Mambert,

I’d start with Ubuntu. If there’s any niche software, it will probably run on Ubuntu/debian distros.

Mambert,

Was it the bill of rights? I thought it was the articles of confederation, which came before the constitution.

Mambert,

GMO isn’t bad. Everything is genetically modified.

Patented foods already exist. Have for years.

Monsanto has corn plants that don’t grow at a consistent height if you try to replant the seeds, making them profit by getting you to buy more seeds next year.

We already have seedless plants, bananas.

Mambert,

Dominate the market instead of make the market better? I don’t quite follow.

A seed that can be planted in more areas, and consistently grow more abundantly, seems favorable for all.

Yet I can still go to the farmer’s market and get my 60+ types of apples, honey, etc. If I want something special.

Or are you saying that once one seed is produced, companies will stick with that instead of continuing to improve the seed? Because that’s not the case either, there’s hundreds of varieties of corn, each able to tolerate slightly different conditions.

Mambert,

If I didn’t already buy the 512, the oled would be worth it imo

I’m in the same boat with my switch as well.

Mambert,

I think seeing how well the OLED versions of consoles sells, Nintendo will release their new switch with OLED, then make a cheaper non-oled version like the switch lite / 2ds /etc.

Mambert,

For getting your value out of it, I highly recommend emulation.

Mambert,

One important thing you need to know about distros: they’re all the same under the hood.

You can have any desktop you want on any distro. But some customizations are redone in some distros. In terms of programs you want to run, they pretty much all work on any distro. If a distro is “better for gaming” it usually just means the programs are pre-installed.

People talk about arch and Debian as the best because they have the least customizations, allowing you to install and customize as you wish.

Linux users are mostly tinkerers, they like their customizations their way. I’m in that boat. The less I have to remove to get my customization working, the better. Just give me a black screen and a white blinking cursor, I know how to do the rest from there.

Mambert,

Yeah, you look at how there are a handful of package managers, and hundreds of distros, they’re pretty much all the “same”

But yes gentoo and NixOS do things the most differently. But even on those you can game on them.

I mostly want to discourage distro hopping with the belief that they’re missing out on a program or desktop, only to end up on windows because they’re tired of reinstalling everything.

Mambert,

I’ve never used Wayland, x11 is fine for me.

I have also had issues with Wayland, but I have heard issues with Nvidia cards and Wayland.

Mambert,

I just don’t use my impact drill on them and I’ve never had an issue.

Mambert,

I just sonic welded my steam deck, with extra rivets through the screen and fan to be sure.

What do you all do on your phones that isn't doom-scrolling or mindless mini games?

I find myself checking out pretty often and just making myself feel bad about the state of the world, or killing half an hour on stupid games that I could 100% live without. This is probably pretty common, and I’m wondering what other people have found as a way to do more productive things with their phones in the downtime.

Mambert,

I’ve been playing chess and chess puzzles.

I need a low budget laptop

I want to create a setup where I have a powerfull PC at home, and a lightweight economic laptop to carry around like at school to take notes or watch media on the go. I’d like to spend around 250 euro, and for the os linux is ok. Thanks for the help. P.S. sry if the sub doesn’t fit but I didn’t know where to post this...

Mambert,

A used laptop with a fresh battery, SSD, and RAM would be the best performance-per-dollar setup, but I agree chromebooks are very cheap of you just want a simple web browser.

If you want to go with a chromebook, I repair chromebooks for my job. I recommend the HP 11 G8/G9 model. They’re light, cheap, perform just as good as any other chromebook, and they’re easy to repair.

Can an average person who works a full time job become capable enough to rival a secret agent like James Bond or John Wick on their own ?

If so what kind of training they would have to go through ? By training I mean the spatial and situational awareness, combat skills (this is kinda unrealistic), enough knowledge to turn any situation to their advantage etc....

Mambert,

Just work out after work, train on the weekends, and you’ll be better than a majority of people. And isn’t that enough most of the time?

Mambert,

Learning trig has made me want to blow brains out so much more than biodiversity ever did.

Mambert,

If you look up “how to make a bookmark” for example, you might find the tutorial for the right browser you’re using, or you might find one for chrome/firefox/edge, or you might find a tutorial on a real bookmark.

