You can search duckduckgo for Nvidia mok secure boot mint and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

You can’t disable secure boot if you want to use your Nvidia GPU :( though. [edit2: turns out this is a linux mint thing, not the case in Debian or Fedora]
Edit: fine, there may be workarounds and for other distros everything is awesome, but in mint and possibly Ubuntu and Debian for a laptop 2022 RTX3060 you need to set up your MOK keys in secure mode to be able to install the Nvidia drivers, outside secure mode the GPU is simply locked. I wasn’t even complaining, there is a way to get it working, so that’s fine by me. No need to tell me that I was imagining things.
Because reddit is inundated with bots and trolls. You could see it during the gone private strike, people who can’t think 2 steps ahead heckling the mods for wanting to be able to do their job voluntarily.

I think it is a combination between interest rate hikes from the free money paradigm that propped up startups and the gig economy and the AI hype train driving the capture of public data (think enclosures 3.0) at the expense of strong communities. This somehow reminds me of when post-dot-com bubble companies like google had to become “profitable” so “don’t be evil” went down the drain and they found ways to monetize their users’ data.
Hah, good to know that even on programming@programming.dev there are people who agree that stack overflow moderation is too draconian to ask questions in anymore. It’s a good resource, though, so an LLM will probably be the answer to make the knowledge base more usable without angering its elder gods.
