The composition is incredible. I wonder how this was taken, or if it’s one of those hyper realistic drawings

It doesn’t look AI generated

Edit: the reflection of the rope holding the swing doesn’t match. The reflection is quite straight and clean compared to the reflection of the wood supports. Odd

All distros are equivalent, as far as software is concerned. They all have access to the same open source software, and Flatpak; AppImage; and Snap can be used for extra portability.

Think of a distro like a pre-configured image of linux. You can always change the configuration later, if you desire. For example, the Desktop Environment. All you have to do is just install a different DE package (usually via command line)

The DE has a major impact on user experience. Use KDE plasma for a more windows-familiar experience, or Gnome for a more Mac-familiar experience. Or experiment with others

The Linux Experiment is a good resource

Linux is already at 4.5%

You called?

Oh, so that’s what all of you are talking about.

I still don’t really see what all the fuss is about

If you use any kind of ad blocker, switch to FireFox

Chrome is deliberately crippling ad block extensions via manifest v3

Shell scripts don’t count

That’s not a programming language, that’s hieroglyphs

Exactly, that’s why you write down ideas immediately, when you have them

I have obsidian set to dump new notes into an “Inbox” folder

If i have an idea, i jot it down in a new note (usually from my phone), and move on

Then i can later catalog it properly

Don’t brainstorm

Collect ideas as you think of them throughout your day. Then when you need to “brainstorm”, read through your ideas and references

How to take smart notes

For lurkers hoarding high quality content for this community, this is your sign to press the button “New post”

I’ve never really had good ideas to post

Even on reddit

There’s a reason I run Linux, and root my Android

Because it actually feels like my device now

(And fixing issues is significantly easier, if you know where to look)

I’ve gone full linux both at home and at work. Thankfully, most of the tools we use are cross platform / FOSS. But in the odd case, I use KVM (the linux equivalent to Hyper-V) to spin up a windows VM

It has it’s issues (like graphics card pass-through), but it works pretty well

Use a spectroscopic app on your phone

It’ll help you identify the source of high pitch sounds

I once noticed an external HDD was making a high pitch noise intermittently, as the LED turned on and off. It was bizarre

Edit: spalling

I feel like that would cause false positives

Then again, not that many people mess with their router

I recently broke the networking stack by uninstalling ca-certificates

I was using a slightly risky command to delete unneeded packages, and for some reason ca-certificates was on the list

At least the fix was simple. Boot the rescue iso and reinstall them

I spend a lot of time in the r/furry discord server

It’s a wonderful place to just chat. Imo, discord is fine as a chatroom

It’s the same for me

Except, i try to give reddit as little traffic as possible, unless i need it for reference for something

I only use DDG for searching. I use Google for things like checking business hours or directions (you can use !g to search google)
