• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Haven’t you heard? Pearson’s requires at least Linux 2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a child of the 90s we grew up with PC Political Correctness. Is that WOKE but just in a different form?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re related but not the same. Political correctness is about taking steps not to offend anyone. Wokeism is more about acknowledging societal issues and lack of inclusivity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Short answer: 1000 came before 500.

  Correct answer: An Amiga (don’t recall the name) was released at some point, and Amiga decided to make a cheaper alternative. This cheaper alternative was the 500, and the older model was retroactively renamed 1000.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem like everyone is so good looking and beautiful nowadays?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this the opposite of “come at me bro” ?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux help and actual pros and cons⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I generally recommend linux mint for beginners, mostly because it’s pretty great at working out of the box, and it pretty general purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do some communities get like 50 members minutes after its creation?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, pretty much. I’ll lazypaste the response an instance admin made after I asked a similar question recently:

  Probably the community follower bot which several instances subscribe to. It’s a way of automating new communities discovery

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ksp2 was severely botched by Take2… but if you’re into the genre you might want to check out Juno. In addition you might want to keep an eye out for KSA currently in early stages of development.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do office workers actually do?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Mysterious and important, I assume?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I cannot hook an ethernet cable to a router because the router is using all the plugs. What is a backup to make a Lemmy instance with Yunohost? If there’s no other way, what else can I use?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I recommend looking at businesses that are closing moving or upgrading. I have a literal stack of old switches retired from work. 48 ports, gigabit, and free.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Given how paintball guns work, could you swap paintballs for a waterballs?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Freeze some water into suitably sized balls. I guess that technically fits the design spec.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the best options for computers that explicitly support linux operating systems?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bought a brand new Lenovo Legion last fall. First thing I did was to nuke the harddrive and install linux Mint. Everything worked out of the box.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there still an effort to move technical help threads from Redshit to here?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Go away, spez

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pens in Space⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Apollo 1 resulted in a lot of improvements regarding fire safety.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use your blinker in a car?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t drive a BMW, so yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do European Leftist call their government's right wing despite having free healthcare?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Left vs Right depends entirely on where the centre lies. Even our (norway) most right-leaning loon party is for public health care.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the USA and China goes to war, how likely will Chinese-Americans end up in "internment camps" like what happened to Japanese-Americans during WW2?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically true, though. The connotation paints a wildly incorrect picture, but Japan does consist of islands in the pacific…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LC vibe check⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gold connectors are a waste of money. Regular N or PL259 are fine, just cover them with some acid free dielectric grease.

  Source: The amount of ships antennae I’ve installed with cable termination is in the hundreds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LC vibe check⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No need for ex0ensive coax. Rg214 is great and reasonably priced. As for the antenna, if you have a balance, trash will do just fine - just make sure it’s the correct amount/length of trash for the frequency you’re working with.

  Source: I used the gutters on my previous house to listen in on maritime HF DSC transmissions from around the world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much are additional lemmy instances needed/wanted beyond what we have at present?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you mean communities? I’m a certified technocrat myself, so I’m all in favor of more knowledgefight, but my question is more about instances/servers. Decentralization is always good, but I was just wondering if Lemmy is already centralized “enough” based on its current usage stats.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much are additional lemmy instances needed/wanted beyond what we have at present?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. European, to be specific.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much are additional lemmy instances needed/wanted beyond what we have at present?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting point. I’ll take .onion into consideration.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much are additional lemmy instances needed/wanted beyond what we have at present?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know. I’m seriously considering making it invite-only, or adk nicely via Matrix. No e-mail needed, but joining won’t be easy either.

  And with two rules:

  • Don’t behave in a way that results in a ban.
  • Common sense applies.
• How much are additional lemmy instances needed/wanted beyond what we have at present?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What movies have you watched this week?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My kids were chatting about the minecraft movie this morning. How is it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What efforts would it take to strip the name Americans from the folks inhabiting the US?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to work with a Canadian (From Vancouver, iirc) who used to emphasize “North American” when people made the wrong assumption. I guess it makes sense once the focus is on region/continent instead of country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should visitors to a country (tourist / visa-holders / people staying temporarily) have the right to criticize the government? When should an immigrant have the right to criticize the government?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Provides it’s legal, yes. I’ve trashtalkes trump while visiting the US, no problem there. But I keep my mouth shut when visiting Saudi Arabia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does it make sense to persue higher education after 40 years ood?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wrong thought process: You’re gonna be around 50 by the time you graduate.

  Right thought process: You will be 50 one day no matter what you do. You might as well aim for being 50 with a degree.

  Bedrocky Horror*

  Truck Scientist!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wut? BG3 runs flawlessly out of the box for me. Pretty vanilla Mint install, Nvidia 4060.
