  • I mean I hope Ladybird devs do a great build and go their own way without being corrupted by their donors and all that, don’t get me wrong. But whenever I see that dumb shopping bag logo I get the no feelings.

    You can also read up on how the vast majority of Mozilla’s funding has been coming from Google for a very long time, and draw your own conclusions from that fact.


  • Shopify (i.e. Shittify) being their top donor already has me looking sideways at this project. They’ll invest in anything they think they can get an edge with and if something starts to happen they’ll fuck it up and wallstreet-ify it as fast as possible if they can.

    Their (Shopify’s) guru founder Tobi made a huge NFT play that went absolutely nowhere while I still worked there. They spent a lot of time and money on it, right before they laid several thousand people off.





  • Between this community and the actual Onion I get pretty much the gist of current events, yeah. If some topic or other piques my interest from here, I’ll chase it down. The Onion and its opposite tend to give me enough of the context I need to figure out what’s important enough to pursue vs the vast majority of quasi-satire hitting “normal” news cycles over a given week.

    It’s like a hyper-curated way to get my news, as if handpicked for me by a space clown. And I like it that way.




  • It’s kinda janky but I’ve been running HoloISO on my gaming rig for over a year and it was mostly pain free. To be clear I don’t use that system for much more than gaming but recreational browsing and music/movies etc as well. It’s fine.

    Recent decisions by the maintainer to make that distro immutable have confused me and I’m thinking about switching to Endeavor. I was historically a Debian user. This was my first experience with Arch (btw) so I’d kinda like to get to know it a bit before we introduce thicker weeds and deeper rabbit holes thanks very much bye.


  • You might like Commento which is FOSS. You can self-host it (or fire it onto a free or low cost cloud host), and fun. It’s more like a Lemmy/reddit format (comment up/down votes can be enabled) than masto but maybe you’ll enjoy it.

    Users can comment anonymously or you can enable basic verification steps. Decent moderation for if spam bots find you. Etc.

    ETA I used to host my instance on Heroku’s free tier and it was more than enough for what little traffic was coming to my site.



  • I use syncthing for personal and work, and it’s great. Having said that I’ve found it struggles with versioning i.e. editing a document from multiple devices.

    Look into something like Standard Notes for cross platform markdown editing. It’s e2e encrypted, works great, the dev is very responsive. Ymmv but I really like it, have it on every device I own and use it daily.

    I’ve also just used a private git repo for editing docs from multiple devices. Once you get it set up it’s effortless, and most ide’s are extremely fun to use as text editors.

    OP is it the 7700 non-x 65w tdp version? Asking because I’m thinking about upgrading my CPU from 5600x to the 7700non-x and have the same gpu. I was actually wondering how throwing that integrated graphics into the mix would work so thanks for asking this and looking forward to your findings if you don’t mind posting however you end up solving this.



  • fml I’ve got a debian build on what used to be my daily driver until I somehow managed to completely eff the kernel and headers. This was my first time using LVM and I still don’t know how, but the last time I updated the kernel and headers they installed to not my user-space of choice but to the parent encrypted volume. Not realizing what I had done wrong I then proceeded to autoremove and next reboot… bricked.

    Have tried multiple ways to get it back, nothing profitable yet. At least I can still access the file system and have taken everything off that I wanted. Haven’t gotten around to format/reinstall. Won’t be carelessly working with kernels again that’s for sure.
