I don't generally consider my life to have been bad, but there are certain things that I am unable to let go of that have left a mark on me. No matter how hard I try, and because of the way I am, I don't want to see a psychologist or talk to anyone about it. I just keep it to myself, and to be honest, I'm embarrassed to even write about it here and I have always been an introverted person who finds it difficult to make friends.

About five years ago, when my life was at its worst and I was seriously considering suicide, I took refuge in the internet. I didn't go out, I didn't see my family, I was really depressed, but one random day I decided to download an app to talk to people about the things you like, so I decided to take the plunge even though it's not my thing, and I downloaded it and signed up. The first few days I had zero interactions, and it really just made me feel even worse because I didn't know how to interact. I was embarrassed, so the few times I tried and no one paid attention to me, I felt even more depressed because, as I saw it at the time, no one wanted to talk to me. But just before I decided to uninstall the app, this person came along and started talking to me, joking around, inviting me to be more social. At first I was cautious, but then I realized that they were just someone who wanted to be my friend, who noticed that I was depressed and wanted to help me.

We became best friends, and we talked every day. They were the person I used to seek out to tell things to and vent to if something happened to me. The relationship kept getting better and better, and even though we never really met (we live in different countries), I decided that I wanted us to be a couple and get to know each other.

But then, after three or four years of being together, I felt (stupidly) that this person no longer spoke to me with the same interest, that they were no longer as interested in me, so I bothered them about it, feeling bad for having done something wrong and worsened the relationship. To be honest, I said more than one thing that I regret, and although that person told me on more than one occasion that I hadn't done anything wrong, I feel like they were lying so I wouldn't feel bad. I sincerely believe that the things I said made them lose confidence in me and push me away, so yes, in the very attempt to keep them from pushing me away (which probably never happened in the first place, but I was so afraid of losing that person that I ironically caused them to leave me).

At the end of 2023, my father died, and then at the end of last year, that person simply sent me one last message (after my messages complaining that they didn't talk to me much) with something like “I'm sorry,” and since that day, they haven't written to me again and deleted all the accounts we used to keep in touch. I've tried to contact them by every means possible, and there has been no response...

Honestly, I feel like shit because I don't know what happened. There wasn't even a goodbye or anything else. I would have appreciated at least an explanation or having discussed it beforehand to avoid it. I don't even know if that person is still alive and although I've been able to cope with it for almost a year now, ever since then, every time I remember that person, I feel incredibly depressed, to the point where I feel like I'm going to end up killing myself. It's the feeling that I ruined the best relationship I ever had in my life.

Since then, I have done nothing but torment myself and neglect my entire life, and to be honest, at this point in my life, I feel powerless. I am someone who voluntarily helps stray cats, and every damn week I have to deal with the death of kittens or cats. Not long ago, one of my cats died of an illness that, at least in my country, has no treatment, and I didn't have the resources to take him somewhere else to be treated... so that's it, I'm just tired of life itself at this point.

Thank you for reading this far. I apologize if the post has some grammatical errors or if there are things that don't make sense, but English is not my native language, so I used a translator and I don't have the energy to check it.

Thank you to anyone who writes a message of support. It's very difficult for me to respond, but I will read every message.

I'm a recurrent monosodium glutamate (I got to use this name since this is not an +18 community) user, and each time I check the "Hot" or "Popular" pages there are like 10 new artists that I never heard about that draw awesome, so what I usually do is that I download the image and in case I didn't remember the artists name I use fuzzy search to search the image. I have tried using the remonosodium glutamate script, but its subscription function is local (obviously, is a script, it doesn't depend on monosodium glutamate servers) but I use more than 1 device so this is not the optimal.

The best thing would be that monosodium glutamate had some kind of suscription function built-in, so it doesn't depend on the script, so for this I tried FurAffinity but not all the artist that are on monosodium glutamate are there.

Finally, I tried creating an Excel with artists name, but I want to see a image to remember the artists style, and at least OnlyOffice Excel doesn't support this.

My bad if this isn't the correct place to post this, but I couldn't t find another community, and I didn't find any rule in this community that says that text-only posts are not allowed.

What title say, and I couldn't find a option in the settings to hide it or disable it.

Hey,

I currently have two monitors with the same specs, but I usually use the one on the left for playing and the one on the right for checking guides. I don't always use the right-hand monitor; sometimes it just sits there switched on, but I don't use it.

Is there a way to lock or dim my secondary screen when it's not in use, so that I don't have to turn it off manually? Ideally, if my cursor is focused on the left monitor and the right monitor hasn't received any input for a while, it would turn off or display an image.

Thank you.

Hey, everyone

I installed Manjaro Sway a few days ago, but I'm already facing some problems that I don't know how to fix, I tried googling them but no luck.

The first problem is present since the moment I installed the system, which is the audio from my speakers not always work and is basically just random when they decide when to work. If when they don't work I connect some Bluetooth speakers they work, but the wired ones don't. And yes, I tried changing my kernel version and the problem still persisting.

