No, I'll have to check it out, thanks for the tip.

Makes sense. Most of my issues tend to be due to my server computer just not having enough resources. I am not familiar enough with whatever backend kbin is using to help with the embed picture feature.

@dumptruckdan @ZeroCool @Moc

Out of curiosity, how so?

@FishFace @scorpionix

I mean, calling them fruits or vegetables doesn't matter when cooking imo.

The reason why I say this is that vegetables are not interchangeable in a recipe and neither are fruits.

Yeah #Fedora is nontrivial when dealing with proprietary drivers. It doesn't just work out of the box. Your best bet if you want to use Fedora and have an easier gaming experience is #Nobara.

@WarlordSdocy @ExperimentalGuy

I have the same and opposite issue.

Part of the reason that I am always using #linux is because so much of my workflow these days requires Linux, that when I play something like a #bethesda game (modding them is just less of a hassle on Windows) it just feels wrong and uncomfortable.

@mexicancartel

Yeah mastodon does that by default and I am too lazy to remove them...

@Amity_Noceda @AbsolutelyNotCats

This is why I love NixOS so much.

@helmet91 @Xylight

I have only really used upstream distros (specifically what I've used is debian, open suse, Arch, Gentoo, and nixOS). I've never had audio issues, except when I first started using Gentoo, as I was missing some compile flags.

That being said I only started using Linux 3 years ago.

At the university I am going to they require a book for every course, and a plan on how they're going to use it.

What's great is that I've all my professors right back. All of my professors include a book that is fairly old and include some verbage in the syllabus about how they "reserve the right to assign reading assignments" i.e. book quizzes, but they actually never have assigned them previously and don't even have material made up.

I'm guessing the reason for this policy is because the university has an opt-out (you have to re-opt out every semester, and you have to check some professors lock their own material) $150 paywall to get online access to your books. The only way I can see this as worth it is if your taking like 6 classes and all of them use books written in the last 5 years or so...

My understanding is that with Pearson stuff the professors often setup the HW through it, so unfortunately this is often not possible.

@ShittyRedditWasBetter @Malfeasant

How does it prevent cheating exactly? I can just fire up a windows VM and it won't know that I am looking stuff up even when proctoring I'd assume.

I've been fortunate to not have to deal with Pearson, so I am not talking from experience.
