I’ve seen a number of people who I know for a fact enjoyed Salad Fingers 20 years ago just unthinkingly dunking on skibidi toilet

I set it once like 6 years ago and forgot it wasn’t something pre-installed and configured until I saw your comment. I was reading through the comments looking for the “you don’t need to do anything, ddclient takes care of it”

I’m a pleb, barely literate in computers, just pretty okay at finding things I need on Google and blindly copying commands. Like I’m obviously extremely tech literate by the standards of the wider world solely by virtue of having a home server that runs things I use, but it’s still using unraid because I’m an idiot who needs a helpful community space and forum so I can search how to fix problems confident that other idiots have also broken the thing the same way I did and I will find step by step directions on how to unfuck it

All that said, when it came time for my roughly annual reinstall of Windows just to clear house, they threw up an ad for Windows 11 and it pissed me off so bad I googled “gaming Linux”, made a bootable USB of Garuda (I like the bird logo and didn’t know what “Arch-based” meant except that it would make me a superior human) and within 15 minutes of getting mad I was installing, and it’s just worked out of the box since

You laugh and you joke but I stumbled into a PS2 original, the fat one, with a network adapter so you can slot a hard drive in. I went into my spare parts and pulled out an old IDE hard drive, as the PS2 was before the spread of SATA (I think even before SATA was announced) and it popped right in and guess who doesn’t have to worry about discs

1 litre jugs of milk are 2 litres where you are? That’s wild

I mean, in the US I’m pretty sure only Navy deals with shotguns, I think to prevent hull penetration? Coasties might for the same reason, but I’ve never hung out with any

According to the USDA, the US cattle industry contributes about 3.7% of US greenhouse gas emissions, and livestock as a whole is around 14.5% globally on a cursory search

The Gmail spam filter filters out emails from Google, half the 2FA authentication emails I get, things I’ve actively subscribed to and hit “not spam” on several times, and does not block “You’ve won a Home Depot gift card!” from [email protected]

Didn’t you know the man on the cross was Jesus’s secret brother who was martyred in His name while Jesus fled to Japan, started a family, and died of old age?

But the top is still moving right

Because, as governor, he pushed for and then signed into law a bill that requires schools to stock menstrual products in all bathrooms used by people who menstruate

There’s no edited tag on the post so I have to wonder how (1889-2024) wasn’t an indicator too lol

Thanks, that was really necessary and greatly added to the conversation.

Without googling anything wasn’t he assassinated by Charles Gateau? Not sure about the spelling but it’s a pretty known event

Edit: I’m back after looking it up and the spelling is Guiteau

I see! Thank you for the explanation, I’m still very new as this is my first Linux and I did no planning or intentional research before swapping over, I just got mad at Windows and was formatting my main dive 15 minutes later. I avoided Mint specifically because I’d seen lemmy threads saying it was using old packages on purpose for stability reasons, and that for actual gaming I’d want rolling release?

I don’t know the difference between Wayland and X11, all I know is that they’re options, and I’m 30 days into the Arch-derived(is that the right term?) Garuda Linux that defaults Wayland with a 3080 and I haven’t had any problems? Aren’t the Mint problems that it’s a stable distro with outdated stuff?

A month ago as of tomorrow I got fed up with Windows and googled “gaming Linux”, picked Garuda because it was near the top result and I like the FFXIV Garuda, was wiping my Windows drive within fifteen minutes of deciding I was done, and have been gaming with my 3080 since. Haven’t touched X11 because Garuda defaults to Wayland and I don’t even know the difference between them, and so far everything has just worked

I’d be really impressed if anyone still gamed on ATI.

I’m not that guy but yes and Nvidia

I was on reddit slightly before subreddits were added as functionality, so 16ish years, and lemmy to me just feels like that 2008ish reddit except most of the userbase is 40 instead of 18

Kei vehicles are exempt from most Japanese safety standards, because they’re meant for city driving with max speeds of 40-60 kph and everyone driving them knows and acknowledges that you’re just fucked if you get into an accident at speeds higher than that (and not doing great even at 40kph). It’s an explicit trade of safety for lower cost
