A live action Lorax movie, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp as the onceler would be my dream movie

Using this low of a contrast (dark red on dark background) is criminal. Maybe my eyes are just that bad but good lord those notes are hard to read

In my case it's not a sense of pride. I can't use anything other than Vim because I keep accidentally putting random incantations into my word documents.

"There once was a dduuuZQ:q!"

Skibidi is mostly a gen alpha thing, not so much gen z

If you already know what you want but want to save time writing it

IME, going to ChatGPT for code usually meant losing time, cause I'd go back and forth trying to get a usable snippet and it would just keep refactoring the same slop that didn't work in its first attempt

I think this is an ESH situation. Fandom sucks for pushing their poison, Google sucks for drinking it

Shame meta won't go with it

I think you misread both the question and how they used ChatGPT Mr Bash Wizard

Assuming you don't need a windows only application for your workflow (admittedly this isn't very common), it's really just a matter of getting used to it. There's plenty of easy to use distros out there, such as Linux "I'm not buying my grandma a new computer" Mint.

As an american, the amount of people who refuse to accept that American Propaganda exists is staggering. I had an immediate reaction to seeing "China is good though" and I have no way of knowing if it's justified because I've been my told my entire life that China is an evil shithole by American propaganda.

To take it a step further and say "America doesn't have your best interest at heart" is deeply unsettling to the vast majority of Americans who blindly hand away their freedoms in the name of Freedom. Wait until people find out that our country is just like all the ones we're taught to hate

Is there a video of this somewhere? It sounds amusing

Yeah, this whole list is kind of nuts. Burritos already get mass produced in factories. Those prepackaged ones at the grocery store? Some brands have people hand making them but quite a few are machine made and rolled. It's not a very big stretch to put that kind of machinery into a restaurant, and 2 techs is about the same price as 4 $20/hr works by their estimate

Because doing nothing about it is any better? Lol

GPU doesn't work after being reconfigured

On GNOME extensions crash

"I made modifications to my system and broke it"

Syncing files between devices is always a struggle

Syncthing?

Never know what will break when updating

Read your updates before you do them?

Bluetooth and scaling are not issues I've ever run in to, but I can't say they're not common.

Basically, this whole post reads as "I messed with things that I didn't properly understand and I'm blaming my computer for doing what I told it instead of what I wanted"

Woke up with my stomach in knots, figured I ate something bad the previous day. Texted my work group chat and let them know that I would be useless if I showed up, and explained that I think I ate something bad for dinner. They said something along the lines of "no worries, but you're still gonna have to come in to at least grab the paperwork for staying home for a day." Annoyed, I got a ride to work and went to go do the formalities and explained that my boss had already given me the go ahead to stay home, I just needed the paperwork. First guy I talked to had no issue just writing it up and sending me on my way, but when he stepped away for a second I got asked some questions by one of his coworkers who told me "we have to give you a check up first to determine if you actually have to stay home." She checked my stomach for pain and listened to it make some noises, then decided I was just constipated and gave me something to drink to help. First guy still wrote the paperwork up for me, and I got to go home, stomach in even worse situation and I spent nearly 2 hours on the toilet before I felt safe enough to go lay down and slept the rest of the day away.

(And yes I'm well aware that it's atypical to get a checkup by your workplace, this was a weird and terrible place to work. Glad I got outta there.)

I've never been to Italy, but my cousin grew up there for part of their childhood. They said "Italians invented pizza, America made it good"

This is a much more serious version of my answer, which was going to be

"That's one of the places where we decided oil was more precious than human life; I don't really think of Iraq because the only discourse about it in my country is blatant xenophobia and I'm still working on finding ways around the propaganda"

You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion.

We're just hitting the "random Bible verse" button right? Because speaking out against injustice is something that one can control. I can't stop the injustice, but I can sure as hell make sure everyone knows that I think it's shitty, and I can hope they will eventually stop being shitty.

Honestly, it seems like you probably shouldn't be wasting your time with this woman.

Man you were giving great advice until you suddenly decided that people in the porn industry are incapable of love and only use sex as a weapon. Sex workers are human beings.

