Here's a regular reminder that âThe IDF shoots unarmed people at a safe distance for sport." is not a new development and not a â however pathological â âresponse" to Oct 7, but has been the certified finding of a formal UN enquiry into the massacres at Gaza's March of Return years earlier. You might want to search for â42 knees in a dayâ if you are reluctant to believe it.
A #Haaretz investigation revealed today that the army issued instructions to deliberately shoot Palestinians near aid distribution centers. Although we know this, the report includes terrifying testimonies. One soldier who stood out to me said: " #Gaza is no longer of interest to anyone. It has become a place with its own laws. The killing of people there is nothing, not even an 'unfortunate incident,' as they once said."

I think Bibi is much more evil than Hitler. From what I have read we were told a lot of lies about Hitler to give the Jews much more power and now we are able to see the consequences @ija chouf đ(
Much of the problem with the history of the Jews during WWII is that you cannot look at it or form an opinion on anything without being accused of being anti-Semitic. A strange term given that the Nazis coined it to not say anti-Jewish. What is a Semite? Most people have no idea but they are terrified of being anti that. Much of what the Germans did was wrong but much of it did not happen. I was shocked when I stayed in Krakow and was constantly approached by touts wanting to take me to Auschwitz. The tourist industry around it is disgusting. Most of the photos you see are taken when the western forces arrived. We knew what it was and where it was so at the end of the war we avoided the camps as we knew they would hold up the advance. The Germans working there ran away when the advance came to the area so all food etc. stopped. So a couple of months later when we went back to liberate the camps they had not recieved any food for a couple of months. Was it the Germans that had not fed them for a couple of months or the western forces? That does not make it right but also look at a plan of the camp before it was destroyed. There were swimming pools and a theatre. The gas chamber that you are shown is a bomb shelter not a gas chamber. None of this makes anything OK but to discuss such things is portrayed as evil. The picture we have is not true but a painting of something evil designed to emphasise the evil rather than to acurately depict it.
@Trocatintas As were most of the camps given that the programme was originally designed for Poles. The sign you see above the entrance is "Arbeit Macht Frei" ("work makes one free") and at the start of the war they invaded Poland and their propaganda made out the Poles were lazy. The Polish economy is overtaking Germany at the moment so there is some irony there. However, I 100% accept that I should have said "allied" forces. I hope that one day you will find it in your heart to forgive me and accept that as a human I sometimes make mistakes.
I have a book "The American Nazi Secrets" which tells a lot of truth about WW2 and how the war was financed and who controlled everything. It's not easy to read but it's very interesting and contains genuine documents that have been hidden from the general public.

NHS midwives have been trained by a trans workshop that promotes male breastfeeding, The Telegraph can reveal.
The Queer Birth Club runs âLGBTQ+â competency and lactation classes, using the tag line âbirthing people ainât all womenâ.
The group has provided training sessions for NHS England and a number of trusts across the UK, and its founder has given talks at the Royal College of Midwives (RCM).
One nurse who raised concerns about the training is now facing disciplinary action.
Domperidone, the drug commonly used to stimulate lactation [in men], was not intended for this purpose, but is prescribed off-label by doctors. Janssen, which manufactures the drug, has recommended against it because of possible side effects to a babyâs heart.
@GrannyASBO @FlickThe other thing, not mentioned here, is that it isn't merely about the validation feelz for these filthy perverted scum of the earth it is pedo stuff as well. That is why they do it. These fuckers and their demented enablers need taken out and shot!
@HebrideanHecate @GrannyASBO Is this for real?! The NHS is going along with men lactating through chemical enhancement with risk to the infant?! Who is the infantâs advocate?
Can't get over how we're being asked to pretend "Death, death to the IDF" is some kind of hate crime at the exact same time IDF soldiers are telling the Israeli press they're being ordered to massacre starving civilians at aid sites.

I never really see hardware lacking Linux support mentioned, which got me caught by surprise when a computer with a Broadcom network card couldn't use the card. What other hardware don't work with Linux?
