Id just grow chilis and make hot sauce. Probably switch to arch and find an open source project to contribute to for scratching the tech itch.

I did, it is a little easier for me to use than libre.

I also tried Ubuntu 10 years ago and threw it away in anger. Have been using mint for over a year now and game on it regularly. All I really needed to know was: use proton and add ‘gamemoderun %command%’ into the launch option of the game.

Except for mods on Nier. That was a hassle.

Its actually more annoying on the work computer. Ms office windows apps are kind of great compared to libreoffice, especially with the collaboration options. But Linux is nicer to do dev work on so ¯\(ツ)/¯

He certainly running the country into the ground like one of his businesses

I got an iPad, think it was second generation. That thing was fucking useless. Couldn’t do anything without a subscription service. Games sucked. Couldn’t sideload. Don’t know what I was thinking.

A decade later I got a galaxy tablet and its one of the most useful things I’ve ever bought. Writing tablet in meetings. Second screen while gaming. Portable screen while training/cooking. OLED is perfect for reading comics.

Sorry I think I got distracted and missed the spirit of the question.

Tell us how you really feel

Me too, but I still prefer this place to reddit. I have the same exact gripe: those that must be the most right. I’ve just found a lot more of them on reddit than lemmy. I have lost count of the amount of times I start to write something on reddit, then imagine how someone somewhere, from some angle, can decide to be offended if they want to, then just delete the comment. It definitely happens on lemmy too, it’s just in my experience it has happened less here, so I have been more willing to type out comments here. It really sucks that this has not been your experience.

Well shit. Guess I really have to ditch Mozilla. They make a great product and had a great mission - also generated a heap of revenue. But I guess why settle for good money when you could sell out your principles (and our data) in the pursuit of More Money🤦‍♂️

I guess that skype-zoom clip was prophecy

Thanks Mr Trump - this really helps us sell our non-US technology to the Europeans. Keep on making stuff great again 🤘

Did this once on a router in a datacenter that was a flight away. Have remembered to set the reboot in future command since. As I typed the fatal command I remember part of my brain screaming not to hit enter as my finger approached the keyboard. 🤦‍♂️

Is mysql in your repolist? The second tutorial adds it; just wanted to check that it worked.

The Mint team removed snap intentionally and explain their reasons here: https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3906

I would think it’s a good thing that there are a lot of greybeards in FOSS? If the claim is true, then it should mean that once you get into FOSS you tend to stay there.

The article seems to be referring to FOSS code contribution more than user adoption, but the same idea holds. The more I learn about my distro and its packages, the less scared I get about something going wrong that I can’t fix and the less likely it is I will go back into an OS riddled with ads and spyware.

For code contribution I only ever managed to do a PR for a Kodi plugin, and even then it was only because this amazing guy from their team walked me through the whole thing step by step. It was quite intimidating figuring out how to do that stuff for the first time.

I won tickets from the radio to see the premiere of Seven when I was 12. Glad I saw such a high quality high impact thriller so early. Watching Pitts character struggle with his decision at the end and trying to work out if his choice was right. Or consider the possibility there was no such a thing as a right choice. Amazing experience.

That being said, I wouldn’t recommend that 12 year olds go see Seven.

A genuine username checks out moment - excellent

I think 90% of my posts are deleted before sending because I just know that someone somewhere will find a way to be mad about it

But OK - here is a post that I would usually have deleted :)

Apparently the line on a roundabout is where the rear axle of the car is supposed to stop.
