While it does feel like that from a Windows user’s perspective, you’re comparing running Windows executables on Windows with running Windows executables on Linux - no wonder it’s not as simple on Linux. Do you know what else is not that simple? Running Linux executables on Windows. In order to do that, you have to…

Also, the one with the hole requires less material for the same lever width.

Thanks for the clarification. So it’s probably the first point.

I know about blocking communities, and probably will do - I just feel that blocking a community is a bit overkill, especially if otherwise I don’t mind seeing posts from them, just not that many. Also, if I want Lemmy to grow, prematurely blocking communities before things could get traction seems somewhat conterintuitive to me. I also use the Subscribed feature when I get bored of random/spammy content, but my curse is that I’m interested in niche, slow communities, so I can choose between these two.

It’s alright, the rest of my problem is not relevant here anyway, and you answered my question, so thanks a lot!

You can tell them you’re not wasting any of it because eventually it will be used, none of it will get spoiled and people tend to actually need that bog roll within a week or two. Also, it’s a ONE time “double” buy, because from then on you buy everything once just the same; you just make sure you don’t end up spending even MORE when you run out of the 24 roll TP bag and have to quickly buy a less eco 6-pack.

Interesting, I know this one with beer.

Buying another box, bag, etc. of soap, toilet paper, tooth paste and whatever long lasting product before it runs out. It doesn’t expire (fast), therefore I always have a second, full bag as a buffer, and as soon as I have to open the second one, I put it on the shopping list so there is always a buffer bag and I don’t get annoyed if I still forget to buy one or it’s out of stock.

It’s been years since I had to use some weird substitute for toilet paper.

Oh, there was 0 offense taken, mockery didn’t even cross my mind. I just simply realised I was probably misleading first.

So the thing is, English is not my first language and I used the wrong word. I guess it’s more like greasy bread. Just plain pig fat spread on a slice of bread. But what you just described actually sounds awesome.

The good old 2000s when you could host and successfully distribute any virus disguised as something popular by slapping a _full, _HD or .rar/zip (or any combination) at the end of the file name.

I used to look up lard bread and there was a hit for lard bread_full.rar on the first page.

I made a very simple HTML page to count the money for my work. I’ve tried everything and I ended up hosting it just to be able to access it from Firefox. It might work with Android, I don’t know, but on this internet aids MIUI it’s impossible. But MIUI is just some pimped Android so chances are it’s the same.

I managed to open it locally in chrome (spits), but the URL didn’t even say the usual file path but some sus looking mi.com address, so I’ll stick with just hosting it.

Multiplayer (competitive?) gaming in general is pretty poorly supported on Linux. It’s not necessarily Linux’s fault: it’s enough to deal with one OS’s loopholes as an anti cheat developer, let alone two or more; but if you happen to actually enjoy playing games like Valorant, League of Legends, PUBG, Counter Strike or basically most of the big names, then, unfortunately, you don’t really have a choice.

I’ve been waiting for the (nearly?) full compatibility of multiplayer games for 20 years. I would love to solely use Linux, but I’m afraid it’s not just HDR or music production.

I’m just guessing, I’m still using Windows (though I would have made the swap literally decades ago if the games I like in particular ran on Linux just as fine): it’s not about functionality; Windows was designed to be a great tool to do your business.

It’s everything else that you pay in return, the price being the least of the problems. Forced ads, forced software, insane amount of “telemetry” (half of which is just data collection for their own gains), to name a few. Year by year it’s getting harder, more complicated and more tedious (and less and less doable) to remove all the forced ads, reverse all the forced program defaults and automatic bloat. If you have to look it up on the Internet how you need to edit the registry to be able to stop certain processes/services that annoy you, then it means they don’t want you to stop the annoyance. A few patches later you can’t even do it. Dishonest stuff like that.

If you’re fine with everything that Win11 means, including stuff that drives others up the wall, then Win11 is for you and there’s nothing wrong with that.

As much as others here love to shit on certain games (like League of Legends or Valorant), I still find them fun to play and I wouldn’t want to say goodbye to them just because otherwise I’d prefer Linux. There’s a reason they aren’t supported on various OS’s at the same time (developing anti cheat on multiple systems is just super labour intensive, and opens up way too many loopholes/exploits/bugs for cheat developers), and it pretty much applies to ANY multiplayer game. If I only played single player games I would switch in an instant.

Some bosses want to make sure you can hear the music at a decent volume at the back tables. Meanwhile the front tables:

The others here answered everything already, I just would like to use one analogy: 6 sports cars on a trailer.

I remember some old movie that was on TV ~30 years ago. A terrorist group broke into some computer room to destroy the data. They shot the monitors to smithereens and ran away.

(AFAIR they weren’t Macs)

Insomnium. Beautiful, melodic solos, decent riffs.

Oh, that’s perfectly fine: as Trump stated before, once elected he would start a dictatorship from day one. So if Biden is doing the same (obv. not) then he (Trump) wouldn’t bring anything new to the table, he would just copy ideas and now republicans can’t even say it’s a bad thing.

But I guess I expect too much from the average Trump voter, remembering whatever that senile felon said months/years ago.

The satellite dish would press against your hip bone.

• “Yes, I worked out a solution on paper, like back in the old days.”