Many cheap chinese web cameras from non know brands,really problematic to make work printers which older from 2015 for example canon ,Lexmark cause they use proprietary communication protocols and thus drivers for inux or exist in shitty state which would not work on modern system but worked on Ubuntu from 2012 or not driver not exist at all and so on other very specific type of devices
I remember the old ADSL modems where effectively winmodems. I had to keep a Windows ME machine as my household router until the point the community had reversed engineered them enough to get them working on Linux.
At least they where usb based rather than some random card. I think the whole driver could work in user space.
I started thinking "Oh I wish I could transition to Linux, away from Windows, but what about the latest hardware or random gadget?"
The trick is to flip the question around, namely not "Does my current hardware work with Linux?" but rather "Am I sure my next hardware work well with Linux BEFORE I buy it?" then this remove 99% of headaches. It's typically 1 Web search away from either a lot of complaints or positive feedback... or not much, and then it's up to you to see if you are ready for an adventure. If there is not much but there is some standard interface, e.g. Bluetooth, and no need for a proprietary application, it's nearly sure the main features will work. If a proprietary application is needed, then safer to avoid.
So.... yes maybe surprisingly a LOT of hardware does work well with Linux!
What does not work for me, to give a random example, is the LED controller of my desktop case, which I bought several years ago while Windows was still my main OS. I didn't put a lot of effort into it, cf gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/Ope⊠but the recent article posted on this instance, namely lemmy.ml/post/32389687 makes me want to give it another go at some point!
Broadcom, as you've discovered. That's the one brand that I've always had trouble with; they go out of their way to be closed source: never publishing specs, never responding to developers. They're horrible to the point where I will not buy any product that uses Broadcom chips. Which used to be a PITA because they were also common.
Fingerprint readers, in general, also widely seem to be poorly supported.
One of my computers has a MediaTek wireless chip where WiFi isn't supported but Bluetooth does.
A lot of people have problems with NVidia cards; I've not had trouble with either AMD or Intel GPUs (although, I think all Intel GPUs are CPU integrated?).
Multifunction printers are still iffy, and even just plain printers can give grief; I've come to believe that this is simply because CUPS is ancient and due for a completely new, modern printing service. It's an awful piece of software to have to work with.
My experience with Brother was also good, until it got tipped during a move and came out simply covered in toner. We don't really need a new printer, but I'd buy another Brother LaserJet in a heartbeat.
I bought a new one recently. Apparently they're doing a subscription thing now, so look closely at which model you're buying. But other than that, it works just the same as my old one.
We have a wireless Brother laser MFP from 2-3 years ago that just works. I needed to scan something for the first time a few weeks ago and started to go down to rabbit hole of the official driver package but then I decided to give "scanimage" a try and it just found the scanner.
Hmm, I run an Arc GPU at work without any issues. Just using plain mesa on NixOS. The Intel devs were quite responsive when we ran into issues as well.
I've run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia on linux and I would say my intel experience was by far the best. I use an a380 in my server for transcoding, and I had an a750 in my desktop but switched to a b580. AMD gets the graphics stuff right, but intel does the graphics and compute right on linux where AMD ROCM is a major pain in the ass. It may not be great if you do tons of gaming, but it works quite well for me.
I have spent literal hours of my life trying to get the fingerprint reader on a latitude 7400 to work and i just gave up lol. Passwords are underrated anyway.
Cups is so much better then everything printer related that is available for Windows and it works so good that even Apple was not able or willing to create something on their own and are using it their OS on all devices. Yes, the web interface is dated but nearly every Desktop comes with a modern integrated interface for printer setup and configuration. It is ages that I had to use the web interface. Cups comes with a boatload of printer drivers out of the box. And if not then there are often PPD files on the homepage of the printer manufacturer.
Multifunction printers are a special case and if they are supported or not depends either on how the device is build (are the parts addressable Independently as printer, scanner, modem/Fax) or is it all a integrated mashup that needs special software or drivers from the manufacturer. In the first case can the printer part often be used with cups and the scanner with sane. Well in the second case there is not much that Linux developers can do without support and goodwill from the manufacturer.
I think that's because Yubikey handles the fingerprint reader part, not Linux, right? As far as Linux goes, it's a black box security fob - but I might be wrong about that.
