  • I also had screen tearing issues immediately on startup into the mint installer. Had to run the installer in safe mode to get mint going. Once mint was fully installed and rebooted to my desktop for the first time, had the same screen issues as I did with the installer not in safe mode. So mint only worked during install and only in safe mode.

    Maybe our issues are similar (I’m Nvidia 1080 card), but I was never able to fix mine.





  • How’s that strategy working out for you? For us?

    Unfortunately “don’t give them money” doesn’t work. Bc commerce is global due to internet. There will always be uninformed buyers in every product space. And always buyers who don’t care.

    My solution, posts like this. We should be informing others of these practices and discussing ways to bypass, repair, or disable blocks and unintended behavior on the products and services we purchase.





  • About a month ago i asked gpt to draw ascii art of a butterfly. This was before the google poem story broke. The response was a simple

    But i was imagining ascii art in glorious bbs days of the 90s. So, i asked it to draw a more complex butterfly.

    The second attempt gpt drew the top half of a complex butterfly perfectly as i imagined. But as it was drawing the torso, it just kept drawing, and drawing. Like a minute straight it was drawing torso. The longest torso ever… with no end in sight.

    I felt a little funny letting it go on like that, so i pressed the stop button as it seemed irresponsible to just let it keep going.

    I wonder what information that butterfly might’ve ended on if i let it continue…




  • Ooof. Jumping in to say im currently on an s9 that is dying and was thinking of going to the 23. Didnt even consider the notification light til seeing your post and some comments here.

    There is an app (not mine) called aodnotify that only turns on the always on display under certain circumstances. Customizable kinda like different light colors were. This might help? I use it on my s9 but have no clue if its updated or compatible with newer phones.
