@truthbait I do know Marky Mark is a devout Catholic, so itâs no virtue signal. I know you consider it gay, and thatâs fine. I view it not so much as preaching, or spreading the word, but more as a reminder no matter what faith you may be. I know he blesses himself with the sign of the cross, and Sunday being the Christian sabbath, but I donât see it as strictly Christian. I feel like he is promoting a general spirituality, whatever your faith.
@truthbait If I felt it was strictly a Catholic message, I would address it as such, much like I do during Advent or Lent when I greet my fellow NA Catholics.
I just hope anyone who has any sort of Faith would get something out of it. And saying God Bless you as a greeting I view as a more general blessing for everyone, not strictly Christians.

As part of this scramble, in February last year, the EU signed a $900 million deal with Rwanda âto nurture sustainable and resilient value chains for critical raw materials.â Ironically, Rwanda exports more minerals than it does from its own mines. The DRC, the United Nations, and international human rights groups say the bulk of minerals exported by Rwanda are plundered from eastern DRC. Coincidentally, in the immediate aftermath of this EU-Rwanda minerals supply deal, fighting resumed in eastern DRC, peaking in February this year when the Rwanda-backed M-23 rebel group seized control of vast swathes of the area in this mineral-rich part of the country. Rights groups say over 8,500 people have been killed in this attack. Even the EU Parliament has voted for the suspension of the minerals deal until Rwanda stops supporting the M-23 rebels, but the EU is not keen to do so, putting its own interests ahead of the rights of the citizens of the DRC, and human rights in general. ....DRC remains one of the poorest countries in the world. english.almayadeen.net/article⊠#congo #drc #eu #europe #eupol #rwanda #apple #google #microsoft #Tesla #usa #imperialism #dell #HumanRights #sextrafficking #sexualabuse
The DRC's offer of exclusive mineral rights to the U.S. is a desperate move to curb resource plundering, but ongoing exploitation, conflict, and human rights abuses persist, challenging the ethics of the global energy transition.
Video (see previous post) has emerged of a gang rape of a #Palestinian prisoner by guards at the Sde Teiman detention facility in the Negev desert, southern #Israel. Ten soldiers were ultimately arrested for the rape on July 29, in a case that has rocked Israeli society. The soldiers belong to a unit known as Force 100, which is tasked with guarding the Sde Teiman facility, according to Haaretz Military prosecutors released three of the arrested soldiers on August 4, adding to the two previously released by investigators following a military court hearing in Kfar Yona on July 30, at which protesters gathered in support of the soldiers under arrest. Bezalel Smotrich demanded âan immediate criminal investigation to locate the leakers of the trending video that was intended to harm the reservists and that caused tremendous damage to Israel in the world and to exhaust the full severity of the law against themâ. Following the arrest of the reservists on July 29, far-right mobs, some of which included government ministers, stormed the facility at Sde Teiman.

Human Rights Watch - (Jerusalem) â Israeli forces have arbitrarily detained Palestinian healthcare workers in Gaza since hostilities began in October 2023, âŠ
#Israeli officials have obstructed a UN investigation into alleged sexual crimes committed by Hamas fighters during the 7 October 2023 Al-Aqsa Flood operation, fearing this would open the door to a probe into the rampant allegations of sexual violence against Palestinians inside Israeli torture camps.
According to a report by Israeli daily Haaretz, Tel Aviv rejected a request from Pramila Patten, the #UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General on #SexualViolence in Conflict, to investigate the allegations against #Hamas after she established that a necessary condition would be access to Israeli detention centers to probe claims against Israeli soldiers.
Nevertheless, since the start of the Israeli genocide in #Gaza, #humanrights organizations have documented dozens of accounts of the rampant sexual violence inflicted on #Palestinians inside Israeli detention centers.
And now the real face of #zionazis: On 27 August, Channel 14 hosted one of the Sde Teiman guards accused of raping Palestinians on one of its programs.

