    15? I'm 18 and I still dread it. Even if I get something nice, was is rly worth it? It's a necessity, how can someone enjoy something that they must do? (like eating: super overrated)

    What do you mean by "I'll make sure they'll answer them"? Are you a reporter? But if this is a bug report thread now, here I go:

    I have and one of my friends had the Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED mouse. It has a problem with it's mouse wheel.

    I've done the debugging a while back, but maybe I can get the logs again. Basically when using it wired it only uses the regular mouse wheel events, but when using it wireless (most of the time) it uses both highres mwheel events and regular ones. Confusing all apps. To add to this, the regular events seems to be simulated by software, based alongside every 5th (? maybe it was a long time ago) highres event. While at seemingly random times a full "click" of the mouse wheel just doesn't register the required number of highres events, making the "normal" one also absent. I tough this was a hardware issue, as when it happens you can go back and forth and it won't register it at all, however it doesn't happen when pugged in.

    This is probably some kernel issue if I'm being honest, all I know is that on Windows it works perfectly. But I am using KDE and I have not debugged this mouse on any other window manager.

    I truly don't know if this was the type of reply you were looking for, if not: Sorry for wasting your time. (There's also a KDE bug when editing widgets or when turning the screen off and on, but that's not input device so)

    You can color me surprised. I'm not really into this sort of progression because it's almost always lazy. But I feel like Skeleton Solder did an above average job. But I do have to admit, that most of the mangas that I like are like this. I have no idea why, I refuse to believe a leveling system is good writing.

    I love you're comparison to fast food! Fits so well. As I said, for me reading a "normal" book takes energy and effort, I need to learn new words to even understand the scenery. Don't get me wrong, I do want to extend my vocabulary and I also enjoy it. But it is nice to immerse myself into something for hours easily, and for that I do need myself some fast food from time-to-time. Anyways I just said (in 3 lines) that don't feel bad for recommending (I enjoyed Mortal Engines as well, but not enough to finish it, and the characters actively annoyed me), I'll probably want to search for these sooner or later and now I don't need to find a site.

    Reading your other comment: Oh I feel bad for you already. If Christina's fall got you idk how you'll l handle S3's ending. But I won't say a word more. Please update me on how heartbroken you are.. O-or because you knew what was going to happen because almost all of these stories are the same, and you said you've read them a bunch.

    Other thing that interests me is, and I know this might be reaching, it's okay if you wouldn't want to answer, is how old are you? You said "used to be" does that mean I've struck some nostalgia in you?

    Is there space for one more paragraph? Do you use ebook readers? I mean like a device with an eink screen. I'd like to buy one soon but I have no idea what to look for in them.

    Well, I'd give a 99% that you're going to find it cringe, but I made this post about The Skeleton Soldier Failed to Defend the Dungeon. It had that absolutely amazing character 180° plot twist, and even if everything else is very poorly written, that singular character is awesome.

    The way I actually got into reading is a bit embarassing, only two of my friends know of it. But the watered down version is that after years of everyone around me watching anime I also caved in, tried it, and I very much enjoyed one. Because it was (and still is) unfinished I decided to read the light novels about it and realised how awesome reading is. My familiy nagged me about reading, and I did some back in the day, can't even remember how old I was (single digit for sure), however school started and I was forced to read some of the worst pieces of word combinations that ever hit my ear, long and boring too. I'm not kidding when I say one of these mandatory reads made me hate women for a while. Thankfully I forgot all of it, like a trauma, all I remember is that it was hell reading that (actually couldn't even read it, I listened to it.) Anyways, even if it's cringy and a bit wierd, I'm still happy about it. I get to enjoy this hidden gem of media, and I'm loving it. So I'm searching for new experiences. This post backlogged me for a year at least.

    I'm writing this omw home on a bus, if there are typos; sry :p

    I’m really sorry to have put you through that D=

    haha, don't be :D I'm happy that I met this world. It's just not that good.

    I don't have a favorite book. I'm very new to reading books. 21st century childhood got to me as well. But I'm enjoying it so far. Might even me a better form of media than series. While I'm also not native, and for whatever reason I don't read in my mother tongue, but english. For that reason I struggle with vocabulary. One good thing I can definitely say about Mortal Engines is that the language is simple, I barely had to look stuff up.

    I can tell you manga or smth tho.

    Hello, it's me again. With a book club-like update. Just finished the 2nd book, Predator's Gold. However I'll just say it straight on, it was bad. The plot armor driven plot didn't subside. I remember you saying that you liked the 2nd least, so I guess.. same. I honestly don't feel like reading the next two.

