Im beginning to use lemmy more and more and preferring it over reddit. Its much better, conversationally and without the suggested Jesus and Army and Navy ads etc. However my usage is still similar to reddit, ie scrolling and reading alot of things and memes etc. But the conversational interactions seem alot more productive, i like that.

Nothing currently can compete with Adobe Photoshop. Unless they port it to linux. It would take open source devs serious time to catch up to Photoshop development. Plus without making millions of dollars for decades, the development of another application of that scale and complexity would be a serious undertaking. That said GIMP as you know is probably the best "alternative". For me I just dual-boot and use windows for basically Adobe Suite. All other times I use linux. However I learned GIMP a long time ago so I am comfortable using it for what it can do, and I'm probably faster in GIMP than PS. I am not a professional graphic designer etc. though.

i usually have efi boot partition (512mb), / (linux root), /home (i usually make this pretty big) , and swap partition.

Good article. I'm curious, what warranted a warrant for the FBI to seize the DB and other things?

I wore the crap out of my pair of New Balance skate shoes, forgot the model. But they're still going strong. Ive biked with cages, walked, work construction, whatever, they're just dirty but they're still holding up.

is it common practice to have a web browser or media player running with elevated permissions? seems like a strange thing to do...

Can you bring a canister cook stove? something like a Jetboil? that way no need for a whole fire etc. you can boil water etc, cook basic stuff like ramen etc. make coffee...Hardy veggies should be good, beef jerky, cured meats like salami etc. dried fruits and nuts, bread, crackers etc. regular fruit, granola bars...i would just bring a little burner thing if you can it will be so much nicer than only eating cold foods etc.

Pop OS works well for me.

it is a text based environment of you OS, you can switch between multiple text based environments. if your graphical environment is just black, but the OS is still active you should be able to switch to another text based environment using that key combo (ctrl-alt-f2 or f3 or f4 etc.) from there you can potentially roll back the driver, view system logs to troubleshoot, etc.

oof. thats fucked up.

I'm in this camp. Been messing with linux since 2004. Ubuntu 5.10 i think it was, Fedora core 4, slackware, crunchbang, arch...almost 2 decades later i'm on Pop OS. shit just works it's out of my way. i can customize it to look how i want, set it and forget it. nvidia works great etc. i use the terminal a lot though. mainly for bash scripts and ssh server stuff, directory navigation and management etc. I use a lot of third party TỤI apps too. I like the option of having a stable easy to use GUI for mundane lazy periods and the ability to do whatever i need in terminal. Plus pop os with tiling and floating window manager toggle is awesome.

I wonder why...

i have multiple google drives synced right into my file manager...like i just click it, it mounts it, and drag stuff in and out as if it were local...i'm on debian with gnome. dropbox works the same way. obviously icloud and onedrive may be more difficult, but i'm pretty sure there is something formsyncing up onedrive, but i choose to disable one drive on all my windows devices.

killing the apt update shouldn't break anything since its not installing any packages it's just updating your repos. i would have just killed the pid 1635...also not sure if it would break something but i doubt it...did you dmesg to see what else info you might be able to find out?

What distro are you using? Which deivers did you update? What hardware do you have? nvidia gou? etc. Definitely first try going into different tty with ctrl-alt-f2 or f3 etc.

ive been using mailspring, pretty happy with it.

Ive been using Pop OS which has their own Gnome extension (Cosmic? or Pop Shell?)for tiling/floating windows management and it works really well for me. Its toggle-able and adjust window size and placement pretty well imo.

make good food and eat it.

I'm wondering if you use cloud based hosting what kind of protections you can get. For instance if you're running an AWS EC2 instance to host an Mastadon instance. Primarily running from outside of the USA, but utilizing Edge locations so the primary server hardware is not actually in the USA in this example.

i guess cross your fingers and do a hard reboot!
