Aand then they broke every one of those mandate messages, just like every other politician does eventually. Rules for thee, not for me - COVID parties, cottaging while others lock down, maskless gatherings. And now recently, selling the Greenbelt off to developers. How ethical! Clearly he is holding all to account.
I was excited to install Linux on my desktop system. Since I’m working from home with my office laptop, I got a displaylink dock that I can easily switch between laptop and desktop....
I’ve been using a displaylink for 3 years now, mostly on Ubuntu and the past 8 months with endeavours/arch, but I don’t have the Nvidia. For me it has been the delicate art of managing updates to the kernel/evdi/displaylink packages. If one gets out of sync, I lose the use of my extra screens. If you want stable, only upgrade any of those three after checking very carefully. Typically I’ve seen displaylink support for the newer kernels lag a little behind, or an evdi update that breaks displaylink until they catch up.
If you’re more adventuresome, you can just learn how to back up to known working versions of those packages that play nicely together until they are in sync again.
What use to be the PPA that allowed Ubuntu users to use native .deb packages for Firefox has recently changed to the same meta package that forces installation of Snap and the Firefox snap package....
I tried so hard to embrace snaps and flatpak. I really did. But the snap service kept bogging down. Installs specifically of Firefox were ponderously slow to start up. And ultimately I ended up with regular installs, PPAs, snaps, and flatpaks all together with their own daemons, update paths, and quirks sucking up my system bandwidth and emotional resources. System was constantly slow. Felt like I was running Windows.
I flipped over to endeavours, really enjoying it. Feels like Ubuntu did in the earlier years. Great support community, lots of choice, but a straightforward path to just using your system if that’s what you’re there for. And the same computer runs a good 25% faster.
I’ve never heard or seen this. Mine has it setup like that to the dock - is there anywhere I can read about this issue? Generally my hardware from Lenovo has been amazing and well supported.
I’m always surprised when people buy the non-thinkpads for work, and then wonder why the break, as they are home use at best. The ideapad and their other line are not commercial grade, definitely avoid. But the ThinkPads are in my experience the best, most rugged made systems on the market
Regardless, if you’re buying the cheapest computer, you’re going to get corners cut. I’ve had my share of HP shortcuts even in their elite book lines, used to buy 150-200 a year for work. They were ok, but the lower models were terrible. This em shielding thing seems weird to me, you’re saying the cables aren’t shielded on their own and interfere with computing equipment: that doesn’t have special shielding? I’ve had my laptop’s open, never seen any shielding from the outside… Just heat shielding from itself really but maybe it’s delicate and tiny?
I might need a help with my first cider brew. I’ve made wine in past it was all based on natural yeast, had my recipe that contained water with whatever berries I was making it....
I moved to endeavours from Ubuntu and absolutely loving it. The arch back-end and simple management options are easy to use of you aren’t afraid of the shell
I have never had a pair of shoes that could last more than a few years. I’ve even paid for expensive shoes that claimed to be super durable and they fell apart faster than a cheap ass $10 pair from Walmart....
I have a pair of Finn comfort shoes that have lasted 20 years. They are well designed to easily have repairs such as resoling, replacement of the cork footed, or other wear points. And they are super comfortable
Who do you consider a Great Author of the last 50 years or so (first well-known work after 1970)? I'd like to get a feel for who's who in modern literature. Any language/culture. Fiction only.
Bonus points for any books you believe are classics from that time period. Any language, but only fiction please....

Any other options for deals on Lemmy? I’m done with Reddit