    I don't think I'll over-analyze this one, but I'll just say that it was so uninteresting and boring that I've put off the last chapters for days, read them one by one. And the big drop at the end, the climax, was, again, complete nonsense. >!Tom survived getting shot point blank in the chest. The stalker 2.0 got autobalanced (tf2 reference) in the middle of killing the MCs. Hester did something so unreasonable that it is in no way justifiable as a tantrum. One of the most feared predator cities just killed themselves. And the drop of Hester being pregnant is irritating, very "book end" of it, but also let's think about it. For the 2nd half of the book they weren't even close to each other, except for when They came back from the "prison" and when Tom was dying. So there are two options: Hester had intercourse with a dying(unconscious) guy (peak fiction?), or they tried for baby when they were speeding back to the city, when it was clearly uncomfortable for the both of them. I won't read back, but IIRC they were both filled with guilt and barely talked. Or did they have fun in the early chapters? In that case, good to know a city can move half a world's length within a couple of months (before pregnancy is noticeable or a hindrance)! !<

    I'll think this is the end of my journey with this one, overall it wasn't bad, I'm just disappointed a bit. And definitely not interested enough to continue. However, if you say that the next two books are good (AKA way better), I can imagine myself reading them and writing up the first two as setup.

    Lol, my last line was a joke. A shot in the dark hoping you might get it. In the game Hollow Knight, there is a character called Hornet. She's getting a whole game, called Silksong. Anyways, the game only has sounds as voiceacting and Hornet says "Shaw" a lot. (You can try searching "Hornet Shaw" on Youtube if you're curious, but I warn you of the brainrot, the community is insane)

    I already started with book#2. Was just planning on reading it a bit when I noticed your reply. It's written way to well for me to just drop it. I'll (try to) drop by when I'm done.

    No problem, thanks for the help. Also I got news is that I don't have to trust anyone with my laptop, I can keep it by my side after all. Still it's a security mesure, that I didn't solve in time. fun fact: LUKS on /home only breaks KDE. I really don't want to give up kde tho, I put on sway, realised that I needed to memorise console commands to change my fking volumes, so no thank you. I got spoiled by sweet UIs. it's so comfortable that everything is at one place.

  • My laptop isn't under my supervision most of the time. And I'd hate it if someone were to steal my SSD, or whole laptop even, when I'm not around. Is there a way to encrypt everything, but still keep the device in sleep, and unclock it without much delay. It's a very slow laptop. So decryption on login isn't viable, takes too long. While booting up also takes forever, so it needs to be in a "safe" state when simply logged out. Maybe a way that's decrypt-on-demand? I'm on Arch with KDE.

    Let's be honest: I only use Java for Minecraft. So I only debugged with it. But all version, server or client, all launchers. All of them use double (or more) RAM. In the game the correctly allocated amount is used, but on my system double or more is allocated. Thus my other apps don't get enough memory, causing crashes, while the game is suffering as well. I'm not wise enough to know what logs or versions or whatever I should post here as a cry for help, but I'll update this with anything that'll help, just tell me. I have no idea how to approach the problem. One idea I have is to run a non-Minecraft java application, but who has( or knows about) one of those? @jrgd@lemm.ee's request: > launch arguments [-Xms512m, -Xmx1096m, -Duser.language=en] (it's this little, so that the difference shows clearly. I have a modpack that I give 8gb to and uses way more as well. iirc around 12) > game version 1.18.2 > total system memory 32gb > memory used by the game ![](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FloRZxqu.png) I'm using KDE's default system monitor, but here's Btop as well: ![](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FJP3I9MX.png) > this test was on max render distance, with 1gb of ram, it crashed ofc, but it crashed at almost 4gbs, what the hell! That's 4 times as much I'm on arch (btw) (sry)

    I've recently gotten into reading. I realised how much I love fiction, and a couple of tropes. So I'm here asking maybe some of you know any books that have them. I love it when the story focuses more on world building rather than character. The theory crafting I can do in my head, or just before I sleep, is priceless. Here I'll contradict myself by saying a character development related point, but the more important one. I'd like to read more works that show some mysterious big-bad first as a rivalry, later as a friend. They soften up with the MC and we they become friends or allies or whatever. We get to see a BBEG of sorts's friendly and weak side. I get that it's a bit childish, but I lost my mind of how cool of a character they made the first time I read it. Now, it was in a manga, so I'd love to read an example that made this best or first. Thank you in advance, even if you just name some genres or authors.

