    J’ai quelques idées…

    Comme il est indiqué sur les infos du site, d’après eux ils se sont séparés du figaro, et bien sûr comme l’URL du site est legorafi = lefigaro.

    Ce serait donc un site exagéré parodique du figaro ?

    Mais je ne sais même pas pourquoi le site existe encore… Je suppose il y a toujours des gens pour perdre leur temps à lire des articles inutiles…

    (si l’objectif est de faire quelque chose de marrant, ca ne me fait pas rire des gens qui se font tirer dessus ou qq qui se lamente et fracasse la tête contre un mur…)

    C’est quoi cet article de bouse. Elle est où leur source ? C’est la rédaction leur source ?

    Je ne peux rien trouver comme source à cet article.

    Donc sans source ou preuve que cet article est factuel, cet article est faux et une invention du journal qui est sûrement m*ique dans ce cas.

    Si c’est du sarcasme ou je ne sais quoi, c’est totalement raté et nul. Ça paraît trop gros pour être vrai, ce qui pe s’en rapprocher, mais ce n’est pas du tout une bonne chose de propager de telles fausses infos.

    Vu les autres articles de la rédaction, le journal est de la bouse.








  • I find Lemmy works pretty well for a decentralised network.

    It is possible to see what everyone has been subscribed to when sorting by all, and so subscribe myself to it to get it in my subscription feed.

    There are nice apps like Liftoff which can manage multiple accounts at the same time, and even view instances all feed without an account on them.

    Mastodon on the other hand is a bit lackluster in comparison I’d say. The subscription model is pretty had to start using as I need to either find # or people to subscribe to, and even subscribing to them. And even after doing that the posts aren’t that interesting or feel empty due to no comments/likes/boost.

    Maybe I subscribed to the wrong #, but I find Lemmy much more enticing than mastodon.



  • You can replicate the nobara distro by installing some software and switching some things, but there are some hurdles.

    For example installing the codecs to be able to play proprietary or manage proprietary codecs for softwares which rely on the system to do so is a bit of a mess currently (vlc can read without the system) :

    The tutorial on how to do so is, well outdated. It works until it doesn’t because it’s missing a command to switch from the fedora open source only ffmpeg to the one containing the proprietary software one.

    After a bit of research I got to it, but it was a bit of a head scratching moment.

    For the rest, well there are some modifications to the kernel too it seems, but the performance boost is still low.

    For the rest well it’s software that can be easily installed (steam, wine and other related, …).

    Tho I made the mistake to use an outdated tutorial on how to install nvidia drivers for fedora. In fact it’s very easy. I just had to install it from the store, the nvidia package… Tho it runs in hybrid mode by default, I think I installed an extension on gnome to easilly switch between these modes.


  • Ubuntu is a bit of a between good and meh distro nowadays : It is well maintained and up to date enough, with the gnome desktop. So good enough.

    However they push their own “proprietary” (at least for the servers), packaging format : snap. Currently it’s OK, but also a security nightmare.

    Anyone can put software on there, it is not checked for malware, and there is very little official support from devs, so often it’s community packages, which obviously aren’t to be always trusted.

    There are a bit similar issues with flatpak. But at least it’s open source. Tho not sure on how the official flatpak repo is checked for malware, if it even is.

    For native packages (apt-get for Ubuntu as example) (not in their snap or flatpak containers), it is often maintained by trusted people in the community or companies. So the software is checked and more trustworthy.

    Linux mint and pop os are based on Ubuntu, and so also use apt. But they don’t force snap packages if you like to stay on something you experimented with.

    Other distros like fedora (or nobara) can use other packaging formats. Dnf for them. It works about the same, however as they don’t use the same packaging, they are not directly compatible with .deb files (often proposed by companies which software wasn’t put in a repo).

    However, the flatpak community is also often here to get all these things working smoother. So for example discord isn’t available natively on fedora, but it is available from in flatpak.


  • For less work and nice interface on a laptop, I can suggest Pop OS. Tho you would still need to install software and tools.

    It is using gnome, but you can install extensions to change how the desktop appears.

    Gnome is pretty good for laptops and supports gestures pretty well.

    Pop os has already installed extensions allowing switching for optimus and they have an ISO with nvidia drivers already installed.

    How optimus switching works on Linux is : There are 3 modes :

    • integrated (nvidia disabled)
    • hybrid (intel used, Nvidia available at very low power constantly. Nvidia gpus cannot be disabled in this mode. It uses more power than integrated becauset the nvidia gpu is running at low power)
    • dedicated (nvidia gpu, highest power consumption)

    In hybrid mode, When you want to use the nvidia gpu in games or something which cannot auto detect the gpus in it’s configuration, you need to launch it with an argument to get it to run on the nvidia gpu.

    For games, i suggest to use proton-ge on steam, by enabling the compatibility in the settings. Proton-ge has enhancements compared to default proton with automatic launch of gamemode (additional software to be installed), already integrated fsr 1… It is also available for other software (heroic launcher (gui for legendary)/legendary (epic games & gog) with Wine-GE, and specific versions for Lutris…

    For garuda Linux, when i tried it, it was a trash experience. I wasn’t even able to install wine because it wanted to remove the audio driver (pipewire if I remember), and obviously not tested by the devs. Wine was installing perfectly fine on other distros.

