Please, please, please, don’t be caffeine! 🤞

Fine with me if the victim wants to express forgiveness in a personal or spiritual sense but that should be irrelevant to the criminal case. There should be consequences when a Judge / court fails its duty to serve justice and protect the broader community.

Here we go! Congrats to the System76 team!

I’ve used it in a VM just to mess around. I’d like to install it on an old ThinkPad and try to compile some applications.

Bill Cosby comes to mind. Creepy and not at all funny. Never understood the appeal.

This is so wonderful. Both easy and familiar to use and inspires much nostalgia of course. This is how I will Lemmy from desktop from now on.

I was against the talk of introducing a “Lemmy gold” until I stumbled on this comment.

This is a good place to start if you’re already using the computer for several tasks.

Wow that’s cool! 🤞for old.Lemmy.world

I am happy with Proton.

What do you want to self host? To learn or experiment buy a cheap old x86 box. I get mine at goodwill auction. Otherwise desktop is good if you want something that needs more compute and that you’d spin up as needed vs always on.

Pop!_OS runs great on my intel MBP.

Writing by hand with a pen you like on nice quality paper can be enjoyable. The best for me is when I journal on my typewriter.

I see you

+1 for Brother. Works great printing from Linux.

Do you really need to dual boot for office?

I’m doing fine compatibility wise with the OnlyOffice flatpak. If you have a school account with Microsoft perhaps the PWA for Word, etc. will meet your needs.

For a laptop distro with a good tiling DE out of the box you might enjoy Pop!_OS.

Have you seen this?

I use Gnome with the pop-os tweaks: shell, launcher, and workspaces. Looking forward to the new COSMIC DE from System76.

I’m using Evolution as I prefer their interface. I’m curious to give the new Thunderbird a try when there’s a flatpak.

Hi, Brent!

I’ve used NetSurf a bit on low spec machines.

Firefox for personal. I like Edge for work stuff.

FreeTube is great for downloading YouTube content to Jellyfin so my daughter can watch it without ads.

It has a laptop style fan for the cpu. I've never noticed any noise but I have it off in a corner and near some noisy af parakeets so it's silent to me.

I was also asked this question at 15 while being interviewed by the local Sears. I went on to sell shoes though. Cordless phones would have been cool.

I am running my home server on a Dell 3050 from shopgoodwill.com and it was ~$40 without hard drives. It has room for an m2 drive and SSD so I have Ubuntu/Docker on the m2 and all my data on an SSD.

I wish I could get over the learning curve with GIMP but tbh my current workflow involves a windows 10 virtual machine for Photoshop. It works for my needs without GPU pass through.

I've been switching my Excel tasks over to Python using Pandas and Matplotlib. Most of my data is .csv and OnlyOffice seems to handle large files just fine. LibreOffice Calc gives me issues with large files.

+1 for Mlem. It's buggy but still a better default experience than Reddit's official App.

Learn Linux TV

My experience has been that LibreOffice will not correctly render my .csv files when they are above a certain size. Not talking about big data here either like a few thousand rows. For this reason I use OnlyOffice instead.

Edge > Chrome. I use it at work. Much better.