#Palestinian Women 'Raped by Israeli Soldiers.' Silence From Western #Media
Women are routinely sexually abused during home invasions by the Israeli military. Theyâre forced to disrobe â sometimes in front of their male relatives â and adopt humiliating poses for the soldiers to film them, Khraim said. During some #WestBank home invasions, the other advocate testified, Israeli soldiers touched Palestinian women sexually and threatened them with rape, all while their male relatives were handcuffed. The soldiers âmake sexual noises and gestures, threaten to rape [the woman] even, doing this in front of [her male relatives] while they're being handcuffed or blindfolded, not able to stop it, not able to protect [their] daughter, sister, whatever it may be. It's a form to not only control the woman, but also control the men as well, and break up the family and, in turn, break up society as a whole.â
This is an example for those who justify the stance of german State under the explanation "guiltiness". This guy is grandson of one of the most notorious guys, Katznelson, of the early zionist project. And he speaks up. And he goes against the steps of his ancestors (also his father who was a general in IOF), because he can see. He can see and has the moral values to speak. He has also lost relative from "terrorist" attack and what he said is "Why not tell the truth... That this and similar tragedies are taking place because we are occupying another nation and that in order to save lives the right thing to do is to end the occupation and negotiate a just peace with our Palestinian partners?"
The great truth of our time is that our continent is giving way to barbarism because private ownership of the means of production is being maintained by violence. Merely to recognize this truth is not sufficient, but should it not be recognized, no other truth of importance can be discovered. Of what use is it to write something courageous which shows that the condition into which we are falling is barbarous (which is true) if it is not clear why we are falling into this condition? We must say that torture is used in order to preserve property relations. To be sure, when we say this we lose a great many friends who are against torture only because they think property relations can be upheld without torture, which is untrue.
We must tell the truth about the barbarous conditions in our country in order that the thing should be done which will put an end to themâthe thing, namely, which will change property relations. -Bertolt Brecht 1935 autonomies.org/2024/06/bertoltâŠ

This is how IDF-IOF deploys its snipers. On the other side, Qassam Brigades' (the military group under the political command of Hamas) snipers target only military men of IOF. The difference is clear or not?
tragic not enough chads i guess they will never figure out why filtering only for 20% of men will lead to having less men available. with animals this tactic could actually work like a lion with his pride of females but human females are too narcissistic for that.

Mega farms in Scotland, including some with more than a million animals, have repeatedly leaked excrement and failed to monitor contamination, putting humans, wildlife and the environment at risk, The Ferret can reveal.
The army plans to expel 1,500-2,000 Palestinians from Fire Zone 918 in Masafer Yatta, claiming that they are not "permanent residents". Meanwhile, 11 illegal outposts have been established, with the army's support, within the same Fire Zone. In the West Bank, Fire Zones now cover nearly a million dunams, and their primary function seems to be training for one thing, which is how to expel Palestinians.
Last Tuesday (June 17, 2025), a document was circulated within the #IDF Central Command headquarters and it deserves close attention. Titled "Subject: Training Routine in Fire Zone 918", the two page memo, signed by Major Sari Saban, lays out in detail why it is needy to expel approximately 1,500-2,000 Palestinian residents that are living in an area that was first declared a military âFire Zoneâ by Israel in the late 1971. Fire Zones, as a reminder, are always designated as "Closed Military Zones" where, according to the army, only "permanent residents" are permitted to remain. Pay attention to that term - "permanent residents" - we will return to it shortly.
Below are two short quotes from the document that clearly clarify its purpose: âOver the years, a phenomenon of widespread illegal construction has developed in the Fire Zone, which harms the training routine and the IDF's ability to prepare for war" (Section 2)..... "In recent months, the Central Command has been operating - using both civilian and military tools at its disposal in order to fulfill its duty - preserving the Fire Zone for the benefit of IDF training" (Section 3). Link to the full document in the comments.
Let us take a moment to recall what Fire Zone 918 actually is: It spans over nearly 33,000 dunams and is located at the southeastern edge of the West Bank. The area lies within what is historically known as "Masafer Yatta" meaning the agricultural hinterland of the town of Yatta. This broader region extends well beyond the boundaries of Fire Zone 918, and a significant portion of it now lies south of the Green Line, within the sovereign territory of the State of Israel.
In Masafer Yatta dozens of shepherd communities have lived for generations in what is called âkhirbeâ, meaning small hamlets of Yatta. This way of life was common all around Palestinian towns and villages throughout the country. The same thing happened here within the 33,000 dunams that the army declared as "Fire Zone 918", around 12 to 13 shepherd communities, historically connected to Yatta, have lived and worked the land for generations. These are the communities that the Central Command document, now targets for destruction and expulsion. And what is the justification the army offers? It refuses to recognize the residents as "permanent". For years, the state has invested enormous effort trying to prove that these villages are merely "seasonal encampments" and thus, in the army's view, they can expel them from Fire Zone 918.
On May 4, 2022, the High Court ruled that there was no justification to prevent the "evacuation" - meaning, expelling the Palestinian residents of the communities located within Fire Zone 918. The ruling was authored by the settler judge David Mintz, who was born and raised in England and immigrated to Israel - perhaps, among other reasons, so that one day he could authorize the expulsion of people from the very places where their grand-grandparents were born and lived. A stunning twist of irony - though over here, it goes by the name âZionismâ.
As expected, Mintz's ruling was hailed by his ideological allies, who viewed it as a major milestone in the broader effort to expel Palestinians from the area and transform it into a Jewish-only settlement area. Just as was done in other Fire Zones in the northern West Bank, where Palestinians were fully displaced. Indeed not too long after the ruling, the army began blocking roads and restricting movement in the area, in an effort to "encourage" residents to leave. "Voluntary Migration". Link to the post we published in November 2022 is in the comments.
In the years leading up to the court ruling, Israel continued mapping areas that had been looted since the early 1980s by declaring them as "state land". Past experience shows that such mapping typically signals an intent to eventually transfer the land to settlers. And indeed, while working on our latest report, âThe Bad Samaritanâ that was published in March of this year, we discovered that in 2019 and 2021, the Settlement Division allocated over 3,300 dunams of "state land" located inside Fire Zone 918 to two settlers for grazing purposes. Link to our post from May 2022, where we explained how and why this mapping was carried out, is in the comments.
At the same time, settlers established 11 outposts within Fire Zone 918. Nine of them were established between 2022 and 2024, and six of them after October 7, 2023. Strikingly, the Central Command document makes no mention of these outposts at all. Apparently, it is only the presence of Palestinians living in the area that disrupts the army's training. The outposts, established by violent and lawless settlers, are not only not disturbing, they function as paramilitary extensions that the army protects and supports.
The phenomenon of expelling Palestinians, as settlers take control over Fire Zones and establish outposts within them, is not unique to Fire Zone 918. Over the past decade, we have seen this pattern spread across the West Bank. One key example is Fire Zone 904A, located east of the villages of Aqraba and Beit Furik, which settlers have gradually managed to seize almost entirely since the late 1990s. Link to the post where we explained the settlers' model is in the comments.
As we explained in our report "A Locked Garden" which we published ten years ago, the army has left nearly 80% of the West Bank's Fire Zones unused for decades, effectively enabling settlers to expel the Palestinian residents who live there and to seize control of the land. This is not a new phenomenon, but it has gained renewed momentum since Avi Bluth's was appointed as the Apartheid commander. Link to the "A Locked Garden" report is in the comments.
This is exactly what is happening now in Fire Zone 203, west of #Ramallah, as we described in a post last March (link to the post is in the comments). This is exactly what is happening in Fire Zone 934, where settlers have recently begun establishing an outpost called "Beit Horon North", which the racist and corrupt government has already rushed to designate as a "new settlement".

