  • You need to stop using Brave

    Jump

  • After decades of being a Google fanboy and using nothing but Chrome, my bf proudly told me he'd installed Brave after he got tired of his favorite websites being nothing but ads. I wouldn't use it personally for the reasons you mention, but I think it's a positive step for some people.

  • I just halted a job interview process - due to self respect.

    Jump

  • I see jobs with interview requirements like this occasionally. I don't bother with them. I doubt I even would have spent the time writing an email, except to convey briefly that the web page didn't work.

  • Is this direct action???

    Jump

  • The user name "tapefactoryslave" makes me think they might work in a military tape factory making name tapes, in which case they probably have one near their workplace.

  • Charlie was startled by the camera

  • His moustache.

  • Italians malding over their “traditional” food being done wrong is the funniest shit ever

  • Vinegar tastes so good, though. Especially red wine vinegar. You know how lemonade is better when it's tangy? It's the same thing.

  • Innocent African-American child George Stinney executed after being falsely accused of murdering two white girls | 1944

    Jump

  • Yeah, the idea that people I've never met who did something I don't agree with decades before I was born define me as a person because we're from the same country is...weird.

  • Is anyone planning on forking Plasma to restore X11 support when it is dropped?

    Jump

  • I don't notice any difference in performance between x11 and Wayland, but there are some things I just haven't been able to get working right in Wayland. Changing font DPI. Screenshots, when I want to capture a selected area and not the entire screen. Color pickers. I've tried several that supposedly work with Wayland, but they don't. Screensavers. Alt-tabbing between a fullscreen game and the desktop or another window. I should mess around with it some more. I know my own distro is getting rid of x11 at some point.

  • "dish is much more idiosyncratic then cliTTY"

    Jump

  • Ohhh, that makes sense. I either never thought about that before, or maybe I subconsciously assumed it was a solved problem.

  • Ghost pipe (Monotropa uniflora)

  • Fungi and bacteria that are beneficial to plants are so interesting, too.

  • Americans embrace Aldi as German discounter becomes fastest-growing supermarket in US

    Jump

  • The only difference I can see between Aldi and Save-a-lot, or similar stores, is that Aldis are always in expensive-looking buildings. If anything, I'd expect grocers in cheaper buildings to be able to afford better quality store brands.

  • Should there be something that installs Linux to disk directly from Windows?

    Jump

  • The topic is specifically about installing Linux, so that's what I was considering. If a person just wants to see what it's like, then booting into a live image still seems easier than booting into Windows first and then running Linux in a vm or some other type of software that can run one OS inside another.

  • Sunset Sky Dance

    Jump

  • Those hours when the light looks like this feel magical. I wonder if owls feel something similar.

  • When/how frequently do you replace your phone with a new one?

    Jump

  • As long as the one I have works, I keep using it.

  • Halibut, swordfish, and trout are pretty delicious, too. But, yeah, salmon... 🤤 There's just something about that flavor...

  • Sunset Sky Dance

    Jump

  • I can feel this.

  • Just like real life!

  • FNV has the best mods.

  • In defence of swap: common misconceptions

    Jump

  • I have a swap partition the size of my RAM, but I've never seen the system use more than maybe 4% of it. It's more of an insurance policy than something that's actually used on a regular basis.

  • Should there be something that installs Linux to disk directly from Windows?

    Jump

  • There's nothing easier than booting from a thumb drive and clicking "install", IMO. Having to load Windows first is just adding an extra step.
