I think it’s actually pretty neat. The aquariums are cool. The restaurant at the top has good catfish and a great view. I wanted to sleep a night at the hotel just to see what it’s like. It’s all swamp cabin themed.
I tired Linux a few times in the past, but didn’t really start using seriously until 2019. I love poking around old OSs and distros, and I want to spin a few up in some VMs my next free evening....
I almost feel like this a somewhat pointless feature. It’s almost easier to just learn the default ones as opposed to adding “-modernbindings” or creating an “enano” variant/copy.
I’m a regular user of Linux systems but apart from a couple of test Ubuntu installs many years ago they’ve always been containers or VMs with no DE which I can throw away when I break them. The Steam Deck showcasing how far Wine/Proton has come combined with Windows being Windows has given me the push; I’ve made a Mint...
I haven’t had issues with windows messing my boot in a very, very long time. I see people mentioning it and it always scratch my head. It might be related to me switching to UEFI boot.

Everywhere I am there is a guy running a leaf blower. At my house, leaf blowers everywhere all day long. At work, of course, leaf blowers blowing dirt and allergens into the air. It’s such a special noise, it goes through walls and headphones so effectively. They are the most pervasive, annoying things on the planet. I hate...
We adapt. Whenever I have my relatives from Brazil visiting, they’re always wearing coats indoors while I’m wearing short sleeves and shorts. A few years ago, I endured 40-45 C summers.
To contend or strive, especially on even terms or with success.
“coping with child-rearing and a full-time job.”
To contend with difficulties and act to overcome them.
To form a cope or arch; to bend or arch; to bow.
As a foreigner it’s really jarring seeing this verb adopting a new meaning of “failing to cope”. I’ve seen it many times, it’s definitely not you and not new, but it does make the English language just a tad more inaccessible.
When I first started using Linux 15 years ago (Ubuntu) , if there was some software you wanted that wasn’t in the distro’s repos you can probably bet that there was a PPA you could add to your system in order to get it....
Oh I’m not defending PPAs at all, I’m glad we’ve moved past them, I just thought it was a Debian tech that got boosted by Ubuntu. I see I was in error. Thanks for clarifying!
Encouraging something and disabling something are two different things. They have Flatpak in stable, which is untested software. That’s not why they didn’t use PPAs.
Oh it’s completely different. Reddit is phpBB v2. A forum/bulletin board.
Circles is closer to kbin. You could create ad-hoc circles for your friends which worked like labels. So you could post to that circle of friends without making it public to your circle of coworkers, for instance. You could also have communities which were essentially forums/public circles. And there was the microblogging aspect too.
*I was there, 5000 years ago…*Ads were unobtrusive and nobody cared about them. Then greed happened. Pop up ads, massive content hiding ads, privacy intrusive ads… not using Adblock now is like not using condoms.
But then you can’t double tap the space bar machine gun style. Jk, sounds smart. Which side do you usually leave for space? I imagine that gets significant more user than the other.
Thank you everyone for taking time to help out. While looking for keyboards, I’ve found a great deal on a new Keychron C3 Pro at Amazon for around $30. It’s a wired keyboard, but it’s got hot swappable brown switches and I figured there’s no way I’d find something better to dip my toes in this hobby....
