Do you prefer cut or uncut? by refreeze in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I find my uncut wood a little too big to fit in the fireplace, so I think I will say cut.

I'm actually thinking of buying a gun, which is crazy because I've been opposed to them my whole life.

How do you, or do you vet if a software will paywall features or "enshittify"? by refreeze in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Just use open source software?

I'm currently switching all my computing/cloud stuff over to Canadian and/or EU providers. I'm going to move my domains to Easy DNS and try out a VPS from LunaNode.

I have been reading about this since the news broke and still can't fully wrap my head around how it works. What an impressive level of sophistication.

What a great looking release. I'm most excited that we finally have proper caldav/carddav support built in!

I can now control external display brightness from KDE and I don't know why. Thank you, nameless Linux contributor by refreeze in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Probably using ddcutil. There is a popular gnome extension for the same thing: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2645/brightness-control-using-ddcutil

Meanwhile I get support for both completely ad free with infinite selection on my Jellyfin server... What on earth are these companies thinking, you literally get a superior product by not paying for it. I would gladly pay a small fee per download of DRM free files if that were an option.

Laptop companies: which one? by refreeze in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Framework. I've run Debian, Fedora and for a while now NixOS, all of which have worked flawlessly.

I did have to replace the heatsink/fan part on mine because the fan bearing started clicking, but I'm sure that was just a first generation product issue (I was one of the first batches). I was glad to be able to do the replacement myself at relatively low cost and the process couldn't have been easier (took about 30 minutes).

My previous machine was a 2013-ish ThinkPad X series and the Framework absolutely blows it out of the water. I'm looking forward to upgrading mine to a Ryzen motherboard sometime in the not so distant future.

Which games do you dislike, but the rest of the world loves them? by refreeze in c/games@lemmy.world

[-] refreeze@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago

Grand Theft Auto.

All of them, but especially V. I have tried a few times to play them but never get more than a few missions in before losing interest in the story. I think I have to like or identify with a protagonist to enjoy a game, and most GTA characters are pretty unlikable.
