Yup. Trying to get various work critical specific pieces of software working on Linux is just not a reasonable concept. Dual boot is the only option.
I mean, I could make a list of things I think are problems, but I've been using it since a bit after 9/11 so I dont think my guesses would represent new user experiences. I am mostly going off what people tell me when they try to learn it.
otherwise it's hard to respond to such a vague statement
I wasn't writing advice for the devs, I was making a general statement about why foss stuff doesn't tend to suit glitzy, highly marketable front facing stuff, using gimp as an example
I really hoped we millennials would remember getting shit on constantly and maybe not do it.
Unless 3.0 has solved it, the gimp has a steep UI problem and a learning curve such that mass appeal on the website would be inappropriate anyway. I love it but I love it because I've been using it my whole life and know it very well. Foss in general struggles with useability due to a lot of hard to overcome problems - mainly, that by the time someone is ready to contribute to any given foss project, they're already intimately familiar with its foibles and probably have strong opinions about what UX elements are sacred cows and should not be fixed.
As a long time - pre version 2 - gimp user my first thought was "what, don't be ridiculous" and now I dont know what to feel. Why would you do this to me personally
Idk. There's a selection process for people who become billionaires. Personally, I don't think it's really possible to become and remain one without a pretty low level of empathy.
We look and sound just like them. I don't anticipate this going well for america.
Eh. to some degree, enshittification is going to happen as more people come in, because more people = more shitty people. If we want to have the good niche communities that are IMO the only excellent thing about reddit, we'll have to put up with the fact that that also means a bunch of annoying people use the service.
At least Lemmy has far, far better tools for dealing with them.
I'd have less trouble believing this if there was any meaningful backlash from his supporters. Currently there isn't even meaningful backlash from his opposition, so colour me doubtful.
of course? All these people are my fellow man. I have no idea what your point is. I don't think aliens did it.
It's more like blaming city council because they refuse to pass any regulations that might reduce the number of fires, because it would hurt their donors in the construction industry.
We are way past the point where democrats could have done anything, and we arrived here because all through my almost fifty year lifetime and before, people on the left have been warning them about the US's decline towards fascism, the takeover of their media and the dominance of voter suppression, and they've chosen to never take any action to stop it. I fail to see why they should escape blame now, after making the bed they are lying in.
No, fuck this. The best analogy I've seen is that the republicans are a school shooter, and the democrats are the uvalde police department. I'm not going to forgive a group thst somehow becomes utterly ineffectual any time they're needed. This has been brewing for decades. If the democrats were just tooooooooo weak to do anything to prevent it in all that time, what fucking use are they?
If there's 75 million of you, get out and fucking obstruct things. Stop asking people in other countries how to clean up your own mess, learn a little about civil disobedience, and start doing it.
Like everyone here, I have no patience for your passive aggressive "this isn't myyyyy fault" attitude. Is it mine? I'm in a foreign nation, for fuck's sake. Maybe you really can't do anything from your own situation, I understand that, but then don't come in here acting sanctimonious about it. Your labour is providing for the military machine that's threatening me and my family. I have no sympathy.
A lemmy post from their account asking would be a clue
It makes perfect sense if you're a person who thinks they're the absolute center of the world and you judge every other person's actions by how they impact you personally, I suppose.
So far, waiting for Americans to do the right thing in the face of madness has not payed off for anyone. I think it's dangerous to expect them to start.
I'm not particularly worked up, I'm only responding because you're continuing to bring it up. My whole problem is that what she wants people to see doesn't actually tell anyone her plan. She has a plan, someone else posted her talking more openly about it. Her press release doesn't actually say what it is, just reassures people without making any even vague commitments. I find that irritating. Honestly I think you should too. It's one of the most transparent ways politicians try to avoid accountability.
Then don't release a press release and a plan? Your comment doesn't make sense in context.
I'd say about half of them are sfw actually, including one of my all time favourites, Northerner
My local store stopped stocking their soy milk a year so ago. They have a really good mixed oat/bean milk that I love though
So the exploding heads vote is well past a day old now. The vote is almost unanimous to defederate. It's been obvious since a few hours after it went up what the community wants. It's now taken well past two weeks to defederate from an obvious alt right troll and bot platform. Twelve days of silence from admins, then a day long debate thread, then an interminable vote. I requested word on when the vote could be called closed, but my question was acknowledged and ignored.
For my own self, I have at this point no faith in the administration of this instance anymore to be able to handle this. It's very clear that wanting to not offend the alt-right is far, far more important than hearing the wishes of the users, and always has been. However, this is the agora, so I'm open to hear a counterpoint explaining why it's actually very reasonable to spend weeks upon weeks in endless circling debate over whether or not it's fine to joke about murdering marginalized people.
Edit: since my thread was locked and I can't reply to accusations, I only joined beehaw because of this, about two days ago. I'm not "a beehaw user", I've barely got my account there active. On this site I have a community and four hundred posts, but I'll be closing that now.
I opened this thread after seeking comment and being ignored for a week. You can see it in my post history if you like. That's enough of that for me.
I was there, I saw the thread. @TheDude, did you? It was pretty strongly in favour. Do we really need to keep waiting around to see if an instance administrated by a guy who wants to declare "cis" a slur is going to turn out okay?