    Title almost says it all. OLED monitors are getting more and more affordable, but it's almost out of the picture when buying a monitor because of toolbars and HUD elements. I don't understand why monitors "burn-in", when I shine my LED flashlight or some LED xmas lights they won't simply start emitting the same light even when I turn them off. I know it's a dumb comparison, but still, what happens? The other thing that I don't understand is the fact that I've never seen any signs of burn-in on anyone's phone. Alright, technically that's a lie, I did see some on a work phone (or two), that only had some chat app open, seemingly since ages, and the namebar was a bit burned-in, or something like that, as you'd guess I also didn't interact with that phone a lot. As as said above "but still," I've had my phone for a while now, so does my family and friends, some of us even doomscroll, and I've never seen any signs of burn-in on any (actually used) phone. so, I can watch my background all day, but I should open my browser every like 3 hours press f11 twice and I'm safe? Ff I'm away just let the screensaver save my screen? In that case why would anyone ever worry about burn it, you almost have to do it intentionally. But if it's really dangerous, like I immerse myself into a youtube video, but it has the youtuber's pfp on the bottom right (does youtube still do that?), and it was hbomberguy's, am I just done, toasted, burnt-in?

    I haven't yet learned how to replicate the bug, it keeps happening at seemingly random intervals. Right now it happened after walking away from my pc for a while, and when I got back *it* happened. I find my taskbar (Set to be on the bottom) at the top, when I open the edit tool it says that it's still at the bottom. The add widget button just doesn't do anything. The notifications are at the middle of the screen (however they are set to be bottom right). This all started happening after I updated to plasma6. I searched online and found that typing `killall plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell` into alt+space fixes it for a while. But it's not a permanent fix. Also pre-update I didn't had any problem with my screen going blank while watching Youtube, but now my screen goes to sleep when I watch fullscreen Youtube. I'm sorry that I got no more information, if I should supply some logs or screenshots, please tell me and I will.

    The game starts but I have extreme performance issues. I'm not talking about low fps or input delay, I have a decent gaming pc, and it's relatively new. I'm talking about stutters, heavy ones. I manged to snap two screenshots of this happening on 60fps cap and uncapped: ![](https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/49759e9f-3e3e-4943-b7aa-d88aea042eb0.png) ![](https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/759977bb-d399-4bde-b4ca-33de16084304.png) Almost all video settings are unrelated. If I lower them the freezes also lower in number, but I don't think it's a hardware limit.. if [this](https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/f736c4ad-7a04-45b3-862c-90c86e445f12.png) can't run it on high-med (as I had it) nothing can. I ran some benchmarks and stress test, both on Windows and Linux, both Vulkan and Dx11, It didn't stutter. Some other things to mention is how I run it. From Steam, normally. I have no forced proton selected, I did no other configs. However I might have something fucked as: ![I can run this `.exe` natively. I'm sure I can't so what's going on?](https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/aae84891-f302-4e79-9312-d9643e79a3d6.png) Anyways, thankfully mangohud got me and tells me that I'm using proton-experimental 9.0. (on the prev. screenshots, I had forced proton enabled, stutters the same) I tried using steam tinker, and it says: "using proton-unknown-958". I have no idea what information more to give, I just typed out things that might be related to the issue. If something's unclear or if I should supply more information, just tell me. Thanks in advance for any help or tips. # SOLVED thanks for the tips, this one was solved by u/Leopard1907 over on Reddit. it was my driver, and these two commands: - `sudo pacman -S --needed lib32-mesa vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader` - `sudo pacman -R amdvlk lib32-amdvlk`

    I just started noticing it like half an hour ago. I'm fairly new to this OS, so I have no idea where to look for any logs or anything. I took a screenshot with Spectacle, and instead of it putting it into the clipboard it cleared it. Then when chatting on Discord (thru Vencord) and pressing ctrl-A &amp; ctrl+X to write another message first, ctrl+V didn't paste as my clipboard was empty. the screenshot happened multiple times, text only once. I can't replicate it. I'm on Arch KDE, checked the clipboard setting, I don't have a hotkey that I may be fat-fingering. I tried rebooting. I tried abusing the clipboard while writing this, and just to mock me everything worked. So this might be a spam post without me even knowing, in that case I'm sorry; But please tell me how I can look at the logs, maybe I can catch it red handed still. edit: no problem since, I haven't done anything. Sorry for wasting your time.

    well it's less about surround and more about sinks in general. I have 3 hardware sinks. My headphones, my monitor and my mic for some reason has a headphone jack. When I pick the virtual surround sink as default it works perfectly. However the device I'm hearing the sounds from is uncontrollable. It likes to choose my microphone, so I get no sound. The way I figured out I can temporarily change this is by setting the default to my headset, and back to surround. Now I wouldn't want to do this every time I start listening to anything. How can I make it so that the virtual sink's output is at a specified device. Or alternatively I looked into, maybe I can just disable these unused sinks, turns out I can only turn off alsa ports, which won't do as it'd disable my microphone's source part as well. Arch, kde, pipewire-pulse and wireplumber is installed but I didn't find a use for it so far and I haven't even touched Eqs and bitrates. I fear I'm gonna post a lot. You guys are the only reliable source fr, I read a bunch of docs on a bunch of sites, asked any way I could two AIs.. nothing. is it even possible to do this?