As a non-native English speaker from a not-so-popular language group, learning to read even casual science stuff was an uphill battle. First I had to learn English to a reasonable level. Then I realized that English-Romanian dictionaries hadnât really kept up with science.
I eventually managed to get my hands on a fancy English-only dictionary (yes, a printed one, this was a while ago), but then I ran into another problem: I'd start from one definition, only to find another unfamiliar word in the explanation, then another one in that definition and so on, until I forgot where I had started. And even when I did understand a concept, I'd often be stuck with the English word and with a lot of frustration about trying to convey that in my own language.
Some of those struggles are outdated now. At least you no longer have to deal with a giant dictionary pressing into your ribs if youâre reading lying down. But the language gap in science communication still exists.
Thatâs why Iâm launching a community project: The brain across languages.
Weâre inviting students who speak more than one language to help us translate Neurofrontiers content into as many languages as possible.
What this project is about Understanding the brain is essential and, without a doubt, fascinating. But while the science of the brain affects everyone, the language of that science remains predominantly English.

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.

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.

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.

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.

El problema es que NO SE PUEDE DESACTIVAR. No nos dejan hacerlo. Nos han metido el circulito azul a la fuerza, sin dar ninguna opciĂłn para eliminarlo, y tenemos que tragar con tenerlo ahĂ, lo queramos o no. đĄ
Que, por otra parte, me da que es algo que viola las normativas de protecciĂłn de datos de la UE.
De momento, hasta que Meta se digne a darnos la posibilidad de desactivarlo (spoiler: no va a pasar), solo nos queda activar la privacidad avanzada y evitar a toda costa usar esa mal llamada "herramienta". No tocar el botĂłn, no preguntarle nada, no interactuar, no llamarla en los chats, no usar (cuando salga) la opciĂłn de "resumir chats no leĂdos").
O mejor aĂșn: empezar a dejar WA de lado y pasarse a Signal u otras alternativas.
@kawanokatsuhito, es fĂĄcil de desactivar WhatsCrap y toda la demĂĄs basura de Zuckerbot. Naturalmente es imposible si se sigue usando estas mierdas, de desactivar sĂłlo MetaAI
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".
i guess they will never figure out why filtering only for 20% of men will lead to having less men available. with animals this tactic could actually work like a lion with his pride of females but human females are too narcissistic for that.
