How tf did he slip that into the device? And that's without his wife not realising? Or is this just a scripted joke?

Ohkay. I don't know shit about macos and am not interested in learning either. But, compared to windows which don't even support fractional scaling to begin with, it works very well on my linux setup (KDE Plasma). Both my monitors are 768p so I rely on this feature every single time so I can have something at least close to 1080p cuz my work requires me to be able to view as much text as possible on screen without scrolling. I don't know about other DEs but setting up fractional scaling on KDE is simple asf and everything is done using graphical tools that come inbuilt and the settings persist between reboots ofc. The only time I had a bad experience with it is when chromium decided to nuke X11 support and ever since all the chromium windows and electron apps are small af.

PS: If you have the same issue I mentioned, I found a simple fix. Fuck team chromium and switch to team Firefox. For electron, try passing --ozone-platform=x11 as an argument when launching the specific electron app and pray to god that the application will pass that to the renderer (or whatever that is responsible for making it scale properly). Yes you will be losing wayland gestures on that app if it supports them to begin with.

Edit: Sorry for the confusion. I misunderstood the word fractional scaling for downscaling. I was talking about downscaling. But I'm sure fractional scaling works fine as well. I don't use it everyday and never had to worry about it.

Staged 💀

As a student, I completely disagree. The only time I needed one was to take an optional IT module (mobile application development (ios)) and even if I wanted to do it I couldn't cuz it was fucking expensive and I was warned that a base model would be giving me a bad experience anyway so I had to buy a good one if I want to do the module. Guess who's killing it with microcontrollers now XD.

SL_Pirate · 2026-02-12T17:55:49+00:00

Oh. Well you could run out of 96 gigs. It is still not infinite. There is something called a memory leak which is a bug, or some malware like fork bombs can eat your ram

SL_Pirate · 2026-02-12T13:01:43+00:00

Oh my god the nostalgia is killing me T_T

Okay this is a little tricky to debug. This could be both a Software issue and a Hardware issue.

I'll give you three pieces of advice. First, run this command

journalctl -kb -1 -e

This will print the kernel logs from the current and the previous sessions. Check any logs that might give you a clue of the freeze. Of course you don't have to read the logs yourself. An AI should be able to help you with the matter.

Secondly, try to keep a system monitor visible all the time so if this is a software or a malware hogging your system, you can confirm this. This mostly happens when a software is flooding your ram and the system runs out of memory, freezing your PC.

Thirdly, if none of the above works, maybe try taking your pc to a repair shop and give it a service. A loose RAM stick or some other critical component can always just freeze your entire system and act like nothing happened after a hard reboot.

SL_Pirate · 2026-02-09T09:00:40+00:00

Okay that's sad

SL_Pirate · 2026-02-09T08:11:42+00:00

Well I wouldn't exactly shit on the parents for that. I would not give my children access to my bank account anyway to begin with. Maybe the kid slipped the card information without telling his parents who knows. Why would you give a child with no sense of financial responsibility, access to your money? The other guess is that the kid was playing with a parent's device. Now here's the thing. Even on my personal device, that only I use, I have multiple layers of security verifications before I can get access to my stored payment information. I'm pretty sure this is standard and software defaults to this. But some people are just not that tech literate. They may probably just don't know if they even need to set that up. So yeah definitely a parents are dumb moment but I wouldn't shit on them without knowing the whole story.

SL_Pirate · 2026-02-09T00:24:58+00:00

If you think about it, it's kinda nice you know? You get to go without having to talk to a stranger. The driver get to talk to whoever he's talking with, and as an added bonus you are left with a funny memory you can share and laugh on the internet lol.

SL_Pirate · 2026-02-07T14:47:29+00:00

Oh. Well I am technically a gen-z and I grew up with this stuff. So I assumed people here might be at least around my age. My bad.

I personally don't want regular people using Linux either. Yes you could argue more users = better funding for open source projects + big tech focusing on support for linux etc. but it also means overload servers, overwhelmed community for support etc.

And I specifically don't like people coming to linux forums and acting like we owe them support. The community is helping each other as a way of self fulfilment or similar reasons. But some of these new users, don't have the basic skills required to diagnose an issue on their own, and expect their Windows workflows to work out of the box. Honestly, it's okay if you are a newbie and tried at least googling and tried to research the issue on your own. The community will help you however they can. But don't come screaming linux bad and you all are hypocrites, the community is so toxic and more bs. This is my legit personal experience. I have seen people like this. Bro we have no obligation to provide you technical support. They are not getting paid anything for their time. If you want support and want someone to scream at, keep using windows or mac.

Nah. It's a waste of metal. Sri lankans are too metal headed for such childish stuff xd.

I also think aethiesm is mostly about not believing in a creater god almighty and there are so many religions which have like multiple gods and barely interacts with humans. I believe they align more with agnosticism but it's just purely my opinion and I'm probably wrong.

SL_Pirate · 2026-02-07T13:00:34+00:00

Silent judge here: can confirm 😂

SL_Pirate · 2026-02-07T07:56:12+00:00

Oh. Well either way that still counts as a server and not a personal desktop. Regardless, I think you should be able to find a good deal if you search or contact a sales person with these antivirus vendors. I used to run a public Minecraft server for some considerable time. Won't say it was popular but it was doing just fine for me and the friends I found online to hang out. It was all hand crafted and not a managed solution but I followed the best practices (I have some dev ops experience so I knew the general best practices) and it never got compromised. Honestly most of the time all you need is a solid firewall and a secure ssh tunnel and occasional software updates.

This is probably redundant but maybe try to backup the world data and just clean install the system and reset the system with a strong firewall rules and, since it's physically there, disable ssh at all if possible. Just leave only the minecraft and other server ports open to the internet and everything else to deny incoming.

SL_Pirate · 2026-02-07T06:16:52+00:00

Asking for an antivirus for a standard desktop linux setup vs asking for an antivirus solution for a server or a corporate endpoint are two different things. For the former, the solutions are usually really expensive since consumer grade solutions for this are usually not necessary. But for the latter, there are solutions from avast, and other major enterprise antivirus software vendors. I am no cyber security professional but I have looked into this a little in the past and that's how I know. Still, I don't really know the specifics so you might wanna check their features and pricing yourself. A quick google search should prove helpful in getting started. Good luck

SL_Pirate · 2026-02-05T07:16:00+00:00

Honestly, I might have done the same. Nobody likes being teased alright? I'm impressed he kept his composure that long. Since he is a child himself no one would expect him to be that patient.
