You wouldn’t be imprisoned. That would imply due process and habeas corpus.

Enemies of the regime will be disappeared.

I’m not trying to make you feel bad. I just think this is where we are at the moment and I have a hard time not thinking about it.

I use a manual lever, but I start counting when the pressure is where I want it

I have nvidia too. So all good there. Within protondb (you mentioned a Skyrim) you can filter the results by clicking on the cog and selecting GPU > nvidia. Depending on the game you might have to use some steam launch options to try to squeeze as much as you can out of your setup or to enable certain things but that’s usually captured in the comments if it’s required to play.

Sorry to not really answer your question, but I’m just curious what distros and kernel combinations you’ve tried on your 2020 thinkpad that don’t support the hardware keys? I never ran Linux on a thinkpad but I’ve heard that they are fairly well supported. Also, I wonder if it’s an issue with you desktop environment, which ones have you tried? I’ve seen most hardware features seem to work on KDE but many didn’t on xfce for example.As a bit of an anti-consumer, I would recommend trying a few totally different distros and DEs with the latest kernels just to be sure that it’s really not supported.

To answer your question a bit. I’ve honestly not had issues with drivers of any kind on any desktop hardware since I started using arch with KDE. I don’t even bother checking compatibility anymore. This is even true for Nvidia GPUs although there are some issue with Wayland there. For a laptop, I do watch videos of people opening them up to fix or upgrade them before I buy. If the laptop is hard to open or upgrade or if it breaks easily during the process because its only held together with plastic clips and glue then I don’t suggest you buy it unless portability is more important to you than device lifetime.

I don’t have any first hand experience outside of the USA. But from global news it sounds like this is a global trend in places like germany, France, Italy, most of south america, Africa, and Asia too.

Maybe I should say that you should align with friends based on your moral principles rather than politics.

If you haven’t noticed the USA is in the middle of a fascist auto-coup.

So it’s not exaggeration. I’ve had to cut ties with members of my family. Because they believe some people are sub humans that don’t deserve rights or that regions of the globe should be purged.

Not to diminish your position however, I think the problem you are describing is caused by having a lack of a social safety net, not a reason to cut free from one.

Humans are a social animals, and we are more likely to thrive as a community than as rugged individuals.

If I have to explain to anyone that genocide is wrong and that human rights are good. Or if I find someone votes to promote genocide or reduce human rights. Then they are not my friend.

I might try to talk in good faith to them, I might attempt to negotiate with them, i might even exchange pleasantries with them. But they will never have my full confidence.

I do not have to “get along” with a fascist.

If freedom of speech is granted to all and there is legal precedent and long standing tradition for that case then all should be able to have freedom of speech regardless of status.

I don’t think this is bad advice. However I don’t think that it should be limited to just men.

Also I think the group should align politically and be able to support each other in solidarity. They could also use meeting time to plan resistance to fascist regimes.

However there are quite a few people (I am mostly thinking of men I know) that tend to isolate themselves from friends when they need help the most or once they get into a romantic relationship. This is probably not just a men’s issue however.

Its a private platform. They can do what ever they want.

Politicians and other public services should stop using it while they still can.

What are peoples thoughts on simplex?

Man, i loved my old Pebble. It’s amazing they never made any wearable as good.

But I’m not going to buy a new piece of consumer tech while I’m researching how to destroy fascism from the bottom up.

Anything to avoid laying fiber.

Its not for people to buy. Companies like Google simply don’t need to make profit anymore.

Its to show growth potential to investors. And when they inevitably cut the program, it will also show growth potential to investors since then it will be millions of dollars saved.

Takes a look behind the curtain because I like cool things like “advanced tech”, noticed it’s just poorly payed contractors being taken advantage of and discouraged from unionizing.

Schools are surveilling kids. (Full stop)

I think it’s important to ask some basic questions to all affected school district superintendents.

1. Why is the school resorting to surveilling my child?
2. What data is collected on my child?
3. Who do the schools share my child’s information with?
4. How is my child’s data collected?
5. When is my child’s data deleted?

I’m sure you an come up with more.

I’m glad he did, now there is a clear line from when it was acceptable to when it wasn’t.

The USA probably won’t rebrand when its a fully fascist state.

Well again, the claim was that somehow passkeys would stop Lemmy from being flooded by bots.

So in that situation, we aren’t talking about hacking. We are simply talking about if a login could be triggered programmatically. So if Lemmy required passkeys to be used instead of passwords. And if the passkeys required scanning a QR code to sign in. I imagine It would provide minimal disruption to an automated login.

Now if the passkeys somehow enforced a real human to do something that only a human could do, then yes it would stop an automated registration/login. However if it’s possible to automate then it wouldn’t stop bots.
