tech/science swag. 
Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality or funny effortposts and informative or entertaining comments. Please refrain from posting the following:
Boring wingcucked nonsense nobody cares about that belongs in chudrama
Normie shit everyone already knows about
Anything that doesn't gratifify one's intellectual laziness
Bimothy-tier posts
Anything that the jannies don't like
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. This hole is a janny playground, participation implies enthusiastic consent to being janny abused by unstable alcoholic bullies and loser nerds who have nothing better to do than banning you for any reason or no reason whatsoever.

I know it's practically a meme but the Windows bs has been so egregious these past couple of years that a lot of people I know are switching instead of getting 11. You might see it hit critical mass.

Gaming on Linux also seems to have been making some big leaps lately, which definitely helps. Looking into Steam Decks I was somewhat surprised to hear that mostly everything works or can be made to work and generally runs just as well if not better, because there aren't layers of spyware running in the background.
My current machine is old enough to be stuck on 10, which I'm honestly thankful for now, and with the way things are going, the idea of building a Linux PC in time for GTA VI is a lot less insane sounding than it was some five years ago.

If you have Nvidia drivers using Pop!_OS will be more painless.
If you think you can work around Nvidia quirks on your own Linux Mint is like "Win 7 desktop UI" Nirvana.
Fedora is fun if you like the idea of getting new software faster.
People will shit on Ubuntu too but it's a decent choice if you want it to "just work" and have a TON of resources at your fingertips. Anything you'll want to run on Linux will have an option on how to do it on Ubuntu.
I know there's some Debian ppl here but I can't say I'm a huge Debian guy, it always felt like worse Ubuntu to me

Mint has a built in drivers app which handles nvidia drivers for you

Does it ship with them out of the box?
Maybe it's different from when I've debugged it (I never used Nvidia on a personal machine) but I had many friends who would just get zero output until they did

You have to open the app and it will install them, but its as easy as scanning your system for the needed drivers and the app installing them rather then enrolling in the repo like on fedora.

Yeah I think it's just way better that Pop ships them out of the box. Not even getting to the installer and already having to change kernel command line options isn't a great first impression.

This video has good tests showing how bad Btrfs is on desktop, mainly falters with read performance. Other filesystems don't have this issue, it's Btrfs itself that is uniquely terrible.

The justification I saw earlier this year was if you accidentally delete a file Recall can bring it back for you. The whole thing seems like a privacy nightmare to me as an end user and from an enterprise perspective it seems like industrial espionage on a global scale.

Sounds like more of a "justification" instead of a real end user case. Microsoft keeps adding "features" that seem like they were cooked up with the original intent of stealing your data to better sell ads.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Yeah I suspect the real justification is MS needs to train their AI on your data and this also gives them a super convenient way to sell you out to the glowies when they inevitably come knocking.
