Replace your bowden tubes occasionally.
  • on a bowden system yes, but just ever so slightly. not any more than you could fix with retraction and other settings, and prolly only nylon and other flexible ones you should be doing in a direct dirve anyway would be affected.

  • and even if it were worn down that much it wouldn't cause any problem as the entire tube is made of the same slippery stuff, it's not a coating.

    Researcher finds a way to invisibly reverse Windows updates
  • cinnamon, lxde, kde, and mate are all desktop environments that mimic the basics of windows ui like the taskbar, start menu, and windows with minimize, maximize, and exit buttons at the top. and all can be installed/selected during install on pretty much every popular distro. there's prolly some others i've forgotten but those are all solid choices.

    edit: whoops had mint listed but that's not a de that's a distro

    ACAB includes Kamala Harris
  • enforcing a 'don't talk about voting ever, only encourage not voting' anarchist community is sus af. not voting isn't gonna make the govt disappear. not voting is just laying down and saying 'do with me what you will'. not voting, especially from anarchists, inevitably gives more weight to explicitly fascist votes. i'd like a world without goverment as well, but we aren't gonna get there not voting nor by banning people from anarchist spaces who advocate for slowing the rise of more violent fascism. material conditions, bud.

    Various distros across different families freezing when doing package manager updates
  • sounds like maaaaybe too little ram and no swap? what is your ram size and do you have any swap or zram enabled? i kinda doubt it because multiple distros should have a swap space or zram on by default on a fresh install but maybe not or you explicitly chose not to and it's running out of memory.

    Bitcoin is Stupid and Does Not Deserve an Emoji (blog post)
  • fighting for bitcoin to get an emoji is stupid, but fighting against it might be even stupider. surely there are more important things to spend your time and energy on. it's a fucking emoji. who cares?

    KDE menu doesnt work...
  • sometimes a hangup in a widget or other taskbar or desktop customization can freeze up the menu. right click on the taskbar, enter edit mode, and resize the taskbar height one up and back down to where it was. if that doesn't fix it maybe remove any widgets or other customizations.

    PC Freezes if I don't have a game running
  • i mean, it depends on the cpu and your workload. i have a 1st gen ryzen 1500 and amd rx580 gpu, so yeah, my cpu is the bottleneck in this build. i do have it slightly oc'd and it def helps a bit keep it smoother gameplay especially when travelling fast in game and new areas need to load up. the pop-in and small frame dips are a bit more noticeable on stock clock speed. did i really need to oc it? nah. but i like to squeeze every last bit of capability out of my hardware just for the fun of it, too.

    PC Freezes if I don't have a game running
  • watchdog error, sleep and lockscreen freezing, and stable under some load tells me either the cpu isn't getting enough voltage if it's manually oc'd, or there's some bios or os powersaving thing malfunctioning.

    reset bios settings, especially if you've done any overclocking. turn off any core boost or other variable core clock powersaving amd/intel specific 'features'; these are almost always unstable in my experience.

    if that doesn't work, double check all power cables are properly seated in both mobo/component side and psu side if it's modular. make sure ram is seated properly. if you're on windows make sure you're on high performance mode. i can't think of much else to check without more info. good luck!

    Chemists of Lemmy, how accurate is this likability table?
  • lead's bad for you, sure, but when some of the other metals on this scale's red might literally explode your tongue/face/head depending on sample size and saliva accumulation, i'd say yellow fits it pretty well.