Indeed hence my warning. I'm only sharing this alternative because in practice it works and it's secure (AFAIK).
Edit :
black box security fob
IMHO that's a feature, namely I do not want to OS to mess with this specific part of my setup. I do also have NitroKeys and FPGAs to tinker with but that's different. FWIW if there is an OSHW&FLOSS alternative to the YubiKey Bio please do share.
Yeah, I wasn't saying it was bad; I meant only that Linux didn't have to worry about device drivers for it, because the fob handles reading the fingerprint chip.
I have been fine with both Canon and Lexmark and also a Brother unit that someone in my family owns that their new Win11 machine refused to talk to; I opened up my ASUS t-pad with Ubuntu and printed in five seconds.
But yeah CUPS has actually caused many a headache to the point that Iâve disabled it on some units.
CUPs is simply ancient. It's due for an overhaul; I keep expecting someone to come along and Poettering it, only I'd hope without also making it take over cron jobs and logging.
Iâm not Linux-savvy enough to understand everything you said lol. But Iâm glad at least that I donât have to rely on CUPS I just have two printers with static IPs so itâs easy-breezy George and 'Weezy.
On the peripheral end, ElGato. You can usually get their stuff to work but they provide little to no support, usually have issues to work out, and you'll always be relying on third party replacements for their software.
I got a stream deck plus with the xlr dock, since even though I quit content creation I like what it provides and have no reason to downgrade my mic, but the thing has been a headache and a half ever since I switched to cachyOS.
If you mean interoperability there is libimobiledevice.org/ but honestly compared to what KDE Connect can offer with Android phones it's just ... lame.
libimobiledevice is a software library that talks the protocols to support iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Apple TV devices running iOS on Linux without the need for jailbreaking.
If you have a GTX 10xx card or later, their are virtually no issue with Wayland anymore. I have two PC with nvidia cards and had almost 0 issue with gnome plasma and hyprland in the last two years.
I've had mixed experiences myself. Sometimes it works, sometimes it randomly breaks. I just wouldn't recommend it to someone who wants it to "just work" and be stable and not do maintenance. For me, I'm someone who's happy to do maintenance, but I don't want that to extend to my graphics card, which in this day and age ought to just work.
The touchpad in the Lenovo 300e is not supported; although the touchscreen does work. I use mouse which is fine most of the time, but it would be nice if the touchpad would be supported one day.
I had an issue with an old Lenovo X260 laptop. The onboard bluetooth device was showing as not being present if the wireless device was loaded. I could have one or the other, but not both. BT/Wifi was being supplied by the same M.2 card, so as soon as a module loaded (the wireless loaded first I guess) it prevented it from being used by another module. I'm not sure if there was an actual fix to that, though. I had a spare USB bluetooth dongle so I just ran that instead.
There's this printer that I wanna use for my job but when I went through the process of connecting it the driver wasn't listed among the massive amount of options. So I gotta print using a work computer instead of my laptop đȘ
Probably not the kind of hardware you're thinking of but I have an old Roland synthesizer, an Edirol SD-90, that did not work on Linux. Now, I didn't expect it to given the hoops I had to jump through just to get it to work on modern windows. So Linux seemed out of the question already. But can be a big deal depending on what you use your computer for.
Ah I see, haven't been on "stable" distros for a long time so I wasn't affected. I've enjoyed the good support and the video stuff is definitely nice. On the AMD side, still no idea how to encode or decode anything on my Framework 16, meanwhile Intel is acing it.
So far I've been playing with Linux on my old work laptop and they've been playing together nicely. Almost everything else about the laptop? No. But hey at least graphics works.
A common issue with those hybrid graphics is that it simply doesn't switch and only uses one. Are you sure you're not just using either integrated graphics or your dedicated GPU all the time?
That was a nightmare I'll never recover from. That laptop is now running windows 11. It's what made me promise myself to never ever touch Nvidia ever again. I'm now all Red on my desktop and life is so much better.
