Oh yeah forums are pretty cool. It's like a massive treasure chest you can sort through. I still enjoy using a few forums like Gamerfaqs and XDA developers.
Idk why you are getting downvoted but I wish we had a little more variety to the content. I basically see the same things everyday in my home feed.
Niche communities are awesome ! Sadly reddit is still the king in this aspect.
Maybe in a few years lemmy will reach that level or even surpass it... One can dream.
I agree with what you are saying. What I really meant is that every community should have some amount of people who think differently and see things from a different perspective. This can help widen the variety of posts, comments and even sources used for citations.
For instance, here on lemmy I've noticed a tendency for people to see things from a political viewpoint and don't hesitate to start a flame war in the comments. Maybe the average user will feel more welcome to express their opinions if they see that the existing users are open minded. Thankfully most communities I'm a part of are very nice, more so than their reddit counterparts.
P.S: forgive me if there are any logical inconsistencies in my comment. I might be a little intoxicated.

I hope more active users move to the fediverse. That way we will have a lot of variety in content and can also potentially prevent communities from becoming echo chambers. I suppose moderation will also have to be taken up a notch for these changes to actually have a positive effect.
Try zen browser. It's just like floorp but has that Arc browser aesthetic.
I was a floorp user until I tried zen browser. You should give it a try too.
That's one elaborative answer. Thank you for typing this all out. It sounds like a pain, but I think it's worth doing.
All that waiting period to get verified s crazy. Furthermore to view some profiles we need to be in their networking list ? that's even crazier.
Honestly this has been my daily driver for the past 6 months or so.
I really like it. The aesthetics are really modern, while still maintaining all the things I like about firefox.
My friends who are less tech literate swear by brave. I think it's the way they market their browser... Some of Brave's core audience don't want to install a third party extension for adblock (either they don't like third party or they just don't know they can do it in other browsers)
Also on opening a new tab, they show the stats of how much data they saved and how much ads it blocked. Some people like seeing the number grow.
All this is my speculation. There may be some other reason for it being this popular.
How do you browse Linkedin profiles without being logged in ?
Afaik, archive.md / archive.today used to work but now it doesn't.
Even when browsing while signed in, linkedin will notify them about any person who viewed their profile. I know one can turn on anonymous mode, but still it will notify them.
Does anyone know a way to browse this website without being logged in ?

In my experience the only times I've had a stable experience was
- when I actually only installed packages I needed i.e using a window manager instead of a DE (and no bloat packages which I'll eventually lose track of)
- using an atomic distro, my favourite so far has to be bluefin which is part of the Ublue project based on Fedora Silverblue. NixOS is also great but it gives me the urge to pointlessly tinker instead of getting actual stuff done.
In the past I've seen flatpaks and containers as bloated and messy solutions which tainted my computer but now that I've tried it, It's actually very convenient.
I've always installed a crap ton of packages for gaming which turns into this inevitable mess, but with containers I just use bazzzite-arch and be done with it. It wraps all my gaming packages in one neat container.
I finished Yakuza 7 last year after post game depression of Yakuza 6... Needless to say I was depressed but significantly happier than when I completed Y6.
What do you people recommend for a good grown up romance anime that doesn't make you feel like crap?
Is that the one where the main character tries to develop a girl into an ideal heroine for his novel or something along those lines ?
I didn't completely watch that show, so I'll check it out some time. Thanks for reminding me tho.

So many good ones here. I've watched a few from the ones you mentioned. All of them I pretty much enjoyed a ton.
- Re Life
- Bunny girl senpai
- Sakura-sou no pet na Kanojo
- Boku no kokoro no yabai yatsu
- Kimi no nawa
Re life, kmi no nawa and bunny girl senapi gave me depression for a short while back in the day. Boko no Kokoro no yabai yatsu was probably one of the better ones to come out in recent times.
I also think I watched the first 2 episodes of Kaicho wa Maid Sama a long time ago... I almost forgot it existed.
Hiscore girl, tsuki ga kirei and Spice & wolf are in my never ending watch list, thanks for reminding me again. As for gosik, it's my first time hearing about it... Will check it out tho.
Also please go ahead and comment the experimental ones you mentioned, I think I'll find something interesting
Also my apologies for not mentioning the ones I already watched in my post.

