lovely! good luck ^^

distributed evenly between the remaining rooms

so i do torrent stuff when i want to keep it, but the vast majoriy of my media i just stream from whatever shady site i happen to find it on first. it’s too quick and easy.

protip if you ever have trouble finding anything, just use yandex. russia doesn’t give a SHIT about copyright violations or DMCA complaints.

i’m a photoshop simp who straight up couldn’t use GIMP because of the clunky UI, but after switching to linux i’m an avid photogimp advocate.

320gb hdd I had laying around that would otherwise just collect dust due to it’s miniscule size.

i put a 512gb drive in a thinkpad less than a decade ago and thought at the time “boy this might be overkill”

and now i can get 2tb on a fucking microsd for a cheaper data/cost ratio than i did back then, wild.

It’s as complicated as you make it to be, and that’s gonna vary WILDLY per person lmao

scrubbing floors with an RC car still sounds pretty cool

I’ve got the legion y540 with an RTX 2060, apparently they made this same model number with a couple different gpu‘s.

I have no idea if it officially has linux support or not, I just got frustrated when it wouldn’t stop bluescreen’ing with windows 10. Ubuntu worked fine but was finnacky with peripherals, and I couldn’t change the brightness without fixes. Pop!OS has just worked perfectly across the board, straight out of the box.

What’s whacky is I could swear games run better on linux. Not even natively, like WINDOWS games run better through proton than they did when the same system ran windows. I’d bet a lot of it is just overhead from general bloat; windows is expensive to run these days.

If my experience is anything to go by, just start installing whatever OS strikes your fancy and hope for the best. Keep a windows usb handy just in case, but just start fucken around! You could spend a week reading documentation on ONE SINGLE OS, or you could spend just an afternoon trying probably every single OS you could find a modern ISO for. Just make sure you try the popular ones first hahaha

argh that’s literally the ONE that was tempting me, now I guess I GOTTA buy one! this sucks!

(thank you so much i’ve wanted to buy this since it came out)

Goofy like silly, not like unacceptable. Reckon all three of us are happy it’s as high as it is!

I like it! Even if the majority of em completely abandon the accounts afterwards, it’ll increase the visibility of a fledgeling platform AND it’ll show a few folks that alternative social media platforms exist.

I mean, shit, if lemmy can suit my needs there’s no reason it shouldn’t work for at least some of em.

In my head it’s like half a percent, 4.45% seems huge.

ooh! what’s the e-ink notepad, and what’s your usecase like?

it seems so appealing to just have a functionally infinite notebook on hand, but i’ve yet to find one that could ACTUALLY replace a regular physical notebook for me.

I recognize I’m kind of being one of those “it works on my machine!” types, but I’m rolling pop!os on a lenovo built intel/nvidia laptop and have zero issues. Am I just exceptionally lucky?

Been a long day.

I fucken feel you there, here’s hoping tomorrows a better one!

No, it’s this pervasive idea that privacy doesn’t matter what’s got a bee in my bonnet. I would hope someone working cyber security would be especially aware that such a devil may care attitude is a short walk towards a long dystopia.

When the people making the rules are the same people with supreme authority to breech your privacy, what’s to stop them from declaring anything you do as illegal? This idea of “nothing to hide, nothing to fear” is really only beneficial to power-seekers, and you’re just licking their boot by jumping on board.

Hope it tastes cool at least.

photogimp exists and is fantastic

because the future is 3d, that was the windows where all the task bars got that shiny bubble look

i turn em into windows logos. once someone had carved the original lines so piss poor wavy that it ended up looking almost exactly like the windows xp flag thing.
