A thing that has helped me a lot is to go buy food when I’m not hungry. It reduces my chance of overeating and buying lots of food, also making me spend less money.

When I used to cook a lot for myself in uni it helped a lot to plan meals.

Plasma 6 started very prone to crashes in my laptop when it released. I like how it works a lot more than Gnome, but Plasma tends to be buggier for me too.

This last month I’ve been having rendering issues in a lot of software, like Firefox and Okular in Fedora 41 (and now 42). I don’t know where they came from as it was pretty much perfect last month.

Sometimes I think I’d prefer to return to xfce in laptop (like I tend to use in desktops) or use labwc.

I think similarly. And 4chan wasn’t the only website affected, it happened to reddit and to pretty much all social networks. It was very drastic, like somebody flipped a switch on the internet that year. You could tell astroturfing was way more intense than usual.

I’m not sure if I got used to it, but it feels a little bit more mellow nowadays, with flare-ups in key political moments, but 2016 was a 365 day effort.

Cool. My sense of smell isn’t that good, so it’s kind of curious to know some people are that sensitive.

The first time I noticed it on someone else, it was someone with a crush on me who had to spend all day with me, so not exactly fear, but nerves.

What did you do about it if you could notice? Has it ever worked in your favor?

Somebody should probably archive the book drm free, in case it gets taken down from digital stores. No ill intent towards the author, I mean it just in case it gets removed.

Xfce and Debian is the best combination. Stable, lightweight. Overall pretty good.

I imagined, but I was too lazy to actually look at the colors lol. Thanks for explaining :)

Wouldn’t the second one make more sense as an upside down pyramid?

there is a small contingent of .world liberals who I’m sure will take this opportunity to bash anyone to their left.

They are very active though, and they don’t lose their chance to mention and antagonize .ml, which I think is kind of shitty. It happens even in threads where people are commenting about stuff unrelated to politics. lemmy.world is constantly looking for targets to defederate from.

edit: I’d like to mention that I’m not disagreeing with you, I’m just giving my perspective on it.

A lot of people in the lemmy.world instance loves to spend time making threads about .ml or lemmygrad. Sounds like unnecessary drama at least for the lemmy.ml instance.

To be fair, it’s a laptop with an Nvidia GPU. Though I only use Intel’s integrated graphics in a clean, vanilla Fedora 39 installation (no weird extras or tricks on top). I actually installed it from scratch because switching from Gnome made some things a bit iffy.

I’ve had issues with windows disappearing into corners I can’t reach in my own screen (happens with Firefox, not sure if other applications are affected as well), random and complete freezes (keyboard nonresponsive) and I can’t drag and drop files from the file manager into mpv or view files properly with it or Fedora’s default video player for KDE. Gnome as limited as it is, manages to be a way smoother experience.

I really want to like KDE but my experience hasn’t been the same. I even donated to the project lol.

I like the UX KDE gives over Gnome. It feels way more like a personal computer, something that you can modify and do multiple tasks with.

Gnome is a lot more limited in functionality, but it’s also a lot more stable. KDE is buggy and has a tendency to crap the bed a few minutes after startup, which never happened to me with Gnome.

It’s a though decision, but lately I’ve been thinking of switching back to Gnome.
