MX Linux with KDE Plasma

voidMainVoid, in What Linux distro should I choose?

Garuda is a great Arch distro which is gaming-focused. I do some coding, and it works fine for that, too, but I actually don’t know which distros are better for that than others.

On the other hand, Garuda also does things a bit differently than other distros, so I don’t know if it would be good for somebody new to Linux. I recommend checking out some videos on YouTube just to see what it looks like.

Chess. Reading.

Broadcast that we’ve discovered a cheap and hilariously effective FTL but to kick it off requires us to collapse the vacuum decay. We’re willing to do it and relocate to the other side of the universe, but we don’t want to destroy everything if anyone is around. Answer quick, we’re packing

Sleeping. Playing with my dog.

What do you do with your computer as a hobby?

phorq,

Inserting and removing junk and watching it to see its reaction to my touches…

LemmyKnowsBest, in Lesbians of lemmy, how do you introduce your SO to other people without getting them confused for just a friend?

Tell everyone that we livk each other’s clits three times a day and show them our promise rings.

Photography, mostly landscapes. Something satisfying about capturing the essence of a beautiful view and being able to share it with others who couldn’t be there to savour the moment. Sometimes a fancy digital camera, sometimes old timey film cameras my grandpa got me into. I’m also into backpacking, climbing, splitboarding, and otherwise just spending time in the mountains so there’s no shortage of views to capture.

I use cameras for a living and basically never shoot anything for fun anymore (if anything I’m shooting for my portfolio if I’m not getting paid), because there’s just no joy in it anymore, but landscapes are the exception I’ll always feel happy with getting photos of footage of the beautiful places I visit.

Amp What - it’s just fun and weird and useful. I go there are the time for specific characters and emojis.

Encoding/decoding. If something exists, it has a 25% chance of harboring a hidden message.

Mr_Blott,

I no list Alps what chess can fleester fields of the nephilim

turkelton,

Do you look at art and try to decode?

shinigamiookamiryuu,

A lot of times, yes. With surprising results.

For example, a form of letter substitution was made where different squiggle combinations were different letters, made so that a drawing can be drawn and the code could be visible in the lined drawing’s lines, making sure the code was made in such a way that it could be used no matter what was being drawn.

Colors, shapes, sizes, noise, measurements, anything that can be distinguished into forms and types is potentially someone’s communicating.

turkelton,

Oh cool - can you share the name of that work/those works?

I actually meant less “encrypted” artworks, but more “regular” works, where you would wonder the artists intent or try see what feelings the artwork can offer and why it works.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I could give the code, but not the works. I actually forgot what the works were with that (I looked).

shinigamiookamiryuu,

In exactly sixty seconds, I’ll post a relevant image to this page on this thread.

gwkt,

I think it could be interesting to encode messages into the DNA of an ant, for example, then mail the ant somewhere so that the receiver can sequence the DNA and decode the message

shinigamiookamiryuu,

That’s been done, though it’s much harder to do on living things because attempting to change the DNA of something that’s still alive opens up a can of worms that makes it not worth it. They’ve once proved you can encode the whole of Wikipedia on a few strands of hair.

Suck_on_my_Presence, in What is your favorite hobby?

TTRPGs! I’m currently playing in 3-4 games a week, GMing two of those. It’s definitely my escapism as well, but at least it’s fun

Rhynoplaz,

I’d love to! But it’s so hard to organize.

I’m stuck with video games for now.
