YSK: 1930s Germany used Jim Crow America as a model, which was a resurgence of Antebellum American racist policies — segregation, imprisonment, enslavement, and homicide. in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

The scale at which it was applied, both geographically and in number of individuals, was and possibly even remains, unprecedented.

Is New Zealand really self-sustaining? Genuine question.

I don't really see the difference in general doctrine between Trump and the others.

Trump is just more in your face, but for the rest he is just another US president.

Gimme one that would rediscuss the role of Israel (or even its existence) and who will actually support Ukraine and then maybe we can talk.

Mint since May. Preferring to work from home these days not to have to deal with Winslop 11 on my work laptop.

Being white must be all he has left. I would love to see Sanchez bringing him in front of the Alhambra: either his brain explodes scanners-style or he will claim to be 110% Nasrid.

Understood. I am happy they adopted this as it is a good feature, for example when asking for a contact at a conference and not wanting the person looking at your screen to see any messages from personal messaging etc.

Yeaaa..nope.

We definitely need a better UI with highest prio for this.

[SOLVED] Unity games downloaded from Steam not working on Linux Mint (lemmy.world)

Since a few weeks my Unity games are not working anymore on Steam (not flatpak) on Linux Mint.

I have tried Stick It to the Stickman, Olija and Dystopika. They all behave the same, with the audio starting playing fine, but still on a black screen. After that, nothing happens and even trying to switch window doesn't work or is extremely slow, requiring a few minutes to have anything happening.

Adding the same games to another launcher (Heroic), makes them work a bit, but eventually they stop at some loading screen and remain there forever.

I am on the latest OS version, I have the latest proprietary drivers from Nvidia, I have tried switching Proton versions and my GOG Unity games all work fine on Heroic.

I don't know if there are any logs I can submit, but I am all ears for any suggestions.

UPDATE: Solved! The problem was with the fractional scaling feature in Cinnamon. Once disabled, everything went back to work perfectly.

Thermaltake HDD Docking Station not recognized (lemmy.world)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/41331598

I am trying to use a Thermaltake Blacx Duet (ST0015) HDD Docking Station with my Linux computers (Linux Mint and Ubuntu, all latest).

I have a SATA disk plugged in one of the bays and when I connect it to a USB port with its cable (everything is brand new) nothing happens.

lsusb returns:

The only message in dmesgrelated to usb is:

[ 474.891877] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage

which I understand means that the usb-storage module is loaded.

Same behavior in Ubuntu.

Does this mean that the hardware is just incompatible or is there anything more I can try?
