Navi has a built-in download manager, it is not a standalone download manager. I use Navi as a light web browser for websites in case I never a browser on phone.

I do not compile IceCat, it's available in different repositories.

I am using Graphene abd I disabled Vanadium due to it being Chromium essentially. I use Navi or Download Navi from F-Droid. It does not have as much web functionality as Vanadium, but I don't use phone for websites, I read websites on computer or laptop, but occassionally something might need a browser momentarily so that's what Navi for.

If you want a web browser for privacy, I would suggest use F-Droid and in Settings under Anti-features, turn off every option in there, do a search for browser and see what you think of the options. It's either cheap development or old. A mobile web browser that protects privacy doesn't seem to exist with the capabilitied of a Firefox.

I'm a strong believer that there is no such thing as a privacy respecting browser that is closed source. For that reason, I use IceCat on computer.

A definite much needed improveme because I know the memory on 3090 has some issues with temperatures that was improved on for the 3090 Ti.

I would guess that the 5090 is going run cool given how small it will be, but with GDDR7, I'm not sure if it will bring temperatures back up.

Do you have a comparison of temperatures from before and after?

Everything does. The 1060 is ok as long as you do not play any games from the last 3 years.

Given your specs, I assume the power supply is in the 650 to 750 range, that won't handle the new hardware releases.

For you next system, I would suggest paying extra money for an extra nice case and a larger power supply than what you could use. That way with an expensive case and expensive power supply, in 5 years you'll only need to replace motherboard and processor, you will not have to take apart the whole system or build a whole new one. You simply disconnect all cables to.motherboard, unscrew it, take it, put in new board, CPU, RAM, connect all cables to board, you did a new platform upgrade.

I bought a 1000W power supply, I might max out at drawing 600W. It wasn't a waste of money. My system is 100% stable, PS is not working much with that load, it will still work very well when I do a platform upgrade in 3 years or so so no cable management since I will use the same case and power.

That's a first gen 4 core that has memory latency issues. The board could be too low end on VRM to handle a 5600x upgrade

Can you afford to build a brand new everything PC?

Some people have had to skip one meal a day and not eat, also try applying for a second job or see if can work more hours at current job. Try to re-use things that might normally be thrown away. Eliminate all social spending and leisure spending, mean don't spend money on anything that is not groceries for home, electricity, water, and transportation. Cut back to a single house phone or online service, cancel all cell services.

How serious are you and how much sacrifice are you willing to make to limit spending? It can be done only if you are willing to change how you're living, and view more things as luxeries, not mandatory for living life.

Adjust lifestyle to cut out expenses like never eat out, get rid of cell service and change to online phone service, downsize things at home, try to take on extra work, learn a new skill you monetize or make life better, see about changing living arrangements or if there is anywhere cheaper to move, even if it means smaller. Get rid of paid streaming services.

The 4090 is the first solid 4K everything video card, but the 4K standard is coming, including video cards that start at 16GB and go up from there. 4K movies. More game engines will develop textures in 4K. You not being interested is not the same as the market shifting that way. 4K OLED is not the expensive premium they used to be for such a gorgous picture.

If somone wants high framerate, 1440 will always be there. I believe all future graphics cards technologies will be developed with the intention of targeting the hardware demands of 4K 120fps. Cards for 1440p 165hz are already available.

Future consoles will do 4K, people who only watch TV or stream to TV, all 4K, only PC muiltiplayer will care about high framerates but not for console, so 1440 will slways be available for lower hardware systems, similiar to 1080p is currently.

I plan to buy maybe the 2nd highest GPU in 2 years and then the year after buy a 4K screen, possibly OLED, as those prices continue dropping year after year. I never play multiplayer so I will be doing well with 4K 120fps.

How much are you enjoying the giant uplift in performance?

 

Thousands of port workers, including scores of Hell Angels, their associates, gangsters, and other criminals across British Columbia, are set to resume strike activity after failing to ratify a tentative deal that was reached through federal mediation. https://tnc.news/2023/07/19/bonokoski-hells-angels-control-of-bc-ports/

Friendship kiss (latte.isnot.coffee)
 

For a city that is all about showing public acceptance of gays and trans, why do the men seem so uptight as a matter of respect and greeting, for a man to kiss another man's face, on the cheek of course?

Explain how people are all for 2 men frnech kissing, but a friendship kiss is too sexual, there seems to be a contradiction.

Are men not comfortable showing a bond with other men but let's love the gays? I grew up with a kiss on the forehead or cheek is strictly general affection to show a sentimental care for the person.

 

An interesting comparison and discussion https://yewtu.be/watch?v=f2e4FNMzyto

 

I try doing a search for !pcgaming[@lemmy.ca but says not found. The website for https://lemmy.ca/c/pcgaming is up and running but I can't find the community. Is there something I'm overlooking or not considering?

I am a member of 2 other lemmy.ca communities.

 

How did the ideology of libre/free software get so politicized?

I've noticed advocates for exclusively for libre software and actively discourage simple open source software for not going far enough, also want censorship of not allowing any proprietary software to be mentioned, and don't allow any critiques of the software they use because it's libre software so there are no faults or bad designs.

I thoroughly enjoy the code purity of what is labelled as libre software, for license I only like the ISC license for freedom. My attitude is if someone changes my code and doesn't give back, it does not harm me or injury me in any way.

I also believe libre software can be used for the surveillance of other people, libre software does not be default mean privacy. How network software is configured in systems that other people don't control, it doesn't matter if it's open source when people have no knowledge of other networks configuration.

On the principal of freedom, I do support the right to develop proprietary software. The fact that it exists does not harm anyone who chooses not to use proprietary software.

It seems the die hard libre software crowd, not open source people but the ones who want to live in an only GPLv3+ world can start to live in ther own world, their own bubble, and become disconnected losing perspective that which software other people use is not something that should affect your day in any way. Unless someone is both a network engineer and does infosec or something similiar, they're not in a position to understand fully appreciate how network protocols matter more than a license and code availability.
