Hannah Montana Linux, the only true distro.

felbane,

The only distribution that’s Been There All Along.

Comes across forum post:

"Hey guys, I'm trying to run this ancient-ass game, and Linux says I need this thing apparently?"

"Update: never mind, I fixed it."

A wave of rage crashed over me at that last line. WHYYYY do they always do that?

That last line…deep breath…

Blackmist,

Or they leave a link to the solution.

The link is dead.

tslnox,

And is not on archive.org either.

MashedTech,

There should be an app that every time you copy a link to the clipboard it sends a request to archive.org to archive that url.

skqweezy,

Sounds like a security nightmare but it could work in certain cases (like just yesterday I was sharing a google drive link, I probably don’t want that to be archived)

Phen,

I always thought one day stack overflow would join April fool’s and display variations of “never mind, found it” on every question instead of the users’ response, but it never happened and now that the site is no longer generally relevant if wouldn’t be as fun anymore.

MashedTech,

Why is stack overflow no longer relevant?

Phen,

Isn’t it dying? I haven’t seen any numbers tbh, it just feels like it is.

0x4E4F, (edited ) in Why I use Linux

Is it just me, or does this feel like the work of a person with serious mental health issues?

_cnt0,

Seemed pretty reasonable and sane to me.

Namstel,

Yeah, it kind of does, but I liked it!

  • 0x4E4F,

    Was gonna say that, but was afraid of the repercusions… Lemmy has gotten quite sensitive lately.

    crispy_kilt,

    It’s kinda fun though

    I do it the Arch way. I don’t use Arch, btw

    Abnorc,

    I started with aeropress, but I somehow get more flavorful coffee when I do a pour over. I’m not sure how that happens since I’ve been hearing that it is easier to get good extraction with immersion brewing, but I just keep on doing whatever works best for the most part.

    platypus_plumba, in I don't need a declarative operating system for my home server... but it would be fun...

    This idea has crossed my mind many times. Thankfully, I’m too lazy to do anything about it.

    garden_boi, in They just don't understand

    Isn’t this rather a Windows meme? Since I started using Linux, I slowly grew into a 10-year-old-laptop-enjoyer thanks to XFCE and the likes 😅

    It can be whatever operating system you want it to be

    It’s very easy to clean and travel with, though. But yeah, it’s very close. Especially if you use a metallic mesh.

    Kusimulkku,

    Indeed

    barsoap,

    Not even close. French presses are way larger, holding a can instead of a mug, generally glass, and are pure immersion brewers while aeropresses are immersion/infusion hybrids, giving you way more options. The grind sizes you use are also vastly different: French press grind is coarse to survive the long immersion, while people generally grind for aeropress in between filter coffee and espresso fineness – roughly what supermarkets sell as espresso fine (which it isn’t, espresso fine grind is basically the consistency of talcum powder and spoils within minutes).

    And while it wouldn’t be right to claim that you can use them to make actual espresso you can use them to make concentrates that come darn close, definitely appropriate for a cappuccino, or tiramisu. You really don’t want to make concentrates with immersion.

    Oh and by default aeropresses use paper filters, while French presses use sieves. Preferences differ but as you can get sieves for the aeropress again you have more options.

    In short, it’s the brewer for someone who cares about coffee, probably has a (hand) grinder (and a mere chestnut at that), avoids buying any supermarket coffee and knows a source of proper but non-fancy beans, but doesn’t really want to go full nerd about it. Also, isn’t a hipster paying through their nose to get a Hario filter holder and papers in a Melitta region (or the opposite), or gets a ceramic filter holder which only means you have to heat it up… no upsides. Speaking of nerds.

    In even shorter, it’s at a very very solid performance vs. fuss sweetspot. At least if you’re making a mug of coffee, if you need to supply a table full of guests… honestly if I had to do it right now I’d throw grinds and water into a pot, wait a bit, then filter the whole thing through an ordinary kitchen sieve followed by an ordinary paper filter holder, and hope for the best.

  • barsoap,

    Tea is way more complicated. Wanna hear about my Yixing pot?

    Resol, in Can you install thid 25 year old program?
    @Resol@lemmy.world avatar

    Windows: nope, too old. Find a version that’s compatible with your current installation.

    Trust me, I tried playing some old CD games from my dad’s shed on Windows 10 for such a long time, it wouldn’t even let me do that without having to rely on a virtual machine. Most of those games were in French and German, btw.

    Dicska,

    I mean, I kind of understand with Heroes of Might and Magic 1 or Prehistorik 2 or something. But heck, even Guitar Hero 3 is impossible to install and play on Windows 10.

    Resol,
    @Resol@lemmy.world avatar

    I originally thought the games were for some reason DOS based (then why are they made for Windows then?), but no. Windows just hates old games.

    I even tried compatibility mode, no dice.

    pewgar_seemsimandroid, in big deal

    calm down before it becomes rocky linux

    Pantherina, in Pick wisely

    UbuntuCE is interesting, they have lots of blocking integrated. But thats probably just blocking “unchristian” content lol

    AVincentInSpace, (edited )

    There’s a built in domain blocker with various tiers, e.g. one blocks ads, the next tier up blocks ads and porn, next one is ads, porn, and gambling etc.

    I can’t help but notice that they put “Fake News” in a higher blocklist tier than “Social Media”

    Chewy7324,

    They suggest normal filtering DNS servers that filter porn, gambling and ads. AdGuard Family and similar.

    HStone32, in alias 2024='echo "YEAR OF THE DESKTOP"'

    How is money an issue? I can run down to the contracted office-supply refurbisher 2 miles away, buy a 2-year old lenovo mini PC for $160, and slap Debian on it for no additional licence fee.

    HStone32, in big deal

    Why do you guys insist on calling it GNU/Linux? It’d be like if you called your car a V8, and some weirdo insists you call it “transmission/V8”

    opensourcedeeznuts, in So sad when it happens

    Most of the games I play don’t run on Linux sadly. Even Lethal Company, which is perfectly fine on Linux, couldn’t be captured by OBS, so I had to switch to Windows before I could stream.

    Game compatibility is getting better but still not good

    caseyweederman,

    What about with the new… thing. Um. There was a thread about it recently. It did… a thing. A Wayland thing.

    Somehow, my exhausted brain managed to turn that into a reasonable search string.
    Gamescope. A Wayland compositor that lets you define virtual displays that run overtop of your regular desktop.