I've not heard about both of them before. I'll check these out. Thanks

Oh nice. Sounds like it's the kind of show I'm looking for. Thank you.

Oregairu was really well executed. I really liked it. I kinda feel bad for the second girl with the pink hair ( I think her name was Yuigahama? ).
Oh man I feel old now.... Its been what? 4 or 5 years since it got it's final season anime adaptation huh.. I was watching it while it was still airing.
On a completely unrelated note, I think it was last year when I watched an anime called "The terrors in my heart" it was one of the memorable ones I've seen as of late. I just remembered it when you mentioned Oregairu for some reason.

From the ones you've mentioned, I've watched Golden time. It was pretty good.
Ore monogatati and Torodora were in my watchlist for a long time, I almost forgot about them until I read your comment.

Most of the romance anime I've seen are based on a high school setting or something similar.
They were good and all but all have this typical format with the usual shenanigans like Love triangle, beach and fireworks festival episodes, useless love interests that have a shelf life of a hamburger... Etc.
And the memorable ones have me feeling nostalgia for memories I've never even had. And in some cases its almost like waking up after a fever dream but with chest pain.
P.S - From the top of my head- the only grown up romance setting I can think of is Wotakoi. Maybe it's time I venture more into K-dramas for the romance, I remember seeing one named "Twentyfive twentyone" which was absolutely amazing.
Fixes for some issues I faced while I switched to Bazzite / Aurora-dx
So a week ago I wiped my SSD and tried Kinoite and Bazzite. I switched mostly for a fresh Wayland experience with Plasma and also so that I don't spend too much time tinkering to solve some minor issues ( well it didn't go as expected).
I ended up settling with Aurora-dx because it's a good balance between Kinoite and Bazzite while still offering all the Ublue goodies.
Here are some things that I couldn't find fixes for even after I tried Reddit and the Ublue forums ->
1. Opening any Flatpak app or moving the cursor makes the display black out
I actually started experiencing this issue in other distros way before I switched to Kinoite / Ublue. After I've switched to AMD this was happening almost every time I turned on the computer.
(This is AMD specific) The issue can be fixed by setting a udev rule, like this :
undefined
sudo vim /etc/udev/rules.d/30-amdgpu-pm.rules
Then enter the following in the file :
undefined
KERNEL=="card0", SUBSYSTEM=="drm", DRIVERS=="amdgpu", ATTR{de

Steam in-game overlay is not working in Bazzite
So today I installed Bazzite for the first time on my computer. I continued with the pre-installed steam package (which was surprisingly not flatpak).
I'm using an Intel cpu and an AMD RX6600. Games are working fine but I'm not able to use the in-game steam overlay. Some games like Apex legends rely on it to complete a sign in process. Apex is saying that I don't have in-game overlays enabled, when I clearly have it enabled (for the game and within the gernal steam settings) . I tried changing the keys from the default 'Shift+Tab' but still no luck.
Does anyone have a solution for this ? Or should I install flatpak steam on Bazzite ?
Edit : It seems that I'm also not able to add steam libraries from other drives, not working with ntfs partitions and btrfs partitions.
Edit 2: I haven't had the issue after I switched over to Bazzite-arch distrobox container for gaming.
I'm going to reinstall linux on my computer. What is it like to run something Silverblue based these days ?
I have been using CachyOS for more than 6 months at this point and I'm pretty happy with it. Among the many distros I tried, this is probably my favourite arch based distro. I initially installed it because it offered Hyprland desktop, and I didn't want to bring over my messy config nor did I want to start from scratch. But sometimes when I want to game or when I wake up my computer from sleep the display would just keep blacking out and won't let me use it until I restart the computer (I am using an AMD GPU btw). This issue has been happening on Plamsa 6, and Gnome as well. I have tried various fixes from the ArchWiki but it's still there. Other than that I really liked the Distro.
It's not like changing distros can solve my moitor blacking out problem, but I'm going to try something based on Silverblue for a change. Yes, I have tried the Ublue project in the past, it was good but I couldn't get into the whole immutable thing back then, so I hopped back to my staple Arch/Tumbleweed
Is there any solution available for controlling the volume without pressing the physical volume buttons ?
So I just bought a OnePlus 12 recently, I was used to controlling volume using the onehand operations goodlock module in my Samsung galaxy S23. I basically never had to press the volume buttons to control the volume unless absolutely necessary.
Possible ways I've thought of (it would be really great if at all possible) -
- Using the curved edges in phone screen for volume control.
- Using the gestures to control volume when the screen is off.
- Setting Diagonal swiping gestures to do different functions, controlling volume in this case.
Is there an any FOSS application that allows streaming of lossless audio torrents, or just audio in general ?
I'm thinking of something like stremio but for audio.
An android app would be great
There are apps like Spotube which are cool but it doesn't have ability to stream lossless audio.
Any suggestions ?
What would happen if all of humanity don't need to work any more ?

