As someone who dislikes traditional low flow heads that tend to icepick you with little streams, I highly recommend high sierra showerheads. I don’t know how they pull it off, but it absolutely blasts you with water while still being low flow. Like I prefer it to any other shower head I’ve tried, low flow or not.
They make one with an adjustable valve that let’s you dial in the perfect amount of flow too.
Didn’t centos users switch to Rocky or Alma?
even with wine/yabridge getting paid ones with licence protection running is a mess.
Honestly, because I’m not a fan of intrusive DRM anyway, I say Yarr, matey 🏴☠️
I know that’s not a solution for some, but until there’s more Linux native VST’s, it’s a viable path for those willing to take it.
Running Windows VSTs (virtual instruments) in a DAW like reaper for making music.
Depending on the GPU, you may need to install a PPA and install a newer kernel to get access to more modern GPU drivers to play games, but only if it’s very new hardware.
Doomerism isn’t going to get us anywhere. the US might be driving off a cliff, but the rest of the world is still strongly in favor of renewables.
Lemmy-Federate is a project that automatically subscribes a single bot account from participating instances to essentially pre-seed a community across those instances. The net effect of doing that is posts made to that community will show up on those instances /all feed, and the community itself will show up if users on those instances search it (instead of having to use the lemmyverse.net community search to discover it exists, and then manually federate the community to their instance by searching the community URL in their local instance’s search bar).
Once a real user from a participating instance subscribes to the community, the bot account will unsubscribe.
It makes it much, much easier to get a new community rolling, as otherwise it could take quite some time for people across instances to discover it and be federated naturally (which is even more of an issue on smaller instances, where there may not be a large/active local community to kick things off).
GIMP with the PhotoGIMP overhaul and Resynthasizer plugin (content aware fill) is pretty darn solid. Not perfect, but a massive upgrade from stock gimp.
Just want to chime in that a Krita developer has been working on a complete text tool overhaul from the ground up for the past 5 years or so, and it is just about ready to be pushed into the beta versions, so that pain point should be resolved soon, thankfully.
Don’t sell yourselves short, your instance has a lot going for it due to your efforts!
All that takes time and effort to maintain, and a surprising amount of smaller instances can lack that. So cheers for all that you do, appreciate it man :)

Obligatory Documentary of that event, including interview with LiMux sysadmin that exposes the back alley deals with Microsoft in Germany.
??? Snap support is completely removed in mint by default.
I created !pixelart@retrolemmy.com a few days ago. It started with 55 default sub’s from Lemmy-federate bots, but now already has 200 subs, and users participating with their own art!
Quite pleased with the community response, and grateful to retrolemmy.com for hosting it. They were the perfect instance for that community, and seem to run a tight ship :)
I hadn’t heard of Jami, but that looks excellent, cheers for sharing!
Unfortunately it does not currently support audio sharing, but I’d recommend keeping an eye on Bananas Screen Sharing, as it may support it soon, from what I’ve seen in their Discord discussions.
You can play the game here on Archive.org, or you can download a copy from that page and play it in DOSBox Staging.
Here’s all the physical documentation you’ll need, such as the short story, how to play manual, and an in-world map (you’ll have to draw your own, but it’ll give you a rough idea of the land. If you find map making tedious, you could use a map someone else made).
Lastly, you’ll need this interactive copy protection wheel when it prompts you for a combination in game, right before entering a simulation.
Good luck! :D
A Mind Forever Voyaging, by Infocom.
It’s an old text adventure from the 80’s with a particularly cool and oddly relevant concept: You take the role of an AI that’s been meticulously raised in a simulation to truly become a general intelligence. The reason this project was undertaken was to eventually send you, the AI, into other simulations based in the near future to test the outcomes of various political policies of the new republican government, record your interactions, and report back to the engineers who created you.
The game’s designer said that he created the game in response to the despair he felt from Ronald Reagan being elected.
I haven’t gotten super far in it, but it has an incredibly well written short story in the manual that details all the events leading up to the start of the game, and so far the game itself is unlike anything else I’ve ever played.
I’ll grant you that language is potentially a dogwhistle, but on their blog, they post about Earth day and Sustainability, which is currently vilified by MAGA.
If I had to guess, their marketing team is trying to play both sides.
Without more clear evidence of their politics, I’ll probably continue to recommend them if they get people to stick with saving water, as ultimately that’s the opposite of what Trump’s policies are trying to do.