Windows only software

I'm sure by now you know about the troves of compatibility layers that exist in order to make this possible; depending on the software.

Get a minimize and maximize button

This is more of a DE issue than Linux issue, I'm assuming you went with the default Gnome but you might like KDE or Cinnamon for a more windows like experience. I personally loved both of those DEs until I made the mistake of getting comfortable with a window manager

You're injecting malice into my words. The point was "if you have the mental space for it, you should spend your time learning because it helps reduce stress by being both cathartic and relieving issues in your life"

TIL there's a name for this. This has been one of my bits for years

I would agree, except for the continue studying. Everyone has at least 20 minutes of downtime that they could put towards learning a new concept every day

Not quite "just works" but I'd be willing to bet that your computer defaulted to the iGPU instead of your dGPU because you didn't specify as such in your launch options

I would agree if they weren't such a prolific backbone for the tech industry. They're not just gonna vanish when people stop using their apps because businesses will still pump cash into them

Anecdotally, the majority of people I've seen who self host are doing it to replace subscription services. This ranges anywhere from piracy to libre office. So, they're not gonna pay you a subscription for something they can do themselves.

The audience is niche because you're aiming at a subset of a subset of a subset of people. You're looking to sell this to someone who:

  1. Doesn't want to pay for a service they can do by themself (self-hosters)
  2. Has the knowledge and desire to handle networking (no amount of preconfiguration will make them not have to set up which ports their services need while allowing freedom)
  3. But doesn't have the time/energy to do it themself
  4. Can afford to shell out a rather large amount of money ($150 is a lot to many people, and as the other person brought up; you'll likely end up selling it for much more than this after manufacturing costs)
  5. For a piece of equipment that is eclipsed by a 3 year old desktop computer from eBay

The amount of people who self host anything is already abysmally low - just look at the social media user count. There are more than twice as many people on r/pathofexile (which is already pretty niche) as on r/selfhosted. Obviously reddit isn't the end-all be-all of representation in that way, but you can definitely get an idea of trends from it.

Scuttlebutt in this case refers to gossip, which is also why the water fountains are called scuttlebutt - people would gossip around them

Pretty sure KDE connect can handle this, but I haven't played with the notifications portion of it much

I mean that's just how acceleration works. Speed is distance over time, acceleration is change in speed over time, hence distance over time (speed) over time

I've only used two nectar collectors, both from the Nectar Collector brand. One analog, one electronic. Definitely preferred the analog for the reasons you're stating - the E rig just didn't get hot enough to take those big dabs.


Cleaning doesn't need to be a tedious task by any means, keep a bin of Q tips and ISO nearby to where you smoke and hit the tip with a bit after every hit. Quick ISO swab and then dry with the other end, the rest of the ISO gets evaporated when you heat it. Prefer titanium tips, as they're less likely to crack from being heated while damp. YMMV but this is how I've kept my dab rigs and nectar collectors clean for a while now

This screenshot made me long for NMM. Spending hours curating mods to create the perfect look and feel, then spending less than half the time playing the game lol

Yeah, I worked at Walmart for a bit and we were taught to look out for weird situations with gift cards and politely ask what the customer's plan was. If we thought they were getting scammed, we'd get our manager involved to talk to them

You can actually, and I would suggest, grab a fresh Fedora install that comes with either of those DEs. If you don't wanna do that, I would suggest at least making a new user so that the gnome stuff isn't crowding your new life

Aren't level 4 systems still illegal in the US anyway? I remember Volkswagen holding off on a minibus due to this limitation when they managed to create a working proof of concept 8ish years ago

Yeah I actually think that my favorite horror movies are the ones that get me asking questions, rather than being scared. I like being intrigued by the evil, like in Smile (until the twist at the end, it was a perfectly good psychological horror that did not need a monster)

[...] mouse following cat

I think I saw something recently about the cursor getting some tweaks in Wayland, I think KDE was working on it? Not sure if it'll help this kind of stuff but they're trying to standardize the cursor a bit better
