  • Not me switching to arch from windows during exams and losing all my school notes right as I need them most.

  • What are some things(or ways) that you use to save time or get things done efficiently? Especially things that would be useful for many and are currently less popular.

    Jump

  • On windows I don't actually like alt tab, though on Linux I really love tab switching and window switching, which is basically the same thing. :shrug:

  • Interesting idea using 2 weekly notes. I personally use daily notes, but it is too limiting for things such a groceries or planning.(daily is better for introspection worse for planning).

    If your comfortable sharing could I see the general format for your weekly notes?

  • Question: If windows is required, what distro do you recommend?

    Jump

  • I'm using arch Linux. But for the most part I don't think it really matters.

    Flatpack Teams, and web version the rest of the M$ software.

    It works well enough. Though web versions of M$ software is weirdly limited for reasons I can only understand as arbitration.

    For instance very large excel files don't load in web excel, and iirc you cannot insert formulas in web word.

  • Fun thing about large scale food scarcity. If you have a calorie deficit for a few months, you don't anymore.

    On a serious note. Habit destruction, warming, pollution poses a very serious risk to food stability and could very well lead to famine.

  • Steam survey for June 2024, Linux still above 2%

    Jump

  • What I like more is that it looks like only half the win10 users are switching to win11

    Edit: -1% win10, +0.5% win11

  • Whats that icon pack? I really like the obsidian and firefox icons

  • Lemmy comrades/people/lemmings who have learned a new language using online resources, what/how was it like?

    Jump

  • Currently learning dutch through Memrise on my phone and spaced repetition on obsidian.

    Its slow going due to being swamped in school work. But i've found it more effective than my highschool french class ever was.

  • what are 5 Lemmy communities I probably haven't heard of but should join?

    Jump

  • Dang most of these resemble my old reddit favourites.

  • How the hell should I even switch mail providers?

    Jump

  • I could never get into Thunderbird. It would always crash out from the shear quanitity of old emails in each of my accounts.

  • what Lemmy communities don't exist but you wish they did?

  • The instant I'm out of school im deleting my windows install. I also have the sleep mode being useless because windows just wakes up sporadically.

  • What popular product do you think is modern day snakeoil?

    Jump

  • I practice polyphasic sleep and reducing blue light is pretty important there to avoid messing your circadian rhythm.

    The community recomends wearing the orange laser protection glasses, the same ones laser cutter operators use. Because that's what glasses actually have to look like to filter blue light.

  • Oh that's me. I'm tired and bored so I'll share my story.

    I was "depressed" because of working an abusive toxic job and commuting 2 hours a day for dimes. While at the same time spending my free time in the doomerism of r/fvckcars

    Filled out the doctor's questionaire and was diagonised with anxiety, and depression. I even had the bottle of pills before the hour was even over.

    Lost the job, and swapped my pass-time from pessimistic r/fvckcars to more optimistics YouTube/notjustbikes

    No more depression, never needed those anti-depressants because it was never a proper chemical depression.

    To many doctors just want to medicate the symptoms and never bother to consider the sickness underneath.

  • Not OC, but some ways to "reduce consumption" are reducing our usage of inefficient technology by replacing it with more energy/resource efficient means.

    Examples include replacing individual automobiles with mass transit, building more dense cities to reduce consumption of construction materials/ vehicle miles, and not training massively large language models in facilities that consume more energy than an entire small country.

  • How bad is Microsoft?

    Jump

  • Apple is highly restrictive on their OS and over priced. They are extremely pro consumerism with heavy marketing and engineered obsolescence to ensure you are always pressured to buy their new tech, and they are historically very strongly anti-right-to-repair.

    Microsoft is bad. But at least they are primarily a software monopoly.

  • If you didn't have to work, how would you spend your time?

    Jump

  • I'd probably spend my time learning IT, computer hardware specs and maybe networking.

    Maybe build a private file sharing | streaming service for my apartment, and start a website blog.

    Perhaps also persue digital art and finally learn how to use vectors.

    Maybe also make a YouTube channel and spend my time educating others.

    But alas, im bound by my need for an income and will spend the next few years trying to persists as a (almost) new mechanical engineer bachelor.
