I spent the last 6 months working on a feature. Found out 2 weeks before release that it was being postponed.

Came here to write advertising. Your product should speak for itself.

Landlording, however, is not an occupation. They’re just parasites who’ve convinced people it is.

A really good way to do linux is to play around and break things, but to have a backup you can restore from.

I don’t know about other distros specifically, but Mint comes shipped with Timeshift, which is easily configurable and can be set up to include your home directory. Make a backup on an external drive every now and again so that if you break everything, you only lose a bit of work instead of all of it.

Search engines are your friend. If you want to do something, look it up first (ex/ “How do I [x] on linux”) and read some of the answers. Don’t just go with the first option you see, and if it looks decent but you don’t understand it try looking up the commands it uses to find some documentation.

Learning linux isn’t something you can do as passively as you can with Windows, so take time to really try and learn things you’re looking to do.

And a good rule of thumb is that if you think your system should be able to do something, it probably can.

I just had to go and check because I got my 2 year subscription for ~$0.75 a month ($1 CAD) back in April. When I check their pricing page while not logged in, it shows me that I can save 50% on my first year and pay $6 monthly.

I think at this point I am more excited for, and have higher expectations of, Skywind.

I only noticed with my partner after they already told me they were a lefty, and we were working together one day and kept bumping each other.

Now we make sure that I sit on the right and they sit on the left.

Mine’s outside, but I also have the same version… who’s out here cloning this cat?

Oh I’ve been trying. He’s tech adverse in general, so the concept of open source software scares him because it means trusting others with regards to tech.

It also doesn’t help that my dad still isn’t filly convinced Linux isn’t a virus/dangerous to my PC.

Honestly. I genuinely have to fight to not say please and thank you.

Not universally but yeah. Ceiling lights can be really bad for overstimulation, so a lot of ND people will prefer to never turn an overhead light on in favour of using lamps/natural light.

pi = 3.1±0.05

Gotta allow for a little uncertainty, just to absolutely ruin everything.

Well there’s your problem. You need to get a cabinet.

I hate that it lines up so perfectly, and then is missing a single syllable following “linux”.

Truly one of the systems of all time.

The book is better than the movie, and Jurassic Park is one of my favourite movies.

As someone who also installed Mint on a Lenovo, I feel your pain. The only difference is that I was aware of the BIOS setting before I did the install because I’d read some forum posts preparing myself for the install.

This is completely unrelated to the cat, and I have no idea why I think this, but from the nose up you look like someone who makes quality video essays on YouTube (not a specific individual, just the vibe)

The distinction isn’t universal and is often made by people from the three other Atlantic provinces.

The name “the Maritime Provinces” predates Newfoundland joining Canada, so most people from Prince Edward Island (like myself), New Brunswick, or Nova Scotia will draw a distinction between Maritime provinces (which do not include Newfoundland) and the Atlantic Provinces (which do include Newfoundland).

Most people will not even bat an eye if you call Newfoundland a Maritime Province unless they’re from another Maritime province.

NGL, I’ve just accepted that it won’t make sense to the neurotypicals.

I’ll straight up say “sorry, my brain wouldn’t let me do it” or “the guy upstairs is really fighting me right now” while pointing at my head.

Best case, they understand what I mean. Worst case, they think I’m crazy, which is a best case in and of itself.
