I’ve told this story on here before, but here it is again: I used to write for a very Windows-centric computer magazine, and after a couple of years I noticed that most of the content I was writing was about how to make Windows behave less like Windows. So I thought I’d give Linux a go, and I haven’t looked back since. I’ve had phases when I tried convincing all my friends to make the switch, but I’ve realized that it’s just not for everyone. I don’t think I’m obsessed, I don’t customize my desktop much, I just want my system to work smoothly.

One step at a time…

Is the deer the Libreboot logo? Mine has a rabbit (Coreboot). I flashed Coreboot on my old Chromebook a couple of years ago and it’s been running different flavours of linux since without any fuss.

Fair enough. I had never seen the word before, but saw it used in comments in the same way that people usually use whine so I assumed it was a misspelling. My bad. Thank you for teaching me something new.

I believe Dell even has some models that come with Linux preinstalled.

I’ve been using Connect and Liftoff most of my time on Lemmy - can you compare those two to Sync, if you’ve tried them?

Nah, people aren’t smug about using POP OS it’s more like Ubuntu for gamers.

Yes. Whenever it’s fitting to say “fuck Nvidia!” So likely forever and ever and always.

And that first album is pretty much an under-appreciated masterpiece.

Indeed! Her love versions of “Troy” give me the chills. It’s a good song on record but her intensity of the live performances lifted it into legend territory.

Edit: spelling (two words).

I don’t want to live anymore.

I know life is tough right now, and it sure sounds like yours is rougher than most. As somebody who’s been struggling a lot, both with finances and healt, lately as well, I can relate somewhat. I know it’s not much of a comfort and kind of a cliche but: when things are as bad as they are now, they can only get better. It sucks waiting while everything sucks, but unfortunately that’s all we can do. Also, look around you. There’s always something to live for, even if it’s just seeing the sunset again or the smell of freshly cut grass. You’re right though, if only money was distributed more evenly and the super rich were taxed fairly, things would be a lot easier for many of us. In the words of the hardcore band Deez Nuts:

“money can not buy you happiness it’s true what they say, but a motherfucker’s still got bills to pay”

Yes, you can walk around it but what about someone in a wheelchair?

Thank you, I didn’t know about piped.video so this was very useful.

Good bot!

I’m signed up through lemmy.ml and subscribed to communities on several other instances, including Kbin.

You find Tildes image heavy compared to Lemmy? I have the opposite experience. Maybe I’m subscribed to some image heavy communities here?

I can live without whatever it offers that android doesn’t.

But t that’s the thing, isn’t it? iPhones don’t offer anything that Android doesn’t except maybe blue Text bubbles.

Im not the person you replied to but I’m from Denmark and WhatsApp isn’t very common here (at least not with people I know). most mobile subscriptions here include free texting and otherwise many people just use FB Messenger.

Edit: clarification

it means that I can’t copy text to cite in comment replies.

Like /u/Danilo said; you need to tap the comment, copy text and then insert as a quote. It’s not exactly intuitive, but it seems to be the way to do it. I hope it gets fixed.

Edit: spelling.

This is what I do too. I’ve been considering switching to XFCE everywhere, because why use more resources, when XFCE does the job insert The Office “why waste time say lot words …”-gif

Yup. That’s me.

Yeah, Tildes is actively trying to be something else. I like that.
