Instagram takes down a Vancouver strip club's account due to a sign saying:

CANT HANDLE A POOL BUT WANTS OUR LAKE?

Previously they were suspended from X/twitter for a sign saying:

FOREVER NEIGHBOURS NEVER NEIGHBORS

Some large Social Media companies are quick to censor benign funny messages.

Linux Mint being the top distro recommended by searching the internet really does not help the broader "year of the Linux desktop" goal. Like I think we are there for the right distro if you skip disk encryption and opt for home drive encryption, but that itself is not easy info to come by.

For example:

    I mean on the PC i built in December, I learned my lesson over the 5+ years of distro hopping and I've been the least disappointed with fedora KDE.

    Unfortunately I had my dual boot Linux setup from years ago on this laptop and just didn't want to nuke it till now (slow internet speeds that needed 3 reboots, no drag n drop, this gaming throttling issue, hard drive filesystem corruption). And now windows 11 is working as desired so I'm just going to single boot till I need Linux desktop on an old gaming laptop.

    Key word deleted. I got down voted for not providing specs and distro.

    And yeah I've been trying to abandon Reddit but I guess that makes me a troll. I posted a second question regarding my hard drive on reddit because the first post got too much Linux defenders. I'll probably post the question here too, to see which community is more helpful.

    Last time I tried to play Stray on Linux Mint on my laptop while connected to 4k TV, I ran into severe degradation unrelated to thermal throttling. I had to tweak the resolution down a lot and even the graphics. I recently went back to using Windows on the laptop because of an unrelated network speed unreliability problem on Mint, and when I tried Stray, there were no issues. Before this, I had even installed Stray on my gaming PC to stream from the laptop because of how laggy the performance was.

    Specs

    RTX 3080-Ti Laptop AMD Ryzen 9 6900 HX Linux Mint latest 16GB RAM

    EDIT:

    Okay so I suspected it was thermal throttling, even though I have a cooling fan. Turns out not using a cooling fan is better than using a cooling fan at the lowest setting. At the highest setting, the cooling fan is too loud but the game performs still slightly worse than on Windows.

    Thanks to Doug Ford's Bill 5, it will not be subject to a provincial environmental assessment.

    Making it easier to build in Canada is a good thing regardless of the party in power at the federal or provincial level.
