I like Gnome Shell. It's polished and extensible. Libadwaita and the header bars are nice as well. I generally prefer nautilus to dolphin, even if I hate having to ctrl-l to edit the path.

I use KDE however because Mutter is still dogshit slow, especially in wayland. My work PC has a R5 3600, RX 570, and 48GB ram and it struggles to maintain 60fps across 3 1080p monitors. KWin runs significantly better, so I use KDE and just configure it like I would Gnome.

I have to wonder how much of Reddit's traffic is bots and lurkers though.

Post quality is a bigger indicator, and that does seem to be dropping. This is why Reddit banning 3rd party apps was such a big deal. It doesn't matter if 99% of your users use the official app if 99% of the content posted to the side is posted by the 1% that don't.

As someone who was around for the digg migration, it didn't drop off overnight (hell digg.com is still around), but they gradually bled content until everyone was on Reddit. Lemmy right now is very reminiscent of early Reddit.

Even better get a NVMe enclosure and an internal NVMe drive.

Enclosures are $20 and you can get a 500gb Samsung 970 Evo for $35.

Smaller, lighter, cheaper and faster than any off the shelf portable drive you could get. I have one and it fully saturates the USB C 10Gbit port on my motherboard.

My aunt's 2017 Mazda didn't have my house in the GPS. It was built in 2011.

That's the goal here too. If Google and Meta have to pay to link to Canadian news content they are only going to do it for a few mainstream media sources like Post Media because handling the payments for all of the smaller independent sources would be an accounting nightmare.

There is also a Microsoft subplot here. One of our senators was just on social media stating that Microsoft won't have to pay because they fall short of the threshold. He encourages more people to switch to bing so that they will be forced to pay. The whole thing reads like a sponsored post.

The GPU is also upgradable. Given Framework's track record the likelihood that you will be able to upgrade it to an 8000 or 9000 series AMD GPU or even an Nvidia or ARC GPU down the line is damn near 100%.

I wouldn't even be surprised if they released an adapter that lets you plug your old GPU into a standard PCIe slot afterwards.

Aspartame was classified as a Group 2B carcinogen, which basically means that in high doses in animal studies there is some evidence that it causes cancer.

Its one of the most studied chemicals in human history, so its easy to find studies that say one thing or another. But we've been studying its effects for nearly 60 years and the conclusion from both the US and EU is that it does not affect metabolism and does not cause cancer under normal circumstances. Based on the current guidelines the safe average daily intake for an adult is between 15-20 12 oz cans of diet soda per day.

Things more cancerous(Group 1/2A) than Aspartame include:

• eating red meat
• drinking hot liquids
• working night shifts
• alcohol
• painting

Those 24/7 Top Gear streams on justin.tv before they shut down and rebranded as Twitch turned me into a lifelong fan.

I have a prime subscription in part because is gives me access to both Top Gear and TGT.

"Reposting" as in linking to their content? Most other companies pay Google for that service.

How are those companies going to drive views to their site? Do you think Microsoft and Meta are going to play ball? They aren't. Do you expect Lemmy instances to pay whenever someone uploads a Canadian news article?

Our country is a literal South Park meme right now. We're just waiting on the bubble gum and Bennigans coupons.

This is borderline fascist legislation. Restricting the flow of information on the internet so that Canadians are forced to turn to traditional mainstream media for their news. It was never about money.

I’ll be curious to see what solutions pop up to replace what we’ve become used to.

Non-recyclable paper products that are still actually lined with plastic.

Meanwhile the vast majority of items on grocery shelves still come in plastic packaging.

This is definitely a PR thing. The 4060 Ti was universally panned, as was the 4060. They aren't seeding units to reviewers this time around because they know that 90% of the review is going to be pointing out that the extra 8GB of ram doesn't help a card with the same memory bandwidth as a GTX 780.

Still using it with Python 3.6 lol. You just have to pin the version of the Python extension to 2022.8.1