Similar story here. I had a laptop running nVidia/Intel dual graphics for a few years and it was so fucking finicky. Primusrun this, optirun that. Ugh. Once upon a time, whenever I heard the word Optimus, I thought of transforming trucks with laser guns. Hearing that same word now puts me in a fetal position.
To any GeForce owners that are considering going Linux full time: do a test run first and see how it works out, because nVidia support on Linux is spotty at best.
Internal HDMI capture cards are barely supported, there are some professional brands like blackmagic that have support but nearly all consumer grade capture cards are not supported at all, because the companies who make them don't care about Linux.
USB based capture cards often work because they use the same standard protocols as USB cameras.
Yeah I got a USB wifi dongle that's a bit tricky. It doesn't work out of the box in most distros but there is drivers for it that do work, fairly well.
I replaced a Realtek one because it constantly dropped connections. Luckily, this was one of the type of fixes that actually turned out to be easier than it looked.
Anybody ever get Winmodems to work or did they all give up on it?
Back in the day, it was hard enough getting dialup internet working on Linux (especially before you had internet in your pocket, so you had to print out HowTos or write down a bunch of notes before you tried to do it).
But it was downright impossible with a class of modems that was designed essentially as a softmodem, heavily reliant on closed-source firmware and drivers, making them practically impossible to work on Linux.
voice actor, artist, and musician. My main concern is recording software and to a lesser extent, art software
Even if you are not based in Brussels where we have resonance-mao.be/ you might have a local equivalent, namely open source and open hardware music enthusiast and profesisonals who meet monthly at least to learn and jam. They know this domain a lot more than I do. There are a LOT of software for all that but I wouldn't go as far as advising you. That said yes it mostly likely will require a bit of re-training. Still IMHO you have done the hardest, namely you understand the concepts behind what the tools do. The interface will be different but how it is actually done should be the same. My advice is to find "your people" and discover together.
Regarding hardware Mint is based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian. I have an NVIDIA GPU and I play (and work) with it daily. Sometimes sleep/resume is buggy but pretty much never ever while actually working or playing. Regarding the Webcam, it's not super convenient but until it gets supported (hopefully) you might have to rely on an external camera.
external cam haha. I use the laptop cam daily to video call family
I actually did that on desktop recently and I enjoy being able to unplug and physically remove it as I don't use it daily. Same for the large external microphone, it's only on my desk when I'll have meetings planed. Maybe you could also use a mobile phone as camera.
Anyway kudos on leaving Google! It's a great step.
My two biggest issues have been HDR and simulation hardware.
It's been a good few years since I've tried it but every time I've tried HDR my saturation just gets cranked to 11 and it looks like those nature photos that are edited to hell and back. Not sure why, and I've heard other people got it working so idk. I think it's just the Nvidia drivers doing their thing and not working.
But controllers for flight and racing Sims are the biggest headache to get working. And then when you do get them working you'll have issues with games running well and detecting them (I think this is actually due to proton/lutris), issues with force feedback, issues with the various buttons and sliders that aren't the primary axis. And then, after you spend hours getting them to work, it'll just break again the next time you want to play. My sims and FPS games are the only reasons I still have a windows install.
About 10% of the hardware in my 2016 MacBook Pro. Twice I've tried to install Debian on that Satan spawn using various gists online, and each time I ended up deciding it wasn't worth the time
Every other piece of hardware I've tried in the past works without fail, that MacBook irks me.
Depends. If you have a 32bit CPU, app support is surprisingly much worse on Linux than on Windows. While the kernel and core systems still support 32bit, there are a ton of apps that are only offered for 64bit Linux while 32bit Windows support is still available. One example: Anything running on Electron.
Racing wheels lacks Linux support. It's the biggest, actually only, reason why I'm dualbooting with Windows.
I've been trying to get my Thrustmaster TX to work on Linux Mint but no success so far. I'm still a little bit newbie with Linux so that might be the reason why my wheel doesn't work (yet).
Hardware # NVIDIA WIRED VR ISSUES: Nvidia proprietary drivers currently have a critical issue with DRM lease causing substantial presentation latency for wired VR headsets, resulting in a delayed viewport effect that makes VR uncomfortable.
