Don’t know if it’s planned obsolescence or just laziness but all of my Nintendo Switches have at least a little drift and I’ve bought at least two replacement sets of joy-cons AND replaced just the joystick on one unit (PITA and replacements didn’t work 100% so I stopped repairing).
I’ve been successful in replacing built-in batteries in 2 different phones. Granted my families phones are all > 4 years old so maybe it’s gotten much harder lately.
Agree. My jeans have been wearing out at the knees within a couple years and I’m middle-aged so I’m NEVER on my knees for more than a few seconds. Apparently they’re averse to bending. 🤨
As far as vim goes I’ll say it’s not really necessary to learn but it’s a good tool to have in your belt. I once tried to print the manual to vim but noped out after about 100 pages. I’d say learn how to navigate, edit, copy-paste, find and replace text in vim. You could go all the way to do crazy things like running a CLI command from within vim and put the result into the editor but from a desktop environment it isn’t as helpful compared to simply having two terminal instances open.
Can’t find it but I was almost positive there was a trailer for 9 set to this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQRh_koli9E
Oh, hell yes! I’ve been looking for something almost exactly like this!
Works wonderfully if you’re profit. The free markets love you and will do anything for you.
Oh, you’re a people? Have you heard of our Lord and Savior profit? If you’re not helping profit then you must be hurting it, therefore hurting the market. We don’t take kindly to the likes of you.
I’m mostly amazed that they discovered it. When I think of a good transition distro this is not what comes to mind. Must have been some kind of targeted ad campaign. Also there’s probably a ton of people that think no good software could possibly be free.
I’ve been on Bazzite for a while now and it’s almost boring how stable it is.
I agree it’s a potential drawback for people that like tinkering. It kind of turns your computer into a very flexible gaming console.
As an experienced Linux user I’ll say immutable Fedora (Bazzite) is the most stable OS I’ve ever used. Had to do a rollback maybe once, because of bad pkg layering, which they discourage, never had a pkg conflict on upgrade, everything installs and uninstalls cleanly (with flatpak or brew), and there’s been maybe one, very uncommon, use-case I thought the OS wasn’t up to doing.
I’ve never used Mint but I’m guessing its ease-of-use is mainly due to maintenance and configuration being done largely through the UI. Immutable distros tend to be UI heavy as well because approaching problems the traditional way (through CLI) are more likely to have you edit the read only sections of the filesystem.
Immutable or not I think most casual users will be safe if they don’t use the terminal.
Not hard to find single cup brewers for loose grounds (I own one) and they’re cheaper because they don’t have to work with Keurig for licensing and compatibility.
Those aren’t bad but the container is too small for my liking. Keurig brewers are a pain to clean too.
Used coffee grounds have many more uses than the plastic k-cups. Recycling the cups is difficult and usually doesn’t happen. They do make eco-friendly cups but they still contain dyes for the labels and require more energy to mass produce than simple paper filters and a bag of grounds (or beans if you grind your own).
K-Cups. They might save you a grand total of a minute over loose grounds and a disposable paper filter, but they’re more costly per cup and create more waste.
I’ll buy them as “gag gifts” but not for myself.
Rage. The changes to 3rd party apps really pissed me off and I thought it was best to use my anger productively.
Don’t obsess about high school drama or let it get you down. Social interactions post-HS are completely different.
I would say listen but make your own choices and make mistakes (small ones). Parents are conditioned to protect their kids but that’s a poor way for you to learn real life lessons.
Ditto. One of the biggest gripes I have with my servers is the fat UPS I have to keep next to them.
