What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

EDIT: Let’s cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We’re not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don’t believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I’m sure almost everybody has something...

Peanuts, ey? You mean photosynthesized elongated armored nutritional unappetizing treats?

Those are pronounced “Feanuts.”

Arch user here.

My recommendation to noobies is always Linux Mint even though I don’t use it.

I use Arch, btw.

Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them? (gadgettendency.com)

With support ending for Windows 10, the most popular desktop operating system in the world currently, possibly 240 million pcs may be sent to the landfill. This is mostly due to Windows 11’s exorbitant requirements. This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses. GNU/Linux may be...

I work in the behavioral health field as an IT security admin and network with hospitals/health clinics all all the time. The amount of them using XP and 7 in some capacity should scare everyone. The other security admins know it’s an issue, but they just laugh it off.

I tell them if I were an immoral man, their company would be compromised just based off of that information.

Is it ok to watch it dubbed or should I try to find a subbed version in your opinion?

That’s probably the best microwave dinner left on the planet if it doesn’t have freezer burn.

Yessir.

This new year is my year of Wayland. I’ve got Hyprland going on my new work laptop. Still using my old one with i3 for the time being since I’m too busy during the day to thinker around, but I’m slowly getting this new one ready. Hopefully will be done by the new year.

Neil,

That’s pretty much exactly what drove me to it, plus the excuse to get started on Wayland. Like it or not I think Wayland is the future.

I’ve been on i3 for near a decade for what it’s worth.

I don’t remember it, but my dad and I were going down a slide together when I was a toddler and he accidentally rolled over me and broke my leg, lol. I was only one at the time, apparently. I suppose I would’ve died then without any healing.

I finally switched back to Linux as my daily driver after a couple of years of being on nothing but Windows.

I ran Manjaro Linux as my daily driver a few years ago but slowly phased it out for Windows for some reason, and I’m finally back using Linux (currently Linux Mint). I gotta say, I don’t know why I ever switched back to Windows. There’s just so much freedom Linux gives you right off the bat that Windows is just plain...

Windows 11 finally made me tell my boss “i’m not using that anymore.” I’ve used Linux exclusively at home and Windows at work, but got fed up just like you. I have a VM for testing purposes as the security admin and it’s actually improved my workflow since I can tear down and bring up VMs instead of using my main OS for testing.

Glad to hear you’ve had a positive switch as well.

Which items/products were you once able to get from local shops on a whim that you now more or less have to order online?

Sometimes I find myself shopping for things that I’d prefer to go out and get within the same day, but now I’d have to order and wait a few days to get…So I’m wondering what some of those things may be for you?

Neil,
@Neil@lemmy.ml avatar

Unfortunately, anything non-perishable. I go into local shops and can search an item I want on the internet and it will always be way, way cheaper. Cheap enough to where I can’t justify “supporting local business.” I’d love to, but I’m just as broke as everyone else right now.

What stops you from returning them in the situations in which you don’t?

I am assuming it’s got something to do with your bones.

Neil,
@Neil@lemmy.ml avatar

Partially true… I’ve been using i3 for roughly 8 years so setup and usage is pretty dang quick these days. I’d say it’s worth it if tiling piques your interest.

Not blaming you or anything but the troubled/racist phrase that’s been going around for a while is “we wuz kangs.” I noticed that right away too.

Ah, gotcha. I have to agree with the other person that responded to you. The type of recovery I’m talking about happened several years after being barefoot near 24/7. The foot shape actually changes, the muscles get stronger, skin gets thicker, etc.

A week going barefoot in a hostile environment with already damaged feet would just make them worse, like in your case.

Neil,
@Neil@lemmy.ml avatar

What happened to you? Just curious and don’t want to disregard your experience. It helped me immensely.

Neil,
@Neil@lemmy.ml avatar

Perpetually barefoot person here. Your feet start to heal and become normal again after you stop wearing shoes all the time. They can withstand jumps like this.

I tried oneko for a day and wow… not my thing. Constant distraction and I didn’t get much done that day, lol. Not recommended for the work computer at least.

I gave you 50 upvotes and downvotes to show support for this idea.
