What are you doing?

Really getting excited for my talk at

I'm having WAY too much fun putting this slide deck together.

I hate to say it, but i'm really not impressed with this Thinkpad X1 Extreme.

Brand new, i have the nvidia GPU disabled, not using bluetooth, not using speakers, just doing light coding, nothing CPU intensive..

And i've been at this coffee shop for 2 hours, and getting this :(

@RL_Dane well that's the wild part. I have my TLP setting scaling the CPU way down. I'm removing TLP and trying it regular power save mode and we'll see

On a scale of 1 to Drupal, how janky is it to create a index on a text field like this?

Using a prefix index, as all I care about is the first 10 characters of the field for lookup purposes

So that's why this laptop was sitting funny and the keyboard was bulging.

Question. How do you properly dispose of these puffy batteries

My dad just sent me this old pic of teenage me rocking that old ass Pentium 1 probably.

That keyboard didn't play, though.

Hey peeps. Question for you. I'm giving a talk at at the end of the month and want to get one of those wireless "next slide" buttons so I can move around while I talk.

Any recommendations? I've never purchased or used one

Every day I tell my family I'm going for a jog, but then I don't go.

It's a running joke.

After getting a flat on my last commute, I decided to upgrade my tires on the ebike.

Does anyone know how to backup my owned DVD's and Bluerays on Linux? ()

Looks like handbrake doesn't do it. So i'm curious what the blessed way to do this is?

I want to just make 800m lower quality versions of these I can watch them on my smart tv in my RV.

@dhry sure. But in a way, it being caught and fixed before it made its way out to stable release distros kinda underscores that the system does work.

Just don't be in bleeding edge rolling

ever since i met @codemonkeymike and @chiefgyk3d i have been slowly inching towards Linux and Android...and the scary thing is, as of today, i'm FULLY on Android now. so... does that mean Linux is next? 👀

@slade @chiefgyk3d yesssss!!! I did Linux first then android. But yes!

Was playing with my newly upgraded chat gpt and making coloring pages for my kids.

Apparently a basic scene you'd see in a Disney movie is too hardcore for .

I understand having some limits, but this seems too far. "Lame" as my kids say (and I agree)

@codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org avatar

Serious question. Are there any users (especially ) who are curious about switching to or trying ?

I've been toying with the idea of making very specific well done training videos to support that.

But not sure anyone cares.

codemonkeymike,
@codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org avatar

@EpiphanicSynchronicity and yes no offense taken! I don't wanna be "that Linux guy" either. And not trying to "save people". But more help people that are curious. It's been great for me, so was wondering if anyone else wanted to.

codemonkeymike,
@codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org avatar

@raptor85 @dhry @EpiphanicSynchronicity yeah. I mean avoiding Nvidia certainly makes things easier. But if you already have the hardware, use it. That's what Linux is, and should be

codemonkeymike,
@codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org avatar

@dhry @raptor85 @EpiphanicSynchronicity there is some legitimately there. Intel and AMD graphics are build into the kernel. So it "just works". It's nice. But Nvidia has been a pill about open sourcing the driver, which means it can't be baked into the kernel.

Distros like @pop_os_official have gone so far as to have a special Nvidia version of the os that has the driver built in.

So I understand avoiding Nvidia if you can. But it totally works if you install the driver. Just a pain.
