How do you get image upload enabled btw?
I feel the same way sometimes. I’m a centrist as well, a lot of the people on both sidee in this platform do have extreme takes and have the “You must agree with me or I will ban you” attitude. I wish it was a bit more diverse, whenever I come on Lemmy it is completely saturated with leftists post. I have nothing against people on the left, its just the fact that content is so obviously saturated with it.
I think its because we aren’t allowed by default to post images, which I completely understand after what happened back a couple months ago. I’ve been using Lemmy for more then 4 months actively but yet I still don’t have permission to post pictures because of the fact that I’m too lazy to even try to get it enabled. This is a major reason why we aren’t seeing a lot of content.
Also, this tends to be mostly a leftist leaning app, so maybe some people get drawn away.
I understand your frustration, and I’ll try to provide a solution that’s as straightforward as possible. While Linux offers a lot of customization and power, it can sometimes require more technical effort for specific tasks like controller setup.
Checking Compatibility: First, let’s ensure your Xbox controller is compatible with Linux Mint. Most Xbox controllers should work well, but it’s good to verify.
Configuration: Linux Mint typically uses the XInput system for game controllers. Sometimes, extra configuration is needed to get controllers working smoothly.
Reboot: It’s a simple step, but sometimes restarting your computer can help resolve hardware recognition issues.
Updates: Make sure your system and packages are up to date. Open a terminal and run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Install “xboxdrv”: If the built-in driver isn’t working as expected, you can try installing the “xboxdrv” package, which can provide better controller compatibility. Run:
sudo apt install xboxdrv
Calibration: After installing xboxdrv, you can calibrate your controller by running:
sudo xboxdrv --detach-kernel-driver --silent
This command should help with controller recognition.
CMake and Driver Compilation (if needed): If the previous steps don’t resolve the issue and you’re instructed to compile a controller driver using CMake, follow these additional steps:
Cloning the Repository: Use the git
command to clone the controller driver repository from Git. Replace `` with the actual URL of the repository:
git clone https://www.yourwebsite.com
Compiling the Software: Navigate to the cloned repository folder using the terminal. Create a build directory:
mkdir build
cd build
Generate the build files with CMake:
cmake ..
Build the software:
make
Installation: After successfully building the software, you may need to install it. This can usually be done with the following command:
sudo make install
Browser Game Stream: If you’re using a web browser for Xbox game streaming, ensure you’re using a browser that fully supports it. Google Chrome is a good choice for this.
Test: Finally, test your controller in a web-based game streaming service like Xbox Cloud Gaming to see if it works as expected.
If these steps don’t resolve the issue, please provide more details about your system, controller model, and any error messages you encounter during the process. I’ll do my best to assist you further.
I don’t use Telegram but they don’t enable encryption by default? Last time I used Telegram I needed a phone number still, so, I’d say Signal has always been on top.
Oh, okay but do the Lemmy devs really have control over who starts an instance? Isn’t this the whole point of the fediverse or do I have it wrong?
Shut up you fat patty. Read my nuts.
About to watch Revolution OS right now.
Why Ubuntu? Just use Debian.
I use Debian with the Linux-libre kernel and OpenRC, relatively the same experience but without the AUR.

Just use Invidious.
I’ve never had a virus on Linux. How is Windows more secure?
Also, I have the same type of setup, make sure you have the right display driver installed for your graphics card.
Actually, KVM and Ansible are a big part of the industry. KVM as a hypervisor is widely acknowledged in enterprise environments. Meanwhile, Ansible provides great automation for system management tasks. Their combined use for virtualization management and provisioning is not just common but a best practice, backed by a plethora of successful deployments across various industries.
