Can confirm. Especially wet snow/sleet can make bicycling completely impossible. A few centimeters is only a minor annoyance, but 10 cm is a serious problem. Fortunately, it doesn’t last long where I live, since the streets get cleared fairly quickly. During one of those mornings you better take a bus/train/subway instead. It also really depends on how well your town takes care of the streets and what public transport options are available.
I would also like to add motivation to the list. If you’re not particularly hyped about any game, playing games isn’t going to feel engaging. Once you do find a game you enjoy, you won’t have much time for doomscrolling any more.
I’ve never had gentoo before, but what I’ve heard from other people might explain that part of your journey. You went from unstable to stable to Arch, which says something.
I don’t even remember all of them, let alone the correct sequence. I’ve also had multiple computers at one time (still do), and usually they have different distributions (still true).
First experiment: Mandrake
First serious use: Ubuntu edgy eft or something
Spiraling out of control: kubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu, debian, kaos, mint, easypeasy, fedora, korora, rox, manjaro, openmediavault, rockstor, + many niche distributions
Current: arch and debian
Before you ask, no, I’m not a diagnosed psychopath.
That would be an interesting feature. If an app like that exists, I should try that feature.
However, since I interact with hundreds, if not thousands of people online, it is fairly unlikely that I would bump into the same person again any time soon. That’s why I generally don’t even bother looking at the usernames. Mastodon is centered around individuals who may or may not have anything interesting to say, whereas Lemmy is centered around interesting topics.
Initially, I installed all of the apps and started using them. When I noticed that one app was annoying me in some way, I added that line into a spreadsheet, and tested if all the other apps were any better in that regard. After a while, my list had about 20 important features and ratings for each app. After that evaluation period, I settled on Bean, Mlem and Voyager. For several months, I was quite happy with Bean. Every now and then I stumbled upon a situation that Mlem handled better, so I kept switching between the two when needed. I didn’t use Voyager that much, but I kept it anyway, because it had a lot of the features I appreciate.
One day, the suspicions of many Bean users were confirmed, and the app officially died. I just switched to Mlem and Voyager. At that point I also installed Thunder, because it had a fairly good score in my spreadsheet. Currently, I’m keeping it as a backup just in case Mlem or Voyager fail me.
At the moment, Mlem is my favorite Lemmy app for reading, voting and writing short comments. Voyager on iPad can handle long comments much better, and that’s the app I’m using at the moment. Maybe I’ll just use Voyager on the tablet and Mlem on the phone…
Voyager was previously called wefwef, and at the time it already had the wefwef.app which you could use as a web app. When Lemmy became more popular, there were hardly any apps available at the app store, so I used that web app instead. It was pretty good, but later I switched to a proper app when those became available. Anyway, it’s all open source, so have a look at the github page to see if it looks hard or easy to you.
If you filter the water through some sand, soil etc, it’s clean enough for many uses. There are systems that treat toilet water this way and then release the water into the environment. You just need lots of land in order to filter a small volume of water, so this method doesn’t really scale up very well.
Oh, that’s a fun new way to look at it. So, if we say that IRL is less social and boring, wehereas online life is more social and fun, then we could compare that with normal workdays and parties.
You could think of it in terms of time: online is the exception, while IRL is the default state. Then, what would be the most default state in normal life?
I think awake and sleep could form a pair like that. Being awake takes more time than sleeping, so awake would be the default state. You could also think that various other altered states of mind could be the exception instead of being asleep.
Being high as a kite and being sober form a dichotomy similar to that of being online vs. being IRL.
I follow the official upgrade method. Can’t be bothered to mess around with anything more complicated than that. Besides, the devs probably understand the system better than I do, so there has to be a reason why that is the preferred way.
I wish my washing machine had an ethernet port so that I could SSH into it.
Me too. Read the title, looked at the picture and concluded that some people have really fancy washing machines. 😃
KaOS exists too, so it was a matter of time.
It also apples to mushrooms. All mushrooms are edible, some more than once.
That’s why you always have a cleric in your party.
That capslock idea was pretty good. Next time I’ll start with that to see if all hope is lost.
Can confirm. Has worked perfectly so far. 👍
And even if you did manage to do something 2 years ago, you can’t remember how to do it today. Do you really want up go down that same rabbit hole again? Spending 5 minutes reading stuff and running a single command takes a lot more time than 15 mouse clicks.
Also, the number of loanwords in English is completely absurd. Some other languages resisted borrowing/stealing special terminology from other languages by coming to with their own clever new words.
For example, entrepreneur is a clear loan from French where a salesman is a simple and clear description of a man who sells something. If you don’t know French, you’ll have no idea what the word entrepreneur means, but if you know basic English, salesman should be crystal clear to you.
Many other languages developed lots of these types of clear words in order to make communication easier and less elitist. English is completely wild and there’s no central authority that could reasonably give any recommendations that anyone would listen. This sorts of uncontrolled wild growth and stealing has been going on for centuries, and now we’ve ended up with a complete train wreck of a language.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg! Wait until you hear about the history behind how spelling and pronunciation became the disaster we have today.
