  • China, consistantly expanding it’s influence into sovereign states and claiming those states we’re never soverign. “They’re not imperialist, they’re just leftist!” He’s deserving of a “fell for it again” award, but the MAGA crowd has forced us into a supply shortage.

    Brother, put down the kool-aid for a second. I know America fucking sucks, but the answer is not ANOTHER Imperialist nation with a fascist dictator for a leader, whose economy is built entirely on slave labour of marginalized racial groups.

    I feel like Cowbee’s opinions only work if you strictly refuse to view reality. It’s very “the sky is purple because alien’s wear silly hats.” Lots of confident, fancy pandering while completely disregarding simply reality.


  • Tangential, but what’s the go-to mobile app for Piefed? I’ve long made an account, but I just log into Lemmy still because when I am at my PC, I have better things to do than laugh at tankies, and on mobile, there’s a button on my device that brings me to Lemmy. I’m not sure what shiny new button to replace it with, and realistically the sooner I can stop using tools created by fascists in socialist clothing, the better.

    I’m currently using Jerboa for Lemmy, though I am not married to any of its features.



  • Canada has in fact deeply fucked up with it’s indigenous population, though the specifics of just how deeply the graves left by the residential schools go is something that seems to shift every time I dig into it. There’s no debate that the Canadian state killed a lot of indigenous people’s though.

    However, that doesn’t have anything to do with correctly identifying the Russian disminformation machine. Even in some kind of “whataboutism” argument, Canada has legally taken blame for those deaths and created the entire Truth and Reconciliation movement to start trying to set things right. Comparing Canada saying aloud “we have fucked up and we want to fix it” to any state-run media in Russia is just laughable, at best.








  • Underclocking your CPU like crazy because you don’t want to replace the thermal paste is an insane thing to do, and probably still won’t help, as the thermal paste being gone means there’s nowhere for the heat to go. It’ll just build and build until you hit a spike; you’ll just reach that spike slower. You’re rapidly sacrificing your parts by not just opening it up, cleaning out the dust and replacing the thermal paste, even using some kind of heat-reduction work around.

    85 degrees is high but normal for a component that is pushing it, so software solutions, like underclocking, are viable. 100 degrees is “most computers will turn off to protect the components” territory, suggesting something has gone wrong with your cooling solutions and it really needs to be opened up.

    But, that’s not the question you asked, just a word of warning I felt compelled to add. Depending on the processor and motherboard, there are BIOS solutions and in-OS solutions. Check your mobo for settings in advanced. If they’re there, they’re there. If you’re using an old Ryzen, (I believe the 1000 series is 8 years old now?) there’s an app called AMD Ryzen Master that lets you tweak CPU speeds and voltages. Realistically Google “[CPU name] underclock” and you’ll find a guide that links you to software, if it is available for your processor. I’ve never heard of a catch-all third party software solution for CPU clocking, the way Afterburner does that for GPU.