And the second problem is that I got two monitors connected to my PC but Manjaro for some reason is detecting my right monitor as my "main (1)" monitor which is a bit uncomfortable. I already edited my sway dot file but couldn't find a proper way to fix this problem.

Thanks for your help.

I have an 180Hz monitor, and in my Hyprland config file, I have the monitor set to "auto," which works as expected. The problem is that "auto" mode doesn't seem to be as automatic as I hoped. What I want is for my monitor to run at 60Hz while I'm on the desktop, but for it to automatically switch to a higher refresh rate when playing games at more than 60FPS.

However, this doesn’t seem to happen. If my monitor is set to "auto" and a game runs at more than 60FPS, the monitor stays at 60Hz. For example, if the game is running at 180FPS, I want the monitor to match that refresh rate. The only solution I’ve found so far is to manually change my Hyprland configuration files to set my monitor to 180Hz. However, I don’t want to have to make these manual changes every time I want to play a game. Is there a way to make this process automatic? And yes, I can set my monitor to run globally at 180Hz in my Hyprland config files, but that feels a bit unnecessary.

While playing and someone is using their microphone to talk, my own headphones quality drops at the point that my game sounds like someone is talking through a tunnel, and I didn't even using my own mic, I'm just listening to their mic through some game channel or platform.

Another example is while I'm on some Teams meeting, my overall audio goes to shit even if I'm just listening...

I have read some older posts on Reddit that says that this happens because Bluetooth headphones with included mic cannot handle well both communications and they have to lower all the audio in order to keep the stability, but there's really no another way to fix this other than buying wired headphones or using an external mic? It sounds dumb to me, I just don't want to use my mic, why in the first place is my own PC/Headphone deciding when lower quality just because someone else is chatting through their mic?

Edit: I'm using Sennheiser Accentum Plus

Basically what title says, I have a 7800XT and an 7950X3D and in games like Borderlands 2 can I barely overcome the 60FPS (with max settings and 1440p), I have tried gamescope and gamemode but to be honest something doesn't feels right, I have the feeling that Hyprland (Or the OS) is not taking full adventage of my GPU and CPU, since I been watching gameplays of the games I play using my same setup and they have better framerates than me. And something interesting is that even if my FPS are locked to 30, I have constant stutters and my GPU is between 80% and 100% even in the lobby, and this happen specifically in Hyprland, and another interesting thing is that my CPU is always between 85 C and 90 C, when its at just 40% of usage, and this again is specific of Hyprland.

Any idea? I have already experienced something like this when I used Nvidia + Wayland in the past, but I'm now in AMD + Wayland.

I am currently on ArcoLinux with the latest zen kernel, but I have used the same setup on distros like Garuda with i3 and indeed I have better performance, but I know is not that simple.

I have two monitors with different resolutions and aspect ratios, my main monitor is on the left and it's a 2560x1440 (27") monitor and the other one is on the right and it's a 1920x1080 (24") monitor.

The problem I'm facing is that when I move my cursor between the displays it makes a kind of 'jump' between them, for example if I move my cursor between my left monitor to my right monitor, once it enters the second monitor its position is not the same as the position from my main monitor, and I understand that this is something that makes sense since they have different aspect ratios and resolutions, but I don't want this behavior.

I have already played with my hyprland.conf but still don't understand how this works, at the moment of writing this I have just commented everything monitor related so hyprland just does it by itself but is not the best.

I don't need anyone to tell me that Facebook sucks because I already know that, and I would never use it unless in my country, for reasons unknown to me, public and private institutions use Facebook as a primary method of sharing news, such as schedules or promotions.

I don't have the slightest intention of creating a Facebook account, but as I said, I need to see posts from certain Facebook accounts and every time I go to a Facebook page and scroll for 2 seconds I get a pop-up forcing me to create an account. And as far as I know, there is no sort of Piped front-end for Facebook, I would appreciate any help.

I recently migrated from Sway to Hyprland, and I can simply say that Hyprland is a marvel and is incredibly faster than Sway in my opinion.

The only problem I'm having right now is that in Borderlands 2 (Proton) when I put the mouse over any option in the game, it takes about 2 seconds to react in the game, for example, if I put the mouse over the “Settings” option the reaction of the game is not immediate, but it takes a moment, and the funny thing is that in the game as such I do not have that problem, only in the inventories and menus, I can play? Yes, but it is uncomfortable

I already tried changing the version of Proton, forcing the game to run through x11 using SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%, putting the game in full screen mode or minimized, in no case fixes the problem, and is specific to Borderlands 2, I've played different games and this has not happened to me and did not happen inside Sway.

Another curious thing to mention is that Borderlands 2 as such does not recognize the resolution of my monitor, but only appears “unidentified” among the Borderlands options, although it is in 1080p.

Thank for any help in advance.

When I use my GPS app or I want to use my Bluetooth headphones I need to turn on those services, but only in those scenarios, once I'm done using them I don't want them to be always on, is there a way to automatically turn them off is they are not being used?

I tried Tasker but the "Turn off Bluetooth if not being used" profile wasn't working at all.
