  • I need this on a shirt!

  • thinks queer people are the ones who are confused

    Not a native English speaker, so I might be completely wrong, but doesn't the word 'queer' litteraly mean 'confused' / 'weird'? Not that it makes a difference in this context, I'm just wondering

  • No, I've met a lot of people like you, but honestly, I have a hard time understanding why you feel that way. I'm in a couple of small group chats with people I'm friends with in real life. A group chat makes it easier to organize meeting up and sharing pictures with everyone after. Besides that, in a group chat I feel less pressure to reply, because if I'm not interested in a topic or have nothing to say, someone else will pick up and the person who started it won't feel ignored. In the same way, I feel I am able to share more easily, as I am not putting pressure on any one person to respond and I don't risk feeling rejected, but often a person who I wouldn't have expected to be intressed responds to my message that I would have not sent them personally so I feel like I get to know them better. I have no shame in admitting that I often mute these group chats when I'm trying to focus on something or am not interested in the current topic. However, I also know what it means to be in a group chat where I know almost no one and they are talking about thinks that only relate to them, so maybe that's the majority of the experience you've had?

  • Ha, I was expecting heavy metal

  • What hobby/intrest got them to say that?

  • I imagine a kid who's smart enough to use a vpn, downloading a bunch of videos, and then selling usb drives to their friends at school, or sharing them via gdrive

  • Wouldn't the answer be "10" in that case?

  • What is tardy supposed to mean?

  • Yeah, we have this unwritten rule in my friend group to never send links to any videos no matter where they're from. You download the video and send the file

    Help updating to Fedora 40

    Hello, I've installed Fedora 38 (KDE spin), about the time it came out and need a little help updating it.

    I got a system update through Discover when 39 came out, I updated it restarted, and I didn't think much of it. Now that Fedora 40 came out, I did the same thing, but this time, after the update, I checked the system information in the settings, and it says that I am still running Fedora 38!

    I have a dual boot system with Windows 10 (ugh, but I need it for work) and I noticed that in grub the option to boot Fedora also says 38. There are also some recovery boot options.

    I'm confused and don't know what to do to update to 40? Would really like to avoid doing a fresh install.

    I'd say I'm a novice Linux user, but this is the first time in dealing with something like this, so sorry if I missed some crucial information, will provide anything needed to help fix this issue.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Youtube search results have been garbage for a while now :(

    Tux is not software, it's a software mascot :D

  • Is NextDNS really a good privacy tool? I use it myself because it's convenient, but I always assumed that they would collect data about me since it's a free service

  • As a junior dev, who mainly works with C#, wf improvements are they talking about? I always thought that C++ is way better for when performance is important, like in emulation. At my company, the seniors keep talking about how we should move away form .NET to C++.

  • They've recently expanded the list by a lot. I was able to find every extension that I use on desktop

  • Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about

  • I'm pretty sure that people pirating games have little to do with the current surge micro transaction filled games. It's the opposite, the people who buy all that shit and let companies get away with it are to blame.

  • I've donated to Signal and the web archive

  • Thanks, that seems to have fixed it!

    Looking for a low-end setup

    I have a laptop with a Ryzen 7 5700U, 16 GB ram, running Fedora 38 linux.
    I'm looking to run a local uncensored LLM, I'd like to know what would be the best model and software to run it.
    I'm currently running KoboldAI and Erebus 2.7b. It's okay in terms of speed, but I'm wondering if there's anything better out there. I guess, I would prefer something that is not web-ui based to lower the overhead, if possible.
    I'm not very well versed in all the lingo yet, so please keep it simple.
    Thanks!

    How private am I?

    I think we all draw a line between privacy and convenience and I think I found mine and settled into a comfort zone of sorts. I use Fedora 38. My browser is Mozilla Firefox with it's "strict" setting. uBlock origin and uMatrix. When I need/want to use a site that doesn't work due to blocked connections I relax the restrictions in uMatrix or temporarily disable it entirely if I get frustrated or I'm in a hurry. I watch videos on YouTube. Don't use social media, but I do use Facebook messenger (although I prefer to use Signal with the handful of people I can). I use a Xiaomi phone with custom ad blocking DNS (I'd like to get a Pixel with GrapheneOS someday). I look for an app on F-Droid first, but install it through Google Play if I can't find what I need there. I use Qwant and DuckDuckGo. I use ReVanced. I do not use a VPN. I think that's all the relevant information. My question is: how easy do you think it still is for big tech to track me? Are there any suggestions you would have for
