Hey folks, I've found that for whatever reason I am unable to taste monk fruit. I've been using Truvia as my sweetener of choice but am curious about allulose since I hear so many people praising it. I'm wary of trying to order it since I'm in Canada and would have to import it. I wouldn't want to have to do all of that only to find that I'm unable to taste any sweetness from allulose as well. Has there been any correlation between folks who are unable to taste monk fruit also being unable to taste allulose? I've tried liquid Stevia and had the same reaction, just getting a cooling sensation but no sweetness. Has this been the case for anyone else? Thanks!

Hey folks,

I updated to the latest version of the Pop!_OS Cosmic along with Firefox and now Youtube videos wont play. It's like the video keeps refreshing itself over and over and I see the "Experiencing Interruptions?" pop up but nothing to click on. The subtitles/captions button also keeps flashing on and off as well. YouTube shorts will play but normal videos wont.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Hey folks,
I'm pretty new to Linux and found out my laptop's Nvidia GPU is too old for the Nvidia version of Cosmic to work properly. I keep getting messages like the following when booting up and shutting down my computer:

nvidia: Process '/sbin/modprobe nvidia-drm' failed with exit >

Is there a way to switch to the non Nvidia version of the operating system, or do I need to reinstall everything from scratch? Since I'm new to Linux, I'm not sure how to backup my files/settings/customization. Is there a simple way to go about doing that in the case of having to completely reinstall PopOS to switch to the non Nvida version? Thanks a bunch!

Hey folks,

Is there a local group or even an online one where people in the area who own snakes would be a part of? I have an order of small frozen rats that I got from Coast to Coast Rodents, but I'm unable to use them due to the rats having been irradiated (I'm feeding a cat). I'm hoping to get in contact with folks who have snakes to see if there's anyone who would want them, as these feeders are perfectly good otherwise. Thanks!
