  • Thanks for your reply. Here are my specs and I’ve added them to the post:

    • Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. X570S GAMING X
    • RAM: 32 GiB
    • CPU: AMD® Ryzen 9 5900x 12-core processor × 24
    • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

    I’m not sure what dkms is but I just Googled it and it looks like it’s related to AMD, is that right? I have an NVIDIA GPU so it might not be relevant.

    I ran sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade like you suggested and then tried updating some components while doing something in my browser. It seems promising so far, thanks! I’ll need to do more updates to know for sure though













  • Years ago, I bought headphones that were ¼ of the price of the big name Bose and Sony’s and provided at least ¾ the experience. When I wore them so much they eventually broke years later, I purchased some more from their website. Turns out they have been taking orders and haven’t been delivering products. Their Facebook page still posts ads and the comments are people talking about how it was a scam. That’s $170 dollars I won’t get back. It’s weird because I really liked their product and had no reason to think they would suddenly stop delivering. Very strange.

    Brand is Cowin, by the way.



  • Yeah it’s tricky. Using “female” as a noun in a non-biological context is often used by incels and misogynists in order to dehumanise women. Whereas there isn’t the same trend of certain groups using “male” to dehumanise men, or at least I’ve never heard of it happening in real life.

    In a vacuum, both would be the same, but because there is a much larger trend of using “female” to dehumanise women than using “male” to dehumanise men, it’s not a true double-standard.

    And as long as you’re not being a dick, especially if English isn’t your native language, then people will know what you mean. But if you are consciously trying to make an effort, then don’t use “female” and “male” as nouns to refer to someone’s gender.
