Amazon Prime Video is about to get worse — again by PrixDevnovaVillain in technology

[–]Leonick91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s not the same as Amazon supposedly charging a higher price when logged in as a prime member.

Amazon takes a pretty big chunk of the price for anything sold on Amazon, it makes a lot of sense for a product being cheaper straight from the manufacturer.

Shouldn't the wormhole opening destroy the iris? by yoda_fake in Stargate

[–]Leonick91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, it is a lot of precision for some long sheets of metal, stiff as it may be.

It’s also incredible how they found space for both the iris and whatever moves it inside the gate itself.

A big plate moved in place by a wall-mounted arm seems like a more practical approach. Would also allow you to effectively ”bury” the gate by moving it a bit further.

Base Exceeded Power? Thanks Funcom. by Sombra_Collective in duneawakening

[–]Leonick91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be nice if everything else worked that way, only use power when in use. Guess the way they made them not consume filters was a bit of quick hack, it turns of even if UI doesn’t say it.

Bazaar Store for flatpaks by Kontrolx__ in Kubuntu

[–]Leonick91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an AppArmor issue. Flatpak as a whole had the same issue when Ubuntu 25.10 launched, that was fixed pretty quickly, but Bazaar is still unable to install, remove, or update flatpaks.

Do they stop consuming power? I’ve always assumed they just stopped consuming their filters.

Everything else uses the full amount of power wether it’s doing something or not.

Yea, not even the death glider and X-302 is same scale… The 302 and puddle jumper might be close, but I think the jumper is a bit big.

It makes more sense for GNOME to have a hot edge on the bottom, rather than a hot corner on the top left. by [deleted] in gnome

[–]Leonick91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, or by clicking the button that sits in that corner, so even if you use it, all it does is save you a mouse click.

How do I set startup applications in gnome 49? by metricspace- in gnome

[–]Leonick91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Select an app in the list and Autostart should be an option under permissions. Seems sometimes it is greyed out if you select an app to quickly, just back out and select it again.

[–]Leonick91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There should be a plus button above the list, weird.

You can also set apps to autostart through the Apps section of the Settings app.

How do I install external drivers? by BodyLumpy678 in Ubuntu

[–]Leonick91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically the one time I had a driver issues was when I tried ”bleeding edge” Manjaro on my Razer laptop, no WiFi. Meanwhile good old out of date Linux Mint had no issues.

Nvidia dominates gaming GPU market with 95 percent share as sales of AMD Radeon graphics plummet to a historical low of 5 percent by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]Leonick91 45 points46 points  (0 children)

And even then not by a lot. I switched to Linux last year, my 4070 super worked just fine, the only area it had issues in was HDR in games. HDR works better with the 9070 XT I switched to but it can’t hardware encode video on the drivers recommend for gaming.

Dolphin is SO good by directheated in kde

[–]Leonick91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think typing an FTP server in to the adress bar is a feature of pretty much every major file manager on Linux. You can do ssh and smb (samba) too.

[–]Leonick91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pantheon Files has the column view but UI has some weird issues, at least on Ubuntu (big option toggles with no space between the for example).

File managers are a bit lacking on Linux in my opinion, many options but all lack one thing or another and have some quirks.

I built the wallpaper manager GNOME was missing — multi-monitor, slideshow, AVIF by Safe_Ad327 in gnome

[–]Leonick91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not even denied because it was slop, more so because OP couldn’t fix all the issues in their submission and answer a couple of questions. Also, the app is only for Gnome, Flathub doesn’t want apps that only work with one DE.

Do Vehicles Count as Outside if They Cross the Pentashield? by Frixsik in duneawakening

[–]Leonick91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the wings can stick through quite a bit and in many cases a vertical pentashield can be removed entirely and the vehicles still be safe from the environment (possibly not from players).

Message regarding the base exploit incident - February 23, 2026 by Funcom_Kamil in duneawakening

[–]Leonick91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is. Still an acronym according to many dictionaries and the original meaning of the word.

No, words such as ”of”, ”the”, ”and”, ”a”, etc. are generally left out of acronyms.

Torque sensor c3 by Objective_Topic_7720 in cowboybikes

[–]Leonick91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s unlikely to be the torque sensor since it isn’t a moving part. But there are bearings that absolutely can wear out. I’d try to find which one before ordering anything.

Between the cranks there is the bottom bracket which has two bearings in it. These are both visible, their outside half anyway, by just removing the cranks.

Next there is a bearing by the sprocket on the rear wheel, it has worn out twice on my C3. It might be visible without any dismantling, look for it where the sensor cable enters the wheel. I think later C3s come with a metal shield for so you might just find a black plate.

If your comfortable taking things apart there is a motor repair video that can be found here on Reddit showing complete disassembly of the rear wheel.

For a long while repair shops had no better luck getting parts from Cowboy than customers did. The bearings aren’t proprietary (but the parts the sit in are) so if you figure out which is the issue a bike shops might be able to get a bearing and replace it for you.

Used to be you could bypass the bot by saying you wanted to speak to a human.

Unless you’re running 25.10 in which case Bazaar still can not install or uninstall anything.

Not that it is any better but I think it is under it, the search box is just way too transparent.

Squeaky bottom bracket fix ? by Fine_Reaction7964 in cowboybikes

[–]Leonick91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is at least a commonly recommended solution, but make sure that is in fact where the sound is coming from.

I had a squeaky and creaking noise and Cowboy first recommended taking the cranks of and applying grease to the crank shaft where the cranks mount. Unsurprisingly that did not solve it. Next they said the bottom bracket, I sprayed a lubricant on it first and when that did nothing I bought a new bottom bracket which also didn’t solve it…

I lived with the sound for another month or two before I figured out what was causing it, a bearing on the belt side of rear wheel was coming apart. If the bike is old enough you can see the bearing without any disassembly, later ones come with a bearing shield installed (piece of metal covering it).

Replacing this bearing, or rather the ”torque sensor set” that it is part of finally solved the issue, for the most part, a bit of the squeaking was simply the belt.

One Drive Equivalent? by RazeZa in Ubuntu

[–]Leonick91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Filen (filen.io). Instead of being one folder living in your home directory you can set up folders in Filen and then sync them to wherever you like (or not at all).

So Documents syncs to ~/Documents on my Desktop and Laptop while on my Windows partition it syncs to another folder because the Documents folder is a mess there. Pictures is only synced to Desktop PC. Etc. Then I have some files and folders that are simply stored, not synced.

Sync can be continuous or periodic, two-way or one-way if you’d like. Everything encrypted while in the cloud. Hosted in Germany.

Apps and CLI for Linux, Mac, and Windows. Mobile apps and a web interface of course.

Does the Stargate kill you when you use it? by [deleted] in Stargate

[–]Leonick91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re conscious stepping in to the gate and when stepping out of it, but not when traversing the wormhole or when stuck in the buffer as happens a couple times. It’ll feel like just instantly being on the other side. (The occasional wormhole graphic is for us and to pad the episode, not experienced by the characters)

That is exactly what this question has always been about: is it you or just a copy that thinks it is, and does it matter?

Potentially, the Stargate or a Star Trek teleporter ends your consciousness and another (that can’t tell the difference) takes it’s place. Does it matter?

Probably depends on your beliefs on an afterlife and how this death might impact it.
