I was there! Started on Digg after Kevin Rose mentioned it on The Screensavers (TechTV), joined reddit shorty after.
2006-2009 was peak reddit. Then after digg’s suicide, it was the beginning of the end.
And now he’s is trying to bring it back. I wish him the best of luck. Don’t fuck it up this time, Kevin.
We’re in Lemmy.world but I’m sure they got the message.
And at least the average Lemmy user isn’t a complete fucking idiot.
I remember the early days of reddit, when we would make fun of the kids over at /r/SummerReddit every June. But then those kids grew up, took over the website, and now /r/SummerReddit is all of reddit.

Oh I had no idea. But it makes sense, cause I never see any Russian troll shit on there*
Context?
Your attack missed!
You can pull the Enron card when talking about investments in general; your comments do 0 damage.
That was so funny I forgot to laugh.
Seriously, I do not have faith in USD anymore. What’s left of my paycheck after bills all goes to BTC, and I sell what I need on demand to cover day to day costs. Been doing this since 2019 and it has paid off handsomely.
My portfolio disagrees.
Y’all should have bought BTC when the price was hovering around $19K about 3 years ago. I told you the price was going to go up, but no one listened. Now it’s at $105K, I’m $60k richer, and y’all are still whining and complaining that it’s a “scam”.
Hate to break it to you, but bitcoin isn’t to crash and burn anytime soon. It’s still early; buy in now or regret it for the rest of your life.
That’s why I’m here! :D
The developer of my favorite reddit app (dBrady, Relay for Reddit) decided to play along with Spez’s game and start charging for usage.
So I fucked off, and after testing every Lemmy app I could find, I settled on Voyager. It’s not optimized for foldables like Relay—and it’s swipe gestures aren’t as intuitive—but it’s close and still better than paying to use reddit.
Fuck reddit, and fuck Spez
That’s the nice thing about Garuda; all the difficult stuff is already set up for you, but because the distro is basically Arch, you still have the power to do whatever you want with your OS once you’ve used it for awhile and get the hang of things. If you wanted, you could even strip out all the Garuda stuff and return to vanilla Arch.
That’s why I recommend it for first time Linux gamers. It’s Arch with easy mode enabled. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.
I was really getting into that article, and then it just just suddenly ends. How anticlimactic. I was hoping the article writer was a bit more dedicated towards finding out why Google posted his personal number in the first place…
Does OBS have a feature where it automatically deletes what it records if you don’t press a hotkey to save the footage? I thought OBS was meant mainly for streamers.
It’s a Linux distro made specifically with gaming on Nvidia GPUs in mind. It’s basically Arch, but GPU drivers are included with the installation, and Steam, Proton, and Wayland are already installed and configured for you.
Great performance and perfect for people who don’t want to set up all this stuff themselves, but like I said earlier, no NV Control Panel or NV App.
It also comes with a “Dr460nized” theme that you may or may not like. It reeks of early 2000s adolescence, but I was a teenager in that era so I kind of like it. Of course you can easily disable it and use a more mature theme if you’d like.
For a first time Linux gamer I’d recommend Garuda.
Oh yeah forgot about Shadowplay. You won’t have that either. You’ll have to find a recording app for Linux that uses NVENC (so your framerates won’t be affected).
As far as ultrawides, you may have issues with games that require you to set a custom resolution for them to display properly. I have a 16:9 display and as such, I haven’t dabbled in that field much, so I don’t know how well Linux is at creating custom resolutions from within the OS itself.
It would work but you’ll be missing some features (e: even in distros meant for NV GPUs, like Garuda), especially the Nvidia Control Panel and Nvidia App.
That means no access to the 3D Settings page, so if you need to adjust a graphics setting that isn’t in-game, you can’t. (Like which performance mode the GPU runs in and other settings that can decrease display lag and increase FPS; if you play competitive games it can be a hindrance to not have access to these settings.)
That also means no RTX HDR, so you’ll be forced to to watch SDR YouTube videos and play SDR games in SDR (games and videos with native HDR support will still work, of course). There is no native conversion to HDR in Linux (you can still convert offline videos with MPV, though), which is a damn shame cause even SDR content looks great when converted. Especially games.
That said, if you don’t have an HDR display and don’t play competitive games, you might be able to get by just fine without the features offered by the Nvidia App and Control Panel. Yeah it sucks that you won’t get every feature the GPU supports, but then again you didn’t pay for it, so it’s not like you’re not getting your money’s worth.
You can say that about literally any consumer product, however.
I hope you’re right. Nintendo has turned into a bunch of cocky assholes and they need to be taught a hard lesson. I hope the Switch 2 flops so hard, costing them so much that they don’t have any spare money left to continue suing the Palworld devs. They need to be put in their place.
