You might want to include that information in your original post. You are telling people over and over that their suggestions are too expensive. You’re wasting peoples time.

Your title indicates otherwise so might be worth amending it.

I believe this is a hardware issue. Have you checked the USB options in the BIOS?

I use Debian 12. I use Spotify. And I don’t have this issue.

What I have had is various issues with kernel 6.1.0-21. I’m currently using 6.1.0-18 on my laptop and 6.1.0-15 on my desktop and the issue I had are gone. Because of my experience, I’d suggest trying those kennels.

Just to confirm it also works with the Logitech C930e that the OP has. This is what I use it for.

I ended up going to VMware Workstation as it just works. I could never get KVM to share between Linux and Windows host / guest no matter what I tried. Samba wasn’t an option for me to use.

I’m really glad there seems to now be a potential solution in wsdd2.

That’s a pretty shitty response to somebody trying to help you.

I don’t use Zorin OS, but did you install the Firefox add-on?

I think your confusing me with somebody who cares what your view of your actions is, or what your expectations on the internet is.

All you’ve done is complain about me posting my opinion. Not the actual opinion. But that I just posted it.

If you don’t agree with me, that’s cool. But try to use a few more brain cells to make it a constructive argument that we can discuss rather than the childish bullshit you’ve posted so far.

And?

You didn’t have to reply to my comment.

The solution to this is to create a new index (sorry web page). Job done.

Groups who abuse their position should be ignored. Without traffic their influence disappears.

Can we stop all this philosophising and just get on with enjoying it for what it is? Please?

I’m really tired of hearing everybody’s thoughts on Meta and Threads. And souls. And money. And the future. There are too many captains of the ship who want their 15 minutes of steering time. Opinions ate like assholes, everybody has one.

If you want Meta and Threads in your life, then join it or an instance that is going to federate with it. If you don’t, move to an instance that won’t. Same applies for any community that your part of. Or start your own. That’s the beauty of this.

Can we please let it rest?

That being said, comparing it to mastodon in terms of size at the moment doesn’t make sense.

I wasn’t doing that. I was really talking about where the Twitter exodus went. I’ve said before, my opinion is that those that have left Twitter are gone and those that want to stay are not going anywhere. From what I’ve seen of Bluesky is that much of that exodus hasn’t gone there, or have stayed if they did. Bluesky feels very empty.

So what I was really saying is that they haven’t capitalised on that exodus and I think they are too slow and too late to be able to do that now.

Big question is how viable a small user base is for their company behind it and whether the structure of their system is something a community organisation could keep afloat.

I think they is a really good question. And it’s something that confuses me (but I don’t know much about their financial situation). They are moving slow which isn’t ‘normal’ for a company. We’re used to them moving quickly, gaining market share and a user base and monetising it. So, assuming they are not going this out of the goodness of their hearts, what’s the end game?

It has some nice ideas, particularly for moderation. I like that they’re thinking hard about these things.

I think its moving too slowly and it’s lack of momentum at the time of the Twitter exodus was lost. Its too late for it to become an alternative to the likes of Twitter, Mastodon etc. and I think it will die.

I hope that once it’s gone it will leave a legacy of those good ideas I mentioned above which other platforms will take learnings from.

All my opinion.

Yes, you should look into what you’re getting into

Then we agree.

In my opinion, it’s common sense to research an operating system, how it works and what’s expected, before you move to it. And to also research if there are any issues with your hardware on your new operating system you chose.

The OP complained about many things. You singled out one. Most of them would have been mitigated had they researched what I mentioned above.

Its my opinion, and I stand by what I said before.

Your comment, like the OP’s post fails to recognise the arrogance of jumping from one OS to another and expecting to put no work in and that it will work just as he expects.

dogmatic OS fundamentalism

I recognise OS’s are not the same as it’s the basis for my comment. Stop your bullshit.

When you move to an OS, have the common sense to not expect it to work the same way as the one you came from.

My disagreement doesn’t meaning I’m falling prey to anything. I am free to disagree with anybody I like for any reason I deem important enough for me. Just as you are. It’s called having a different opinion. Look it up.

You’ve moved over to another operating system and you’re expecting it to work like your previous one. That’s stupid.

Windows, Mac, BSD, VMS, Unix etc. all work their own way. Expecting them to work how you want them to is arrogant.

Before you moved you might have read up on the differences and how things work. That would be sensible.

Nobody here has any time for this nonsense. Which is why you are being down voted.

You can’t trust any of the ‘mega-corp’ so these donations will have handcuffs.

One thing not said explicitly is that the Fediverse needs a funding model and I believe it will die without one.

I know people are down voting this because of what you suggested. But I don’t think we should be afraid of taking about money and funding it. The Fediverse is not free to run, or develop, so without money coming in, it’s going to die. We shouldn’t he afraid to talk about any options of funding. Even a conversation like this, where a lot of people are against it, can lead to other ideas that are more palpable.
