  • Where do you draw the line regarding windows?

    Jump

  • I drew the line when my Windows box told me I couldn’t do something even with admin. Kid, you work for ME, not the other way around.

    Always preferred Linux over Windows, but I had issues with games on it. I just decided that I wouldn’t play any games that didn’t work. That was a couple of years ago now, and things have only improved since.

    My fiance, who is not a technical person, even decided she wanted her new PC to run Linux unprompted, which is a hell of a win for Linux and for me in not having to support a Windows box in the house.

  • I first started running Linux in the early 2000s. I wasn’t solely using Linux, but it was very much a situation where I used it for what it was best at and used Windows for where I needed Windows. Mostly that was for games, but it was early in my IT career and Windows was a skill I needed to build, so I did a lot of dual booting. It really propelled my understanding of computers running and breaking multiple OSes.

    I fully made the switch a couple of years ago when I realized I hadn’t booted my Windows install in six months. Linux has come a long way, and has also been helped by so many things being browser-based these days.

  • LEGO Build Complete

  • I picked that one up, but haven’t built up the courage to start building it yet.

  • You have complete control over your franchise of choice, what are you retconning?

    Jump

  • Completely jettison all of Star Trek Discovery and the Section 31 movie.

  • What’s even the appeal of Linux?

    Jump

  • What finally pushed me over the edge was when I was trying to fix something in Windows and it said I couldn’t access that part of the OS. Bitch, you work for me, not the other way around. I’ve flopped back and forth between Linux and Windows for decades and just decided that anything I couldn’t do in Linux I just wouldn’t do. So far, I haven’t really encountered anything. With how much of my average computing is done in a browser these days, Firefox doesn’t really care which OS it’s running on.

  • Should I eat it and jump to win11?

    Jump

  • It sounds like you’re really sensitive to workflow disruption at this time in your life. You can’t change from Windows to Linux without some pretty hefty disruptions, same as if you chose to go from Windows to Mac. If you really don’t feel like you have the personal bandwidth to deal with the workflow disruptions and learning curve, you should go with Windows 11. If you hate it, it’s not like Linux won’t still be there for you to investigate later when your life calms down.

  • The race depicted are notoriously dumb and only achieved space travel by stealing the technology. Don’t think about it too much or you’ll see all the holes in that idea.

  • What goes well with celery?

    Jump

  • I love it with hummus.

  • Windows 10 Support Ending Soon

    Jump

  • “…you have the audacity to come to me for help?

    Sure! Linux isn’t nearly as difficult to use as people think. There’s a learning curve since Linux does things differently than Windows, but you’d face that if you switched to Mac, too. Here’s a USB disk with [insert user-friendly distro here] loaded on it. If you can make your computer boot with it you have all the skills necessary to install Linux. You can test-drive it from the USB and if it’s just too different from what you’re used to, it won’t have made any changes. Have fun!”

    What TV show intro will you never skip?

    Jump

  • It’s so short that you might as well sit through it.

  • What are your favorite sleeping shows?

    Jump

  • Futurama or Star Trek TNG.

  • I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists?

    Jump

  • My Mustang Mach-E has a physical key, or you can use your phone as a key, or in a pinch, you can set up a door code and an activation code to start it. The physical key still isn’t an actual key, though. It just needs to be near your car. There’s no physical lock in the door or the dash.

    So like, the complete opposite of what we need?

    Jump

  • If I had that kind of money, you'd never hear about me again. I'd just stay quiet and fund a whole lot of charities and scholarships.

  • Whats the most rewatchable TV series of all time?

    Jump

  • This is my go-to. I have the old DVDs ripped onto my Plex server so that I can hit shuffle on all the old seasons and just watch episodes at random.

  • DECA games finally addresses Star Trek Online playerbase following Cryptic's forced exit

    Jump

  • The ground sections absolutely feel tacked on. They were what would end up killing my interest. That, and the F2P model in general makes for a bad experience in my opinion.

  • I’ve tried to get into STO multiple times over the years and I’ve always found it to be frustratingly buggy. It’s not unplayable, but it has enough bugs in it that I get annoyed and stop playing at about the same point each time.

    The ship combat works decently well and is fun, but the ground combat is really rough in my experience.

  • What's the last straw that made you quit commercial social medias (Meta,TwitterX, etc...)?

    Jump

  • I deleted my Facebook account during Covid. I wasn’t really using it anymore, but I really didn’t need to see anyone’s shitty takes on the virus.

    I deleted my Twitter account when it was purchased by a Nazi shithead who has no business being as rich as he is for how dumb he is. I never really latched onto Twitter anyway, so that was no major loss.

    I never used Instagram, but the idea seemed neat when it came out. Over time, it’s become less and less appealing.

    I never had any interest in Snapchat. Still don’t.

    Same for TikTok, but I don’t agree with the idea of the government banning it. The correct response would be to enact robust privacy laws, but that’s never going to happen.

    I do still have a Reddit account, but I’m using it less and less. Pretty much only for some niche hobbies. I’ve never felt like Reddit fit with the other social media platforms.

    I have a Mastodon account, but I don’t really use it. It still has the same problem Twitter did in that I don’t care about what’s going on there all that much. I want to follow topics, not people.

    I did set up a PixelFed account that I use quite a bit, but only for posting pics of my minis and seeing other people’s pics of their minis.

    Lemmy feels a lot like early Reddit, and I’m liking it a lot.