Narrowing your search to the specific program you’re using will get you better results. “how to adjust mouse sensitivity in Linux” will not get you good results. Look up “… In Linux mint” or in your chosen desktop environment. You’ll get much better results.

Mambert,

Deliberate edits, quote mining, etc. Imo

Mambert,

Is this anti-CRT? I fully accept if I’m reaching too far.

Mambert,

After a Pirates of the Caribbean drinking game, I’m getting into sea of thieves.

Mambert,

Camera and batteries. Turn it on and send it. I’m about to host the hottest twitch stream.

Mambert,

There’s definitely wifi and printers in hell.

Mambert,

When I was 18 I remember selecting “yes I’m over 18” for the first real time. I was just hit with the reality of “Oh. I’m not doing anything naughty anymore. I’m not in the wrong at all. I am now just a dude watching porn.” hits harder than you think.

Mambert,

I started getting into games this morning. It’s fun. I don’t like the online-only part of the game, but they support Linux straight from release, and I will always support that.

Mambert,

IIRC payday 2 lost it’s native Linux build, however, I never played it, just used proton.

Mambert,

Same! I have some games launch natively end up being super zoomed into one corner, can’t navigate around or anything. I have no idea what the fix is, but switching to proton works.

Mambert,

I Alias “sudo !!” with “plz”

Mambert,

The middle bun of a big mac

Mambert,

It’s FOSS or it’s loss.

Mambert,

Sync was my choice back in the reddit days, I paid for the ad-free experience, and have even had the team personally help me out when ads reappeared after one update.

But if there’s something I disagree with, I just have to deal with it from the developers. On Jerboa, I’m freely allowed to take the entire app and distribute it on my own, even charge for it, with no consequence. That freedom allows for a lot of customization with few workarounds. And I support that potential.

Mambert,

MLK wouldn’t have been as successful if there wasn’t Malcolm X.

Mambert,

Radical, yes. But as big as an advocate for violence as Malcolm? I admit I haven’t read much on MLK.

Mambert,

I am interested. I’ll try to find the workshop mods later and link them.

Mambert,

Blahaj medkit: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=28…

HRT Estrogen Pills: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=28…

Just to be clear to anyone who doesn’t know: Workshop mods are safe too use in valve games, and can easily be removed.

Mambert,

Too much

US

Mambert,

What other issues? I’d like to see that chat as well.

Mambert,

Slow motion sounds like dropped frames, are you connecting it to a 4K TV?

I’ve been using my steam deck about daily, what software channels are you referring to?

I have never used steam’s remote play so I am unable to diagnose or help with that issue.

Mambert,

Now you’re making claims that valve isn’t helping you, and not showing evidence of it.

If you can’t show it, you don’t know it.

Mambert,

It’s very hard to tell. Most decades have inertia that carry on 3-4 years in. You didn’t see people vaping or people with full beards drinking craft beer until 2013.

It’s hard to tell what’s seeping into the new decade from the last decade, what’s here to stay, and what’s new to come. Are NFTs the new thing? Or just a symptom of the boom in crypto the 20-teens.

I do predict AI will be here to stay, though.

Mambert,

Meaning, if you ever get a cut in your eye, go to the doctor, or else you’ll lose the eye.

Mambert,

Actual penetration. When the outside touches anything inside the eye. Something poking the outside really really hard isn’t going to introduce your antibodies to the inside of the eye.

Mambert,

We have a great warranty posted in our website, but the warranty you get in the package is nothing like it.

Mambert, (edited )

I’ve always been able to read that my kernel is included in an update.

Are you updating throught he command line or some visual front?

And 1200 packages? I run arch (btw) and only get ~250 a week.

Mambert,

But I like the sounds of lichess more.

What games have you played in the last 365 days that stand out to you as the most memorable experiences?

I think the most common answer is going to be Tears of the Kingdom, and that is one for me that stands out for sure, but I will try to add some more unique inputs as well. Many are games that came out longer than a year ago, but i didnt get around to playing until more recently....

Mambert,

To the moon. Man, what a roller coaster of emotions.

Mambert,

I try to keep it FOSS where I can.

Mambert,

I remember it being in the bottom corner of some VHS tapes back in the day. Maybe a production company?

Mambert,