    And as said in another comment, no idea for nobara, I couldn’t boot into it.

    As other comments suggested too, Linux mint is a good one too. The switch between gpu config isn’t made through the power menu, but through the nvidia panel for that distro.

    However I don’t like it very much for dual booting, because even if I make another efi partition, it still writes to the windows partition. So when I delete the linux mint partitions, I still have a Linux mint entry lingering in the bios. I uses cinnamon as a desktop. It works great too. Tho not sure how well it got updated to gestures compared to gnome.


  • Well Wayland support and performance may vary. For Wayland to work well on nvidia the most recent software is needed.

    Wayland support would get better with a bit more time. Wine has pushed updates in the latest versions for better Wayland support.

    For gaming, X11 would work maybe a bit better for performance, however it could also have evolved fast and performance of Xwayland be better rn.

    I wouldn’t say you need to avoid Wayland, but rather test how it works. On distros shipping Wayland and X11, you can often switch between them at the login screen.

    For nobara, well it would be interesting and an “easy” start to fedora. Tho I tried to install it, and I never got to boot into it, while I installed fedora without any issues. Not sure if I made a mistake or an incompatibility with my laptop.

    The issue with fedora, is that software without gui aren’t available in the gnome store. And only installable though command line with dnf or flatpak. Also the fedora forum help online is a bit of a desert, or soo old that it doesn’t apply anymore. Tho it could have evolved since I tried it. However the fedora support page is pretty good, tho it is missing some things on first install for some things. However Nobara would have already got all those issues dealt with.

    If you have no experience with Linux, I’ll suggest to first discover with a distro, then when you feel a bit more comfortable to try other compositors. Using non “common” compositors may create bugs which may not be very much discussed online. So it can be a bit discouraging for a new user.

    Well it depends.

    Just from the subject: are mobile photos real

    (to simplify this and avoid a definitive no, well not talk about photos beeing real or not in numeric form).

    Photography is a complicated topic on mobile phones, with plenty of algorithms enhancing what a tiny sensor can deliver.

    • But let’s assume there is a phone and algorithm, which manages to represent a photograph as close as possible to what I see.

    Are my photos real because they represent what I see at one precise point in time? Because it is what I remember something was?

    Or are they not real because of the algorithms interpreting the results to make it look like I see it?

    • Now let’s assume I have another phone, like a Samsung or whatever. Such phone may take a picture, but that picture is modified, there is maybe more saturation for the sky and grass, while combining multiple pictures to do HDR… And plenty of other things.

    Now are these photos real?

    They change what I see, but would that make them less real for you/me? How do you see your pictures?

    about the article : When ai/photography manipulation is brought in the question, in order to change the first result :

    • It could slightly change colors, then I guess we could maybe comme back to above, is this interpretation real or not? More or less real?

    • It could be a modification of what and how elements appear in that picture. Here, for me, there isn’t any question. The reality of the pictures are completely broken as they do not represent anymore what I could see.



  • D’après ce que je comprends, sa femme n’écoute que les actualités négatives qui arrivent, vu que c’est les plus sensation.

    N’écouter que ces actualites est extremely mauvais pour le moral. Un mélange entre les actualités générales et positives est très bon pour rester dans l’équilibre.

    Que des actualites positives pourrais mettre qq dans une désillusion. Et que des actualites négatives peut écraser le moral.

    Perso j’ai découvert Airzen https://www.airzen.fr/ comme actualites positives. Mais il y aurais sûrement d’autres sources, même vidéo.


  • Je ne saurais quoi te proposer précisément, mais n’écouter que des mauvaises nouvelles as un très fort impact négatif sur le moral.

    Écouter des nouvelles positives entre temps est très important, et je ne conseille pas de suivre que les chaînes de nouvelles à sensation et négatives.

    Perso j’écoute surtout la radio dans la voiture et regarde les articles écrits pour l’actualité avec Google discover. Je ne suis pas vraiment les chaînes vidéo d’activités.

    Et un jour je suis tombé sur cette radio : AirZen https://www.airzen.fr/. Une radio 100% positive. Bien qu’elle ne soit pas “complète” pour connaître tout ce qu’il se passe, ça permet d’avoir un super boost au moral.

    Perso, j’ai écouté un peu à un moment, mais je suis resté sur la radio de ma voiture sur France Info, parce que plus simple et suffisant (je n’écoute pas en dehors des trajets). Mais par contre, lorsque j’ai écouté, je pense que c’était plutôt bon.

    Pour la radio, j’utilise aussi l’application TuneIn. La station AirZen est dessus.


  • Well the battery in my phone lasted longer than my laptop. The difference : one stayed a long time at 100% the other one is constantly pliged and unplugged with 100%-20%-80%…, but also battery tech and management would be different (maybe).

    Letting the battery at 100% stresses it and does degrade it with time, charging and discharging also degrades it. But it would be better for the battery health to keep it in the 80-20%.

    However if it is easier to let the device plugged in, maybe check if it can run without a battery, and if not maybe it can be changed? Tho not sure if you can find replacement in some years.

    Tho maybe the battery station could also be designed to stay at high charge? It isn’t the easiest thing to know how it works and how it is designed.
