Sarcasmo220,

I do agree a lot of stories about “finding yourself” are like that (Eat Pray Love for instance). But to be fair in the Nolan movies he went out into the world with no money. Now, if he somehow formed another billion dollar company then it would have become full on capitalist propaganda, lol.

Sarcasmo220,

Take your time on any curvy roads, and pay attention to the signs that tell you how the road is going to be, such as only one curve or switchback.

I missed a sign that a road was going to be a switchback and I almost didn’t slow down enough to turn the other direction around the second curve.

Any advice for a long-time Linux user, first-time Linux *desktop* user?

I’m a regular user of Linux systems but apart from a couple of test Ubuntu installs many years ago they’ve always been containers or VMs with no DE which I can throw away when I break them. The Steam Deck showcasing how far Wine/Proton has come combined with Windows being Windows has given me the push; I’ve made a Mint...

Sarcasmo220,

For dual booting with windows, I find this guide from System76 to be pretty good. support.system76.com/articles/windows/

Sarcasmo220,

A good way to check out mobile Linux is through postmarketOS. They have a list of older android phones that the OS can be flashed on to and have a near mainline Linux kernel. I would just give the caveat that since it does not run android then you cannot use android apps unless you use something like Waydroid to emulate.

Sarcasmo220,

You can use a VoIP or SIP provider and then to send SMS and MMS messages you can install an app called Chatty: flathub.org/apps/sm.puri.Chatty

Sarcasmo220,

There’s got to be thousands of signs like that around the country. So, housing crisis solved?

Sarcasmo220,

I paid the $200 monthly subscription at lemmyplus(dot)com. When will I be able to see the HD image?

Sarcasmo220,

In all seriousness, are straws even recyclable (in USA)? I thought it fell under “wish-cycling” where people put it in the recycling bin but it is not the type of plastic that can be recycled.

    I have bad handwriting and my friend misread something I wrote and I just added some numbers to it

    Sarcasmo220,

    It’s not “I’m so hungry I can eat a small child.”

    Its "I’m only hungry enough to eat a small child.

    According to the scale on the tool, anyways.

    Sarcasmo220,

    From what I remember you have to set up some DRM stuff to play Blu-Ray in Linux also.

    As a linux user, do you know about/use openwrt?

    I have many nerdy friends who have been Linux users for ages. But most of them don’t know such a thing as Openwrt exists or have never bothered to give it a try. It’s a very fun piece of software to play with and can be extremely useful for routing traffic. Wondering why it isn’t more popular/widely used.

    Sarcasmo220,

    For my ISP it’s actually cheaper to not use their modem+WiFi router as they charge a monthly lease on the equipment. I declined it and they provided me with a modem for free. All I have to do is plug the modem to my own router and that’s it!

    The features you listed seems pretty standard to all routers these days.

    Sarcasmo220,

    Haha, true. I was referring to routers specifically, not the all in one’s.

    Sarcasmo220,

    I definitely do not like Trump, and this comment is by no means me defending him. He has committed crimes and should be prosecuted. However, certain actions by Dems does suggest he was targeted.

    One example is his tax returns. It is a tradition for presidents to voluntarily release them. He chose not to. Then democratic controlled congress fought for several years to have them be released for no real reason except to force him.

    I also think that prosecutors in New York would have ignored his fraudulent business practices, which they likely ignored for several years prior, if he hadn’t become president and was seeking re-election.

    Again, I am not defending him. Lock him up for his crimes. But I also don’t think the democrats motivation is solely coming from the idea of “justice for all.”

    Sarcasmo220,

    Rather than comment on each individual response I figure comment on my own.

    I agree with all the points made here.

    When they couldn’t get Capone for the murders and rackateering they got him for tax evasion because he deserved it. Trump absolutely deserves all these charges and should go to prison.

    I do not believe Trump should get a free pass for his crimes. No one should. I was only suggesting that his crimes may have been ignored until there was a political motivation to look. It shouldn’t have to be that way, but that may have played a role on why they are just now investigating. If they had looked into it earlier it may have disqualified him from running in the first place; which to be clear, is a good thing.

    Notice how I didn’t say the Georgia elections case was unfair. He was recorded trying to commit voter fraud and should be charged. There’s plenty in Jan 6th commission report to charge too and I am frustrated that hasn’t happened either.

    Sarcasmo220,

    And with the countless different distributions, its a polytheistic one.

    Sarcasmo220,

    So in Lemmy and other fediverse services, liberals are typically defined as “left of center.” That’s because a significant portion of fediverse users are progressives (socialists, advocates for social justice within government) to leftists (anarchists, who believe the government shouldn’t exist in the first place, and communists where money shouldn’t exist in the first place).

    Sarcasmo220,

    That’s a nice bike. Ride safe!

    Sarcasmo220,

    I’m not a programmer either, but I am a Linux and open source user so I can at least wade through the waters, lol

    Which privacy services would you donate to?

    Due to financial problems, throughout my privacy journey I have only used free tools to enhance my privacy. I was recently thinking about the question: If I had the money to give back to the services I’ve used, which ones would I donate to? Here is my personal list, which is still a WIP:...

    Sarcasmo220,

    Its cool to see people thinking about how to donate when they can. I think about it as well, and when I have donated I think most if not all fall into your list.

    Sarcasmo220,

    I know Brotherhood tells a better overall story as it aligns more closely with the manga. BUT, the music and pacing of that scene in the original anime production of FMA hits a little harder, in my opinion.

    Sarcasmo220,

    It’s funny how the author is complaining about the incentive for companies to become monopolies under capitalism, and leaves it up to another corporation to lobby for a change. And that voting democrat will help prevent the monopoly too.

    Direct and collective action might be better. Such as gathering the tenants together and everyone agreeing not to pay the internet service provision that was forced on them. That would pressure the landlord to not make a deal like that again.

    Sarcasmo220,

    An immutable distro with a heavily customized KDE desktop is Nitrux. Check it out at nxos.org

    Sarcasmo220,

    I check out books from the library, which of course jas a due date. If I like the book I finish it before it’s due. If I find myself struggling to get into and haven’t finished it by the due date, I just return it and never look back.
