I don't have the know how to talk about safety and privacy, but here are some caveats.

I think you have to use their client and can't add your adress to 3rd party clients like thunderbird. Their client is however nice to work with.

If you forgot your password, the only way to change it is by using a key that is given to you after account creation. Keep it safe! Check for spelling errors If you lost the note or it's not in you passwordmanager or whatever you use, your account is not recoverable. Their support can't help you reset your pw.

Other than that they make email encryption pretty easy with a checkbox right under the recipient in the email editor.

Another handy feature are the aliases. (Payed feature) You can set up some email adresses for certain purposes, and filter their traffic into different inboxes quite easily. If one of them.get's compromised, deactivate and move in. Your master adress is probably still usable.

What I do not like is the fact that paying customers get support first.

I also got me one of those degoogled Fairphones

That's cool. I had no idea fairphones could be degoogled. What OS is it using? Lineage/Graphene or something else entirely?

I think hybrid is the way to go. You won't connect with your peers online the way you do irl, and I it's healthy to leave home from time to time. I also work better in a dedicated office space versus at home.

But as a student in an IT related field: God do I hate the uni pcs. They. would. not. run. unity. once. because of some obscure bug with my user profile and I had to waste my lecturers and my time switching users, trying to install the right version every single lesson. For two semesters I could not parttake. On my own PC at home I could have fixed that within minutes because admin rights and decent internet. Heck, I even asked the IT department if I could have admin rights which they denied, quite understadably. Sorry this turned a bit into a rant.

But cutting commute time and getting up shortly before lecture sure is nice :3

Pretty much any variation of power saw. The closer your hands are to the moving saw, the worse. Hand saws are cool tho. Love my Ryoba

never realized the cheetah is wearing a collar. does anyone know what that could be? Do Biologists put trackers on felines, like they do with marine animals to track their movement/migration patterns?

I don't have a lot of experience with that. I had a Win10 Virtual Machine ages ago, so it is possible but I don't know if/to what extend it could collect your data and sell it.

From my experience (Linux Mint exclusively) you might need to edit config files, fiddle with drivers and packages, and compatibility software like wine, lutris etc. ChatGPT proofed quite helpfull with most of these tasks, and there are passionate ppl on lemmy ready to help you out.

Gaming is in a great spot imo. I can run abt 90% of my steam games thanks to proton, and I was pleasently surprised that some EA games ran without the EA client. Competetive games on the other hand are a bit of a gamble since most of them don't have an anti cheat solution for Linux and won't run.

Based on your country microsoft will run a varying amount of ads in the OS, and as mentioned by other users: telemetry.

Is it worth installing Linux as a protest? Depends. Switching to Linux will always come with a little bit of tinkering involved. So the answer depends on your willingness to spend some time to learn a new OS. But it offers you the opportunity to gain some control over your machine, privacy and learn some things.

Saws. The sound they're making shakes me to my core and having to help someone who almost amputated their finger enforced that fear further

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

You make a good point. I also used Telegram some years ago and never gotten invites to questionable channels, although I think you can search for channels in the app. But another way to learn about them is through influencers advertising them on social media like Twitter, facebook, insta etc. which brings us full circle xD

on twitter it's in your face

I wrote a lengthy paragraph and realized that I don't know how bad it is, and how to act accordingly. I agree with another person saying, that they are against bans on media. Maybe the EU could offer a compromise: Abide by some fancy schmancy laws that address content moderation or get lost. But then again, I do not trust politicians in the EU parliament to a) understand the technology and it's limitations b) be interested in this, since there are many conservatives who could actually benefit from twitter being in the state it's in.

Not a fully formed opinion yet; but since X is ran in a way that encourages populism, misinformation and extremism, yeah. Maybe it could make it harder for extremists to connect and recruit new people. But if that is the goal, banning X is not enough. Platforms like Telegram are also popular for harboring extremists. So it would probably need a widespread effort across public platforms to be regulated and better moderated.

