  • I don't know your use case, but I'm less skilled with computers than you (I'm currently trying to build my first ever home server as a hobby) and i can use it easy.

  • I used i3 for a couple of years, but I missed the ease of having a DE that just recognised USB sticks and external hard drives, and all the other little things that you have to set up manually

  • Join a smaller instance. You can still see posts on lemmy.world, and you might find a niche you're interested in in the process

  • Nobody is talking about marxists or leftists here, tankies are a breed of their own

  • Do it bro, I switched 5 years ago after being too fed up with windows, and I've never looked back

  • I used wind scribe for a few years for torrenting on my phone andpc and never had any trouble. Once I forgot to turn on the vpn while downloading a movie on my phone at work (using the companywifi 🤦) and got an email from IT saying they'd gotten a warning and not to do it again 🤣😬

    They do have a firewall option to prevent scenarios like that

  • My first impression was that they were Korean

  • I had a friend like that too, he was Sri Lankan and took offense that he was somehow not included in the blanket term of Asian. I've since learnt it's possible to be more specific and say South Asian for countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka etc, and south-east Asian for countries like Thailand, Korea, Indonesia, Philippines etc

  • Maybe you should read the manual on how to reply to a Lemmy comment

  • Preach!

  • Yes exactly! Linux has its pitfalls, but the pitfalls of Linux are far more tolerable for me than the shortcomings of windows.

    Macs I can't speak for because I've never tried, but they seem overpriced

  • I started using Usenet about a year ago and much prefer it. Once you have you it set up it's very straight forward to use, and means you don't have to worry about maintaining your ratio, or making sure your vpn doesn't drop out, or piratebay going down etc etc

  • My Dad died of lung cancer so I'm gonna keep my eye on this research

  • When I discovered soulseek and could stop paying $20-$30 per CD. Incidentally, I bought an iPod round the same time and couldn't copy my mp3s over, and that's the last time i ever bought an apple product

  • Ironically I've tried installing Ubuntu a couple of times in the past, but for whatever reason it didn't work. I'm currently using Debian instead just because the install worked. No idea why, maybe my laptop is just weird.

    I used Arch for years because I wanted to learn more about how linux works and it was a good way to push myself. I think it worked because I am better at problem solving now - I even read the error messages lol

  • I saw cattle decap live a few months ago, they put on a fucking awesome show! Whoever did the audio for the gig did a hell of a job too

  • Umm I don't think New Guinea is part of the Australian continent. I live in Australia and they definitely didn't teach us that in school

  • For some reason New Guinea is included with Australia, even though the western half is owned by Indonesia, and the eastern half is its own country. Either way with the civil war going on there at the moment I'd much rather be living in Australia!

  • Yeah I didn't know this one either. Every time I see one of these cheatsheets, I learn something new
