That’s funny! If someone was trying to infect my PC via e-mail, I would expect them to be sending pdf files.

Also check out ELKS for your even older CPUs.

I hear this as often as I hear “jalapeno” (missing the eñe) 😑

Look, if he was dying, he wouldn’t bother to type “aarrggh”. He’d just say it!

No problem. I think in my case only Wine/Proton games were doing it and native Linux games were fine. I shake my fist at Nvidia and carry on. 😂

Try this setting: Display Configuration > Screen tearing: Allow in fullscreen windows. Whatever it’s set to, try the other setting. I had a similar issue once and this fixed it. The issue came back a long time later and switching it again fixed it. 🤷‍♂️

It’s a difficult issue to pin down. I’ve also read about video stuttering while trying to stay synched to pipewire audio which is having buffer underruns, even if your audio sounds fine. To check the audio buffer, you install and run pw-top and then watch it while you are having the video problem.

A weatherman saying it went viral ~9 years ago, if anyone wants to hear the pronunciation:

Sorry, I was not trying to put words in your mouth. I just usually hear, “Linux not good for me because it doesn’t support my setup well enough” when it should be “Linux not good for me because the manufacturers of my hardware don’t support Linux well enough”. Trying to put blame where it belongs in hopes of raising awareness to both users and manufacturers.

I also mistakenly thought you mentioned a newer Nvidia card when you are considering AMD. 🤦‍♂️ Good luck in your computing future!

It’s not the fault of the creators of an operating system that Nvidia refuses to write comparable drivers. Nvidia are the only ones with the technical knowledge of the GPU’s internals that is necessary to write the 100% functional driver. Open-source Nouveau drivers exist but are less functional because of this, its programmers have to try to reverse-engineer and do a lot of guesswork and testing, and for free.

Basically: If you value FOSS software at all, buy from manufacturers that are friendlier to FOSS software, or you may unknowingly lock yourself out of it.

Edit: Buying newer (especially of Nvidia) is probably a bad idea if you intend to run Linux. Older cards have had more time for them to fix the inevitable bugs. I run a GTX980Ti 😅 with the closed-source drivers on an Arch-based system and I’m honestly surprised a video driver update hasn’t seriously broken anything yet.

In the USA, Section 230 protections are going away in 2027 so that should finish off any remaining forums.

The “vulnerability” was only that F-Droid wasn’t keeping up with their builds, leaving everyone who installed it from F-Droid out-of-date, during a period of known Firefox bugs being exploited.

I don’t know what all this talk of css hacks and add-ons is about… Alt, View, Sidebar, Bookmarks.

Appease “the Base” and “own the libs”. Drive a deeper wedge and call it freedom and unity.

This isn’t normal.

That goes without saying… another user here says the drive can’t be larger than 8GB but I’m fairly certain I tried that, too.

Edit: 4GB FAT32 worked. It may have a 4GB limit. On a brand new multifunction business printer/copier/scanner.

“Abortion debate” and all other culture warfare is only to keep the masses busy fighting each other so they don’t engage the rich in class warfare.

My Canon photo printer can be converted to a tank-style with a drill and a highly illegal cartridge resetter. 😂

I heard Brother was good, then I spent way too long formatting different USB sticks in different cluster sizes and formats, and never got ours to work with any of them. Don’t buy Brother if you want that feature, either.

Only reasons I can think of are time and money. We sadly lost DivestOS and their projects… How about software patents, which of course are bullshit; but even illegitimate threats can ruin small businesses and lone programmers who don’t have the time and money to defend themselves.

Aye, mate!
