Opiates or meth depending on whether you want to feel like life is worth living (serene) or life is worth living (manic). Doesn't last long though
Debian has treated me kindly since I installed it a week ago. Only issue I discovered was with a wireless mouse sometimes not working on boot but thats fixed with solaar.
Still miss arch but I don't feel like installing it again lmao
Genuinely wish he hadn't, christ that was hard to watch

Oh?! Those app icons not appearing or working properly every once and a while are a gnome problem? Genuinely just thought I was doing something wrong.
I am not necessarily new to linux as I have distro hopped extensively so I might give KDE plasma a shot as I have heard good things but I am certainly not an expert when It comes to linux. I have only learned enough to keep my games running and my desktop environment clean. Sometimes I will run into an issue I cant fix and just reinstall the OS or try another one lmao.
I've recently grown quite interested in customizing my DE but was struggling to understand how people do it. Not used to messing with config files and I downloaded themes but didn't know how to install them. It often feels like I simply expected to know a lot of linux knowledge so steps often go unexplained and since I learned how to use linux primarly independantly and through necessary maintenance, there's a lot of of stuff I simply never learned because I did not need to.
Also what is the difference between a system tray and a control center?
Just realized I have never seen this movie baked, might have to give that a shot sometime
Thats genuinely tragic, I'm sorry
Lemmy became so much better when I blocked pugjesus and their sockpuppet
Same tbh, the name always gives me a smirk lol
It's liberal for deeply unserious I think
Thank you @satansmaggotycumfart@lemmy.world for making this site a better place o7
You give me bender vibes
I've quite enjoyed gnome so far. What are your complaints with it? Granted I don't think I have actually used another DE but I genuinely don't run into issues with gnome and the design is good enough imo.
What's your preferred DE and why?
Has releasing political prisoners to placate protests gone poorly in the past? /gen
I wasn't answering, should have put a /gen
I must scream
Wonder how haiti came to be run by gangs 🤔/gen
Is that really a 21st century idea? I would have thought that was a reaganomics reform tbh

Obviously a simplification/joke but curious how accurate it is and figured there would atleast be one person here who knows lol

I figure someone here has a special interest in lighters right? There isn't a lighter community on lemmy and I don't want to make a reddit account. Its a butane lighter made by a company called either rider or riders but I cannot find any proof they existed because everytime I look up "rider" and "lighter" I only get motorcycle themed lighters. Time period is likely mid 20th century. Uses an electric coil instead of flint, no battery just converts the mechanical energy of the button press. Made of brass
Edit: in an attempt to fill the lighter I overtighted the valve screw and it is now screwed in too far and cant be removed. I don't think it is on the threads anymore. If anyone has a method to get it back on those threads let me know
It feels like I'm constantly hearing about prostests only after they happen. Is there a way I can leanr about these sooner that doesn't require talking to people irl before I am already involved. Like can I just show up?
I am very neurodivergent to be clear. These things are hard for me.
How do I even get involved locally? I am part of CPUSA but I've never ventered beyond the online space. Is there a way to keep up with whats going on locally without having to meet people irl regularly?
I am worried that I drink too much at once. I don't drink coffee daily but typically when I do drink coffee I will have 4-6 shots of espresso. I am not asking if this is healthy per se, I'm more searching for confirmation that it isn't too uncommon lol.
If anyone does want to let me know how bad for me this is then it should be noted that I also take a medium dose of vyvanse daily 💀
I travelled to dallas to see the solar eclipse monday and noticed something strange that I've not seen anyone talk about. At the bottom right of the eclipse during totality after the diamond ring effect there was a persistant bright white dot that looked almost like it was on the surface of the moon rather than the edge. I'm assuming this was some atmospheric distortion but I really have no idea. Thoughts?
i would really like to use hardware similar to the original devices the games im emulating were played on. like i'd love an open source gameboy that i could load my favorite emulator and games onto. does this sort of thing exist or would i have to build my own
No idea if this is possible but i would like to make it so that i receive posts in as many languages as possible but have them automatically translated in the jerboa app.
Could i write a script (or is one already available) that would do this for me locally? Would it be easier to self host an instance that does this instead? How would i go about that etc etc.
Sorry if this isn't really the place for this sort of question but i wasn't sure what community would be more appropriate.
I really prefer hardcopies but would rather not buy from like fucking amazon yk? Feels hypocritical to buy theory even more so to buy it from some corpo. Are there any leftist co-ops selling books online or should i try to find a small book store near me that might sell what im looking for if im lucky?
Ideally i am looking for something cheap but i have the money to pay a little extra if it means im not giving my money to the bourgeois

It means "abandon all hope ye who enter here" its the inscription dante decided was above the gates of hell and she put right above her ass. 10/10
What do yall think?
I need an alarm app that lets me scan QR codes. I find that it helps me get out of bed and take my meds in a timely manner. I have QRalarm but it's a onetime use alarm and I can't schedule times for certain days which I find to be really important. I normally use alarmy but it requires the Google Play store and I'd prefer to not have that yk.
Anyone know a foss option?
I just read the entirety of shotgun boy, a 68 chapter webtoon in one sitting. It took a solid 6-7 hours with a break or so to eat and talk to my girlfriend. I could not put it away, every moment I could fit in I was reading it. It's 4:30 am, I have class tomorrow. They're just so easy to consume. I didn't even sleep last night, I'm exhausted but I had to finish it. Even now I'm posting this because I'm still thinking about it while I struggle to fall asleep. I want to reread sweet home.
I've had this reoccurring thing every year or so where I remember this book I read in like 5th - 6th grade that was really fucking good every year or so. I need to find it, I try every time but no amount of Googling thin recollections of its plot has got me anywhere.
Need more things like treasure planet. The concept was so cool and I loved the mix of early imperialist fashion and transversal of the "high seas" of space. The solar surfing and solar sails concept was also very very cool. I also really enjoyed the mix of 2d and 3d animation; it made the tech looking really fascinating.
Is there a community for this sort of thing?
I'm pretty left, yada yada whatever, y'all seem to know things I wanna know. Curious where you get your info and such and so on. Idk show me stuff, I wanna depropagandize myself.
So my girlfriend has an Alexa and really likes it but I'm not comfortable living in a house with one. How much technical knowledge would I need to make a speaker that connects to a music player app and is voice activated because that is all she uses it for.
I figure I could hook up a raspberry pi to a speaker and add a mic and voice command software that I find somewhere but I've never actually done anything like this before.
How feasible is this
