How do I cope with my father hating me?

My father, who convinced me (16 m) at the time to move in with him instead of my mother when they moved. All 3 of the other siblings stayed with my mother. He then kicked me out the week I turned 18, a week into my senior year. Since then he stays in touch only to speak with his grandchildren (now going on 4 kids). I have never...

I’m just gonna drop a link to Captain Awkward’s “families” tag here, there’s like a 99% chance she’s answered a question similar enough to yours to be helpful.

Yep, hypnogogic/hypnopompic hallucinations are extremely common and generally nothing to worry about. If they happen to you a lot, it might be a sign of a sleep disorder, but they aren’t connected to mental health issues.

Preparing to move from Ubuntu to Fedora

Hi! I’m seeking some advice and sanity check on hopping from Ubuntu to Fedora on my personal PC. I’ve been using Ubuntu LTS for almost two years now, switched from Windows and never looked back. But I cannot say I know Linux well. I use my PC for browsing, some gaming with Steam (I have AMD GPU), occasional video editing,...

Honestly, if you like Ubuntu but dislike Snaps, Linux Mint might be a better choice than Fedora if you’re not as comfortable with Linux. Mint is basically “Ubuntu without all Canonical’s garbage.”

Not “cheating” per se, but still bad.

I use SpiralLinux on my old Inspiron but it’s basically just Debian with some user-friendly tweaks. I guess you could try Tiny Core or Porteus or something really small like that.

Linux Lite. Trying to pare down Ubuntu is a fool’s errand, and they still use snaps.

Oh they’re not as dumb as the rest of us, that’s the scary thing. They’re even dumber.

I like SpiralLinux a lot. I installed it on my old Inspiron and it runs like a dream.

Why not Zoidberg?

Gaming laptop with good Linux support?

A similar question was raised some day’s ago from a other person, but with different background. In this case, I would like to buy a nice gaming laptop. Of course I would use it for office and coding to, but primary I’m searching recommendations for gaming. I would like to play Wine/Proton game’s and also native Linux...

As someone who uses a fairly cheap gaming laptop with an NVIDIA GPU: I would advise against NVIDIA. I’ve successfully gotten mine to work, but it’s been a hassle. If you can avoid it, do so.

One of my cats just got diagnosed with kidney disease. We caught it fairly early, but she’s 15 years old and it feels like this might be the beginning of the end. Even 15 years feels too short. As Tamsyn Muir wrote, “Life is too short, and love is too long.”

I wish I’d known how much of a pain in the ass having an NVIDIA card would be. I would have gotten a different computer.

I’ve been using it for a while now, no complaints.

Thank you for adding links, I didn’t think to. You pretty much have it spot-on, but also: no ads!

How is it even possible/practical to obey traffic laws?

I’m talking specifically about obeying the speed limit, doing a full stop at stop signs, etc. After receiving a speeding ticket for doing 53 in a 50, As an experiment I went a full day obeying all traffic laws 100% and it caused so much road rage. For example, there is a 2 lane road near me with a speed limit of 50 (where I...

I don’t think “not wanting to be the target of others’ road rage for actually following traffic laws” is childish, tbh

I use Libre Camera. It’s OK. I suspect Google Camera is better but I don’t feel good about installing it.

Intellectually, I know there’s nothing wrong with eating insects, they’re just another animal protein source, but I can’t get past the “ick” factor.

Also GrapheneOS on a Pixel 6a. I know it’s ironic but Graphene has worked really well for me.

In the US, the only time you'd have to boil water before drinking in most places is if there's something wrong with the water system and they put out a "boil water" advisory, and that's pretty rare. It's definitely not something you have to on a daily basis. Some people will use water filters but it's not usually a necessity.

Why is every Searx instance down when I try to use it?

I want to use SearxNG as my daily driver, and I added three instances to my browser’s search engines list. However, I find that all three are down whenever I try to use it, and I inevitably have to look at the list of instances and click the top one just to perform one search. Is there a way to “auto-route” my search...

I just made this for dinner the other night. The only cooking you have to do is quinoa, and that doesn't take very long. Make sure you use the "natural" peanut butter with just peanuts and salt in it, the kind with all the extra additives will NOT mix together properly.

I’m like a Kinsey 1.5. Just bi enough to be uncomfortable with the “straight” label but too hetero to feel comfortable claiming “bi.” It’s great 🙃
