I just went and looked at r/videos and I gotta admit that the text-only descriptions of videos and enforcing swearing in every post title is pretty funny.

what in the actual fuck

This is our new puppy, Hiccup

Somewhere a dev in the real world is scrambling to fix the bug in the simulation’s physics engine.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good let’s play of this? Anytime I’m thinking about watching a let’s play I never know who to pick.

Fascinating to see these two come together on this. Rare to see cross-aisle collaboration on anything these days.

Read this and chuckled and then realized I’ve got sheets in a pile on the couch right next to me.

Thanks! I installed this and it seems like it will do almost exactly what I want. I think I'd still prefer to have a calendar app where I can see both work and personal, but I can leave that as a project for another day.

Thanks! Do you find that you have a hard time picking things back up with this set up? I’m worried that I’ll forget a lot of the stuff that I cared about / strategy if I step away from a game like BG3.

I’ve never heard of this before. It seems useful. Thanks for the intro!

I'm a happy Linux user. The biggest problem with Linux for the average user is that you have to install it. Most people use Windows because it's on their computer when they buy it. The average person isn't going to distinguish between the hardware and the software. They see the computer and the OS as a package.

Thanks! I just subscribed to !googlepixel@lemmy.world.

Not really anything specific that I’m worried about, it’s more just that I don’t know enough right now to have informed opinions on whether I should do things like give an app ABD permissions, other than that I’m planning to not root or expose other lower level permissions until I understand more. Your answer actually really helps, because I can categorize ABD permissions in that bucket. Thanks!

How does stylus support work? Are there good Linux apps for hand writing notes?

Thanks! Glad to hear I'm not the only one who is flabbergasted by this design, but kinda bummed it wasn't just user error. I appreciate the suggestions for workarounds.

Yeah I think I'm just going to need to build muscle memory to do it that way instead. I think it's especially not useful for me because I recently imported all of my photos from iCloud. A whole bunch of what shows for me are old engagement photos of me and my ex. 😂

Thank you! I really appreciate getting concrete info on what can / can't be seen by IT admins.

Thanks for sharing that article. Fun to read that in general, and especially since it’s from a different culture.

Yeah, you're right that that's what's going on. I realized it last night and I found a way to change the timestamp on all those photos. I haven't done it yet but I'm hoping that will solve the biggest part of my problem.

I originally was planning to install GrapheneOS, but now I’m not so sure. I’m honestly quite interested in features like Call Screen and the photo editing stuff, and my understanding is that at least Call Screen won’t work on GrapheneOS. I’m definitely keeping it in my back pocket, but I want to try the full experience first, and I also need to go through a threat modeling exercise as well to decide whether I truly want to do custom roms or not.

I’m also playing Disco Elysium! It’s fun but so far has yet to completely grab me as it seems to have done for you.

I don’t know about getting worse as you get older but this is my experience exactly. I didn’t use to have this issue.

Wow! Maybe this was naive, but I wasn't expecting this to get so much controversy and downvotes. I'll post a few thoughts here FWIW.

1. I see a lot of comments in here that remind me a lot of this New Yorker cover. As with any other country, there's lots of different types of people in China with lots of differing opinions, but some comments in here feel like they're casting all of China as a monolith. I should probably know better than to expect nuance on the internet, but the amount of opinions in here that were expressed as if they were total undeniable truth was still kind of annoying.

2. Following up on that, the main point of the article was requesting that people not conflate the CCP w/ companies and players. No one who was born in China chose to be born there. But they still have to live their lives, find creative expression, etc. I also hate the CCP, but I was surprised to see so an article that was trying to distinguish between the CCP and ordinary Chinese people receive so many comments that just brought up the CCP.
3. All that said, while I definitely disagree with many comments in here, I personally didn't feel like I saw comments in here that were racist, despite what some people suggested.
4. For me, this article made me interested in finding out what cool games might be getting made in China that aren't being released to the West. I also found it disappointing that the article explicitly called out that lots of the cool stuff isn't making it to the West, and yet so many comments here talked about how China hasn't made any good games, with no acknowledgement of whether the commenter has tried anything other than a small handful of the ones that actually got translations and came over here.

Anyway, that's it. Thanks for reading and hope you have a good day.

I use DuckDuckGo. Oddly, though, I find that results on searches for specific Linux issues I may be running into are almost better on Google. Given the number of people here saying they get better results with something other than Google, I'm curious if anyone else has had similar or contradictory experiences with Linux troubleshooting searches.

Two cowboys begin pacing out a high noon duel on the board

Not at all! I appreciate the thoughtful reply.

I’ve been playing through Anchorhead, a text-based game from the late 90s that got a reboot in 2018. It’s fun and my first time really going through a text-based game.
