Except Finland is a country and Texas is just one state in a country. That’s where the confusion usually results.

Yea, the creation of sites like neocities is such a fun return to oldweb and the joys of relearning html and creating a static site. And tools like Jekyll for generating and maintaining your own blog are great

Ticktok ,

Dave’s youtube channel is great for these stories from back in the day. Link for the lazy: www.youtube.com/

tastes like ear wax.

The fact that he was a major plot point for the RedShirts book is one of my favorite things about that book. (Or rather, his “legally different because of copyright” Irish equivalent)

Ticktok ,

automatic response, same as when someone says “how’s it going” to a cashier, and the person responds “good”. this interaction rarely means anything other than formality. The person asking doesn’t usually want to know, and the person responding doesn’t usually want to tell

Ticktok ,

listen, i can get a burger for free out of dumpster, but I’d rather pay for one from the menu.

I chose engineering, and when I started I loved it, but eventually I ended up working in places I didn’t like, on jobs that made me feel dirty, but now I don’t know any other way to maintain the lifestyle I’m accustomed to.

Do you still write notes with pen and paper?

With so much note taking apps nowadays, I can’t understand why does anyone still write notes with pen and paper. You need to bring the notepad, book or that paper to retrieve that information, and most of the time you don’t have it in hand. While my phone almost always reachable and you carry when you go out. For those still...

Ticktok , (edited )

I do both. I use Obsidian to maintain lots of notes and links and such. But I also carry a fountain pen and a notebook in my pocket. I find when I write stuff down in there I tend to remember it more. I also carry an A5 notebook at work to take down work notes and track my todo’s. More productive, looks better in meetings, and I’m less likely to get distracted by notifications or the draw of apps/social-media.

Lots of times I’ll do a drawing of dimensions or an idea, then I’ll take a picture of that and throw it in Obsidian later. Also if it’s a note that I want to keep later I’ll transcribe it into my digital notes.

I just enjoy the act of writing and getting to own a pen that I won’t just lose or loan away. I’ll also pick up old notebooks sometimes and be reminded of things I wanted to do or ideas I had that got missed, and the reminder is way more tangible and impacting that being reminded by found digital notes. It comes with the tactile memories as well.

You new castlevania game was Bloodstained:Ritual of the Night, and it’s amazing!

Ticktok ,

yea, I did the same thing. Switch version is garbage. PC version is fantastic, and it runs great on the steam deck.

Ticktok ,

yea, I love the hidden 8 bit levels and getting the pixelated items and such.

    Also Bomb Rush Cyberfunk just came out and it’s an amazing homage to JSR. Highly recommend. store.steampowered.com/…/Bomb_Rush_Cyberfunk/

    "You should migrate to Linux"

    Dual-booting Windows 11 and Fedora 38. Gaming on Win 11 is, as expected, most times great. I want to migrate to Fedora and use it as a daily driver, and while it does a damn good job at doing just that, it’s disturbingly aweful at gaming. I’ve installed Steam and I set out to try a couple of games to see what it would...

    Ticktok ,

    They FINALLY added a tab at the top to select between All, Steam Deck, or Linux. I just noticed yesterday.

    Ticktok ,

    You will get there(although I haven’t heard great things about Fedora gaming). I made the switch November 2021 and I haven’t booted back into windows in about 9 months. I ended up picked EndeavourOS cause I wanted something Arch based to be as close to Steam Deck packages as possible(and I already prefer KDE Plasma, so picked that as well).

    I still have my hiccups. I still can’t get SteamVR to work at all. I spent about 45 minutes yesterday troubleshooting why Outward stopped working, when all the protondb reviews say “it just works”. I did eventually get it working from a random suggestion from the arch forums to add PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 %command% to the steam launch commands and that fixed it. If I had to guess I think it’s something to do with my 1070Ti not playing nicely with the latest nvidia drivers. Also Epic made some sort of stupid update to FallGuys and I can no longer get it working for more one initial run per install. So that’s frustrating.

    But I also love how much I know my system now. I love being able to update everything from one or two commands. I love pipewire for doing music recording stuff.(I fought for years on windows to try and cobble together something similar). I love having bash macros to easily download embedded videos and do quick ffmpeg conversions. Really, it definitely comes down to how I feel much more connected to this system than I ever did to a windows install.

    Ticktok ,

    yea, they usually have a rectifier in it. All that is usually is a configuration of four diodes(a component that only lets current flow one direction) so it can take the alternating current(AC) and convert it to direct current(DC) and then a large capacitor to stabilize the rectified voltage.

    Ticktok ,

    Just ordered an aero press today. Work coffee has gotten progressively worse, and the carafes are never cleaned. Looking forward to being able to drink coffee at work again.

    Ticktok ,

    Well I’m installing this as soon as I get home.

    Ticktok ,

    One that I didn’t see on here that I’ve added to my list

    • tldr
      • simplified man pages with common example commands.-

    If on desktop

    • distro-box
    • yakuake
    Ticktok ,

    I personally finally made the fulltime switch in November 2021 after years of on again off again attempts. The one I was finally able to stick with was Endeavour OS with KDE desktop. It’s basically just an arch distro with a good installer and som QoL apps. Easy to maintain and a good community if you need assistance.

    And with the creation of Bottles running windows software has been surprisingly easy. I do some home studio recording and just got EZdrummer setup as a vst in Ardour, and it just works.

    The dominance of cat content VS dog content on Lemmy reflects its current techie userbase

    I originally joined Reddit in 2011, and in the beginning it was dominated by cat content. It was rare to see a post about dogs. Sometime in the mid 20-teens this phenomenon reversed. It’s always been a “pet theory” of mine that this reversal was due to Reddit becoming mainstream, and that it’s initial nerdy/techie user...

    Ticktok ,

    Dogs are for people that don’t feel content unless something desperately needs their attention or it will die. Codependent narcissists.

    I like dogs like I like kids. They can be fun for a short bit, I like to be able to give them back when they get to needy and/or shit themselves.

    Ticktok ,

    Buy a laser printer. They’ve come down in price a ton and are so so so so so so so so so so much better than fucking ink jet printers. I’ll never go back, and regret the years of anger and stress they caused me.

    Brother printers are the best as well.

    I got a Brother HL-3140CW and couldn’t be happier. Also just works with Linux.
