Finally got some socks :3
  • What's your budget? Just got a used amd thinkpad t14s gen 1 for under $400 off of ebay. It runs BazziteOS great. Even played some light games (ultimate chicken horse) on it and it runs perfectly fine.

  • What will happen to all the USA TikTok creators once the ban on TikTok takes effect?
  • It gets more hate because it is actually worse. They try to exploit the phone as much as possible even more so than the American social media spyware companies. There was a security researcher redditor post somewhere I forgot what it was, but they basically went over how much more shit tik tok was able to harvest.

  • Thought on Graphene?
  • Most likely talking about how the lead developer had a mental health crisis and lost his marbles. From what I've heard, he has stepped off to take care of that and the project is still going great.

  • Custom Linux Distribution just for Gaming
  • I installed Bazzite on a sibling's thinkpad and it was amazing. Chose KDE, out of the box, it was amazing. Fingerprint fprint was pre installed, just had to scan them in settings. Battery management and power level settings (power save or performance) were also already installed. Everything has been flawless. Even full disk encryption works amazingly well without hiccups. I remember trying it on Ubuntu and it bricked itself or something and gave up on it.

    Dual booting it and installation was a walk in the park.

  • Where to Recycle Filament?

    I have a huge bag of filament waste. Where should I send this? I know it is only commercially recyclable in like very specific cases so stuff like PLA will almost never be recycled. However, I do hear of companies accepting filament and they sell back the rolls and stuff. I'm not looking to make a profit or anything, just gotta get this off of me and I want the most sustainable way to do so.

    Standard Notes Premium

    When SimpleLogin merged with Proton, proton unlimited members are able to use SimpleLogin premium for free. Is that the case for Standard Notes? I haven't figured out a way to do this.

    Cube Purchase Advice

    I'm starting out with a cheap Mo Fang Ge brand cube but it's pretty stiff for my taste. I saw some videos about speedcubes and how you can adjust them and all that, thought it was neat. What are some good cubes out there? I would want to avoid any Chinese brand cubes if possible because cheap and Chinese probably means their workers aren't fairly compensated.

    Edit: after much research, I don't think a non-chinese brand cube will be possible. So I guess recommend me whatever the best options are. From the $10-20 range would be a good price for me.

    How are Book Bans Constitutional?

    I know Florida, Texas, and other counties have tried and succeeded to ban books, I wonder how that is even legal since we have the first amendment. I tried doing research on this since Huntington Beach is banning books and people were petitioning against that at the main library.

    I made a little post asking people to petition on the Orange County sub.

    Beginner Linux Guides

    Are there any good resources for helping someone getting into Linux? One of my friends I never thought would get into Linux is asking me for help. He specifically is an advanced Windows power user. I also had someone who was a complete noob, even to Windows.

    For the noob, I suggested LMDE and Kubuntu and they've been having some issues installing LMDE.

    For the power user, I suggested the easy distros such as lmde, kubuntu, nobara but also told them if they wanted to jump into the deep end, arch is cool.

    However, my suggestions don't even cover DEs, WMs or what they even are. I just wish there was a good guide out there. I think that's the biggest hurdle, so many options and not knowing what to pick.

    Noob Starting Out

    I don't want to spend a fortune and so I'm deciding to do classic recurve over olympic since it's much more cheap. What do you guys recommend to try out? The closest archery place has this kit for $300, should I go with it or pick and choose other stuff individually to start out?

    Where Should Comp Sci be?

    From to school to school it could either be in the Engineering college or Science college. Some say it's a Math.

    Is having it in a different college going to affect how you're going to be taught? I'm going to Cal Poly Pomona and comp sci there is located in the college of science but at Cal State Long Beach it's in the college of engineering. Does this matter and how?

    ThinkPad Alternatives

    So I'm looking for ThinkPad alternatives, so far I've see repairable laptops like the Framework laptop and the Tuxedo linux laptops. What other choices do I have if I want a tough, reliable, and utilitarian computer?

    What Are Some Things You Regret Buying or Bought but Never Used?

    I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

    Arch is Easier to Use than Debian

    So the thing with Debian and any Debian based distro like Ubuntu or Linux Mint is there is no big centralized software repo like the AUR. Yes there is the apt repository but if you want something that's not in there, get ready to read the documentation or follow random guides.

    For example, one of my friends wanted to download an audio tool called Reaper. On Windows this is just looking up the application and clicking on the .exe. It really depends on the dev if they include a .deb, sometimes you might need to download the .sh file or they may tell you to compile it yourself. Perhaps, you have to add a ppa. On Arch, all I have to do is Paru -S Reaper, if there are multiple Reapers I can look for that by typing Paru Reaper.

    Now that Arch is so easy to install with the Archscript, and the software repo so vast and easy to use, is Debian really user friendly if you have to jump through several hoops to download programs?

    Edit: yeah yeah there's flathub and stuff but that's more of a last resort, optimally, you want to get it the correct way.

    YSK That There's a U.S Gov Program That Gets People Jobs

    There's a cool government program that trains and gets people jobs. They give people Housing, Basic Medical Care, Meals, Books, an Allowance, Clothing, and a Network of instructors and peers.

    It targets low-income young adults ages 16 through 24. Check it out, share it around to people who need it. It seems pretty unknown.

    Why Are People Hating on Julian Assange?

    I thought he was like one of the most important whistleblowers of our time exposing war crimes and shit. Some of you don't wanna see him live another day, why is that?
