i am annoyed at the lack of thought people put into things
nah With all respect, as a proton user, proton docs sucks ass. but that may change in the future
until you realise that wine is virus compatible
no i didn't. i didn't edit a single comment in this thread
the only thing i'd improve at is to pull words out my ass to get the presentation to 10 minute length although everything could be said in 3 minutes. i use AI to take care of the bullshit, then i fact check and improve/rewrite. that way i didi in 20 minutes what others took hours to do
my time on this planet is as limited as yours or any others. i will make the most of it. just cause you don't value your time, doesn't mean others shouldn't too
im only there cause law dictated my presence for my occupation to be acknowledged. i have yet to learn something i didn't learn at my work beforehand
it was an example.
i am still an apprentice so i have to write a lot at vocational college. which i outsource to ChatGPT quite often
or, you know, pursue my hobbies instead of slaving away at my job
yeah imma keep it real with you, i ain't wasting my time writing an essay or sum when i can take one sentence into an AI instead. more free time for me.
however i do not possess the audacity to then claim that i am a "AI writer" or sum
i like the term "zeroed" from cyberpunk as in "they got zeroed" (unsure if that is the correct spelling)
funnily enough on tiktok you can say "fuckass" but you cant say someone's intelligence is akin to that of a toaster or that someone is stupid. i have also seen the n word multiple times
if my dreams are this shit, I don't wanna know what not being in a coma is like🙏
cause we are on the fediverse, and by nature, anyone who goes out of their way to get onto the fediverse is either, a communist, parnoid, a crypto owning tech bro, an anarchist, or a rare exception.
and the first is the largest user bsse
it's the loss meme. i was engaging in the meme
it is also written from the ground up wich means it also has its own engine
can someone explain? im kinda at a loss
a single point? sure, if we play enough i will at some point get lucky🤷
free market? more like PEE market lmao gottem

insane performance increase in Linux over Windows?
so i just installed lethal company (with mods) and chained together. and in both games i got a boost from 40FPS to over 100FPS! so i am curios what the reason may be?
both games seem to be not too optimised, also in chained together i get 20FPS in DX12 mode but ~110 in DX11 so whats up with that?
also lethal company finally uses more than 40% of my gpu and cpu now, for some reason? i assume this plays part in the performance jump.

JBL headphones, James DSP and Root
so, JamesDSP needs root or it isn't able to modify Spotify sound. why is the JBL headphones app capable of modifying all sound without root? i assume it is actually modifying the sound with the headphones firmware, so is there a way to like apply JamesDSP without root? like any way at all?

Help them out a little ;)


Made this one myself😌

Rooting and locking boot loader
are there like any ROMs that Support being rooted and still lock the Bootloader? i have tried LineageOS and CalyxOS but neither of them worked, Lineage just refused to lock, and calyx startet bootlooping with the Message "no operating system found"
better yet is there any ROM that comes pre-rooted?
cause i need a locked Bootloader or otherweise WhatsApp (which i unfortunately need) wont work, but coming from a rooted rom, unrooted android is unbearable

WhatsApp just wont work
i dont know if this is the right place but its the best chance i got.
Phone: Pixel 8 pro Os: Lineage OS 21 (Magisk 27)
i keep getting the error "you need the official app to log in" but i have the official app. like literally the apk thats on their own damn website.
i tried Everything, hiding Magisk, setting up deny list, installing Bootloader spoofer, safetynet fix, play integrity fix, Even backing up the data from my old phone, which keeps me logged in for 5 minutes before i get a "verification expired" messege. like at this point im out of ideas. the crazy thing? on my old phone (pixel 6a, Lineageos also rooted) it worked from the very start, without any of the above fixes.
please, is there any way to get WhatsApp working in rooted LineageOS?
here a Screenshot of the error


Easy APP backup?
Is there an application or method with like ADB or something that can easily make backups of my apps to transfer to another phone? i dont care about configs or having to login again, but reinstalling everything is a major bother.
Bonus points if it applies my home screen and QS-Tile Layouts. But thats just a nice to have.

Hyprland, XWayland and Shortcuts?
So. I have a soundboard application (Soundux) running in Hyprland. I got shortcuts to work by force running it in XWayland however these only work when the application is focused. Is there ANY way that the shortcuts work when i focus another window?
Edit: spelling

Weird stuff with steam, proton, and filesystems
So, I discovered weird behavior when trying to play games on an NTFS file system in Linux.
When i auto mount the drive through a fstab entry, it is only able to launch Linux native games (I think I read somewhere that this is a permission issue).
However, if I mount it through steams "select a drive" option, it works without a problem (so far at least).
I assume this is again a permission issue, as when I mount the drive through steam, I get a Polkit password prompt.
Anyone got a clue what's going on, and/or maybe a way to make the auto mount work, so I don't have to manually mount it after every boot?

x86 tablet os
Like the title says i need an os for a x86 tablet.
I already tested various different linux distros, (mint, ubuntu, debian etc.) with various de's (gnome, xfce, plasma, plasma mobile) but nothing really suits a tablet. I tried android x86 but that wouldn't install.
Basically my problem is that apps etc. Are made with mouse and keyboard in mind making me unable to for example easily scroll as i have to drag the scroll bar manually.
Anyone got ANY recommendation? The default os was mint btw.

remove DRM from Amazon prime downloads?
Edit: solved i just used a paid app that gives you 3 free downloads
Hey, so I have some downloads on Amazon Prime that I want to remove the DRM from, however I only find deleted posts on Reddit or some sketchy programs/sites I really don't trust. Does any of you guys know how to remove the DRM?
I'm willing to do a lot of work if I have to as long as it's free.
Also, if it is an application that does it, I'd prefer FOSS even if it's inferior.
Maybe I can reward the first person with a solution with some movie of choice😉

is there a way to hide the battery saver?
Specifically i want that the baterry icon in my status bar doesn't change color when the baterry saver is on.
I have a rooted phone with magisk and lsposed if that helps.
(My reason for that is that the color doesn't fit with my theming but i need the battery saver to keep my phone from dying throughout the day)

apps for rooted phone
Doese anybody have any app recommendations for a rooted phone with lineageOS?
Things like: A proper file explorer A terminal if possible And apps in general that you can't use without root (i.e. power saver tuner(although it's possible without root))
how do you theme graphical apps in a wm?
Pretty much all graphical apps that dont have thier own theming option (like firefox) are always just the white background default theme. No matter wether it's qt or gtk. Wich files would i need to edit to change that? Searching on the internet only told me that i should change an environment variable bit doing so changed nothing even though i have the themes installed
i call it Blood Night


dont mind that cava is white... i forgot to change that
