  • I actually wanted to post something related some days ago. Why happen if I store pirated content inside my VPS? I think the answer is pretty obvious, in their TOS should say that if I do that they will BAN me without warning, but can they detect the files? Or worse, what if I download directly into the VPS with torrent or Jdownloader?















  • It gave me AIDS just reading the comments, and the content of the post is not only irrelevant to the title to attract users, it’s stupid, there is not a single social network in the world that allows its users to be 100% anonymous, which the OP think Lemmy was going to be, I mean, in that case we should all use Lemmy instances through Tor and not even then, we also need to use a VPN and a proxy.

    It depends on each person how much information they want to leave on the network, but as far as I know, 99% of social networks do not have a button to “Delete my information immediately and permanently”, usually that little hidden button only allows you to no longer be able to access to your information, but by creating an account you accepted the terms that they retain your data even after deleting your account.


  • You can try to create a desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications with the command, that would create a program launcher for desktop menus. You can then pick up your ‘application’ in the shortcut menu. That’s pretty disgusting way to do that, but I remember having more success this way for some reason.

    Sounds like an interesting alternative, but what should be the name of the .desktop and what should be its content? Should the content be the typical .desktop filler or just the command I want to use?

    The program as such already has a .desktop in /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications and from the shortcuts settings in Plasma allows me to add shortcuts. but I can not add commands and even worse is that as such I can add commands to anything because there are no options.



  • Honestly at this point I think that before Nvidia does something to fix these problems we as users are going to switch to an AMD GPU.

    I think we have been waiting too long and nothing happens, Nvidia must have possibly bigger interests than fixing their driver in Linux, I have been since 2020 with Linux and the Plasma experience with the proprietary driver in Xorg is still the same, I could believe that it is Plasma’s fault for being badly polished but no, or worse, that it is Linux’s fault, when it is Nvidia’s fault for their disinterest.

    And I know that practically nobody can say overnight that they are going to buy a new GPU to have a polished experience, and that’s exactly what I mean, because maybe someone with an average salary will take 5 years to buy a new GPU, and in 5 years the situation with Nvidia will be the same.
