I put a 3060Ti in my latest build. The NVidia drivers would consistently hard lock my PC after about a day of uptime no matter what I did. I spent ages trying to hunt down the issue, and waited through several kernel and driver versions in vain hope, fuelled by people insisting that the NVidia drivers were "good now". I switched to nvidia-open once that released (or once I realised it existed) to no avail. Nouveau was not available at all for those cards when I started and was still missing critical features at the end.

I think this is the first time I've ever encountered a kernel crash in nearly two decades of Linux computing. And second, and third and...

I switched to an AMD card, a 7600 (a generation newer! In case anyone thought this was a "new hardware" issue) and the problem was immediately gone, and my PC has returned to being my sanctuary.

My problem is exceptionally rare - I think i found one other person experiencing it over the course of 1-2 years. But the concept that NVidia had redeemed themselves continues to ring hollow for me.

Secret out-of-court settlement is an option.

Also known as "bribing your way out of the law"

Partitioning is something I don't mess with on the terminal. Last time I set up a new drive I used SystemRescueCD first just to use gParted before installing arch (manually)

What was your experience with Inkscape and Godot? I have those both installed from repo.

I've never felt the need to use flatpak at all on arch.

Check ArchLinux.org for news before you kick off an update. It's got an RSS feed and a mailing list if that helps.

Read the Wiki, and turn to it first for any issues you have.

This one may be a special "me" problem, but if you're manually interacting with wpa_supplicant, stop and go read the Networking page in the Wiki again.

Learn how to use journalctl (at least superficially) before something goes wrong.

Generally you want to restart after an update to the kernel or graphics drivers or things start degrading strangely.

What is "it"? Webmentions? Webmentions can be sent from anywhere, not just places you're actively monitoring. They can be used for example to create a comments section on your blog which amalgamates comments from various syndication points.

That is, you post to your blog, you post a link to your blog post to twitter/Facebook/lemmy etc, and comments or replies from any of those can show up on your blog itself if you so choose.

IndieWeb in general and the h-entry and WebMentions specifically.

Collectively they promise a highly personalised web experience that maintains ownership of your own content while encouraging socialisation across platforms, while avoiding the sustainability and scale limitations of activitypub.

I also want to see XMPP/OMEMO have a comeback.

Koalas are quite capable of running across the ground.

I love that the replies to you are half saying that it's an impossible problem, and half linking to existing solutions.

Krishnan told Ars that "Meta is trying to have it both ways, but its assertion that Unfollow Everything 2.0 would violate its terms effectively concedes that Zuckerman faces what the company says he does not—a real threat of legal action."

For users wanting to take a break from endless scrolling, it could potentially meaningfully impact mental health—eliminating temptation to scroll content they did not choose to see, while allowing them to remain connected to their networks and still able to visit individual pages to access content they want to see.

According to Meta, its terms of use prohibit automated access to users' personal information not just by third parties but by individual users, as a means of protecting user privacy. Meta urged the court to reject Zuckerman's claim that Meta's terms violate California privacy laws by making it hard for users to control their data. Instead, Meta said the court should agree with a prior court that "rejected the argument that California law 'espous[es] a principle of user control of data sufficient to invalidate' Facebook’s prohibition on automated access."
