Getting out and actually doing something useful and productive can help you view the world in a different way. Be a part of the things that are good about the world.
Son joined the high school team last year, so I started with him at the same time. I’ve been learning a lot. His coach is quite chill, and we play sometimes during the matches....
That’s the son, and thanks! He’s got a mean slice, but he knows how to play it. He’s got a strong swing (everyone comments), but I know he’ll get to the next level with one on one coaching, so that’s the goal for summer.
I’m worried for the world. All I’ve been thinking about is WW3 and this shit makes me want to vomit. I can’t even smoke weed anymore without having a near panic attack. I feel unmotivated. I wake up and immediately just want to go back to bed. I’m not trying to spread fear but the Doomsday clock is 90 seconds till...
My PC is running Ubuntu 22.04, with KDE Plasma 5.24. When I select Sleep from the Application Launcher, it always starts t go to sleep, but then it seems like a 50-50 chance that it will stay asleep. Many times, it wakes right back up again within 10 seconds. If I try to make it sleep two or more times, sometimes it will...

Are there good Microsoft word alternatives that support Linux (I don’t mind closed source)? Libreoffice is meh and only office is quite good, but are there any better ones? Also, is there a way to install word on Linux using wine? When I do that my laptop just overheats and loses internet connection.
I have a few family members that I help support. For instance, I installed Linux Mint on my grandmother’s PC. She doesn’t know any different and my young cousin doesn’t understand it so he finally stopped giving it viruses. I used to use TeamViewer to take over her PC when she needed support but I got my account banned...
Server is a VPS running several other services and it doesn’t load them much at all. I think the server provides the handshake, and the rest is done on the two clients.
I believe you can set it up to auto accept. I’m pretty sure I did that as it was my intention to use it to bring my desktop to my android tablet (which also works well btw).
Hi, bth I never played fortnite, but I tried PUBG Mobile and COD Mobile and I honestly enjoyed the Battle Royale gameplay, and I think I’m kinda good at it given the number of times I’ve won, but I got tired of those games needing to download a shit ton of content and trying to make me pay for shit, so I haven’t played in...

Micro***t Word on Linux and alternatives
Are there good Microsoft word alternatives that support Linux (I don’t mind closed source)? Libreoffice is meh and only office is quite good, but are there any better ones? Also, is there a way to install word on Linux using wine? When I do that my laptop just overheats and loses internet connection.
