Mereo, to asklemmy in Other than Lemmy, what are you doing tonight?

It’s good to be a Canadian :)

Mereo, to linux in My move to wayland: it's finally ready

I had numerous problems with Wayland when I had an NVIDIA video card. Since I switched to an AMD video card, it has been a blissful experience. Wayland now works perfectly.

Mereo, to linux in I finally nuked windows

I’m curious, how did it nuke your bios?

Mereo, to linux in What's your favourite RSS reader for Linux?

I currently use Akregator. Which one do you prefer?

Mereo, to privacy in New Advertisement and Internet connection permissions for Simple SMS Messenger on Google Play Store...

sigh. Most people will just accept the new default permissions without blinking an eye. They’re taking advantage of people’s ignorance.

Mereo, to privacy in Not even Notepad is safe from Microsoft’s big AI push in Windows

Thank God I switched to Linux. Windows 11 is a glimpse of what’s coming in Windows 12.

Mereo, to linux in Xorg – Wayland Transition Thoughts…

Very insightful! /s

Mereo, to linux in Steam Linux Marketshare Surges To Nearly 2% In November

Because of Valve, Linux is finally my main OS. I’m a PC gamer and it was a pain in the ass to dual-boot between Windows and Linux.

Mereo, to linux in GitHub - SerenityOS/serenity: The Serenity Operating System 🐞

The story behind Senerenity OS is quite amazing:

It was October 2018 and I had just completed a 3-month rehab program at a state addiction clinic in Sweden. I was unemployed, staying with family, and had basically nothing going on.

With no drugs or other vices to pass the time, the days seemed impossibly long. I struggled to find activities to fill them. I enrolled in school for a while, but it wasn’t for me this time either. Eventually I turned to programming, since it’s always been my big interest in life.

Until that point, my career had been focused on web browsers (WebKit at Apple & Nokia). However, I had always been interested in low-level things so I began tinkering with some of that. I wrote a little ELF executable parser… And an Ext2 filesystem browser… And a little GUI framework with an event loop…

Out of this tinkering, an operating system began to take shape. I chose the name SerenityOS because I wanted to always remember the Serenity Prayer. I was quite worried about my future at the time, and I figured that this name would help me stay on the good path.

My general idea was to build my own dream system for daily use. It would be a combination of my two favorite computing paradigms: the 1990s GUI and the no-nonsense command-line of late-2000s Unix.

Mereo, to memes in Bets on the next one?

For the life of me, I don’t understand why they rebranded themselves. HBO is such a recognized brand. I was confused at first about what Max was.

Mereo, to mildlyinteresting in Ancient Iran had air conditioning

It’s the internet, you never know. In person, by how the person behaves, you know if he’s being sarcastic or not. On the internet, not so much. It’s just text and I’ve seen people who were quite serious.

Mereo, to mildlyinteresting in Ancient Iran had air conditioning

I hope that was a sarcasm, if so, add /s.

Mereo, to asklemmy in Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

Yeesh. That’s like hating Windows because your experience is based on Windows 98. A lot of things has changed since then, a LOT.

Mereo, (edited ) to asklemmy in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

Block the communities you don’t want to see in your profile settings. That way, you’ll see more meaningful posts. That’s what I did, I blocked all memes communities.

Mereo, to asklemmy in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

Haha, he must have been. We always had interesting philosophical discussions.
