Someone tell them microphones can be described as a transducer, maybe they’ll quieten down. I guess all combustion engines , furnaces and motors / generators are too technically.

Yes I think i tended towards the latter view because I just don’t see much real world action or organising going on here.

But some of the stuff posted does seem a bit sus - it’s almost a caricature. Even quite radical people usually have some ability to reason or engage in moderate discussion.

I guess it doesn’t cost law enforcement much to keep an eye on this, and I’m sure lots of the terms used will flag in their webcrawlers and such.

A few spooks and a few bots can probably do quite a lot across a lot of different social media so really not hard for them to have some presence here for minimal effort.

There’s a fair history of security services acting as agents provocateur infiltrating socialist and trade union movements to split them apart get evidence or ‘intel’ to imprison leaders. Certainly in the UK that was a part of their union busting tactics. So it is something to be aware of.

I’m not sure that is what is happening on here though. I’m also not sure if that’s what OP was referring to.

Some useful stuff for some laptops - worth checking if you’re buying one for linux:

Also this - i guess this is the inverse question though:

That PSU sounds good enough to me.

Could be worth a motherboard firmware update?
and i would double check all the power cables.

It looks ike mangohud is an application to monitor stuff. I’ve never used it but you could give that a go - see if you’re ever getting close to the 750W.

I’ve experienced random stuff like that in past - not exactly the same though and not that chip.

I’d suspect power issue, either cpu and/or gpu causing a spike that results in some voltage rail to go unstable. More likely GPU, unless your applications are really thrashing all cpu cores.

How old PSU? how much headroom? how good brand of PSU? Might also be a motherboard power management issue.

Also - it might not hurt just to unplug and reseat every power cable.

Michealwaves have like 200 times more michaelfarads of capacity.

I don’t post actual threads, but my most downvoted comment was this one that I’m quite proud of:

Debian is a joke, it is so far out of date it is unusable for anything except cave-painting or maybe a stone circle.

Ubuntu is way better.

So yeah, I’d recommend OP baits linuxmemes. I think it has more users, more touchy, less sense of humour. But you’re also less likely to get your post banned in a memes forum.

Did you try asking “Will you please downvote this?” in “nostupidquestions”.

I don’t think it’ll beat ragebait though.

Go pagers and payphones. Jump the 5.

Looks like it was also getting turned into an fur scarf.

MS is who they choose - I think its all bundled in with windows and azure and dynamics and office and that stuff. I think MS is trying to use their B2B OS deals to get some market share from AWS, so they’re probably offering cheap deals for now.

MS doesn’t allow 3rd party 2FA. They created a proprietary algorithm so no other apps can do it.

As of now, I find very few apps beneficial, convenient or time savers - maybe I’m a weirdo luddite. Most apps seem to be for pastimes anyway so saving time seems odd - I prefer to take time to savour my pastimes. I think mp3 player app, and organic maps are the real ones that I actually find useful.

But refusing GPS/microG and therefore Microsoft Authenticate will become a problem for me quite soon I think. For now a phonecall still works, but I think it’s only a matter of time. Once that goes I might have to quit my job, and will struggle to find one in my field that doesn’t require it, so I guess I’ll have to look for less skilled work or retrain, and I’m far too old for that shit. That’s where it’ll get constraining, when the tentacles of bundling enwrap and bind many other aspects of real society.

I really hope the EU keeps on at MS for bundling and other market power abuse, it seems so obvious that they’ve effectively ignored the fines from the old Internet Exploder case, and ramped up their misbehaviour regardless.

Of course the twats where I live are easily radicalised against EU regulations (or any regulations really) , so I’m probably still fucked. But at least someone needs to stand up for consumer rights and competition and keep kicking MS in the balls every time they pull their dick out to fuck consumers. Ideally kick them harder and harder too, ‘punitive damages’ are more than justified due to them being a repeat offender.

I was thinking about blendOS at some point - it seemed like a decent proposition the best way to stick with arch, but have the declarative and atomic bits, without going to a new nix thing that sound like a more extreme nerd cult.

But I never did, I’m still mainly on Arch+XFCE or arch+kde, or debian+kde, or debian+xfce in my house.

I think I didn’t do it because I’ve never really heard of BlendOS , no established track record. No one ever recommends it. So it might not still be there in 5 years, so I’d have to be sure it’d all still work if the project ended. Meh, too much bother to figure that out.

If this promised deluge of PCs comes along soon i’ll maybe try it on a spare machine.

I think most people will say go fedora due to track record - but i never liked it when i last used it - a long time ago.

If it’s a niche it should probably have a dedicated community for it: e.g. c/cooking@lemmy.world

Personally I did like the button sewing post, maybe that is generally useful enough that everyone should know. But I’m already in a few repair/DIY community that never get enough posts, and I’ve just found a ‘Sewing, Repairing and Reducing Waste’ one where it’d fit too.

Maybe it could be tolerated but should have a tag like [NICHE] in a title and a recommendation that OP should cross-post it as a way to promote/ support the other communities.

hand sanitiser probably works.