FWIW because you do so professionally I'd factor in the time you spend too versus buying hardware (e.g. USB dongles) or even laptop, ideally reselling the old one. I don't know your rate or how much you can buy VAT free or your income at the moment, only that in your context this is also a business decision so you have to consider the ROI of "just" moving on with another hardware, selling the old one and with the time earned (if work is available) get another paid task instead of tinkering.
Often the hotkeys on laptops for screen brightness, mute, etc will either not work or be wonky, on my HP Elitebook on Debian distros the brightness keys both mute the speakers instead, they work fine on Fedora though.

The British government has "strongly condemned" a live performance on the #BBC by rap duo Bob #Vylan in which the crowd was led through a chant of "Death, death to the #IDF." As you might expect, Zionists are treating this incident like a second Holocaust and rending their garments in outrage. Inside the western empire it's considered offensive and unacceptable to say "death to" a foreign military comprised entirely of armed combatants which is presently committing a #genocide in full view of the entire world. It is not, however considered offensive and unacceptable to commit genocide.
âI heard you want your country back. Ha. Shut the f*** upâ angrily yells Vylan, fresh from calling for âdeath to the IDFâ, to a chanting crowd of white middle-class British liberals excitedly waving their foreign flags. All rather depressing, isnât it?
I note the intense border security at Glastonbury, which far outstrips that of Doverâs. Build bridges, not walls, they cry - apart from around their own filthy little sanctuary.
How so very progressive of them, flying their Palestinian flags - they must all feel so very proud of themselves. Sipping their ÂŁ8 iced lattes, posting on tiktok from the newest iphone. Really revolutionary stuff.
A fatal blow struck against the capitalist system. Well done, everyone.
All broadcast live on the BBC, our ânationalâ broadcaster. Fantastic work from them, as usual.
None of this is Britain. Real Britain. Actual Britain. Decent Britain.
Not the Britain built by generations of hardworking, patriotic British men and women.
Who quite frankly, have had enough. I know I have.
We will all be closely watching, as Lucy Connolly rots in jail, what action the police will take against this revolting man - the precedent has been set.
So, yes Mr Vylan. You heard correctly, we do want our country back.
But no. We will definitely not "shut the fuck up".

My question is basically the title, but here are some more details.
My computer is used about 75% for work, 20% for personal use (almost entirely web), and 5% for gaming. ~2 y.o. midrange rig w/ Intel CPU, AMD graphics, 32GB DDR4 RAM.
For work, I need lots of straightforward things: video conferencing on Teams (web is fine), Zoom, Word document editing (web is fine), a bunch of other web apps, some light database stuff, etc.
Plus two things that are a bit trickier: OneDrive professional/SharePoint (so I'll need abraunegg's onedrive) and Excel 2024 desktop (web isn't good enough) for which I'll need to run Windows (10? Ameliorated, maybe?) in a VM.
But I also want to do gaming. I wouldn't install a kernel-level rootkit anyway (and I boycott Denuvo), so SteamOS-level compatibility should work great for my needs. I also have a Quest 3, so I'll want to do PCVR, which apparently works great (with Bazzite).
But I don't really grok what Bazzite being immutable means for using it as a daily driver for work/productivity. Under the hood, it's just Fedora 42, right? For immutable distros, you use flatpaks instead of apt install, and they're basically just "apps" that should "just work", right? Do I care about kernel modification?
Or, more to the point, I don't know what I don't know. After preliminary research on this all, I think my plan of going for Bazzite then adding abraunegg's onedrive and a Windows VM with Office 2024 will hit all my needs, but can anyone "sanity check" that plan, or compare the pros/cons with a non-Ubuntu-based alternative?
I'm good enough with computers that I should be able to tinker through the inevitable small challenges that will come up, but I don't really have enough time to do it twice if my initial plan is terrible. (I connect to a Debian server remotely using the terminal, so I have some backgroundâbut I needed to install a bunch of packages to get web app software running, and idk if I'll need that as a desktop user.)
Any advice much appreciated! And thanks for reading this far, even if you don't comment. đ
Edit: thanks for the input so far! I'm turning in, but I'll read everything and reply to stuff tomorrow.
