This conversation is about how a user got permabanned for politely describing their dislike for the Sync app. You responded by saying that you like Sync. That's not a reason to permaban someone else.
None of that means that a person should get permabanned for disliking it.
It's absolutely absurd to even warn somebody that Thou Shalt Not Dislike Sync. Fuck those mods. And based on this alone, Fuck Sync.
It's not even mean. And this isn't some niche sub specifically about Sync. It's the most generic sub imaginable. Are they paid by Sync?
FYI Izzy got permabanned for stating this opinion. That's really insane.
F droid is EXCELLENT
They literally don't have a choice. No decent candidate has made it through the primaries in decades. In the GE voters can only choose between two Monstrous Goons whose job is to help corporations to dominate and exploit the citizens.
I'm surprised anybody was getting in vehicles with him after the coup attempt.
I'm all for banning guns.
But I am NOT interested in simply removing a person's capacity to kill themselves and then leaving their desire to kill themselves intact... and then ignoring the conditions that are making hordes of people depressed enough to kill themselves.
I'm also 100% interested in the people who are depressed but who aren't suicidal. I want people to live their best lives. This conversation should be about them, about what's causing this about whether we can help. I want to know what's wrong. I want them to stop wanting to kill themselves.
Again, I'm not saying "don't go to therapy." We are talking about a nationwide phenomenon of depression, suicide, addiction. Therapy can help some of those people. But this phenomenon has some cause. All this talk of therapy is seeking to add therapy instead of removing the cause.
I want to respond to the cause itself, rather than only adding therapy.
Therapy can possibly help heal. I'm more interested in reducing the conditions which make therapy necessary.
Increased gun ownership isn't causing a mental health crisis.
I 100% agree but I still appreciate anarchism as a critical position. Not a system to actually implement, but a criticism of the corrupt nature of the current regime.
I'm not an anarchist but I'd miss their perspectives if they weren't around.
The fact that public healthcare probably won't happen is different from the argument that we should trust predatory insurance companies.
Plus you don't have to go to China for public health care. You could go to Canada or the UK, obviously. And they're capitalist as fuck. Although capitalism will likely get rid of their public healthcare eventually, they haven't succeeded yet.
Wow I had to look up the oven fix, that's crazy that it sometimes works! I'm not going to try it though. I might get a new GPU.
Thanks for the answer!
My PC started glitching out like this and I don't know how to find the cause.
Columns of red lines dominate the screen, and certain characters aren't being displayed during startup. This happens with every operating system and every monitor. I can only get into the OS in recovery mode.
Did my CPU get fried? My motherboard? GPU? Corrupted BIOS? How can I find out?

You're suggesting that the cause of a wave of suicides is only a lack of therapy? There's nothing else behind it?
why "exclusively" ?
How will it prevent people from wanting to kill themselves?
Where are you getting this 2a stuff from? How is it even related? Nobody said that guns will save the USA from suicides and overdoses. You're talking nonsense.
And who is "angry for no reason?" You're the one angry at men who are killing themselves. This is super weird and cruel.
I need to just pick a distro, install it on all my laptops, and become an expert on that one. Forget the rest!
I've got Void on my T420 (for writing), Mint on another T420 (hosting my music files) and an x380 yoga (with ubuntu studio controls for music production), NixOS on a T440p and a T430, and EndeavourOS on my T16. Previously I ran Arch and Debian on a couple machines, too.
Arch is really fun. I probably just enjoy giving in to my OCD tendancies, so that gets satisfied with my EndeavourOS install. That SHOULD be my final distro, the one that I use forever, eschewing all others.
But there are two problems:
- Too many updates. I fear leaving a laptop in the drawer for a few months and then it crashes when I update it.
- I'm getting nixpilled
Nix is obviously awesome. I love having that master config file. But the nix repos aren't as robust, and there's a learning curve to getting everything to work. So now I'm telling myself, "become an expert at nix and then you'll finally find your home!"
But meanwhile Debian beckons. It's so tempting to just go back to the safest, stablest distro with all the packages and all the documentation.
I know this is silly but it actually bugs me. Why can't I just pick a distro?
Has anybody gone through this and then actually made the decisive move to stick to a distro? What compelled you to finally pick one?
Today I installed Windows on my laptop and then I visited Reddit without being logged in. The two experiences are very similar.
I usually use Linux, so installing a new OS is really clean. You just end up with an empty operating system and you can do whatever you want.
But while installing Windows the damn program kept asking me for information and pressuring me into giving up my email address and phone number. Then when I finally got in, it's full of apps like fucking D!sney and Sp0tify... GTFO.
Then I go on Reddit, which I usually think of as a place where people post funny paragraphs and interesting questions... BUT NO... now it's just a splash page full of pictures and ads and other bullshit.
I know that you already know this, but it's sooo annoying and ugly.
My OS and software are on a 2280 nvme 1TB drive. I'm thinking of installing a 2nd m.2 2242 drive in the wwan slot (it does work on my laptop) and putting my drum samples on that.
My question is, would this increase performance?
