Use Ubuntu until you have a first-hand reason why you should use something else.
It's not perfect, but it's still the 800 lb gorilla, and it's what things have the least chance of not working with. It has the most eyes on it and the most immediate solutions when you google a problem.
If you don't like Gnome, then use Kubuntu.
Depends on your definition of "eat".
If you mean "Can be chewed and swallowed without causing undue harm", then, yeah, you can eat wood. Well, most wood, I'm sure there's some out there that are some level of toxic to humans.
If you mean, "can be consumed as a source of nutrition", then, no, you can't eat wood. Humans lack the capability to digest it.
Buddy had one. Second-hand, it seemed like a tremendous pain in the ass, didn't allow him to do most things, and in the end it seemed a moot point. The radios are all closed source/proprietary, it connects to closed source/proprietary/corporate-controlled towers, and you're sending data to people running totally insecure devices. Ultimately his use case was to just establish a VPN connection to his home computer and route everything through that.
I can see getting into a Linux phone for the interest of the operating system and trying to push the technology, but if it's a security/privacy issue, I think you're much better off either using a dumbphone or a burner.
I've never heard the term "threadiverse". Where are you coming across it?
Sony made some significant changes between the PS4 and PS5 controllers. I don't know the details beyond the dynamic resistance triggers, but if you buy a controller board to make your own fightstick, it'll work with everything up through PS4 and then you need an additional daughter-board to make it work with the PS5.
Six does look great. I really appreciate the Zangief redesign and how it takes him looking like a bodybuilder to looking like a strongman competitor. Hopefully they'll be an analogue to Champion Edition so I can pick it up for a bit less and not have to pay extra for half the roster.
In OP's situation where they're downloading a car, I think it's a safe assumption that the car has already been designed/engineered and OP is just printing it out and assembling it. This would be akin to a kit car, and modern kit cars certainly don't require specialized engineering skills to assemble.
I think if you want meaningful recommendations, you have to say:
Without knowing those things, it's just going to be people proselytizing their favorite distros rather than suggesting one that will fit what you're looking for.
Can't speak on the rest, but I am so glad skinny jeans are finally going out of fashion. That couldn't happen soon enough.
Interesting to me that this is getting such high reviews. I played through the demo and came away entirely uninterested in playing it any further. The story looks fantastic and I really enjoyed the world, but I felt like I was only in control of my character maybe a quarter of the time; the rest was all cutscenes, QTEs, or rail-shooter. When I was in control, it felt pretty shallow, either button mash, or button mash with correct enough timing to trigger parries/perfect blocks. It doesn't look like a bad game, it's just not something I'm interested in spending my time and money to play.
I'd LOVE to watch this as an anime.
Mastodon isn't really about the "celebrity" follow how twitter was, it's more about finding your own tribe of weirdos. I second (third?) the idea of following hashtags, and then checking out those accounts that post to those tags.
The other thing I'd like to mention is the people I see happiest on Mastodon have all migrated servers at least once. Get an account on one of the big main servers, explore, then move to a small instance that suits your interests and has people you like. That makes for a much more useful and entertaining local feed. Don't feel it needs to be a 100% match, it's more about the people (it's about the cones ).
Which is hilarious to me because how Linux handles application installations/updates though package management is so much easier than anything on the Microsoft side. No muss, no fuss, no chasing down dependencies, just "install X" and X is now cleanly installed on your system as well as everything it needs to run.
Full agree. Get his product's name as part of the general term and it'd confuse people into thinking it was the original.
At it's core, whatever system you implement is going to have four buckets:
When you set up filters/rules, it's typically safer to err in putting something in a higher priority bucket.
Past that, it really depends on the email you receive. For mine, an easy differentiator is if I'm a direct recipient, just a CC, or if I'm getting it as a member of a group mailbox. I get a lot of automated notifications, and those are easy to sort based on source and subject line.
Depends on the story being told. Some stories are perfectly encapsulated in 90 minutes, some need 90 episodes.
That said, I find shows have both a lower initial commitment and a higher potential payoff, so I don't watch many movies.
It seems rather ironic to make that post on a fediverse service.
Wing Commander: Privateer.
I'll never forget when I went over to my friend's house and I couldn't understand how the pirates weren't attacking him. And then we loaded up my save (off a 3.5" floppy) and he couldn't understand how the militia weren't attacking me. It's the first time we were ever exposed to factions that responded to your actions.
I sank so much time in that game. Never paid too much attention to the storyline, but I did have the fastest ship with highest-end targeting computer and a full load-out of the best weapons.
Depends entirely on the person and what things they want out of a social life.
For me, if I didn't have social media, there's a lot I'd miss out on. It's how two of my main social communities communicate any of their events, and it's a big part of a third. There would definitely be a negative impact for me if I nuked all my accounts.
You can certainly build your life to have your definition of a thriving social life without it, but you'll have to go out of your way to find those groups that use other methods for communication.
You could always try booting up a Live CD and testing it out. It'll run a bit slower than a native install, but it's a super-easy way to check things out.
I don't really grok products like this.
If you have a fundamental disagreement with a platform, continuing to engage with it, even through a condom, is still perpetuating it. It's maintaining that platform as still important and integral, and a place that others should continue to engage with. It's telling advertisers that it's still a place that's worth their money to maintain a presence on. It stymies the momentum in shifting to an alternative; why put the effort into a new service if people are still seeing your posts?
It's like pirating Windows instead of moving to a different OS. You're still perpetuating the MS hegemony and telling software developers that Windows is the platform they need to develop for.
