  • What's your "I switched to Linux because..." Story?

    Jump

  • I've been purging all big tech from my life as much as possible. Meta was easy because they don't really offer anything. It took quite a while to eliminate google. Once that was done, it was Microsoft's turn.

    I've also been absolutely fed up with Windows over the years. Each release somehow gets worse and more clunky and in my way of doing what I'm trying to do. So on top of being untrustworthy, using my data and generally being capitalist assholes, Microsoft's product itself is shit.

    I installed Mint and seen what innovation actually looks like. I also realized most of the things I love about android are actually features of linux under the hood. So I intend to jump on the linux phone bandwagon as well.

    I've been using Photoshop for over 20 years. That's been the hardest part. GIMP is impressive but for as long as it's been around it's still a little rough around the edges here and there. I'm learning to deal with it though.

  • Stephen Miller accused of 'incitement to violence against judges' with new 'purge' comment

    Jump

  • "It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general."

    If any of that was true, this shit would already be over with.

  • Looking for hobby ideas that you can immediately do for intense frustration/duress/anger that DON'T involve exercise? Looking for something like physical movement combined with mental engagement.

    Jump

  • Boxing. And before you dismiss it as mindless excercise, do some research and you'll find that there is a Lot more to it than just hitting a bag.

    Startup costs aren't too bad. A pair of gloves and a bag that stands on it's own won't set you back too much and will last quite a while.

  • TIL that if you search "Password generator, [x] characters, [y] strength" at DuckDuckGo, it will generate a password for you.

  • Yeah I think I'll just click an icon in my password manager instead.

  • Where is the "no, f*ck you" button?

  • Delete the Google Play Store and install Aurora off of F-Droid. This and many other problems solved.

  • Minimum specs

  • I'm literally camping out in the woods right now and installed linux on a mini PC last night. No real home, no job, but I've got penguins!

  • There’s a growing number of Americans who think violence might be necessary to get the country back on track

    Jump

  • There may have to be a free-for-all hellscape phase before getting to an organized something-better phase in the hit video game super mushyroom kingdom.

  • Its all bots, isn't it?

    Jump

  • I think this is somewhat true on X, Meta's platforms and Reddit but not so on lemmy.

  • Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics?

    Jump

  • That was a great watch, but I think it's actually more simple than that. Content creators want to focus on their content. If it is now considered acceptable to have a mic on camera, hiding it is one less thing they have to deal with while shooting.

    I do find it extremely odd to hold a lav mic though. Maybe that's the only mic they own. I donno.

  • You're having an argument with a voice in your head or something. I'm just going to tag you and go about my morning. Good luck with whatever it is you're dealing with.

  • Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics?

    Jump

  • This. Any time you're not sitting at a desk/studio you need some kind of mic. And these new wireless mics work well. Now people are opting to not buy/use the big studio mics because the wireless ones work good enough and go anywhere.

  • Absolutely. Just don't do anything shady with that information. I think that's all anyone's asking.

  • US government shuts down after Senate fails to advance both parties’ bills

  • They'll spend tens of millions of dollars on a fucking ballroom but suggest giving americans healthcare and they'll allow the entire government to shut down.

  • Nearly every weather app that exists is repackaging data from an official, tax funded source. Apps using weather underground data possibly being the only exception.

    Show me one that doesn't want location permissions and such. So now they've got Your data and can do as they please with it.
