We're right there with y'all.

That would be equally annoying. Probably a better signal to noise ratio on IRC though; Discord descends into memes almost instantly.

Seriously. It's beyond painful when some open source project only uses Discord for communication. You have to hope that you post your question at a time when the right people are online, and that there's not a more interesting conversation going on, otherwise it just gets lost. Index that whole dataset.

I don't know why you're being down voted; here's an upvote for being sensible.

Thanks, forgot that one!

Just FYI something "reeks" if it smells bad; "wreak" is pretty much only used with "havoc" and means to cause (generally harm). English is weird.

I've seen other reports of this issue for nVidia cards; people are reporting that updating drivers helps, but it sounds like you've done that. If you're going as far as reinstalling the OS anyway, you might try out a rolling release distro; I've been enjoying Garuda quite a bit, and I've heard good things about Nobara and Endeavour.

This looks like useful stuff; thanks for sharing. I'm not on Windows myself any more, but this looks like info with passing on to those in my life who are.

Why would this be a bad thing? I assume that's the connotation for posting it here

Because people who are struggling financially already shouldn't have money taken out of their paychecks by the predatory student loan racket.

I've had a similar thought, though not quite to hyperinflation levels where people are burning piles of $1,000 bills to keep warm or anything. But say he reduced the value of a dollar a hundredfold: suddenly people saving for retirement with a million out two dollars would have the equivalent of ten or twenty thousand. Meanwhile, Elon would still have the equivalent of a couple billion dollars. Everyone would be poor except the ultra rich. That would enable big business to compete with China in terms of wages paid, which is the only real way to bring manufacturing back to the US. Seen that way, making America great again is about making it a manufacturing base again by turning the whole country into sweatshop laborers.
