Very resourceful, I like it.

Added benefit: you'll definitely hear it if someone tries to open the garage door and steal all your stuff in the middle of the night

Mate, nobody is crushing on the American healthcare system

It used to be quite a fun place, back before 2016... then it got flooded with extreme right wing people who didn't stick to their containment boards.

Boards like /g/ (technology) had some good information.

It would be interesting to see post count excluding bots, to see if actual user post numbers are increasing

Was this in 'murica?

Linu

Brilliant, also works for Wayland systems

In know your comment isn't serious but do you know how wasps pollinate figs?

It's pretty cool, the fig is actually a load of flowers pointing in towards the middle of what we think of as the "fruit". Each variety of fig has a specific species of female wasp that burrows in and then lays its eggs inside. The male larvae hatch first, fertilise the female larvae, burrow out and die. The females then hatch, use the burrows to exit and fly off to find a new fig. The female wasps fertilise the figs in this process. Some wasps end up trapped inside the fig and get partially dissolved by an enzyme...

Some commercial varieties have been bred to fertilise themselves but in the wild the figs don't ripen without the wasps.

I live in quite a rural area and we have power cuts semi regularly, and we also have no signal on any network. It used to be quite fun plugging in the backup corded home phone with its curly cable to phone the power company!

Lack of screen tearing is a good point if it makes a difference on that person's hardware.

My thought wasn't so much about recommending xorg (or not), more about whether the user would even be aware what that meant, or care at the point when they start using Linux. Kind of like launching straight into a flame war about systemd. In theory they (or their distro) should be able to switch the backend without the user noticing

What difference would this make to a new Linux user? Basically none, right?

Ah thanks, I've seen it a few times but thought it was a bug. Why are people like this!

Btw

All of your comments have "banned" next to them for me (logged in via lemmy.world using Liftoff) - any idea why?

I assume you're not actually banned...?

Interesting, thanks. I had a feeling snaps would be in the list!

I'm cirious about what you dislike about Ubuntu?

Just paste it into the end of the file, save and close it, then run "source ~/.bashrc" in the terminal to force bash to read the new settings (or close the terminal and open it again).

Is Pop!_OS really that popular? I started using Linux about 10 years ago and it wasn't around then, so I never tried it in my distro hopping days. I see it's developed by System76 so I can see why you'd choose it on their hardware, but is there any point doing that on other hardware?

Probably easier to play Doom on a kobo than an oscilloscope!

I just ordered myself a Kobo Libra 2, was hoping to run Inkbox on it but I see it's not supported yet. I'll just have to wait!

We can all agree on the last point
