Mine was our CRT TV. I would rapidly push the power button on and off because I thought the picture coming and going looked cool but eventually it fell inside of the TV. I think I later stuck a magnet on the TV....
I pushed the largest TV off a window ledge at an electricals store because I wanted to watch the TV, so I put myself between the TV and the window. Obviously I’d never lifted a TV before and had no idea about their centre of balance. Because it wasn’t tied down properly the store was reprimanded and my poor mother didn’t have to fork out. I think I was around 4 or 5
Exactly. I have no problem with people trying to make money from software, but FOSS tools should be supported over proprietary ones wherever possible, and it’s nobodies fault that FOSS is often the better technical choice anyway. As someone with ADHD: fuck all ads, I demand a peaceful mind.
I am about to go to college for engineering and they require a Windows laptop because of the software we will be using (mostly solidworks I’m pretty sure) doesn’t work on other operating systems. I primarily use windows day-to-day for gaming and such anyways so it’s not a problem for me but I’m wondering if anyone had...
It’s a shame to hear that all the advances in proton & video game performance haven’t translated into CAD tools? I was hopeful this thread would have good news on that front!
I’m about 20 hours or so into my nix journey, with a similar background to OP. I’ve so-far moved to flakes, implemented a basic config for Darwin based on github.com/MatthiasBenaets/nixos-config
I’ve built a pkg override for emacs-overlay but I haven’t managed to keep it in scope since moving to flakes. I’m sure I’ll figure it out.
For a specific project, I’ve implemented a new flake which uses github.com/nix-community/nix-direnv to set it up automatically when I cd into the project. Then (I’m especially happy about this), I’ve managed to get rootless podman working nicely in this setup, hopefully producing a low-maintenance yet cross compatible dev environment for Mac and Linux.
I love the fact that I can add all my homebrew taps, casks and brews into nix right away so that I can replace them one by one.
The beauty of all of this is you can use as much or as little nix as I like. For my server, I plan on running k3d first, then moving configuration piece by piece into nix as I learn & grow.
When do the UN start calling out states for eco-terrorism when they delay and build obstacles? I think all the countries who have reneged on their Cop 26 commitments should be tried for terrorism and fraud, with proceeds going to countries most affected by this earth-viability crisis.
What's the most expensive thing you broke as a kid and what's the story behind it?

I found this guide for downloading Wii U games, but it relies on a Windows-only tool. Is there a Linux alternative?

Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P...