My GPU's fans spin either at 100% or stand still. they rarely ever dip below 1000rpm, and if so, only shortly (see images below). This worries me, and I am 99% sure I'll refund that card, but before buying a new one, I want to make sure the fault is not with my system. This is my first AMD GPU and I am pretty green in Linux.

So far I tried adjusting the GPU's fan curve, with fan-control and CoreCtrl but it didn't change the erratic fan behavior.

I checked my BIOS for 0rpm mode, but couldn't find anything. It also only let's me configure CPU and sys fan curves.

Is there anything I can try before sending the card back to fix these issues or -best case- verify the card is actually causing the issue? I'd hate to get a replacement and face the same issues again.

specsLinux Mint GPU: acer AMD RX7600XT CPU: AMD Ryzen 5800x RAM: 16GB DDR4 @3600mHz; G.Skill Tridentz Neo MoBo: MSI B550Pro-A

imagesTemperature and fan curves over the span of 20min; green = fan rpm, yellow is GPU junction temp, blue is GPU edge temp

Temperature and fan curves over the span of 20min; green curve is fan rpm, yellow curve is GPU junction temp, blue curve is GPU edge temp

Update I REMed it and will get the same.card again, but from a different, more widely adopted vendor. I don't want to spent another week troubleshooting an issue I may not have the skill to fix.

Thank you all for your input :)

Habe ich zwei Tage damit verbracht mein Problem zu beheben? Man weiß es nicht, aber hier ist ein zusammenhangsloses Bonus-MaiMai

Recently bought a RX7600XT and experienced lagging in Krita and flickering in blender since. I installed the drivers from AMD's website, and ROCm.

I am unsure and totally overwhelmed as to what could cause these issues. ~~ChatGPT always wants me to edit /etc/default/grub, but I am not sure why and what the bootloader has got to do with it?~~

These are quite a lot of questions and few information. If you need anything I am more than happy to provide any information.

Sys Info

  • Linux Mint Cinnamon 22

  • Linux Kernel 6.8

  • CPU AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

  • GPU AMD Navi 33 Radeon 7600 XT

  • RAM 16GB @3600mHz | 36GB Swap

I upgraded my trusty old GTX1060 to a RX7600XT. Everything works as it should except for blender. It doesn't find the GPU as a rendering device.

Since the driver manager states "No drivers needed" and when running glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version" in the terminal, it outputs OpenGL version string: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 24.2.8-1ubuntu1~24.04.1 I figured I had all important drivers installed.

I don't know why blender won't find the GPU. Do you have any advice for a newbie?

sys specsLinux Mint 22 Cinnamon Linux Kernel 6.8.0-53-generic CPU Ryzen 7 5800x GPU RX7600XT MoBo MSI B550A-Pro RAM 16 GB @3600mHz

Solution: Didn't have ROCm installed. For anyone with the same issue, here is a link to the guide I used. I don't know if these were necessary for the solution, but here are the amd drivers, just in case ;)

I am running Linux Mint 22 with Cinnamon v6.2.9 on kernel v6.8.0-53-generic and would like to upgrade to a newer kernel. I tried via the update Manager, but the newest kernel listed is the one already in use and I am wondering why?

  • Are the kernels listed based on my hardware?
  • Is my Cinnamon version too old for newer kernels?
  • Is my Mint Version too old for newer kernels?
  • Do I need to update my BIOS? I was too scared to do that in the past three years I owned my system.

Here are my specs:

  • CPU AMD Ryzen 7 5800x
  • GPU nVidia GTX 1060 6GB
  • 16 GB RAM @ 3600mHz
  • MoBo MSI B550 A-Pro

I quite new to Linux and don't really know what I am doing. Therefore, if you need any other information I'll be happy to provide it.

 

I hope it's okay to ask this question here, since it seems to differ a little from general posts.

I am currently looking to upgrade my workstation GPU and AMD's pricing is far better suited for my budget. But I worry a lot about the driver stability, since I witnessed some true horror stories with AMD drivers back in 2020. I have also read that they've gotten a lot better in the meantime.

So if you happen to use an AMD GPU: How was your experience with productivity software (Unity, UE, Maya, blender etc.) so far?
