I honestly think the whole Linux community should be reading that sub rather than acting like Linux is perfect. Right now desktop Linux is for very tech savvy people who are willing to put in the time to learn and fix, and it’s for their grandmas who only need a web browser and maybe a word processor. Anyone who thinks differently needs to get their head out of the sand. I use Fedora.

Bow tie. Needs a waistcoat.

No.

It’s not impossible to do at all. Until you’re 30 there’s lots of countries that will let you have a working visa. There’s some cultural exposure program to encourage young people to travel the world and experience different cultures. I’m pretty sure Canada’s on it. I’m not interested in going to the States myself, I like how much room there is but the culture isn’t for me and I find the towns and cities dull.

I like travelling myself and I’m always looking to move somewhere else, being at home is just boring to me and I find it hard to settle.

If you want to make a life of it you need to look at getting some kind of job which will enable that kind of lifestyle like the military or some kind of diplomatic service.

I’ve lived overseas myself and you need to be aware that every country has good points and bad points. Something that seems like a quirk will be fucking annoying after a few years. It’s all good fun though.

Yorkshire Tea use compostable tea bags. I think most of the other big UK brands do as well but you should only be drinking Yorkshire.

The concept is so cool, how could they mess it up?

I’ve got two Thinkpads and I always use the Trackpoint. The touchpad’s gathering dust.

From reading the article it just sounds like they’re turning Thinkpads into normal laptops.

These changes are only happening in the US. They wouldn’t be allowed to do this in the EU anyway, not without being sued loads.

I’ve been trying to get Frigate working, on and off, for about eight months now. I’ve got a Debian server but it just won’t detect my Coral TPU inside my Podman container. Since you need such an old version of Python to test the TOU I can’t prove it’s working in the host so I don’t know if the problem’s with the drivers of either my container setup. I vowed to get it working over the Christmas break but it’s still not there.

What kind of meat is that? It looks disgusting.

How’d you get Haswell working? I run vainfo and it complains that it can’t recognise the chip but I’ve followed everything on the Debian wiki. When I google the error all I get is people complaining about it being the result of a bug and the responses are usually from developers promising to look into it.

What’s wrong with Epic Games launcher? I understand that they require some sort of delivery mechanism, even if you don’t use Epic you have to use Heroic or something. Is there something else I should hate?

Those same criticisms were there when it was released. I remember reading it on Digitiser.

I didn’t realise anyone thought Diddy Kong Racing was better than Mario Kart.

I remove anything by KDE and find an alternative from the 21st century.

I also install Janus as my text file editor, which is a Windows Notepad clone.

Proper Crimbo by Bo Selecta is my jam.

The one to turn off is Feliz Navidad, I don’t know how it’s made its way to the UK lately. I don’t know anyone who likes it but I think it turns up on a lot of Spotify playlists when people search Christmas music.

About 40%, but it’s been more in the past. I was about 16 before we got the internet so I know what it’s like to live without it and I actually spent a lot of that time being bored, rather than reading books and otherwise expanding my mind as people would like to have you believe. I use the internet to support my other hobbies now. There’s things I would never have even known about without the internet and it’s great for learning about things. I like making my own beer and working on my car, etc. I wouldn’t ever have started making beer had I not read about it and working on cars is a lot harder without YouTube.

I’ve been reading BBC for ages and if anything I’d say they’re pro-Palestine. They constantly report child casualties, etc.

The upside is that I don’t scroll down my feed and see the same post 20 times.

I get what you’re saying but surely a lot of these problems are already present. You can ban a user but they can just go create a new account on a different instance and go back to posting wherever they want.

Personally I’d like to see some kind of tracking thing so Lemmy’s aware of duplicate posts and then the client can be configured how to behave according to user preference.

Of all the games I’ve played in the last year I’ve only got one that doesn’t run perfectly on Fedora (Deathloop). It wasn’t even hard to get them working; Steam, Heroic, and Proton.
