Do you prefer Reddit or Lemmy?
  • Lemmy seems a lot less toxic than Reddit. Every now and then I see comments here of people that are assholes, but its not the norm. Whenever I would check the comment feeds in Reddit, so many of them devolve into petty bickering. It seemed like a quarter of the user base set out that day to either be pissed off, or to piss someone else off.

  • Teens Are Sticking With E-Bikes Even When They’re Old Enough to Drive
  • Most of these bikes can go 20 mph+, with many able to do 30mph+ in "off road mode". For someone that lives in a smaller city that doesn't require freeway use, these are a fantastic way to save money on transport.

  • Everyday, as an American
  • You mean base-10? My totally unrealistic pipe dream would be to have the world switch to base-12.

  • Probably a stupid question, but what can I do to 'degoogle' a Google Pixel 8?
  • I've found that the Proton apps do a decent job of replacing Google's suite of apps like Drive, Mail and Calendar.

  • Proton Pass is now available on macOS, Safari, and Linux
  • This is awesome! I'll keep my fingers crossed for a Linux implementation of Proton Drive next!

  • Make This the Summer You Get an E-Bike, E-Scooter, or E-Skateboard
  • Just dusted off my Boosted Board for my first ride of the summer!

  • Gaming vs Regular Distros
  • I'm in the same boat as you. I tried running Bazzite a while back. Most of my Linux experience has been with Pop!_OS, and gaming didn't seem easier than what I was used so, because Pop is already ridiculously easy to run. I'd love to know what I'm missing.

  • GrapheneOS Now Supports a Duress Reset PIN
  • You're not wrong, but like the duress pin, it would be a nice feature to have. Not everyone would have to set a duress fingerprint, just the people who find value in it.

  • Cosmic DE development news
  • I really hope the visibility created by being ported to other distros will allow for more applet development.

  • Just deleted my Google account!!!
  • The Proton Drive app can automatically sync pictures from your phone. The Proton ecosystem as a whole is a good alternative to Google's.

  • GrapheneOS Now Supports a Duress Reset PIN
  • Cool feature, I wonder if a duress fingerprint will be introduced in the future?

  • DE For Multi-Monitor Setup
  • The upcoming Cosmic desktop by Pop!_OS has the exact feature you're describing.

  • Linux user share on Steam breaks 2% thanks to Steam Deck
  • Pop is great for gaming, especially for Nvidia cards.

  • Does anyone here have experience with Firefox Relay's paid Phone number aliases?
  • I was really intrigued by the phone mask offering, but you are limited to 75 texts a month, and 50 minutes of talk time. Given other limitations of the service, I think it's a far better deal to just get a fully pledged phone plan from someone like Mint mobile.

  • What's your favourite F-Droid app?
  • KOReader is a pretty decent ereader option, it matches what I put on my Kobo.

  • Can Anyone Connect to Proton VPN on COSMIC?

    The only thing that is stopping me from daily driving the pre-alpha is the fact that I can't get my VPN to connect.

    Troubleshooting steps so far:

    • Everything suggested on the notification in the screenshot, including restarting, signing out, and trying other servers.
    • Using the Advanced Network Configuration app as suggested by @mmstick in a Reddit post. Tried importing a Proton VPN configuration and entering the OpenVPN info manually.

    It connects just fine in the current Gnome DE, and I don't have enough know-how to understand what's not working in COSMIC.

    Steam Deck game library now 29% larger than that of Nintendo Switch
  • My wife adamantly refused to get a Steam Deck for herself, saying that she would never give up her Switch.

    Cut to one year out from buying one for her, and the Switch has been in a bin almost the entire time.

  • BIG announcement?
  • This might be wishful thinking, but I've been so excited to how Project Virgo turns out. An in-house design from System76 would be amazing, and I hope more info is released soon.

  • I modded my Steam Deck OLED!
  • This looks amazing!! I've been too timid to mod mine, but this might convince me...

  • New Keycaps!

    All keycaps are from SPK (Formerly PimpMyKeyboad), which provides custom keycap sizing for the unique specs of the Launch keyboard. Goes well with my Cosmic DE layout!
