MFW American democracy is being gutted to pieces by the SCOTUS.

I have experienced an issue sort of like that in the past, where my computer occasionally won’t do anything other than spin the fans, unless there’s a working connection to a monitor…

It’s the GUI software manager, I think the LM developers should get a pass at curating selections for users who wouldn’t know any better.

I personally think they can make it a total non-issue if they put in “some unverified results hidden, see settings to change”.

Surprised how many others are gravitated toward iceWM as I am… though I daily drive MATE

Seems perfect for a functional desktop with minimal idle CPU usage. It had come to my mind again as a perfect pair for the open source e-ink display.

Yes! Your efforts are better spent making Lemmy a nicer place.

Dude. This ain’t a meme. It was passable as a shitpost.

Everyone on Masto/Fedi has been memeing about this since the start: Whatever platform Dorsey’s on becomes Twitter, lol.

Good luck to OOP on their experiment 🫡

If there’s an installer bug, probably not much you can do at the current moment, but the advice is for anyone trying to get any install working in general:

It would be good to have basic information about your system like model of graphics card, CPU, amount of RAM and motherboard. How long have you had the PC with it working?

Software things to check:

• what do dmesg and /var/log say? (ETA: at the part you are at in the distro idk if you can access the graphical terminal, the virtual tty. You can try the debug mode root shell if they have that with the live disk) Anything that stands out as major error categories?
• How did you set up the USB drive? Dd? Ventoy? Rufus? I’ve helped someone install Ubuntu 22.04 recently, for some reason they had a lot of trouble getting it with multiple USBs but this old USB I had worked perfectly first try.

Hardware things to troubleshoot:

• (For new builds) did you plug in the correct PSU cables, all the VGA/PCIe 6+2 pins for graphics and 8pin CPUs? If you don’t have all of them in you may run into more instability.
• Does htop or system monitor or BIOS show all of the RAM installed? If some are missing you may need to clean and reseat it, or replace it if deemed defective.
• NVMe or SATA III disk? Are both cables plugged in properly for SATA?
• Activate the smoke bomb somewhere well-ventilated (by that I mean dust out your PC)

Those types of things would be a good starting point.

Uninstalled from a Windows machine. Now being used as a door hinge?

One tip, if Windows 11 is what you want, you can install W10 and it may prompt you to upgrade to W11.

It’s an app to aggregate your chats over a encrypted Matrix protocol, but using Beeper’s Matrix servers as relays.

There are complaints about the app being closed source, the app being incompatible with other matrix servers besides their own and they will be implementing an optional paid subscription in the future. All valid criticisms, but they also have released the source for the bridges to each service so that tech savvy people can set up their own service using a different Matrix app.

It’s useful for me as an easy way to stay connected with the various contacts on those platforms (until Beeper I was prepared to just go radio silent on them), while still maintaining a degree of separation with Facebook.

There are many honest criticisms of closed-source Beeper, but I use it so that I don’t have to use Meta’s apps which will ever-evolve into more powerful data-consuming monsters that they are.

Their federation protocol was called ActivityTrack, which is different than ActivityPub that much of the Fediverse uses. There were some efforts to host relays that translate between the two protocols but some people got upset that their data is being accessed and processed in order to do that.

Yeah. Ask anyone if they know the difference between the real vs. the nominal value of money. If they don’t they probably don’t realize how much they’re being screwed.

I figured Delta-P would be good enough as well… I had just picked a suitable meme for all to enjoy. Y’all Lemmings are smart cookies!

camel?

For whatever reason it was Puppy Linux, it was kinda cool and small and ran off a 700MB CD.
