and/or get another drive and install onto that. swap back if you hate it

make a bootable linux image on a USB. boot off it to gain confidence

not that I know of, nope.

my gf buys several sizes at once and ships back the rejects. with some online shoe stores the return shipping is free.

Just ordered some digital photo frames for xmas gifts, and neither one of them work. One is apparently an opened box return. Trashy!

yeah i put up some videos of me playing guitar… kodcast.com

original Star Wars. saw the ad on TV, the line to get in was down the block. crowd reaction when the death star exploded was awesome. I was 8 or 9 years old.

blues brothers was my first R rated movie. outstanding film!

Snagged a thinkpad today for just over 100$. Guy mentioned it was because of windows 11. Its hippie christmas for linux!

The consensus seems to be that implementation inheritance leads to code that is difficult to understand and difficult to reuse. Its perhaps the main reason C++ is banned from the kernel.

I use Jerboa, is fine. Haven’t tried anything else so don’t know what I might be missing.

people performatively declaring they are going to Linux doesn’t bother me at all. its good press, builds its reputation. people try new things for deep reasons sometimes, but also for casual curiosity and fashion following, and that’s ok.

With a machine like that, you’re firmly in the mainstream of linux. Almost any distro will run well on it, so selection is a matter of taste.

Debian is a solid, conservative option, though they have a reputation of lagging behind other distros in terms of software versions. I do like arch, their wiki is first rate. It has the reputation of being finicky but I’ve always found it pretty straightforward. Great for the extensive docs and not trying to insulate you from the system.

I personally would avoid ubuntu these days, they seem to be leaning into the Ubuntu Way for things like installing software. A bit lock-in ish for me.

FWIW I’m running nixos on my thinkpads, works great. Nixos is not to be undertaken lightly, there’s a lot to learn and docs are meh. Stability is second to none, and the declarative configuration management makes it great for easing into devops.

to me the main difference was having to use a different package manager. so no biggie really. and arch has an awesome wiki. the documentation made things too easy so now I use nixos BTW

Dad are you making memes again?

for xmonad commands. also windows-p is dmenu.

LF?

sounds like a better solution is don’t use docusign

Age 57 here. We kind of blobbed up a bit during the pandemic. About a 18 months ago we started walking every day at lunch, about 2.5 miles. Not huge distance but just being consistent with it I think has helped us a lot. We did a few hikes this year that I don’t think we could have done (or not without more injury risk) without the consistent walking.

For me tendonitis has been a thing. Got my first case of it in my late 20s and have had several bouts of it since - achilles, hip flexors, wrist, etc. Learning to recognize that as a problem and what to do to recover is important, as repetitive stress injuries can keep you from doing a lot of things.

maybe could filter the comments based on tag as well.

What I think would be interesting would be to have communities be tags rather than exclusive categories. So if you make a post, you can add more than one tag to it, provided you are a ‘member’ of those tags.

Tags would have moderators much like communities have moderators now, to preserve the meaning of the tag. So you could have a tag like ‘billionaire media’, and members could slap that tag on all nyt, wapo, etc articles. Moderators would boot members who misapplied the tag.

Then what would be interesting would be to use the tags for searches, like ‘news’ minus ‘billiionaire media’.

Pretty significant changes from what lemmy is today, so would be either a fork of lemmy or a from scratch new program.