    You have heard the story "I have moved to Linux (arch btw).", well.. this is also my story. Anyways I have problems with my headset's virtual surround. I realized that almost all of the drivers are just simply not working on Linux, but also that there are a bunch of alternatives. I have a HyperX cloud 2 (it was cheap), it's 5.1 by default and 7.1 if toggled. Since I switched to Linux it has been stereo only. And I also feel like the sound quality is worse. I heard somewhere that any headset can be virtual surround if configured correctly. And they sell "gaming junk" because people don't know of this. I'm writing this so that hopefully some of you can teach me how to make any headset surround. I feel like I also must learn how to do this if I'm planning on gaming on Linux. PS: I tough about buying an actual good headphone, but if it's not capable of surround than that's kind of a deal-breaker. I don't play that much, but I remember playing shooters on stereo and they were unplayable, I wouldn't like to lock myself out of those kinds of games.

    I'm studying programming, and I don't agree woth my teacher. She basically said that if we use break (and continue too maybe) our test is an instant fail. She's reasoning is that it makes the code harder to read, and breaks the flow of it or something. (I didn't get her yapping tbh) I can't understand why break would do anything of the sorts. I asked around and noone agreed with the teacher. So I came here. Is there a benefit to not using breaks or continues? And if you think she's wrong, please explain why, briefly even. We do enough down talking on almost all teachers she doesn't need more online.

    I have a simple wish, with a probably not so simple solution. I recently started with linux (Arch kde), I'm loving it, I quickly realized that this OS and almost all apps, are highly customizable, I'm laving that as well. My problem is the unavoidable reinstalls and that I have a laptop. Is there any way that I can save all my configs, apps and my apps' configs, and transfer them over to my laptop, while almost having a very quick back-up. I realize that I could turn it into an ISO somehow, but that wouldn't work (I think) because my laptop has vastly different hardware. I also realize the partitioning problem. So in my idealistic world, there should be a solution that requires a clean install (from scripts or manual) and some .sh file, that installs all my apps, pastes all my configs and reboots. So is this possible? and if yes, how should I go about this? did someone make a tool for this already? Or(!) can I burn it to a flash and the drivers will correct themselves/I'll deal with them later? For final words I'd like to say that I'm far from finished configurating, but I'd like to know the proccess, to not shoot myself in the foot somewhere along the way of configing, thanks!

    Hello all, I've only used lemmy on mobile so far there has been a million and one posts about apps for lemmy for mobile. My plan was to lurk and read something about pc lemmy, and set it up, but I haven't found any. What can I use on desktop to browse lemmy? I know that I can just type my instance and have lemmy, but I wont be able to post in private, defederated, etc. communities. Even so if my instance is down, I'd be just locked out. So basically my wish is to port whatever I have on mobile to pc. A multi-instance &amp; multi-account lemmy client, bonus points if it has a bunch of features, like blocking, or if it's pretty, but that goes without saying. Even a link to a same, but older, question will help, Thanks in advance.

    Hello, me again. I'd like help in workstations. I see all of you jump to pcpartpicker whenever someone wants techsupport, but I'm just looking for general ideas or spitballing. Like whether Amd or Nvidia or Intel. The usecase will be to try out videoediting and maybe 2d animating. There will also be unavoidable gaming on this device. I'd describe it as a hybrid gaming and workstation. My logic instantly went to RAM and VRAM. as that should be the focus, but I don't know whether the speed or the quantity is more important. I also don't know if Amd or Nvidia is better at videoencoding. I'd like tips like this please. NVMe for speed, hdd for capacity, or sata ssd for a mix? recommended MT/s for ram with channels? What gpu cores does premiere use? do I even need to worry about 2d animating? does the x3d modells of amd cpus any good for this usecase? do core # metter or only the GHz? closing point; I know how to pc, but idk how to workstation pc as I only messed with highend/mid gaming pcs. Thanks for any info in advance!

    I'll be brief. I've been looking for a mic for a long time now. My current one started dying and is really bad. All I'd like is some shock absorption, for keyboard and stuff to not be earrape. Some sort of mic arm, I wouldn't like to take space up infront of my keyboard, and to put it behind it would probably be a bad idea. On another note is: please don't say HyperX, I don't really like that brand. mt budget is: as cheap as possible, but still not shit quality, AKA whatever you'd buy
