COSMIC: The Road to Alpha
  • Looks great. I’m excited for this project.

  • Spark notes for Windows -> Linux
  • If you have a computer background already then dive in! For a gaming rig try PopOS or Nobara.

    PopOS is Ubuntu based and used Gnome. They’re hard at work on a new custom DE that appears Gnome-like. PopOS is made by hardware company System76 to improve upon Ubuntu’s support of newer hardware they wish to sell.

    Nobara is Fedora based and recently switched to KDE Plasma which aligns with the Steam Deck. Nobara is specifically tweaked for gaming.

  • Redox OS - an OS built entirely out of Rust
  • I’ve used it in a VM just to mess around. I’d like to install it on an old ThinkPad and try to compile some applications.

  • Refinery Sunrise

    Anyone else using this to bypass those pesky paywalls? It’s working great for me using the docker container.

    Somebody I know is selling a shed for $200,000+
  • Looks like a great shed TBH.

  • Have you ever had a bad gut feeling about a (generally well-liked) person that ended up being totally justified? If so, what happened?
  • Bill Cosby comes to mind. Creepy and not at all funny. Never understood the appeal.

  • Florida man sentenced to 1 year in federal prison for trying to run over 6 Black men
  • Fine with me if the victim wants to express forgiveness in a personal or spiritual sense but that should be irrelevant to the criminal case. There should be consequences when a Judge / court fails its duty to serve justice and protect the broader community.

  • 5 home appliances that will change your life and allow you to cook tons of gourmet food extremely easily and at a low cost.
  • Of course you can use a regular oven but the bread machine makes it so easy that we bake a loaf couple times a week. FYI bread machines do it all: dump and bake style. They knead the dough and such. The machine can also make pizza dough or dough for burger buns, dinner rolls, etc. to bake in the oven. In terms of GF baking it can be pretty tricky and the Zojirushi in particular has a GF setting that delivers great results. Great value for our family.

  • 5 home appliances that will change your life and allow you to cook tons of gourmet food extremely easily and at a low cost.
  • Our household recently picked up a Zojirushi bread machine. We must eat gluten free for medical reasons and GF bread from the supermarket is very expensive around $9 for a mini loaf of bread that crumbles and molds. We are finding it very cost effective to make our own breads.

  • Use desktop to self-host?
  • What do you want to self host? To learn or experiment buy a cheap old x86 box. I get mine at goodwill auction. Otherwise desktop is good if you want something that needs more compute and that you’d spin up as needed vs always on.

  • Series of small questions
  • This might help with the mouse:

    https://pwr-solaar.github.io/Solaar/

  • Advice on when to purchase PC parts
  • I go with second-hand hardware. Depending on your needs might be good savings.

  • What browser do you use on your PC/Mac?
  • Firefox for personal. I like Edge for work stuff.

  • Nebula PC Case Review
  • I bought the nebula 49. Can't wait to get my hands on it!

  • People bitching about Lemmy.world blocking piracy instances sound like spoiled teenagers with no consideration of consequences
  • I'm glad the LW admins have the foresight to consider things like this and other areas of concern. It's good to see LW admin admit when they don't know enough about something and are being cautious. I don't think Discord should be the place for any announcements though. Hopefully LW can get the legal protections or assurances necessary to host all of the content people want to see.

  • People who keep journals or diaries, do you hand write or type?
  • Writing by hand with a pen you like on nice quality paper can be enjoyable. The best for me is when I journal on my typewriter.

  • What is the best answer to "Sell me this pen"?
  • I was also asked this question at 15 while being interviewed by the local Sears. I went on to sell shoes though. Cordless phones would have been cool.

    Debian 12 Bookworm on T61p

    I've been hearing good things about Debian 12 and it was easier than ever to install on this old T61p.

    Wanted to give Bookworm a test drive and happy to report it's smooth sailing using Gnome with a few tweaks from System76. Only took 8m 28s to compile pop launcher on the Core 2 Duo.

    Anyone been to a Type-in?

    !

    This image from Smith-Corona advertising during the 1960's is probably the earliest reference to the idea of the Type-In, the practice of gathering together with our typewriters and celebrating our machines and what we create with them.

    Anyone been to a type-in? How was it?

    My 1968 Olympia SM9

    Sharing a pic of my trusty typing machine. Mostly used for letters, some journaling, and occasionally poetry. It likes to tackle forms too. Still got that German precision. Here's under the hood:
