I was employed at this awesome little school but left before Desantis’s stupid anti-woke and DEI crusade. I hope it and the current students/employees don’t suffer too much. I doubt Desantis gets voted out…

Yup, Google Now was actually useful and helpful, so of course they had to get rid of it.
That looks like ranch dressing.
“Don’t you know the Dewey decimal system?”
Sorry, stupid reference. In seriousness though, type in a topic into your library’s search and start browsing, check out a few that seem useful.
I’m an academic and I find my University’s library useful for finding knowledge on a new topic. If an introductory textbook exists on the subject, can be a good starting point.
For Most hobbies though, youtube is a great resource. I’ve gotten into woodworking and fishing, and youtube is a superb resource for information.
Nope. Played it all the way through when it first came out. But haven’t touched it since then.
I fired up fallout 1 after watching it.
A long time ago most airlines checked at least one bag free. I used to always do this and as op suggests, not stand in line. It was great not having to take a bag through security and haul it around through airports and connecting flights, and avoid the stress of if the overhead space would run out.
But airlines have done everything in their power to make boarding and the whole flying process miserable in attempt to suck every dollar they can from you for their upgrades and priority boarding.
I do often take advantage of the airlines offer to “we expect a very full flight, overhead space is limited, and will check your bag for free to your final destination”
Yup. I teach at a university. It used to be adequate for instructions to say something along the lines of
open the file C://Folder/anotherfolder/subfolder/document.ext
I encounter more and more students every year that have no idea how to do this.
Kvaesitso is fantastic. Can get it on fdroid.
Board games at a local game store. Many will have a board game night.
I teach an electronics class and a barebones version of this is one of the early logic gate labs: an SR latch built using NAND gates. It can set and reset a bit!
User you are replying to wasn’t replying to OP?
Maybe my reading comprehension is bad, but it seemed obvious to me user was replying to a specific comment seeing how it was a reply to that nerd comment instead of OP and post used the phrase “this comment”.
I haven’t used discord on sway yet, but from some reading around as i will likely be upgrading pcs and switching to sway (wayland) from i3 (xorg), i think it is discord doesn’t play nice with wayland.
If the 2x4 width (about 1.5) is too small, 2x3 lumber is common. Get a bunch and screw two boards together to use three 3 inch (actually about 2.5) so that you don’t worry about the board tipping.
Since your current frame is legless, i’d probably do a decent sized frame underneath so not just supported at corners.
Phyphox is similar, not sure if it has all the same capabilities though.
Fit Notes - simple lifting progress app that i’ve been using for years. On play store.
Kvaesitso - launcher on fdroid. Has become my favorite launcher.
You say this as if command line is bad? I love the command line for certain tasks. A very common task I do is convert an image from one filetype to another. How does this work on windows? Assuming I have a program that works with each image filetype, I open up the program, click on some menus and dropdown selections and click convert or “save as file type”. On linux, where every major distro has imagemagick installed by default I type
convert image.jpg image.pdf
and done. I mean, how much easier can that be?
Or another example is merging a bunch of pdfs. I imagine adobe acrobat can do this, but I’ve never bothered to learn how, as I quickly learned that I can do it using pdftk on linux by typing
pdftk file1.pdf file2.pdf cat output merged.pdf
and done. If I do happen to forget the exact syntax for that command, google gives me the answer instantly.
If there’s a difficult command line thing to do with lots of options that can get confusing, there is a GUI interface that someone has written that has the dropdown boxes so you don’t HAVE to learn the specific options, but a little bit of learning the command line makes many tasks way more convenient than a typical windows GUI program.
Regarding wine, you’ve obviously have never used it (or likely even linux). I used my linux pc for 13 years before installing wine to play WoW. (side note to another of your strange assertions, I knew zero programming languages when I switched to linux.) Although, I wasn’t really gaming at all in that time period. I mainly do work on my pc, and the software I use is so much more convenient to us on linux than windows: mainly latex and vim. Some friend asked me to play WoW with them and I said “If I can get it to run on linux, I will.” Kind of thinking it would be a huge pain in the ass to get to run. But the whole process went super smooth, it was maybe 3 commands and now I use zero command line to launch WoW using wine.
Finally, I don’t like the windows UI. Floating desktop managers always annoyed me (including the linux ones such as gnome) whenever I needed multiple windows displayed at once. Way too much fiddliness adjusting window sizes and borders. I learned about tiling window managers, and that’s what I use now. Is tiling even possible on windows? I know you can win+arrow to kinda do this, but then rearranging can be a pain. I know this is all personal preference and most people like floating windows, but it’s a choice I can make on linux.
I’m in the same boat. I think I’m enjoying the experience of connect more and have been using it more lately.
Yup, had a 12 year old laptop that ran my work stuff just fine. i3 window manager uses like no resources. I only just replaced it this month because it did not run dwarf fortress well…
I’ve been running wow on linux via lutris since BFA.
