Do a search for bash-it if you haven't found that already. It has a lot of built in easily modifiable themes as well as a bunch of other optional extensions.

<3 Hyprland. Currently trying to figure out how to get it running on Bazzite.

I think the poster above is right in most ways, but it's also pretty easy to see around the negatives.

Give it a try for a month and see what your experience is like. Block a couple servers/communities and you might find it's rather nice here.

This is an environment of welcoming. And you should just get the hell out of here.

Came here to say Garmin Pay. Works great, and any NFC payment will require some kind of device whether it be a phone, watch, or whatever.

Midwesterner here. This is correct. Though it's missing anti-abortion ads and the PORN DESTROYS ALL LIVES signs that always follow the Adult Superstore ones.

A vast amount of the Pacific Garbage Patch consists of discarded commercial fishing gear.

Yea, I had quite the wtf moment one time when I stripped a Torx screw.

McCain is one of the old guard Republicans that went down fighting. His final vote thumbs down for the repeal of the ACA was legendary. I didn't vote for him but I do have great respect for him.

Contrast that against all the limp dicks who are silently retiring instead of speaking out and trying to right the ship.

I got ROCm to work on a 7800XT after fixing some Python errors. It was quite unstable though.

Really interesting article. Further reason to stop using Google for searches. Anyone have a favorite alternative search engine?

the last thing we want to see is an 80-year-old former president sitting in jail

I don't know, this actually might be the first thing I want to see.

Keep an eye out for Cosmic Desktop release news.

It also uses the Red Hat RPM package format and a different package manager. But it just amounts to a few different commands to learn if you manage packages on the command line.

Or all the Republican states' attorney generals.

"Must Try" distros and DEs?

Hey folks! I'm getting a fresh laptop for the first time in about a decade (Framework 16) in a couple of months and am looking forward to doing some low-level tinkering both on the OS and hardware. I'm planning to convert into a "cyberdeck" with quick-release hinges for the screen since I usually use an HMD, built-in breadboard,...

Hyprland DE is the new hotness

@pelotron@midwest.social avatar

Recently there supposedly have been nVidia improvements and success stories. Check the Hyprland wiki to see if it makes sense for you to try. Or is it only the 2000 series and above that have benefitted from Wayland driver improvements?

Agreed, it really makes me excited to use my PC.

I don't know the difference between a terminal and a terminal emulator, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

Lately using Foot since that's what my distro shipped with.

Insurance deserts, where private-sector companies no longer will sell regular home-insurance policies, are already developing in high-risk areas ( www.wsj.com )

Insurance agents and analysts said many insurers are “quiet quitting” high-risk areas rather than face the public relations or regulatory fallout from an official exit.

"We can’t afford to use shareholder money…to support an underpriced product."

I made a claim to replace a door on one of my vehicles and my insurance premium went up for an amount and time that, when I did the math, came out to the amount they paid out for the claim. WTF is the point of all this other money I've been paying you for years if you're just going to recoup your "loss" by temporarily raising my rates?

They're going to be pissed when they find out how many "save the children" bills Republicans sponsor.
