  • My Experience Switching to Linux

  • Yeah, I actually just started looking at running windows in a containet on Linux and then using RDP, hopefully I'll get a chance to play with it this week.... would let me run windows things without rebooting!

  • Yeah, I've tried it and it kindof worked last I tried. I had an issue where the browser in the upper left just wouldn't expand and it keeps giving me warnings about direct x expiring. I was hoping to use it but I don't know if Fusion on Wine is really ready for prime time. :(

  • Oh, I've been a Linux user for a long time, mostly on the server, not as a Desktop. Unfortunately Fusion 360 kindof runs under wine but not really so it's still the one thing I have to reboot for.

  • The big thing for me is a hotkey which launches a window I can put in an application (partial is fine) or command and it starts or runs the command.... so I do <Ctrl>+<Space>dark and it launches darktable. You can also have plugins that do things. So for example, after I upload my .torrent files, I delete them locally. So I have a rm command which just runs rm ~/Downloads/*.torrent.

    Yes, I could click on the menu, type in the command I'm looking for but this is a little quicker. Plugins also allow you to do complicated tasks quickly.

    I dunno, I've gotten used to it.

  • Seriously, Ubuntu used to be my goto distro but Canonical's shenanigans have caused me to look elsewhere. So far I'm liking OpenSUSE tumbleweed.

  • Seriously, I thought I'd need to install something or configure something, nope, one toggle in Steam. I think everyone who uses Steam and Linux should know about this!

  • Yeah, I'm just so used to Fusion that it's hard for me to make the switch. I'm probably going to get tired of rebooting and start looking at FreeCAD 1.0.

  • Terrified Trump flees tariffs war after CEOs’ ‘empty shelves’ warning

    Jump

  • I read 1984... I really liked it but I thought the whole war is peace, freedom is slavery bit was something that no one would really buy. Then Trump took office and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I now believe 1984 and don't question it at all. :(

  • China says there are no negotiations with the US over tariffs

    Jump

  • I'm not really pro-china on much of anything but I agree with them on this. Trump's tariff's are bullshit and he should be called out on them.

  • There's a whole darknet diaries episode 153: Bike Index where he basically talks about stolen bikes being sold on Facebook and Facebook doesn't seem to care. They can't get the facebook pages shut down and this guy continues to sell stolen bikes on Facebook.

  • Tori Amos commented on the allegations:

    And if the allegations are true, that’s not the Neil that I knew, that’s not the friend that I knew, nor a friend that I ever want to know. So in some ways it’s a heartbreaking grief. I never saw that side of Neil. Neither did my crew. And my crew has seen a lot.

    Gaiman is the godfather to one of her kids and apparently she was pretty close to him. If she didn't know, I feel like Terry Pratchett wouldn't have known either. This isn't like with Epstein where association implies knowledge of what was going on. After reading all that I have on the allegations, I'm comfortable believing that Pratchett wouldn't have known anything about the alleged sexual assault and if he knew anything, it was that Gaiman was known to sleep around... consensually... with adults. (Because apparently this seems to be known among people close to him... including that he and Palmer allegedly had an open marriage)

    So unless further info comes out that indicates otherwise, I will continue to enjoy Pratchett's works.

  • Freeze your grapes... wash them and pull them off the stem and lay them on a baking sheed in the freezer. Grapes will last longer and they taste good frozen.

  • yes? you can legally purchase a plane without a license... did you read my comment? purchasing != using. You don't need a pilot "under current contract" you could buy a plane and taxi it around the airport if you want without any licenses.