Pro of running an immutable distro is that it is much harder to break during daily use. The con is that you're pretty much setup to only use flatpaks and some things like abraunegg's onedrive aren't available as a flatpak.
Have you considered making the ~~Win10~~ Win11 VM a complete work jail? If you do all things work in there then you get a nice separation of private and work and won't have to worry about work apps linux compatibility. edit: Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025
Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025. Upgrade to Windows 11 now to ensure continued security and feature updates. Learn more about the transition.
I was thinking Win 10 EOL won't matter if the VM has no Internet access. Linux would sync the files for me, so the Windows VM can just run Excel (and maybe Word, since I'm setting up Office 2024 anyway) using the files synced by abraunegg's onedrive, so it doesn't need internet access. (Assuming there's a partition format that works well for both Windows and Linux that I can use for onedrive, which I assume is a "solved" problem by nowâi remember this being hard 20 years ago.)
And his package apparently works in Fedora 42 with docker, which I assume should work fine.
But yeah; maybe what you're suggesting makes more sense. And that VM definitely would need web access, then, so Win 10 is a non-starter. The database work I do is likely easier in Linux, but that's likely easy enough to get data files out of the VM for just that work, I would expect.
Another question now comes to mind; I'm going to look this up now; how hard is it to copy/paste between Linux and a VM? Edit: As I'd hoped, this is also apparently a solved problem and sounds easy to configure.
Just something to consider as you're thinking about using a virtual machine for windows; you have enough RAM to comfortably run a linux host with Windows 11 + Debian Stable VMs for work + work db server. I'm allergic to mixing private stuff with work stuff and there's a great thing to be able to shut work down at the end of the day. (Freeing up all your hardware for your private fun at the same time)
Iâm by no means an expert on this, but I have used both Bazzite and Fedora workstation as my exclusive operating systems.
What I would say is that theyâre both perfectly adequate for the tasks you described.
Personally, Iâd say unless you prefer things handed to you, choose Fedora. I donât have a problem with flatpacks, but I missed being able to easily use dnf. At the end of the day, though, there are ways around everything; you can still get what you need done on Bazzite.
In terms of kernel tweaks, etc. I barely noticed any difference in performance between the 2. Keep in mind that this was a relatively modern pc so performance wasnât really an issue that I was looking out for.
Overall though, youâll be fine whatever you choose. I also had to use MS office for work and itâs pretty much the one thing you canât get working on Linux. Youâll have to explore your options for that, I ended moving back to a Mac because of Ableton live đ
The main issue you'll run into is nicher proprietary software being hard to install, but that's what containers are for. The main one I see is if you need to install some proprietary VPN client it gets annoying, but since you'll be running a VM anyway you can do some network trickery. My work's antivirus only works on Ubuntu and RHEL, proprietary kernel modules so it's got to be at least one of those kernels.
Linux is Linux, nothing's impossible to solve even with Bazzite's immutability. Worst comes to worst you make your own images and it's not that hard, you basically just fork it on GitHub and let the CI do its thing.
But do you have time to fiddle to make it work and take the risk, or do you want to play it safe? How confident are you with Bazzite's more advanced topics?
The main one I see is if you need to install some proprietary VPN client it gets annoyingf
You're right. I have a crappy work-supplied Windows laptop that has exactly that installed. It would be nice not to need to boot into that when I need to work on the server from home, but it's not a deal breaker.
No other specific non-web-based software is needed for work, aside from the aforementioned OneDrive and Excel 2024.
Edit: Your last paragraph is exactly what I'm asking about; I'm capable of doing slightly involved tinkering, but it would need to be something that I can Google Fu through each step of someone walking through most of the steps. I don't know it at all well enough to go completely "off script" and just tinker with confidence.
It sounds like you're suggesting that going for something mainstream and getting it to work for games is likely a better option, particularly for someone with limited Limits experience?
Debian is far from being a mainstream workstation distro.
Debian is/was a very good server distro but there are lots of good alternatives to debian nowadays which may be much better for someones usecase. Debian is not the ultima ratio.