> For a long time I've tried to get a good RPG setting going for BT. I know there's an already written RPG for the game but tbh I don't really like it. For a while, I thought about making a bare-bones RPG myself that used the same base mechanics scaled down, but I found it was just too crunchy and slow. Now, I'm thinking that since the game will get very crunchy and simulated once it steps into mech combat, it can probably be narrative and story-based for the out-of-mech sequences. Since my favourite RPG is hands-down Blades in the Dark, lately, I've been thinking of writing a Forged in the Dark system game for battletech. > > This is getting pretty niche so I'm not sure if I'll find enough people who play BT and know FitD well, but I'm curious if anyone in here knows of an existing FitD build, or other more narrative-focused RPG, that would be easier to adapt to BT.
My daughter has asked me to write a book targeting her age range, 7-10 years old. I've read a few chapter books with her and have an idea of the language level, but I'm finding it very challenging to keep an engaging story going with the constraints. Anyone know of any tips or guides out there worth looking at for helping set language goals in an early readers setting?
Socca is a crispy chickpea pancake from Nice, France. Learn how to make it with this easy recipe, and enjoy it as an appetizer or flatbread! Gluten-free.

> This is one of my go-to quick lunch recipes. It takes chickpea flour, water, a bit of olive oil, and salt. You do need to prep it a bit in advance to give the chickpea flour time to soak up the water, and then for the pan to heat up, but the actual cook time is minimal. Done right - which is easy - it's got a crisp, flavourful outside and a soft, almost custardy inner layer. It goes great with zatar seasoning on it, or just coarse salt, and because chickpea flour is pretty high protein, it's surprisingly filling. > > It also makes a decent pizza crust substitute for gluten free folk! It's nothing like bread but it's super delicious with pizza-like toppings. > > A pan of socca and some fresh veggies or a greek salad is a really nice, filling dinner when you want to take it easy.

> Here's an ode to crispy oven roasted beans and chickpeas. If you take pretty much any cooked pulse, toss it in flavours, and bake it, you can make them into crunchy little flavour nuggets to sprinkle on salads, in wraps, eat straight up, put in idk your breakfast cereal or whatever. I'm not your dad, you can decide. It's a great trick and I don't hear enough about people doing it. Did you know it also works with quinoa, giving it a light crispiness almost like puffed rice? > > Sample recipe off the top of my head: > > - 1 cup cooked black beans > - ~1 tbsp olive oil > - 1 tsp salt > - 2 tsp garlic powder > - 1 tsp chilli powder > - 1 tsp smoked paprika > - 2 tsp granulated onion > > Toss together until well coated. > Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. > Spread beans out on parchment paper. > Bake for 45 minutes at 400f or until beans have split open like teeny baked potatoes. give em more time to make them crunchier. > > > Anyone else addicted to these? My wife thinks I'm going a bit overboard when I mix them into refries but yo dawg, we heard you like beans so...
I'll eat hot peppers in any circumstances, but my favourite is to ferment them and pulverize them into sauce. Anyone else do the fermentation route? What are your favourite ingredients, peppers, etc?
I use a lot of different things but my recurrent non-pepper ingredient is leek. It ferments amazingly to create a sweet allium flavour that doesn't overpower the peppers themselves. I also like adding peach or apple for sweetness after the fermentation.
I'm still somewhat new to MtG, and have mainly played commander, along with a bit of modern which was a little too intense for me. What are some good formats to look into for kitchen table, 2 player mtg with my wife? Commander is great but tends to want a 4 player format.
Bear in mind we'd rather not buy new cards, but used cards and proxies are fine, got no major price constraints since I'm happy to print up a card if it's going to be too hard to find.
I've had great recommendations on my niche hobbies and a few funny chains of pun posting, so we're almost fully operational now.
I'm not sure if I'm just not seeing it, but when I get a reply in my inbox, i don't have any buttons to reply back, or to link to see context. Is this a missing feature or am I just blind?
After a year of absence, I'll give this instance another shot, things have gone better than I expected.
