@VD15 Calamity modded foods
After helping five friends in the last two months transition from #windows to #linux here are my thoughts:
1. Show case both #kde and #gnome before you pick it form them. 2/5 Decided to try KDE because it reminded them of Windows and the rest wanted Gnome because they where tired of windows UI
2. Do not fill their head with distros, go with one where it is easy to get support. I went with @fedora as it is the one I know best and like the resource for. So far only one has swapped (to Ubuntu)
thank goodness we haven't backslid on the quality of our graphical user interfaces by making everything a fucking webpage.
I reverse engineered the firmware loading utility of a $17 beauty salon spectrophotometer to load the firmware of its "big boy" sibling:

@VD15 I and my gf have already decided that when we renovate the place, everything is gonna be on a level comfortable for us, and since we're ~180 and ~190 cm, we're gonna have stools for guests to reach sinks and counters when they visit.
As I always see people sharing links to Spotify, Apple Music and other services directly, I want to mention Odesli for a second.
It's also known as Songlink, as it generates links like this.
And also as Albumlink, as it generates links like this.
https://album.link/i/1528027446
It can also do links for albums and podcasts.
It only takes a few seconds to generate but saves everyone a lot of time.
Odesli will generate a page that links to all possible music services where the song, album or artist can be found. Including services that aren't that mainstream.
So maybe you can take the time the next time you want to share an album or song and generate a more accessible link for everyone. 😊
@micdan5 @BrodieOnLinux out of curiosity, what? From what I've seen wayland should be better for gaming in every aspect, even for windows games ever since wine supports it directly.
@infobeautiful Switzerland and Belgium get their own mentions but Poland, Greece and everything in between are just "Eastern Europe"? That's not even Eastern Europe! Was this meant to offend everyone in this belt? Is the author Belgian? xD So many questions.
Do you even remember why we were making websites in the first place?
Thanks ethical_haquer for the picture
@mlody jako generalnie fan fediverse muszę przyznać, że takie akcje są jego wielką wadą. Ogarnianie serwera do którego chce się dołączyć przed dołączeniem się i poznaniem fedi bezpośrednio jest nierealistyczne i mnóstwo ludzi się potyka o niespodziewanie złą administrację, czy to po prostu nieogarniającą jak tutaj czy prowadzącą świętą wojnę jak ten art czy jak mu tam było. Bonusowe punkty za akcje typu queer.af XD
Już nie mówiąc o tym, że sprawdzone i godne zaufania instancje to niewielka grupa głównie największych, co idzie wbrew decentralizacji.

For most of Windows history it was impossible to switch scroll direction without messing with the registry. Seeing how long it's taking to make it a user-accessible setting I assumed it's because either the way Windows handles scrolls is incredibly borked, or some Microsoft manager is religiously opposed to it.
Seeing how now that they finally implemented it, it doesn't work in OneNote and other random apps and it's called "Down motion scrolls up", I'd say it's both lol.
