No sorry I’m homophobic

Scientology might yet get a way out just because they are a religion legally.

Fractional scaling isn’t available and neither is per-monitor refresh rate. Windows drag at a different refresh rate than the monitor and it is jarring. Additionally everything is really small on my big monitor. As soon as Wayland support is added I’m going to install mint, but for now I just can’t stand those downsides.

Mint is so nice! I would really like to use it but I just can’t deal with using xorg as I have multiple monitors and they are different sizes.

The closest thing we have is the proton issues page where such things can be tested by the community and if a fix is found it will be made available in the next experimental version for everyone by default. The problem with a community patch system is that the issues that most games experience that have issues are deeper than just new launch options or the like. It would require a code change, and this would mean downloading a new version of proton for every game you have a community patch for, which will fill up a lot of space quickly. The ones that do just require a launch option or the like this would be useful for though, it’s just that proton is so good these days there aren’t all that many games that can be fixed so simply, else they likely would have been fixed by default.

Even those can be hard to follow sometimes, I prefer obscure threads on generic Linux forums from 8 years ago where available.

There’s WebKit and KHTML based ones, although I don’t know of any mainstream browsers that use those aside from safari or iOS. Other niche options exist for Linux.

Will that maintenance be carried out when needed for over a thousand years?

I was reading this and I was like damn, I’m perfect for a startup until I got to the last paragraph where it said to be lazy and I realized I am just lazy and dumb. I will be making a startup.

Zero chance this is still around in a thousand years. Just too damn long. He’ll I’d be surprised if any of our current societies or cultures still exist then.

I can’t wait for the rebirth of the demotivational poster!

I think the most practical thing to do about it is to find a way to warn the societies after us of the danger, and then ride out what’s left of modern society. It’s proven it won’t change.

 

Title. I remember community flairs from the red betrayer and they where immensely useful to me to determine info about others configurations etc. are they something lemmy has discussed adding? If not why?

I have been convinced to switch from apple, and i am soon purchasing a pixel 7 pro. I would then like to put a custom rom on it because i would:

  1. like to use foss more
  2. like to maintain better privacy than apple offers
  3. would enjoy the control over the system
  4. not like to ever touch google chrome

There are some limitations to what i can choose though, as i need the following to work:

  1. google apps like sheets/docs/classroom/youtube
  2. banking app (usaa specifically)
  3. play store (could be replaced)

Additionally i would like to keep the flashy camera stuff google talks about with the camera as i use the camera a fair bit. I have also heard that androids can have different UIs, so i would appreciate a nice looking one (i use gnome on my desktop for this reason alone). What ROMs would you guys recommend i choose?

 

I am considering creating my own lemmy instance as my current instance (lemmy.world) is often down, and I enjoy this kind of a project. That being said I haven’t been able to find any resources on hw needed for this? If I have a raspberry pi 4b 8g with 128gb is that enough for just me using it? Do I need to pay for a cloud server to host it? How can federation work if I only have <10 users tops? Anything else I might need to know?

 

I am currently an IOS user, however, as the title suggests, I wish to switch to android. This is because I would prefer to use free software and not be locked into the apple ecosystem. That being said I am already locked into apple and would like to know how anyone else here has managed the switch.

I for one know I will face problems regarding group chats with friends and family on IOS, I will lose out on iCloud+ features, I will have to buy a replacement for my HomePod, I will need to replace apple home, etc.

How did anyone else here who has made such a switch replace or solve these issues?
