Maybe this is the push that finally makes IPv6 go mainstream!

Is it so hard to get Nvidia GPUs working with Linux?
I've used Nvidia GPUs with Linux with not many problems. These "horror stories" typically come from people who try to install a driver exactly the same way they would on Windows (by going to the Nvidia website and downloading something) whereas on most Linux distros it's actually much easier.
On Mint, you basically just have to open the "driver manager" and click on the recommended Nvidia driver. Then reboot. :)
There is also a guide available on It's FOSS.

I just realized all my teachers use ubuntu
A lot of my professors of meteorology (and IT courses, of course) also use either Ubuntu or Kubuntu! Love to see it

Feels like we're both getting the wrong content then. 🙃 I do care about Linux and barely see anything about it here.

The Hyperloop was never meant to be built. Elon Musk admitted it was all about fueling opposition to California’s high-speed rail project so it would get canceled.
I mean, it does make logical sense. But does the article actually say that he admitted to it? From how I understand it it doesn't.

Thinking about finally getting one. The 512GB OLED does look very good...
I also wonder if they're ever going to have a non-handheld console (essentially a revamped Steam Machine). I've heard a bunch about people building PCs and running Holo ISO on there as a console replacement, might make sense to have an official solution from Valve.

I feel sorry for men who have to wear pants
Completely agree. While both pants and dresses have their pros and cons, it should be everybody's own choice which one they want to wear. I hope that this is something that will change over time.

I don't need it... 👀
Infinity is going to be great once everything is properly supported!

Google (search engine) alternatives?
I've been using Duckduckgo for a while now, really like the option of using bangs to quickly search on other platforms like Maps, Google News, YouTube, etc.

Privacy with Google's Gboard
My main deal breaker with most open source keyboards is the usually pretty bad multi language support. I type in three languages all the time and don't want to have to switch keyboards every time I switch the language. Currently using SwiftKey, just because it handles multi-language (fairly) well.

How to argue reasonably
From a logical point of view, I tend to mostly agree. The issue is, however, that many people only really change their opinion when they figure something out by themselves. While, in an argument, they won't be able to come back with anything, they'll often still hold on to their original opinion. If your goal is to change somebody's opinion, it can often be more effective to drop subtle hints over time and make them come to their own conclusion.

This has the same vibes as hitting invisible walls in open world games.

Well, that's one of the reasons why I don't like the concept. It just encourages you to eat way too much, because otherwise you won't get your money's worth. It shouldn't be the customers' responsibility to think about the restaurants business model and if it's sustainable for them or not.

what is everyone using for photos?
Immich is still in relatively active development, but has a great feature set and is the only app that could reasonably replace Google Photos for me. Can recommend!

After the redesign I'm honestly surprised half of the world is not on Thunderbird already.

Jup, love that the price is not just not being increased with upgraded specs, the remaining stock of the old Steam Deck variants is actually being significantly discounted.

Wow, I cannot believe I didn't think of this caption myself.

Anyone else run so many services locally that sometimes you don't immediately notice your internet is out?
Honestly, I'd still notice relatively quickly. I'm running TrueNAS at home for file sharing, Jellyfin, backups and (soon) Home Assistant, but most things do run on a hosted VPS. Reason being that I share many of these services with one or several friends and my home is limited to around 30 Mbps upstream.

Why aren’t motherboards mostly USB-C by now?
I'd honestly love to see everything USB-C-ified. Would be great to finally just have one standard to concern yourself with.

No, electric vehicle sales aren’t dropping. Here’s what’s really going on

Highly depends on where you are in the world. I feel like PHEVs might make some sense in America, in Europe demand is shrinking every year since charging networks have gotten fairly good and BEVs offer more flexibility in terms of charging, especially if you can't charge at home.
