I already have another guitar for different tunings but I really like the Cabronita-like because it was a gift and I want to use it for the genres I play. A pickup swap sound good and it'll get me to play it more

I have a Cabronita style guitar (Harley Benton). I would like to swap pickups with some hot humbuckers but I don't want to have to carve the body to accomodate them. I'm looking for recommendations

My recommendation would be to have Linux on the 500gb drive and then install windows directly on the other drive without partitioning. I wouldn't install Linux on a partition as Windows likes to mess with the bootloader but if Linux is on it's own drive you can always boot it from EFI without issues.

Fuck Empress, however she's right on this specific matter.

Easy actually. I'm on arch (Hyprland) right now, so no longer EOS but it's been refreshing. I'd recommend EOS as a base for any arch install, better than "arch installer" by a long shot. If you have dedicated storage I'd recommend using it and booting to the respective system through EFI rather than relying on software bootloader (windows likes to break it). I am running arch on a dedicated SSD and it's been smooth so far.

Lemmy instances run on servers which are funded by donations. I don't see how Sync (which is made by one developer) gets to be frowned upon because there's a price for ad removal. All FOSS projects are somehow funded, usually by donations. Nothing runs for free.

If we get to use all the FOSS Lemmy apps is because someone put in the time and money to make it happen.

What rubs me the wrong way is the $20 ask to remove ads

I would feel the same way if Sync was the one and only option to view Lemmy on mobile but it's not. You can use all the other FOSS apps which don't have ads.

By the way you can install a global adblocker on your phone to remove all (well, most let's say) ads across your device. I use one and don't see any ads on Sync, just a blank square.

I've tried pretty much all the FOSS Lemmy apps I could get my hands on but the experience Sync provides is far superior. I'm an ex Boost user and since I couldn't find Boost for Lemmy I naturally gravitated towards Sync and I'm not looking back.

As a Boost user I'm glad this came out first. I was getting tired of waiting for Boost to release a Lemmy app, this one feels much better.

I felt the Adobe part. I bought Photoshop CS2 back in the day then sadly lost the license key a few years later. I never felt bad for pirating the latest version.

Another example of ethical piracy would be when offline games force you to be online all the time. Minecraft forces me to be online to play through the official launcher. Since I also play with mods that are still a few versions behind, I downloaded a cracked launcher so I can play even when I don't have internet access.

I've been using Wayland (Hyprland) for a couple days now and I notice there's no support for Nvidia settings. Nvidia X Server Settings will open without the possibility of making any changes.

Do we know anything about future plans on integrating Nvidia settings on wayland?

I told myself I wasn't gonna do it anytime soon but I distro hopped from Endeavour OS to Arch with Hyprland in the span of 3 days. Nothing against endeavour. I just tried to customize, broke some stuff and decided to try Hyprland again. I'm quite liking it. It takes awhile to get used to it but it's fun. I cloned a repo for a customized version of it. I don't know how long I'll stick with it but wish me luck!

It was working fine until yesterday, now I'm getting this error. I made sure it's installed and configured correctly, clang is also installed, made sure.

I booted up the computer today and started working on a project (I'm learning C++) just find out the LSP can't find the matching language server for some reason.

I was thinking of switching to VS but I like the way I set up neovim.

plugins.lua

null-ls.lua

mappings.lua

lspconfig.lua

chadrc.lua

I appreciate the help!

I'm using EndeavourOS. I installed btop++ as well as Disk Usage Analyzer. Both give me different disk space information.

I know I don't have 60gb worth of files on my system for sure, DUA confirms that. How can I get btop++ to read the correct disk space usage?

Almost finished setting up my new OS, it's gonna be my main (dual booting with Windows on separate disk). Tokyo Night theme for GTK, xfce terminal, btop and vim. Papirus Dark icons.

I tried switching to Linux on my main PC (cause I'm bored and I have an extra SSD to waste). Like the video shows, I can't seem to get my left vertical monitor to properly configure on this OS. It's completely broken. I can't interact with anything on main monitor once I apply the settings as shown in the video.

The only way it works is if I keep my left monitor in horizontal position.

Google didn't help and apparently it seems to be a common problem. It's on me for choosing a broken distro but I kinda like it otherwise. I'd rather find a fix the screen problem.

I'm using an Nvidia 3070.

Copyright infringement laws vary but even though simply downloading copyrighted material is against policies, it's hard to enforce and most copyright holders don't always find grounds for a lawsuit or it's straight up not worth pursuing. You downloading a movie off a website is the same as a friend of yours sharing the same movie with you on a USB stick.

Actions against unauthorized distribution of copyrighted materials (especially if it's for profit) on the other hand are much more easily enforceable.

I migrated from Reddit and I created a few community (based on niche subs) that aren't yet on Lemmy. What is the proper way to let people know they exist? I don't intend to spam like people do sometimes on Reddit.

I was a happy Netflix user until 2018, before that I haven't really pirated any movies (with very rare exceptions) for almost a decade but I recently started again. I'm was doing my monthly budgeting and realized I was paying for too many subscription services. Netflix, Amazon Prime, Shudder, Disney+, Hulu and Crunchyroll. My family likes to watch different types of content that is distributed on many different platforms.

I was never subscribed to these many services until a couple years ago. I was thinking which service I should cancel when I realized I had the option to cancel all of them this entire time. I'm torrenting again and I started saving a considerate amount.

The only service I'm paying for is Spotify which I think it's fairly priced and offers all the music my family listens too (and it's convenient). All the competitors pretty much offer the same content and that's how streaming services should be.

I remember back in the day using eMule and BitChe (to look for torrents). Now I'm using Deluge as my torrent client and I I get my torrents from 1337x. What sites are you guys using?

I'm on windows 10, use my PC for work and gaming. The thing with windows is that it works right out of the box, all major softwares are developed for windows in mind. When shit stops working is when you start messing with stuff that isn't your typical "start the PC -> download program -> install -> run the program -> shut off" which is what most users do. Updating the os, softwares and GPU drivers are easy tasks.

It's when you start messing with python or softwares that aren't too mainstream and require a bit more effort that things have the potential to break. Even then, the os itself won't break on you unless you really try. I broke windows a few times in 15 years but it's worth mentioning that I was manually and willingly changing registry keys and messing with a lot of other stuff. Even then most of the time I was able to fix it.

With Linux is different. If you just use the OS for basic stuff like browsing the internet and editing documents you should be fine for the most part (if you choose a user friendly and stable distro like Ubuntu or Mint). The moment you try getting to run niche softwares or something that requires you to manually open the command prompt to change things in order to accomodate what you're trying to achieve, that's where it gets tough for most people. That's how Linux works, it's the user's fault though not the machine's.
