If you imagine the log as someone laying down with their head furthest from you and they are looking up at you. It stands out quite a bit to me but I have bad eyes and am tired.

edit:

is that creepy face I see intentional? Lovely shot either way.

I’ll try it again, looks like it’s come some way since I last checked.

I hate adobe and have been actively trying to switch away from them for a while. I work in game development, though, and for some reason no one has made it as easy to directly modify the alpha channel of a texture. It’s something I have to do a lot and is probably the one thing keeping me from using krita or affinity photo.

I guess it is quite striking, it’s a shame any are killed under bad conditions.

For those unaware, the usual process is something like this: graphic video warning

Animal agriculture kills something like 200 million chickens a day. They all live short miserable lives anyway, this hardly stands out to me.

I can respect that. I was once where you are and one day I just decided I couldn’t justify it anymore. Now I only eat sticks and moss.

But if you wanna try making some vegan food my advice is just don’t overthink it, make some pasta and just pan fry some veggies you like and mix 'em through with some olive oil. It’s always a tasty time.

That’s probably smart. Even with important things I don’t think online arguments have ever swayed anyone. I like being an annoying vegan and arguing about it occasionally, but sometimes it’s just frustrating and I have to disconnect for a while.

I’ve always had a soft spot for the album Medulla by Bjork. If I’m not mistaken it was made entirely with mouth sounds. Has a really unique feeling to it.

I see a cougar in the top of the wave.

This is exactly what I felt while watching this. Does anyone really care about bezel width or weight or thickness when the differences have to be measured with callipers? And that stupid yellow tint when you’re not looking directly at your phone. I’d actually like worse viewing angles for my phone because it seems better privacy wise.

Battery life is kinda nice if you’re travelling or just not sure when you’ll next be able to charge, but in those cases the solution is always to just get a battery pack for emergencies. All of these criticisms seem so out of touch with how people actually use their phones.

And when those compromises mean you have your phone longer and buy a more ethical, sustainable product that pays workers… Easy choice.

Might be waiting a while if you’re on Debian. But should be pretty nice once it’s working.

I was talking about this with a friend just the other night. A lot of those services can actually be helpful. The problem is they’re so often predatory and just target people with the idea that they can buy things they can’t afford.

This is a bit different to DEs. X11 and Wayland are display server protocols. For some time all DEs used X11, but it wasn’t perfect and had some issues, so some folks came up with Wayland to replace it. I don’t know a lot about the differences but one example I have is that you can’t have two monitors with different resolution scaling on X11. Wayland solves that issue.

X11 has been around for a long time, though, and does a lot of stuff, probably more stuff than a display server should. and so a lot of Linux programs have come to rely on those things. This means that the change to Wayland is not straight forward, it meant rewriting a whole bunch of X11 functionality that Wayland would never add.

This will probably be a good thing in the long run, but as of now a lot of people are still not ready to change. And to mirror your sentiment, nor should they have to.

Also: I probably don’t know as much about this topic as some others, so correct me at will.

I recognise these little scamps. They’re pretty cute.

I like the starship prompt. Not sure it’s really a utility, though?

ahh, that’s good to know, thanks.

I’m mostly just speaking to the process. I can right click and mount the drive without a problem, but there’s no way to auto mount it on startup without editing the fstab file and finding the uuid of the drive through the terminal (at least as far as I could tell) all of the functionality is there, which is rather laudable, but the process is unapproachable for a lot of people.

O and yea, I did have to disable some fast startup setting in windows to get the write access, I forgot about that. But yeah, that one’s on Windows.

edit: sorry, this was actually pretty irrelevant to what I actually said, which was just about the write access which you pointed out was a windows issue. I got mixed up with my replies.

o, that’s weird, this one might actually just be user error then, haha. I’ll have to try again as I’m also using plasma.

I actually think it might be better for less tech literate people in some cases. Supposing it’s pre installed or they have someone to set things up for them. If you’re just using it to browse the web or write some documents the general experience is pretty good. It’s only when you start trying to do a bit more with it that things get complicated.

O no, tinkering with the ui is a delight, especially when compared to windows! I love the amount of customisation you get.

And yeah, dual booting can be a pain, I had to learn a lot more than I thought I did to get everything setup reasonably, unfortunately it’s also kind of a requirement for a lot of people who are thinking of swapping but need to give it a test drive first. I would have had a lot less issues without a dual boot, but I also need my computer for work so can’t really go all in until I’m sure I can do everything I need first.

Also yes I agree, I am really excited for the future of Linux, even just having been using it and reading and watching Linux content for a short time I can already sense it’s moving in a good direction. Very excited for wayland, not having different resolution scaling on different screens is another nitpick.