How can a person be very sad, irritated or angry and still not show it on their face ?
I'm not good with masking my emotions sometimes, although I do try to process the things before I take any action.
My face and body language on the other hand can reflect what I'm going through at the moment.
Are you aware of any ways to control yourself under difficult situations (apart from things like meditation) ?

Steam on hyprland is not launching most of my games
I'm using CachyOS (arch based), the steam package being used is from CachyOS's repositories. I'm using an AMD RX6600. Monitor is using 144hz refresh rate (set using hyprland config file)
All my Games are in an NTFS partition.
So far CS2 is the only game that opens up when I click on 'Play' and it is playable with some occasional frame drops.
I had the same issue with flatpak steam when I tried earlier.
I have tried setting the my monitor as primary by using xrandr but that didn't help at all.
Has this happened to anyone ? What can I do to fix this ? I can attach any logs if required.
Edit: thanks to @[email protected] my issue has been solved.
(Mentioning the solution here in case the reddit post gets deleted)
- Look for a directory called "compatdata" under ~/.steam.
- It'll probably take some digging, as it's often buried in something like ~/.steam/steam/steamapps . . .
- The "find" command would be useful in this situation!
- Make a sy
How do I play media from stremio in an external video player such as MPV
A couple of weeks ago I installed stremio from the AUR on my arch installation and it showed me an option to play the video in mpv player.
I expected the same thing on my NixOS setup but it doesn't show me the option to open in MPV. I also tried with flatpaks and it also didn't have the option to open in mpv.
As for why I want to open on MPV, I am using anime4k to upscale and sharpen my anime and I'm very used to mpv's controls.
Does anyone know how to get this working ?
How do I add a udev rule in NixOS to set my AMD GPU's performance level to 'high' ?
So I have been experiencing screen blackout when I use any refresh rate above 60Hz. On Arch I was able to solve this by setting a udev rule as mentioned in this ArchWiki article but it seems like I can't do the same in NixOS using the traditional way. Is there anything I need to add in the configuration.nix file to achieve the same ?
Does anyone know a gtk theme that has similar aesthetics to this gnome shell theme ?
I want to have a similar aesthetics on xfce.
Also please feel free to mention your favourite xfce or gtk themes in general.
P.S - I'm sorry if this is not the right place to ask.
Has anyone tried ZLUDA yet ?
I'm really curious if it works with Stable diffusion frontends like Automatic1111, webui-forge, fooocus, comfy-ui etc.
What's the best Anime watching app available for android currently ?
This is crosspost from animepiracy
What's the best Anime watching app available for android currently ?
The app needs to be open source. Being able to watch Kdrama and things like that will be nice to have but not really a big deal for me.
So far I have tried Saikou, Dantotsu and Mangayomi. Recently been having issues loading anime episodes in Dantotsu and Mangayomi. Saikou seems to be no longer maintained If i'm not wrong.
Please mention your recommendations in the comments. (Also if these apps use any extensions like Aniyomi/Tachiyomi does, please also mention your prefered one)
Edit : Latest version of Dantotsu and Mangayomi seems to be working fine.
Can I run a different GPU driver in distrobox ?
I don't want to change drivers on my host Distro as I want to game on it. I'm currently using the open source amdgpu drivers for my rx 6600.
The idea is to use the distrobox containers for running software like oogabooga text-chat-webui and stable diffusion, fooocus etc.
I don't know if that works but I thought I'd ask.
