The fuk? Please help me complete this insane captcha (lemmy.world)

Fridge fridge hamburger truck truck… ??? What’s the blue thing? I thought hamburger would be the answer, but it isn’t? I just get the same captcha with the hamburger in a different place. WTAF is happening? And what’s the blue thing? I answer and it refreshes with the same icons in different places. I AM HUMAN!

Yeah it’s lip service, but it’s lip service they pay due to feeling like we are a marketable demographic.

They feel that advertising to us as a group and making the haters mad is more profitable than the alternative.

How easy is it to switch back to windows?

I’m considering switching to linux but I’m not a computer savvy person, so I wanted to have the option to switch back to windows if unforeseen complications (I only have 1 pc). Is it just a download on usb and install? And what ways can I get the product key or “cleaner” debloated versions.

Edit: It works with Office too

The devs mention that as the recommended method on their GitHub (which I also recommend as it’s way easier)

Looking at their current 10 day forecast doesn’t look very pleasant either

The coldest 2 days are going to be 42C (about 107F) with lows close to 30C (about 86F)

When I looked (about 10am for them) it was about 37C (about 100F) with a 31% humidity.

It’s a fuckin disaster over there with multiple days predicting 45C as the high.

Have you ever bough an external hardrive only to take the disk out of it?

Hiya, so am looking to buy more storage and while browsing am seeing some external harddisks, such as Western Digital My Book and Seagate Expansion Desktop for cheaper than the internal harddisks themselves. Have seen this one video from KTZ Systems where he bought up multiple of these external ones just to open them up and use...

I’ve shucked a few drives in the past but when there was a big sale on hard drives awhile back I finished decking my NAS out with 8TB drives that weren’t shucked as they came out to be cheaper than the ones in enclosures at the time.

The main downside is warranty really and some of the drives from enclosures need to have the power blocked on one of the pins to work (can’t remember which sorry) due to the type of drive they are.

Folders and files sorted skipping preceding underscores?

I’m in the process of switching my machines to Linux Mint from Windows and on my network drive I have a bunch of folders that are sorted with the help of preceding underscores (like this “__folder1” “___folder2”)) so that folders appear in a specific order....

Gormadt OP ,
@Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

In the file browser and also in programs that access the network drive.

NGL I’d try to avoid terminal if at all possible

The default file manager on Mint in Nemo

But I’ll do some more trawling in the settings and look into a new file manager if I can’t find a setting for it

Gormadt OP ,
@Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

It’s kinda worked

Now the underscores appear between uppercase names and lowercase names

So it’s a step in the right direction for me for sure now that they’re at least bunched together

Gormadt OP ,
@Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Honestly I think I’m just going to have to go through and rename the folders as faffing about with locales isn’t my idea of fun lol

I was going to install Dolphin file manager (which has a sort option that does it the way Windows does) until I saw a known bug of “sometimes crashes without error and just loses the files you were moving” which is an absolute deal breaker for me. I do photography as one of my hobbies and I’d lose my shit if I lost the pictures I took in the process of making backups.

Gormadt OP ,
@Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Plus I wouldn’t have to worry about the issue again on other distros

It’s just going to really really suck renaming all those folders

Gormadt OP ,
@Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

There’s definitely more than that lol

Any tips on where to start in that regard?

I heard that Nemo (the default file manager for Linux Mint) has bulk rename abilities baked in but that’s all I’ve heard about that

Building a brand new machine and leaving Windows for good

I’m sick of Windows, and especially what it’s become, and the way its trending looks like it will only get worse. I’ll be building a brand new PC this summer and want to choose a Linux Distro instead. In preparation, I’d like to try out a virtual machine with a Linux distribution. I am solidly familiar with Ubuntu, but I...

I hear Bazzite is good for gaming but I haven’t personally used it.

I use Linux Mint on my machines (except my NAS which has TrueNAS going on it) and I’ve got no complaints so far other than my vertical monitor being a little tough to have a vertical login screen (though that’s so niche it’s barely even worth bringing up) and I’m not even sure that’s an issue on other distros (I don’t distro hop)

My experience with Manjaro is from a decade ago (oh God I’m old) so it really doesn’t apply to anything modern but I have heard it recommended at least a few times and a friend of mine swears by it for everything (he always reminds me it’s based on Arch BTW)

My other friend who uses Linux swears by Pop!_OS and he loves it. I personally don’t really dig the default look of it.

All three of us primarily play indie titles if that makes any difference for you.

Personally I’m moving away from Windows this year (ideally before the end of June) so I’m curious what distros others here recommend as well

As a bonus it also talks about how using Rufus you can remove the requirements by default when you create the install stick.

Seriously though keep your distance from critters, if you don’t it’s a fast way to turn an awesome day out into thousands (if not 10s of thousands) of dollars in emergency medical bills.

As someone who also struggled with alcoholism, I wish I quit way sooner than I did.

This September will mark 6 years sober.

It’s the longest I’ve ever been sober in my entire life.

I’ve lost quite a few people to various addictions over the years. Only 1 to drinking.

Storytime if you're curiousThat one still haunts me oftentimes (though not as much as it used to) about a decade later. They were my long-term boyfriend at the time and after our mutual long-term girlfriend passed away suddenly we both fell off the wagon hard. I made it out the other side of the path of self destruction, they didn’t. And when they passed I fell even harder into alcoholism. My wakeup call was when my doctor asked how many drinks I had per week and when I told him he had me go through the math right there for how I calculated it. It was over 300. I was there because of some health issues that turned out to be liver problems. I got sober a few months later.

Sobriety can be a real bitch to maintain at first but it gets easier the longer you’re sober. Especially if you utilize the new found clarity of mind to address the causes of your addiction.

I’ll never drink again.

The amount of times I see, “Have you tried just googling it?” As a response to a tech issue is too damn high.

The best part is seeing those answers in threads that I got to by googling my question.

“Thank you for your helpful advise of ‘just Google it’ I’ve now found dozens of threads with that exact same answer to the question I have.”

So much this

It’s infuriating trying to find solutions to issues with Autodesk.

But you did forget a classic one: “Hello I’m X from Autodesk support, you should open a support ticket so we can discuss this issue in a more one on one manner.” And then the thread is closed without a solution.

Dethrone? Probably not.

Start taking up a noticeable share of the demographic of systems? Probably

Before this year is out I’m switching my systems to Linux and before Windows 10 EoL I’m having to switch some relatives to Linux because their systems can’t handle Windows 11 and I’m not going to buy them new systems.
