PotatoesFall,

Flaws:

  • fails to address leap years
  • fails to address 365th day
  • moon cycle will still slowly deviate
  • retains clunky 7-day week that doesn’t interact will with decimal counting system

I like it, but I got an even better proposal. Weeks should have ten day weeks, and each month should have 3 weeks. summer/winter solstice and the spring/autumn equinox as well as new years day are special holidays that fall between months and interrupt the week cycle. In leap years, new years is two days.

The 1st, 11th and 21st of each month are now Mondays, so you can tell the weekday of any date. Months are the same length just like in Jesse’s proposal, but an even 30 instead of a clunky 28.

I’ve thought about this a lot

PotatoesFall,

Fairphone 4 can run CalyxOS

PotatoesFall,

Yeah I guess it depends if you care more aboutrepairablre and sustainable hardware or privacy in the software. shame we can’t have both :P

PotatoesFall,

it’s just a meme. although there is perhaps a higher percentage of trans people using linux, perhaps due to the correlation with autism or because they’re attracted to less opressive alternative safe spaces in general

PotatoesFall,

These things are dangerous. This person is using it at a safe distance but you can blind somebody at close range. Either that or the camera is insanely good lol

Is linux good for someone tech illererate.

Now i’ve been considering moving to linux. I don’t have much of a history using a computer and find it tougher to use than my phone. But I also really appreciate the foss movement. I’ve currently got an old laptop running windows 11 I think and it would prolly speed up with linux too. But I’m afraid I’d fuck smth up...

PotatoesFall,

i gotta join in with the other Linux Mint voices here. It’s very user friendly. You just need to know:

  • the desktop environment is called Cinnamon. this will help you google stuff.
  • the system package manager is called APT, and if you just use the update manager you won’t have to interact with it directly, but it’s good to know.
  • in the software center many apps have the options sytem package or flatpak. system package means it goes through APT, flatpak is a sandbox system that is good for isolating your apps from your system. imo always choose flatpak, except for steam.
PotatoesFall,

idk the context but I still think it’s funny

PotatoesFall,

Ah gotcha that makes sense thanks!

That being said I can imagine if KDE didn’t have Kate or Konsole or any of that - there’s plenty of text editors and Terminals that already exist out there.

PotatoesFall,

Ah I didn’t realize COSMIC also comes with its own GUI toolkit but that makes sense, thanks!

PotatoesFall,

So they’re building a whole complex text editor just for the desktop environment? seems like a weird priority or is the text editor a separate project?

PotatoesFall,

what’s green debian? debian with cinnamon?

PotatoesFall,

work on decentralized technology like lemmy

PotatoesFall,

in my experience, installing one breaks the other or at least changes it. it’s a shitshow honestly

PotatoesFall,

stop giving him a platform I’m so fucking done hearing about Musk on Lemmy every second post

PotatoesFall,

CS lecturers aren’t necessarily good programmers. If people workong at big tech companies would do this in their spare time, now that would be fantastic.

PotatoesFall,

hello, lego city police? I’d like to report a comedy homicide

PotatoesFall,

Gibt bestimmt ne deutschschprachige Community wo das besser reinpasst :)

PotatoesFall,

The purpose for this one is for scientists that normally use Fahrenheit. Those people don’t really exist though

PotatoesFall,
