I'm tired of the Google Photos app constantly nagging me about backing up my photos in their cloud. Enough! Hey Lemmings, what photo gallery app do you use these days? by Canadian_Cabinet in c/android@lemmy.ca

If you don't care about cloud/backup stuff I recommend Aves. I've been using it for a few years now

Google and Microsoft are getting dirtier. They can’t help it, it’s AI! by Canadian_Cabinet in c/techtakes@awful.systems

By the headline alone, I thought it was about their language getting dirtier, and immediately thought about Tay ai

Maybe it fits bottle rockets or other missile fireworks?

Pixel 8 looks bad too, but this photo makes the camera bump look gigantic and super thick

Wow. If that's what it really is going to look like, then that might be the ugliest smartphone ever

Spanish bases its texting slang around phonetics, instead of the English way of the first letter of the word

Thinking about making the big switch – recommend me a distro! (lemmy.ca)

Hey all, I've been thinking about making the jump from Windows to Linux as my daily-driver and I've been struggling on what distro to use.

On my laptop I've been using Fedora's KDE Spin for a bit but I can't say I really like KDE all that much. I took that Distrochooser test and 9/10 of the suggestions were all Ubuntu-based or Arch-based for some reason lol.

I would prefer a distro that "just works" but I'm not scared of having to troubleshoot or fix things. I guess I'm just looking to see what everyone else uses and what you all recommend. Thanks!

raytracing rule by Canadian_Cabinet in c/196@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Unirronically I agree with this. I still have yet to see a use case of ray tracing that makes it worth the 50% hit in fps.

Meta given 30 days to cease using the name Threads by company that trademarked it 11 years ago by Canadian_Cabinet in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml

My favorite trademark story is how McDonald's lost the rights to the name Big Mac in Ireland due to an existing trademark

So I jumped ship from Windows to Kubuntu last night, and It's mostly been pretty good. However my general performance of the computer has been abysmal. Like it takes upwards of 5 seconds to open anything. All of my hardware seems to be running at max speeds, so I have no idea why it would be so sluggish? It's as if I'm running on 2gb of ram and a cpu at like 1.5ghz. My specs are:

i7-8700k at 4.7mhz max Amd Rx 6750xt 16gb ram at 3200mhz Linux is on an m.2

Any ideas? This is practically unusable for any normal operations, let alone any gaming.

Update: So it seems like my CPU is being throttled to it's min of 800mhz because the temp is just below 100c. Not sure why it's so high because I never got that high even in intensive gaming on Windows

Discord Alternatives? (lemmy.ca)

Hi all, I'm looking for some Discord alternatives. All I really need is the ability to do voice calls and screen shares. It can be either via DM or channels, I only need to it be able to speak with a few friends that'd be open to moving over. I've tried Matrix/Element but there doesn't seem to be a screen share function. There's Teamspeak but I don't think that's FOSS nor does it support screen shares as well. Any other options? Basically just voice calls and screen shares is all I need, I couldn't care about channels or servers or whatever other functionalities Discord has put into their app. Thanks!
