again, “rice” and “ricing” is racist terminology. read the post above for more info.

hexbear and lemmygrad are fantastic. makes me feel very welcome and safe as a queer person (i am bisexual) that the admins will always crack down on queerphobia in any form. very cool for our trans comrades as well! lemmy.ml is a close third place, many cool ppl on there especially comrade dessalines.

lol, they can’t do shit about it. if they could then they would have by now, as would YouTube

OpenSUSE Leap 15.5 -> Tumbleweed conversion

Thinking of trying to morph my Leap workstation into Tumbleweed (and potentially Slowroll once that project matures enough). I’ve seen that you can do it . I reckon I can rollback relatively easily via the BTRFS snapshots if it goes sideways, but just curious to see what others’ experience with doing so has been.

short question by an aspiring user

Hello, apparently hanging out in Lemmy inadvertently makes you thinking about using Linux. I am planning to install Linux Mint cinnamon on an older laptop, which I want to bring to LAN Parties. From what I read I can just format my C:\ windows disk, install Linux via bootable drive and from what I understand, proton is basically...

@blakeus12@hexbear.net avatar

nope, don’t even format it. just plug in the usb and pick the option that wipes your drive.

no problem, good luck with mint!

I made it to Linux! What is your must-have FOSS or Free Software for linux?

Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm! sankara-salute

one of the main reasons i use my computer is to call my friends, as we live pretty far apart now. we use discord, whose voice feature was almost entirely broken for some reason, and i couldn’t convince them to switch to matrix.

blakeus12,
@blakeus12@hexbear.net avatar

thank you for the insight!

blakeus12,
@blakeus12@hexbear.net avatar

would you recommend another distro? if so i would love to hear it

blakeus12,
@blakeus12@hexbear.net avatar

thanks for the advice! i think i’m going with mint.

blakeus12,
@blakeus12@hexbear.net avatar

awesome, i hope it works on my second try

@blakeus12@hexbear.net avatar

thank you, that seems to be the general opinion i have seen online. i am writing this on linux mint, thank you to all of the comrades who helped me pick it sankara-salute

Amour Plastique its that one from the stupid Napoleon memes, me and my friends made fun of them for a while until it just got stuck in my head

Are we living in a baby universe that looks like a black hole to outsiders? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Our Universe appears to be expanding and cooling, having originated some 13.8 billion years ago in a hot Big Bang. However, it’s plausible that what we see from inside our Universe is simply the result of being inside a black hole that formed from some parent Universe. If the black holes that form in our cosmos give birth to...

blakeus12,
@blakeus12@hexbear.net avatar

how could this be ‘plausible’, it makes no sense based on how we currently understand black holes.

please stop using ricing! the term has racist origins.

blakeus12,
@blakeus12@hexbear.net avatar

it was used as an offensive term for asian men wanting to improve their low quality cars

agreed, it’s my favorite part of lemmy. when i see CatadoraStalinism i’m like, hey, thats the guy that asked me if i was a Trotskyist that one time. if your reading this, i am not anymore by the way.

any graphing calculator apps that don't suck?

most GC apps i have seen have been awful, lokcing features behind pro mode, ads, etc and i was wondering if there is anything good out there? FOSS would be great but not nessacary, and if there is anything free out there, wonderful. i know desmos has an app but to be honest i am not a desmos fan. i am looking for something more...

sorry comrade, but under capitalism any amount of people is too much as capitalism itself is predicated on infinite growth.

Questions about Rooting

I use my phone a lot, and a huge thing that bugs me about it is Moto’s airtight grip on everything I do. So many apps I never use are flat out necessary, every update comes with 2 or 3 shitty mobile games I never play, and I am just sick of it. So I am looking at rooting and would like some advice from my comrades on lemdroid....

Marxist-Leninists cant reliably detect content D:

How would someone, hypothetically, pirate Baldur's Gate 3 without being able to torrent?

I am interested in how pirates on the internet (which i am not) would get there hands on the files to a game, just, for example, Baldur’s Gate 3, without torrenting? Now, I have heard tell of a place where these nefarious no-gooders would do this, for example gog-games.to. But, once they have acquired the file, what steps to...
