I was more interpreting the community name as deshittifying your own personal experience with different technologies that are FOSS or at the very least open source. Would be a good place to post when companies are forced to (or even choose) to do something that is significantly more consumer friendly.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Is game streaming too late to get into?English
9·30 days agoI did some vague streaming stuff for some friends and really enjoyed playing around with OBS to get some overlays and stuff. As long as you’re getting into it cause you find it fun, I see no reason to not try it. Just keep in mind you’ll probably not make it big and this will remain what it starts as: a hobby. Don’t let others deter you from trying atuff out. Even If it’s not your thing you learned some skills and what you like/don’t like.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Cities Panic Over Having to Release Mass Surveillance Recordings
0·2 months agoIt’s at least setting legal precedent which makes it easier to fight against these.

10·2 months agoI thought voluntary scanning was already on the books (this is what I gathered from the article)? What makes this version different?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Facing problems using Bazzite for software development
4·2 months agoDoes it show I’ve never used an atomic distro before?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Facing problems using Bazzite for software development
294·2 months agoI’m sorry to say this, but switching distros would be the better option. Bazzite locks down a lot of parts to ensure it works for games. There’s ways around it, but the effort is so much more compared to any other popular distro. Plenty of distros either come with KDE or have a version that has KDE.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Facing problems using Bazzite for software development
51·2 months agoIn terms of immutability, Bazzite by design makes it very difficult to install things that aren’t in the app store/flatpal/homebrew. It is an OS dedicated to gaming, and tries to make it as hard as possible to mess that up. I’ve ran into similar issues when I try to do some non-gaming things, or more advanced gaming things on it (like installing a fan patch). It’s not a good OS choice if you want to do more than game and surf the web.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can mental health medication change nature of dreams?
11·3 months agoI’ve heard anecdotal evidence that the anti-malaria medication the US military uses that cause people to have recurring nightmares. If you’re taking a medicine that is supposed to effect the brain I don’t see any reason why it couldn’t effect your dreams.

Lemmy@lemmy.ml•Bit concerned about the view votes option now available.English
3·4 months agoYeah it’s a mix of “fair enough” , and “are you really monitoring votes close enough to even find me?”. If I went out of my way to downvote everything then I would say the ban is 100% justified. At this point I can see the point of view, but also is it worth the effort, when I will probably block the community anyways?

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are usingEnglish
7·5 months agoAh that would explain why I didn’t know. I have next to no experience with Apple devices.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are usingEnglish
41·5 months agoWell it does depend on your exact use case, but using a proper database is usually the better option for production. Now if this is just some little service you made for yourself use whatever you want.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Standing desks are like gym memberships. Plenty of people (and offices) pay for them but never use them
10·5 months agoSounds like a low quality one then. I’ve had zero issues with mine at home and work (used them for years), so I’m adding this brand to my avoid list.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft no longer permits local Windows 10 accounts if you want Consumer Extended Security Updates — support beyond EOL requires a Microsoft Account link-up even if you pay $30English
1·5 months agoWhat distro of Linux did you install on the laptop? I’ve had no luck getting wine to work on Fedora, but my desktop is running Bazzite which is based on the steam deck OS and I’m games run great (sometimes with tweaking required).

21·5 months agoI’m ignoring you’re requirements and am gonna suggest you use GIMP instead. In all seriousness, you may want to look into a dual boot situation where you have Windows in a partition just big enough to do all the work you need to do. You could also look at VMs, but I’m not sure how well they would play with something that is resource hungry like Adobe products.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber
201·6 months agoI wouldn’t say that data is definitive proof. The table is missing ages from 30-under 65 from the table (at least if you’re not logged in, if there is a more complete table please share). Also not sure how good some of the questions are for determining tech literacy. Knowing that Elon Musk ran both Tesla and Twitter in April 2023 is more if you keep up with the news rather than knowing how to work a computer. Other ones are good like being able to identify 2FA or knowing what LLM/AI is capable of.

memes@lemmy.world•If you want to see my pusswatcha, dress like men in hair metal bands from the 1980s.
1·6 months agoMaybe? I’m not too sure what’s causing it. There’s no other symptoms and it goes away as soon as the nail polish is removed.

memes@lemmy.world•If you want to see my pusswatcha, dress like men in hair metal bands from the 1980s.
52·6 months agoMy fingertips get weirdly sweaty whenever I wear nail polish. I joke it’s my toxic masculinity leaking out, but really I just don’t want to emphasize my toe thumbs. It’s way more fun to show them when people don’t even notice them.

For the price they’re asking I actually expect them to stand by their product like that. Might give a pair a try. If I don’t like them then it’s more scrap cloth for me to make patches out of.
