Huh. First time I saw this post, I figured it was bait. I’m pretty sure I was subbed to a couple communities on hexbear. Occurred to me today when I encountered this post again that I’d not seen any hexbear content for a while. Turns out my instance has it blocked. Not sure if it’s for technical reasons or moderation reasons. Does that go in the mod log or somewhere?
It happened again tonight. 
Yeah! For a few glorious moments, the Shadow-Cursed Lands were alive with color. :D


So they’re reintroducing a feature in 2025 that they added to Firefox in 2010 and subsequently removed in 2013. Such progress. Much wow.


Fantastic development. I got the “last year’s” model of a Lenovo Legion gaming laptop for work a few years ago bc it was one of the few affordable models that I could find at the time with a second m.2 slot. Expandable memory was a nice bonus. Love the keyboard, too. Been really happy with it. I run Kinoite on it.


Can’t spell “copilot” without “cop”.


Kay’s Butter Pecan. I don’t think you can get it anymore.
They eventually walked back what caused the recent controversy but they’ve been losing user goodwill for years. https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/03/mozilla-rewrites-firefoxs-terms-of-use-after-user-backlash/


Dunno. Let’s look at Wikipedia.

And so many more.


I remember TNT used to show the later seasons of Angel, which were originally 16:9, cropped to 4:3 and then stretched back to 16:9. 🤮
Please leave the original aspect ratio alone. Also fuck AI.


Launch availability sucks as usual, too. Thought I had an XFX from NewEgg until I got the “voided due to insufficient stock” email. Thanks for wasting my morning, NewEgg.
Edit: Also, opting me in to an email newsletter on the occasion of me placing an order that was subsequently voided due to lack of stock is a next level dick move.


Ask them why they don’t keep their toilet in their living room. 😆
Smart design. They get to see outside the fence but they can’t bark while their snouts are in the snout holes.
