Every day, make one thing better.

I’m a card-carrying member, lifetime, of MMGFN, but they are Making More Godzilla Films Now, so…

What loopy’s saying. I find it easier to be like “Disk A: Linux, Disk B: Windows” and use separate EFI partitions, so I generally do that on computers where I can stuff two separate disks, but I have machines with only one hard drive, and then I just go “First half of disk: Windows, second half: Linux.” I agree that install Windows then Linux is the way to go. True story: quadruple booted an old MacBook Pro: supported Mac OS, OCLP Mac OS, Windows 11, Ubuntu. Did it for a friend, spent forever getting it all to work, then he set it down in a coffee shop and walked away. Never saw it again.

This is how I explained Matrix to my mom: its like an email address, but for chat. You can chat at me, even if we aren’t using the same server, like someone can send an email from Gmail to Hotmail. She got set up and promptly went back to texting me every dang time.

I’m following this. I also can’t. It’s not the pain, as soon as I see the needle, stars, woozy, out cold. Hell, even if someone else is doing it and I know it’s happening…

The big one is no Snaps. You can get them, but I prefer flatpaks which I use on LMDE.

I’ve been enjoying LMDE. Mint without Ubuntu.

Didn’t I see something about someone bringing it back? They should call it Miley CyrOS.

I have been on Fedora since 33 or 34, and quite like it. I will say that I have had upgrade woes twice though. I set up Nextcloud on Ubuntu using snaps about 10 years ago, and it’s still kicking, although it goes down every time it decides it’s going to update itself. Win 11 at work: Randomly, half our fleet stopped loading Teams chats last week, and six machines lost their UEFI boot entries today. Big fan.

I did a tailscale to a VPS for a while, but then the VPS host got bought by Microslop…

When I was 10, I did this. Except, I used a lot of electrical tape to take a step ladder to the tubes of the forklift, then climbed the ladder to change the bulbs. It’s okay, my dad was driving the forklift, and I climbed down to the bottom run of the ladder everytime he moved it.

I was thinking of posting something about all the tracking and control in… Linux, but then decided why bother?

I spent two years with inexplicable migraines. LCDs literally hurt. As such, I have an extensive collection of e-ink devices! Seriously, for a sad few, a typical display might as well be like hammering your skull every time you look at it. Hell, I even used the Windows Remote Desktop app on my Inknote just to do basic computing. (I got better.)

I set up the system to allow elevator music in the waiting room at a clinic, and gave it to the receptionist with instructions on how to use it… That clinic gets very Honky-Tonk. All the time.

I put up my own Matrix server! It’s great! I can use it to talk to myself, but with extra steps!

My advice: (not to OP.) Block this guy. I don’t think he understands that he’s not on Reddit and karma doesn’t matter. He’s trolling and wasting your time. He asked, people answered, and now he’s just arguing. Troll behavior. I’m blocking him, and my Lemmy experience will be better for it.

I worked at a high security facility where the cameras could be moved by the guards. I always waved, and every now and then, the camera would “nod” back. Super cute!

I just got my first chainsaw! I wish my dad were here to see it. Also, I just got stitches for the first time! Amazingly, those are unrelated!

I find that straight Debian takes a bit more work to get to daily driver territory than some other distros, but I do like the balance of Linux Mint Debian Edition. Plus, I had a weirdo problem with LMDE once, and Clem actually responded himself with a fix, so thumbs up there!
