This is how it is done:

PHP forever. 🤲 Amen.

Start to get comfortable with the uncomfortable by ordering something you never had in a restaurant you've never been to. Or invite people you don't know well. Or start a conversation with a stranger.

Or do anything else that isn't comfortable by your standards.

Welcome outside your comfort zone.

I always feel sorry for this T-Rex. Haven't seen a bad joke from it yet. 😄

He's posting on Bluesky as well now? Good to know.

I am doing that for friends and family. For now Windows is the default in Grub. Most are trying out Linux and like it.

I find your lack of faith disturbing. You can install Windows 11 anyways.

Be careful not to choke on your aspirations.

How to (actually) choose a Linux distro in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] original_reader@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

I'm good. But thank you for the tip.

Just posted the video, because I like that she's quite balanced in her views. The subject matter will always trigger a level of controversy, esp. on lemmy. But the advice is pretty solid.

And if Mint isn't the answer, go with Ubuntu. Or Zorin OS. Or PopOS. All of them are "right" and provide excellent beginner experiences for many people.

I just enjoyed the presentation and the amount of work that went into it. 🙂

Where's your towel? in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

I want one!

It will come in handy when meeting the Bugblatter Beast, because it is so dumb it thinks you can't see it if you cover your face with a towel.

True. That makes things even worse!

Story-Driven Games (lemm.ee)
 

Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for some incredible story-driven games—ones that pull us into their world with gripping narratives, deep characters, and immersive gameplay. Some examples of what I'm looking for include the Homeworld series, the Horizon series, The Last of Us, some Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider games, etc. So I'm not too picky about the genre.

If you've played any unforgettable games with amazing storytelling, do tell! What games had you hooked from start to finish?

Difference to Airoponics (lemm.ee)
 

Hello. I am new to this community. I have been reading much about Airoponics and would like to get started. Can't find a specific community, though. Can I generally use the advice here for an Auroponics setup as well?

Thank you for your thoughts.

Reliable Screenshot Tool with Annotations (lemm.ee)

Am on the hunt for an offline screenshot tool with annotation capabilities because my usual options are failing me. Am on Tumbleweed with Gnome. Here’s what I’ve tried so far, and the issues I’ve run into:

  • Flameshot: Used to be my go-to, but sadly, it’s not working anymore.
  • Spectacle: Doesn’t launch at all.
  • Ksnip: Gives me a black screen while taking a screenshot.
  • Pensela (AppImage): Crashes on launch.
  • Shots: Refuses to launch.
  • Bonus: Annotely is web-based and works ✅

At this point, I’m out of breath trying to find something functional. I need something that allows for quick annotations (arrows, text, highlights, etc.) and is lightweight and reliable (Arrows with GIMP... 😮‍💨).

Anyone got recommendations or solutions?

Edit: using Wayland

Should I get started with the Classic or the Steam version? What are the pros and cons of both versions?

What could be done to make PeerTube more popular? (joinpeertube.org)

PeerTube is fantastic with its decentralized model that prioritizes user privacy and control. However, it still struggles to gain widespread popularity.

What do you think could be done to enhance PeerTube's appeal and functionality, possibly even becoming a serious alternative to YouTube?

Can I2P be installed on OpenSuse Tumbleweed? (lemm.ee)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by original_reader@lemm.ee to c/i2p@lemmy.world

On Windows, installing I2P is easy.

On Linux... not so much. That's because Linux isn't Linux. There's a Debian package, but OpenSuse is its own thing. Is there a way to get I2P, Snark, etc. up and running there without having to jump through too many hoops?

A sad fact. I didn't realize it is this bad. Currently it is mostly escalation after escalation. What way out is there?
