I’ve recently had so many random freezes of the system, hangs on shutdown, panics on shutdown, freezes in system updates, that hard reset became a thing I did several times a day. Yet there were no systemd logs, nothing in dmesg, literally zero information on what happened.

I was skeptical in blaming Nvidia because at this point it became a Linux chiche, but then I started to switch to integrated graphics (disabling dGPU) and all of the problems miraculously went away.

I’ve upgraded to Pixel 7 last year to run GrapheneOS. Honestly it was a very underwhelming upgrade. My 2019 Oneplus 7T is still kicking running LineageOS, could go back any second and not notice.

Recently went on Reddit and laughed hysterically at the amount of religious propaganda I saw in this format. Example:

It’s Monocraft, monospaced version of Minecraft font, makes me very nostalgic. First tried it for fun and giggles, but it stuck

Pretty simplistic, but I really like it :)

• Arch
• Hyprland
• Lots of dracula

Wow are you talking cybertrucks with spiked stainless©️ steel wheels??

There’s a larger problem though, Google both owns and controls AOSP. Of course, chances of them making it closed or introducing their proprietary services into it are extremely small, but they still are the captain who steers the ship.

If they’ll decide to embed AI (in some open source form), many derivatives like Graphene and LOS may have to suck it and follow through as the more you change your fork away from source code, the harder it becomes to maintain for small team of enthusiast devs.

Is there additional reading I can do on the topic? I’ve googled but found nothing but concerns from Nato officials that Russia could engage in seabed sabotage. This comment is universally praised so I guess it’s some universal knowledge I missed. What are some instances when they did it?

Some of you might find it peculiar, similar movements to Sovereign Citizens exist in many other countries, but they take different shapes depending on local cultural context.

For instance, in Russia there is a movement called “Citizens of USSR” who claim that since Boris Yeltsin in the 90s had no constitutional rights to change the name of the country from “Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic” to “Russian Federation” (which is actually correct, he didn’t, not that it stopped him though), this change has never legally taken place, and “Russian Federation” is a placeholder corporation that occupies legally Soviet space. Why this can’t be applied to RSFSR/USSR itself being “illegally” established on top lf 1917 Russian Republic, is a mystery.

Citizens of USSR even issue their own passports, however, their goals are exact same with Sovereign Citizens - tax evasion, ignoring traffic rules, and driving without a license.

It really amazes me how some people balance out almost definite intellectual underdevelopment with an ability to form and write absolutely coherent sentences. It seems that one should exclude the other, but no.

The amount of people in the comments not understanding why open buds are relevant to some people / the concept of earbuds overall is quite funny. I guess there’s some truth in stereotypical Lemmy user rarely showing up outside 🙃

I’m sorry, but did you… read my comment?

I didn’t say clicking is power user, I said that you assessing features in terms of speed (“Is hovering faster than clicking?”) is a power user approach. It’s deeper than just bare speed and accessibility features are not developed to provide physically faster experience, but one that is more comfortable for some group of users.

Hovering preview does not even take ability to click through tabs away, but could provide comfort for a user who is not as browser proficient, for the reasons I outlined above.

I think it’s much easier to have more than to have less. Most people I encounter have such a mess of pages in their browser, makes my hair stand on end. If we continue to approach this as an accessibility feature, it starts to make even more sense since tons of users have so many tabs they only see icons, not page names

Again, in my opinion you approach the problem like a power user. Using a browser is not a speedrun where every millisecond matters. Here is why I think it provides more comfort to an average user:

• No need to divert attention and look around the monitor. When you’re not well versed with a mouse, it’s easier to click and look at the same place
• Nothing distracts you unlike when you click through pages. Imagine going from dark theme page to a light theme page, the entire screen suddenly lights up
• Depending on the way it is implemented (perhaps by keeping compressed page screenshots?), it might be faster to show a preview than to render the page again on a weak machine

I think many people in the comments suffer from some version of curse of knowledge.

Sure, this feature us quite irrelevant for a power user who is quick to navigate the browser and needs a split second to remember what tab it is simply by reading the header and seeing the icon.

However, many less proficient people can benefit from this feature. Not once I saw how someone who has 10 tabs open and needs to go to a different webpage, starts meticulously clicking through every single one of them because they have no idea how the page they are looking for is called, they are too overwhelmed by using web as a whole to take notice.

Yep, that’s exactly why in the end of my comment I say that I currently believe a combination of Github+Discord to be best. Github for bug reporting, Discord if you want to socialize with the community, that’s what it does best

Can’t you do everything you’ve listed on github though? Report bugs on issues tab, ask questions on discussions tab, following up is easy. Everything is also indexed by search engines and can be looked up later on.

While I understand why FOSS community hates Discord, I don’t know an alternative that is better at everything.

Discord’s main problems:

• Not FOSS / Privacy respectful
• Hard/Impossible to index/search for data and organize tech support

However alternatives we have are not ideal either:

1. Old-school web forums
   • Great for info archival / organized tech support
   • Separate accounts for every one of them, different sets of newsletters / email notifications. Basically, to efficiently be active on several forums you have to manually log in to each on regular basis and check what’s new
   • Due to slower pace of communication, it’s harder to just log in and “hang out” with community, everybody is more of a pen pal.

2. FOSS messaging applications (e.g. Matrix since that’s what most use)
   • Info archival is even worse then on Discord. Every time I tried to search for anything useful on Matrix I would give up due to poor results and HUGE delays for every search
   • Because most communities use a single Matrix chat, it’s a huge disorganized mess for any communication and tech support. There’s often 2-3 concurrent conversations in a single room and some just stop abruptly due to it getting confusing to keep up
   • it’s FOSS and Private, though

Feel free to downvote me for this, but I think that Github for support & issue tracking and Discord for community hang out spot is currently the lesser evil approach until better Foss tools arrive

Yes because every smartphone is a Pixel, apparently

I’ve been avoiding drafts right because it’s not just building a deck but doing it in seconds on the go seems like much more stressful idea haha.

I’m afraid I’m gonna pick something completely unplayable, with screwed manabase and will sit through the entire game with nothing to cast D:
