    Thanks for your perspective, I didn’t know I came across quite like that. In my defense though, I wasn’t trying to propagandize. I may be wrong and stupid but that’s how people can be sometimes?! 🤷
    And regarding personal abuse - the person called me a moron and I said they didn’t understand geopolitics - I don’t think I really abused 'em 🤔


  • I know you can see it, it’s no secret, but

    1. it’s missing to whom and to what I replied to
    2. lots of comments have been deleted, you can’t even see those afaik

    In most cases I’d say I am not trolling nor being disingenuous. Maybe I did troll when I replied just “Orange man bad” to someone, but even then I was trying to create a bigger argument that Trump doesn’t work alone and the issue is much bigger than 1 bad guy - there’s the people around him, the party around him, etc. - and this is my genuine opinion, again, stupid or not. :/

    Really? The guy who called me a moron didn’t get a ban. I was polite to him, but got one anyway 😆
    What I’m getting at is, when did free speech stop applying to stupid people? (I’m assuming that’s why you think I deserve it - for being just factually incorrect, not too rude or anything?)

    Ok I’m wrong about stuff, I’m being stupid, but isn’t it better for others to rebut my arguments than just banning me? Like if you ban me you don’t change my mind, nor do I just stop existing or anything…

    I’ve been thinking about this topic lately, now that corporate social media is all about “free speech” since Trump got re elected. I don’t use those platforms, but I think they banned obvious cases like racists and such, and then everyone could pretend those people didn’t exist anymore and we live in a nice and happy world without racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. But it’s been festering in the background, and now BOOM! you get Trump 2.0 😄






  • I haven’t had as bad of an experience with Nvidia as people say - but ofc your mileage may vary depending on your compositor, the apps you use, the distro you use, etc.

    I also experienced issues with my system completely freezing after waking up from sleep - for me the issue turned out to be due to bluetooth/wifi drivers, and with this workaround things work fine again: https://github.com/alimert-t/suspend-freeze-fix-for-mt7921e/tree/main
    My card is mt7922 (found that out with lshw -C network) but I guess it’s having the same issue, because after applying that fix it all works now.

    It was really annoying and it took me a while to find the issue, because if you just try to google it you find lots of people with lots of different issues, all manifesting in the same way.
    If you’re lucky this is your issue too, and the fix above should do it. 🤞


  • I think this “it just works” experience depends much on the hardware and software you use. But no matter what, in the long term, if you’re not willing to put in time and learn how stuff works, how to troubleshoot, how to check logs, use the terminal, etc. I think you’re going to have a bad time and be disappointed.

    I’ve used Linux exclusively for the past 10 years, both at home and at work, and I wouldn’t advise anyone who wants a care-free “it just works” experience. Linux is not good at that, and I think anyone who claims it is does more harm than good.

    Linux is good for tinkering, self-hosting stuff, connectivity and flexibility. Most people want their games to work, not this. For me, I love it and I use it for everything including sim racing and VR games.
