wuphysics87, to memes in My brain hurts

I’ve never seen an episode of Friends. Why bother?

wuphysics87, to memes in Yeah, well...

Fluoride is more than slightly effective. It’s the most sucessful public health project in history. It’s saved millions of lives, is cheap AF, and is completely trivial to distribute.

wuphysics87, to linux in (Constructively) What is your least favorite distro & why?

As in what does it mean to itemize. In this case to make an unordered list.

You need to learn how bullets work, my friend.

wuphysics87, to linux in When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? **Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.**

Pop!OS. It is maintained by a company called System76 who make Linux computers. You might think about getting one if you want a new computer. Support the cause!

wuphysics87, to linux in I'm so frustrated rn.

I feel ya. I was the same way. They said don’t distro hop so that was the first thing I did 🤣 I guess the thing with a lot other people is they are used to the thing that “just works” (whatever the fuck that means).

For them, I just tell them use PopOS. Good distro. Little fuss. Maintained by a company with interest in keeping it going.

That said, I’m teaching a class this afternoon to CS majors and the first thing I’m having them do is install Arch in a vm 😉

Conversations about what distro to pick are often the biggest reasons it is hard to pick a distro.

The only reason you should ever distro hop is for fun

wuphysics87, to memes in Phantom of the Opera

This isn’t meant as a cynical comment. How much of this is really to help her and living women heal from suffering from sexism. Isn’t a dirge as much about the living as the dead?

It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again

wuphysics87, to linux in Is there such a thing as split-screen grep?

Don’t feed the beast.

wuphysics87, to linux in New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux?

Not at my computer, but you might check if there is a snap or flatpak

wuphysics87, to opensource in Looking for Notes App for Android & Linux

IMO, FOSS doesn’t do well with cross platform note taking and task tracking. I find it best to have two separate, but complimentary, workflows for mobile and desktop note taking.

My mobile notes are things like door combinations or pill counts/dosages/spellings, or travel info for longer/complex trips. Things I need at hand and that I can check quickly. I just use the default android app. Or very often just a piece of paper.

I use org roam with git for my computers. These are mostly code snippets, articles, journaling, etc. Things that are involved to the point I would rather wait for a keyboard than work on them with a phone. Same is true for writing on a desk rather than a pad.

I do have a few ways to go between devices:

  • I can read my computer notes on gitlab if needed
  • I use Signal Note to Self to keep or send one offs and images. (SUPER handy!)
  • Firefox syncs tabs

Probably a few others, but I don’t take pictures of my computer screen because I’m not an animal.

My workflows are pretty orthogonal, so this works well for me. Your mileage may vary.
