Getting their pensions paid out in crayon boxes

He looks so pleased with himself I love it

Orange juice also has some magnesium in it which can slightly help with pain and such.

I drink it when I get a migraine and always thought it was the sugar too till I found that out.

Is that a freshly baked bun? Too cute!

Dell and Lenovo both sell Chromebooks, which technically run a variant of Linux. Those laptops are especially popular in schools.

It’s smart investment on their part and broadens their options longer term.

All in all a net positive on all fronts.

Yep lmao each medication I take is for a different inherent condition (i.e., not side effect management) and cannot be stopped without me losing ability to function in a serious way.

This reads as woowoo MAHA med-shaming bullshit to be honest.

Bingo. Same with religion - I already kill and harm as much as I want to, which is zero. I like helping my community and my family, and even for selfish reasons it benefits me because they have my back too as a result.

If a person needs a book or a threat to behave in prosocial ways, they have a problem.

13, also no children.

Spiritually dad-like ✨

I have this installed on my Steam Deck and still have to play it (after owning it for a few years already).

Currently replaying The Outer Worlds and this seems like the same vibe. Seems IW earned a reputation among its niche fanbase as a great cyberpunk game, even if it’s not 1:1 DX1.

Could be my cultural background but I’m a sucker for a traditional Sunday sauce or (even better) baked ziti, at least during most of the year.

Summer cookouts are also awesome with a spread of charred hot dogs, burgers, potato salad, pasta salad, and lettuce-based salad.

I’d guess Cajun English? Since it has so much French influence and also is its own distinct dialect with unique origins.

Considering they got individual dollops of whipped cream served to them on little plates because the youngest looked at me and whined, I’d say jim-frickin-dandy 😂

They have me trained.

I’m not great at keeping up on game news (outside of the gaming and bside fedia comms on here) but I’ll do my best to keep that in mind anyhow, thank you for the answer!

Oh god I could accidentally spam that comm with recs. My entire played library is almost exclusively indies…or well, indie-vibes.

Is there a semantic qualification for what counts as indie? Like, small studio, literal independent publisher, or just not AA/AAA?

Cuz I know there’s been discussions on how, say, Dave the Diver is not an indie game due to their being a subset of a bigger studio/publisher even though the gameplay loop reads “indie” as a genre.

Endeavour was the one I actually installed to my drive some years ago after spinning up a handful of “classic” recommended distros in a VM (Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, etc).

It was recommended to me by a close family member who had used Linux for a while, but we’re both in IT/tech.

My SO, on the other hand, while quite intelligent and capable of troubleshooting absolutely detests having to touch the CLI or open their PC tower.

It heavily depends on the end user and what they want to do, not just what they’re capable of. Frustration isn’t limited to incapability.

Not quite a rename but this song brings a similar vibe.

Frodo at the end of LotR was pretty permanently screwed up from his suffering. Sometimes there’s a hint of realism from authors/media creators.

Drawing stick figures on note paper counts as creativity. Hell, XKCD has an entire long-running comic out of just stick figures.

If you have a phone with a camera you can try playing with taking photos, and editing those in creative ways as well.

At the end of the day, though, everyone starts somewhere and being “great” at something is irrelevant as long as you enjoy what you’re doing. Practice can help you get better, but being creative is mainly about having a fun activity that makes you happy.

All good. From my non-professional perspective so far it mostly looks like real-time-kit is pretty active, which seems to be primarily for enabling audio.

Are you having issues with audio? Or are you maybe having trouble with GOG after you start it?

How new are you to Linux?* /gen

Have you checked the output of, say, “journalctl -b -2”? This would give you a system log of messages that go back to two boot sessions ago and normally show you what happened just before that first shutdown.

This could be drivers, background processes, hardware, no way to know without starting by looking at logs. Hell, I’ve had a monitor crash out my system multiple times and I wouldn’t have ever guessed if I didn’t check my logs and dmesg output.
