Calckey.social down? in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml

Yeah 100% no shade on what they are doing. I think it's great. But I do want to be able to access my accounts regularly without major problems. I'll stick it out a little longer, mainly because I already lost all my posts migrating from Masto, and I don't want to lose all my posts again migrating back haha.

Hmmmm. Now I am definitely starting to think it might be better to move back to standard Mastodon. A whole day gone with no ETA feels kinda bad. I know this kind of stuff can happen, but Calckey was already having some weird issues for me anyway, so I am a little scared away by it.

Thanks, was aware of that. I have pretty much stopped playing Val, and if I ever needed to, I could boot back into Windows.

Thanks for the tips. I liked PopOS' vibe, but I might check out Mint seeing it is recommended a bit.

Is PopOS the best for easy gaming? (beehaw.org)
 

Hey folks!

Thinking of switching back to Linux. I was running PopOS about 1.5 years ago and was pretty happy with the gaming aspect of things, but I was playing a lot of VALORANT back then, and I got sick of dual booting. That is less the case now, so I would like to try going back to Linux for the majority of my gaming / streaming setup, and just use Windows for the handful of games like Destiny 2 that won't run on Linux.

I am fairly new to Linux. Don't mind learning some terminal stuff, but I am basically a noob so it does need to be pretty easy to start with. Got a NVIDIA 3080 and AMD CPU if that matters at all.

Recommend me a distro please fellow penguin gamers.

What are some communities that aren't here yet that you hope to see in the future? in c/chat@beehaw.org
[–] hellerphant@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I'd really like to see a photography community pop up. Not necessarily a /fujifilm /leica community, but a general photography place for folks to share their snaps, and get advice about techniques and gear.

Calckey.social down? (beehaw.org)
 

I have been trying to get access to my feed for most of the day, and I am just getting timed out messages and no feeds. Anyone else part of this instance? Can you confirm if it is alive.

I really like calckey but the stability has me thinking about switching back to vanilla Mastodon.

How has ur lemmy experience been so far? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] hellerphant@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

So far I am really enjoying it, mostly because whenever you post something you don't get 130493025084385 people telling you that your are a horrible person and completely wrong and offering you unsolicited advice and ignoring your question in the first place.

It is NICE here. For now at least.

ELI5 How to link Pixelfed and Calckey in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml
how’s your week going, Beehaw in c/chat@beehaw.org

I have no idea, but now I am imagining tiny squirrels in WW2 helmets planning an ambush on your garden, so thanks for that!

ELI5 How to link Pixelfed and Calckey (beehaw.org)
 

Hi there! I am pretty new to the Fediverse, spinning up an account on Mastodon in November of last year, moving to Calckey about 1.5 months ago.

I do photography, which I share on Calckey, but I thought I would also go into Pixelfed. I believe you can follow accounts / link them somehow from both services. However whenever I search for my Pixelfed account on Calckey, it cannot find the user.

Or am I just completely misunderstanding how it works. I created my pixelfed account on Pixelfed.social, and I actually follow a few people from that instance on my Calckey account, which is when I got very confused.

Considering changing to PopOS as a content creator (beehaw.org)
 

Hi folks!

I was using PopOS regularly a few years ago, and it was working great. Good performance, and I was actually noticing a lot of my gaming was running smoother too. I ended up going back to Windows because I could not play VALORANT, Destiny, or HUNT: Showdown on the platform. While I don't play VALORANT anymore, I don't think that the other games have support on Linux either.

The other reason was Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, and DaVinci Resolve. I need to do some video editing, and general live streaming too, and I never really dabbled with that on Linux.

I guess my question is for those who game / content create - has Linux been viable for you? Or do you often find yourself dual booting anyway to get the latest updates, driver support, anti-cheat support, plugins etc.

Shadows Of Doubt is an amazing game but when I play it I always feel like a conspiracy lunatic in c/gaming@beehaw.org

I really want to check this game out, but I just do not have the time right now. It is so up my alley though. So it is on the wishlist.

How does the end-game work? Like, do you solve your mystery and then start a new run? Or what's the actual structure there?
