I put Linux Mint on my wifes, her parents and my parents computers, they all are somewhat to absolutely tech illiterate. I have to remind them to update once in a while and new software gets installed by me. But apart from that, everyone is happy with their rocksolid day to day system. Windows wouldn’t make anything easier, neither for me nor for them.

I really am not, Sugartits :)

I just learned about the Tyre Extinguishers. They use lentils to depress the pin on the valve cap of an SUV’s tyre, so that the tyre deflates without getting damaged. It’s super effective and it’s not a crime. They are called the Tyre Extinguishers.

Or use this video to turn your vanilla distribution into an audio production powerhouse with a single script. Bitwig, Reaper, Windows VSTs, low latency, incredible!

I am a Bitwig fanboy, big time. The DAW is beyond everything else!
This video was a game changer for me. Turned my vanilla Linux Mint into an audio production powerhouse with a single script. Bitwig, Reaper, Windows VSTs, low latency. Incedible!

It’s not THAT blurry :)

I installed something like this next to my toilet a couple of month ago and it changed my life. Costs like 30 bucks, it takes 3 single sheets to dry my clean ass. Whiping shit left to right up and down until it stops sticking feels so barbaric now.

I’m a Bitwig fanboy 4 life. This DAW blows me away and it being on Linux was one of the main reasons for me to leave Windows.

Information Warfare 101: Tell your citizens about the unspeakable atrocities comitted by your enemy to dehumanise them. Repeat, on both sides. “Nuke these bastards” is exactly what those stories lead to.

I’m not defending russia in any way, this war is a horrible crime and every person killed, injured or raped is one too many. Noone deserves this.

I don’t really get your point. What do you want to say and do you have a source?

You didn’t quote my entire sentence. Livestock was the word I was looking for when I listed “cattle, pigs and chicken”.

That would be taking away a lot of energy from the animals food and a lot of spare oil for us. This article and graph says you’re wrong.

Most soy we put directly on our plates is no GMO, it’s organic and comes from the EU (at least here in Germany). But more than 80% of the global soy is fed to cattle, pigs snd chicken, that’s always GMO, that’s what the amazon gets burned for.

Funny how soy, eaten over centuries by billions of asians, seems strange to him. But drinking mothers milk from a different species that grows a small calve into a huge cow in just 6 months is completely fine.

Play Shattered Pixel Dungeon, it’s free and open source.

I slowly degoogled my life. It took me a lot of babysteps and a couple of years but it was well worth it and sound pretty impressive now: My phone runs Lineage OS with MikroG, I use OsmAnd for maps, NeoStore for open source apps and Aurora Store for like three apps I really want from the Play Store. I pay 1€ per month for my email-provider and get calendars, tasks and contacts, which I sync with DavX5 to my phone and computer. I run Linux on my Desktop PC since a couple of months and love it so far. My router runs through a Raspberry Pi with Pi-hole, which catches a lot of telemetry and ads.

You’re right, sometimes it’s a little less polished or convenient, but that’s okay because I never forced myself. That’s how I got this far I think.

Did that a year ago with Linux Mint and I love it. If I start my computer it boots Mint, if I press F11 during startup I can select Windows from the Boot menu. I have a 1TB SSD with two partitions, one NTFS for Windows and one EXT4 for Mint. All other harddrives (NTFS) can be used in both OSs. It wasn’t that complicated, I just followed some tutorial anf I highly recommend this Kind of dual boot setup.

I switched from Windows to Linux Mint like a year ago and Bitwig worked out of the box using THIS script with Yabridge.

I use the AOSP keyboard with this magisk module.
