No, mint had horrible audio issues and gaming stuttered very badly. Bazzite was fast but not nearly as fast as Cachy. Zorin some games wouldn’t even start.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I wonder how many pictures will be lost to time from parents who don't back up or share the photos on their phone?
3·8 hours agoFor the most part, iOS does a fantastic job of bringing up old photos I haven’t seen in a long time just on my Home Screen. I can click in, look at a few, think about those times, and then jump to the next thing I was doing. So some weeks it’s looking every day or two while other weeks less.
I agree that most people probably won’t ever look at their grandparents photos, but maybe that’s because they weren’t good photos? Like someone else said, context is important so marking things that happened makes them more valuable.

6·9 hours agoI look back at photos weekly, if you’re not looking back at them then stop taking them.

1·21 hours agoThanks lol. People being wrong on the internet sucks, but people deliberately spreading misinformation that all experts agree is misinformation is infuriating to me. Just cause some fucking YouTuber said something doesn’t make it true. I’ve stopped watching so many YouTubers because of the bullshit like they make up.
On a topic similar to this though, is plastics recycling, which experts agree that plastics manufacturing hid how difficult it was to recycle for years. But experts say it’s infeasible, while there are companies like Trash Panda disc golf recycling things into disc golf discs hundreds of times. So really the moral is, think critically.
And no one is that tiny except a literal baby.
For me gaming on Cachy is literally faster than it was on windows 10. Of course everything is snappy, it’s Linux, but gaming was very noticeable.

12·2 days agoAi slop article
lol I didn’t see that. Whoops
A USB stick reports itself as a USB stick. A device you set up to report itself as what you want reports itself as what you want. The only thing a computer can talk about a device is what the device reports itself. That’s how computers and peripherals work. The computer provides power and the peripheral tells the computer about itself.
So if you make a device that reports the exact same information as your other mice then yeah the computer thinks it’s the same mouse. But it’s not usable as a USB then. It can’t do other stuff.
Yes your friend plugging in a USB will get them in trouble, cause they can exfiltrate data.
I searched and wtf it’s true. https://aussiefitnesspros.com/products/aussie-tracky-dacks

25·3 days agoI’m not trying to spin anything. He literally made a video where he states he is a liberal arts or business major. I’m not going to go find it cause I’m not going to support him. You can either support the liar or not, I don’t give a fuck. You can also either believe Wikipedia or his own mouth.

12·3 days agoSo I just watched that video and I’m sorry, but that dude is just as bad as Veritasium.
Let’s cover some of the bad science:
- What is this 24 hour time limit for these wipes sitting in water? Clogs happen in sewage systems immediately, not 24 hours later. And it doesn’t even take that long for sewage to move through a proper system anyway, so any clogs would happen at the processing facility where they are worst, not in “twists and turns” like this guy says
- He literally hides what happens to the toilet paper when he flushes it, but he didn’t hide it very well. You can see in later shots (like at 8:26 in the top right) that the toilet paper literally broke up by the time it made it to the concrete. That is how it’s supposed to work. The rest failed by the time they hit the concrete.
- He shakes the mason jars before opening them, then claims it is to “simulate the twists and turns”. This dude is just lying out his ass. Do you know the number of turns before you get from a toilet to the street? It’s like 3. I think every toilet in my house actually only has 1 or 2, depending on which floor. Shaking these up is so badly messing with the experiment. And guess what! They’re still completely intact! But the toilet paper one he barely shakes and yet it’s completely dissolved.
And here’s where we find out what he’s looking for: 12:20. He’s seeing whether these will make it through a house plumbing system. NOT a city sewer system.
Guess what. That same guy has this video from 4 months ago: https://youtu.be/6CQ5rMRvn8I. The title: “The Lie of Flushable Wipes”. He proceeds to say no flushable wipe is safe…wait for it…except the brand he’s selling. And he directly refutes all the bits of the exact tests he ran two years ago. He even says “your sewer system doesn’t agitate the wipes, it’s like a lazy river, slowly turning”.
Think of it this way. The wipes are wet in the package they’re sold to you in. If they haven’t disintegrated in the packaging, they’re not disintegrating in the sewage system. Else they would just sell you wet toilet paper.
I set up a business site recently and I accept payments through both stripe and PayPal but the payment form looks exactly like shop’s so I wonder if people are just using a standard form or something.

131·3 days agoNo that’s literally the experiment that Derek did. He “showed” that the wet wipes “disintegrated”. What they actually did was break apart under a large weight he put on top of them. That’s not what happens in a sewage system. Along with that, unless they completely dissolve they will still cause issues as the broken up strands.
Unless you are a civil engineer you should not be deciding what goes in a sewer. And no one making wet wipes are civil engineers.
No clue, but trusting one company with your info, rather than every company reduces your attack vector massively. My name, address, credit card info don’t have x chances of getting stolen or sold, but only 1.

Linux@programming.dev•You paid me, a long-time Linux user, to use Windows 11 exclusively for a month: here’s how it went
1·3 days agoI didn’t say jack shit about AppImages so clearly you are conflating this conversation with another one. You are the problem here, not me. My message has been extremely consistent. We are talking about installing, that’s literally the only thing I discussed in this thread.



I don’t know what you’re getting at. I have no issues on Cachy and it’s significantly faster than other distros. Are you trying to say that I’m lying? You do realize that Cachy literally is designed to use every trick in the book to make itself as fast as possible? Other distros don’t do that, except specialized ones like Garuda.
