To be fair, fedora 38 is already on the latest version of KDE Plasma unlike with gnome. I’m sure once we get Plasma 6 we’ll see the fedora spin support it not long after.

+1 to framework. I have one and love it, works amazing with linux (is especially well supported by fedora, but any distro works) and you get really good repairability, upgradability, and customizability hardware wise.

First off, you say the rest of us. Do you support lemmy financially yourself? (Genuine question, not trying to call you our or anything)

But that same thing can be said about all open-source software. I don’t fully get your point. The reason the whole sync thing feels wrong to me is just because all that expensive fancy stuff, whether server hosting or the framework and protocol itself, isn’t the service you’re paying for. All that is free for the end user. Paying for essentially just the UI seems odd. It’d be like having a desktop environment for Linux that’s paid only.

By 100% free I meant on the end of the client. And it’s not like the money from the monetization of sync is going towards hosting lemmy servers.

I do find it a bit odd to monetize a client for a service which is 100% free. Not necessarily against it, but it bothers me slightly.

Well what do you know. Had no idea that was there.

Edit: it seems this only works on posts you actually click/vote on. Better than nothing, but I would prefer if it did this on all posts I’ve even scrolled past.

As far as I know ow most paid VPNs allow it, a lot of free ones don’t. I can say from experience that Windscribe allows torrenting, although there is a 10gb limit per month on free accounts (there is a way to get around that tho)

I don’t disagree, I only brought it up because it’s the only argument that holds any merit (even if little) and is made irrelevant in this case.

I don’t disagree, I brought it up just because it’s the only argument against piracy that holds any merit at all )even if little) and is, in this case, completely irrelevant anyway.

Maybe I’m the only one, but I just want a lemmy client that’ll change the way homepage sorting works so that when I refresh its not the exact same feed. Feel like it wouldn’t be that hard to make it not show posts you’ve already seen. Cause currently, I have to always browse lemmy in one session. If I quit, I have to come back like hours or even a while day later just so I don’t have to scroll past posts I saw already

I managed to get one drive working on linux, able to mount it onto the filesystem using rclone.

The only argument for piracy being bad is that it is stealing because they lost a sale they would have otherwise gotten. You already bought the game. Therefore, there is no lost sale. There’s not a single moral argument against it now.

That being said, your ISP can’t tell the difference, so make sure you use a VPN (especially if torrenting)

Is it still in warranty by any chance? It really shouldn’t be overheating to the point that it reboots, windoes or not.

I don’t have enough ideas man

Kinda a tangent, but I’ve been using KDE plasma for a while and have really been enjoying it as a kinda in between of windows style desktop with some more gnome-like features (like workspaces, which tbh I’ve barely used). Of course both are super customizable, but it seems to me to maybe be a bit easier to customize Plasma? I’m not sure, I haven’t used stock gnome as much.

Windows kept annoying me. Somewhat ironically, the last straw for me was right after I tried linux for the first time using a live usb. Upon trying to go back into windows, BitLocker locked me out for changing secure boot settings. I thought, no problem, I’ll go online and get my recovery key. I go online to discover there’s no bitlocker recovery key. After some investigation, I found out if your OneDrive is locked down (for me because I went over my storage limit, something that only happened because windows insists on uploading all of your personal files to onedrive) you can’t get your recovery keys. I deleted the stuff but had to wait a full day before onedrive was unlocked and I got my recovery keys.

So, in summary, windows locked me out of my computer that I own because I tried another OS, then didn’t give me the option to unlock my device because I used too much storage in the cloud service they made me use. No thanks, I’d rather have control over the device I paid for and I own rather than it being controlled by some massive corporation.

And I gotta say, when you actually learn how to interface with your device on a deeper level, having complete control over everything is super nice. Also, the unix-style command line makes way more sense and is far easier to learn than the windows command line IMO. While a lot of newer Linux distros don’t need you to use the console, it is really nice to know how for more advanced usage.
