It's the front bumper

Sometimes the point of a job is to be in a certain place at a certain time, so job places requiring you to follow the clock makes sense in a lot of cases.

If your job is to make at least 25 "thingies", and you make 25, you should be able to go home.

DerisionConsulting ,

I mean, Tim Cain, so it would make sense that his videos are good.

He's behind some of the best computer RPGs of all time, Fallout and VTM Bloodlines.

DerisionConsulting ,

yes, everyone on earth.

Bing API is down, which has killed some things.

DerisionConsulting ,

There are some that were wrong to begin with, I remember 622 bothering me.
https://xkcd.com/622/

But it could also just be that in the comic, the professor is wrong.

DerisionConsulting ,

I assume you are joking, but in case you are not, the bonesaw they are talking about is the crown prince of Saudi Arabia:

As long as you don't have an Nvidia card, choose whichever functional and complete distro (some people call these "beginner" distros).

MintLinux and Pop!OS are normally the two front-runners for new users. Basically, if you use Steam and you don't play online-only games with bad implementations of anti-cheat software, you are good to game on either.

Make a USB that you can "live boot" from, so you can test out how they work with your hardware before you actually install the OS. Generally speaking, Mint works better with AMD, and Pop! works better with Nvidia.

Here’s the official basic guide for Mint:

And here’s the official basic guide for Pop!:

DerisionConsulting ,

As a general rule for Linux; Yes, Nvidia hates linux, and the drivers cause issues in a lot of cases.

But Pop! has specifically worded to try to deal with Nvidia, so it might be smooth sailing, depending on which card you have.

DerisionConsulting , (edited )

Arch is like making your own cookies, starting from growing the wheat.

Mint and Pop! are like buying Oreos.

I'm done threshing in my life, never again.

I think LFS means you also need to build the stove.

DerisionConsulting ,

It's only a general rule. In my experience, Nvidia has kinda been all over the place on how Linux-friendly they are. Do a couple searches on the exact card you have, you might be lucky.

I hope you have fun with finding what works best for you and your hardware!

https://thoughtbot.com/blog/the-magic-behind-configure-make-make-install

The configure script is responsible for getting ready to build the software on your specific system. It makes sure all of the dependencies for the rest of the build and install process are available, and finds out whatever it needs to know to use those dependencies.

If you or don't program, or you install programs through a Software Manager or use Flatpacks, this isn't really a part of your life.

DerisionConsulting ,

Honestly, I don't think I've used terminal in a year.

DerisionConsulting ,

Yep, once you get your edge-cases sorted (like needing to run SketchUp 2016), Linux is set it and forget it for distros worth using.

DerisionConsulting ,

Those 20+cm serrated metal blades? Yeah, they cut things.

It's great that the wound is so small

DerisionConsulting ,

I had a friend back in high school who did this to a girt wearing a Nirvana shirt. He made her name 10 songs that weren't "Smells like Teen Spirit". He said she was a "fake fan" who shouldn't be allowed to wear/buy the shirt because of the 10 songs she named, one of them was a cover.

DerisionConsulting ,

That person that I used to know definitely was.

DerisionConsulting ,

I can't remember the exact song, I mostly just remember how much of an ass that guy was.

I don't really think this comic is "haha funny", but I think the comic would still have the same effect.

DerisionConsulting ,

Yep.

Or you put up signs and pay security/police/bylaw officers to patrol.

    I don't think that the comic is about the age/gender. I think it's about the different situations that people find themselves, and to remind people that they probably interact with homeless people more often than they realize.

    I was "panel 4" (had a job, but not a bed) as an adult male working at a hardware store.

    DerisionConsulting ,

    Even for an AI image, that's pretty low quality. The bricks don't line up.

    Some people are not a fan of the internal cameras recording you at all times that send footage back to Tesla.

    DerisionConsulting ,

    Exactly. If you own a Tesla, roadtrips don't include handjobs. What's even the point?

    Stonetoss is a garbage person. We don't need to promote anti-vax, anti-LGBT+, racist, Holocaust denying, misogynistic creators.

    If we don't care about FOSS or privacy or whatever, Discord is good as a chat service, but it really isn't a replacement of something like a forum, website, or wiki.

    Good place to ask a question, not a great place to look for the answer to a question yourself.

    DerisionConsulting ,

    From my experience with discord, more than one conversation is often happening at the same time in the same channel. For servers that are active enough, this can be as fast-paced as the chats in live streams.
    Trying to parse if the answer that "OrthoDonkulous" gave is for the question that "Headshots247" asked, that "ProgrammerSox" asked, or that "BelieveUsFoetusJesus" asked is sometimes difficult.

    DerisionConsulting ,

    It depends on what the goals of the project/group are.

    Roughly 100-(1/∞)% of the time I don't want anything involving video or sound, but I could see some projects/groups where things like streaming or audio would be useful.

    I don't have an issue with discord itself, it just seems to be being used as the default for nearly everything now, even when it shouldn't be.

    Every comment that correctly says that they are on some sovcit BS seems to be downvoted.

    DerisionConsulting ,

    When you say "I never agreed to it" as a retort to a comment that boils down to "I think that money is real", you are either using the same logic and talking points of a Sovcit.

    Maybe you are just wording things poorly, but you sound like a Sovcit.

    DerisionConsulting ,

    Lemmy formatting a little different from reddit. For superscript, you need carets on both sides.

    Not Employed, ^in^ Education, ^or^ Training
    Turns into
    Not Employed, ^in^ Education, ^or^ Training

    If you are using a Lemmy ap that did the formatting, please tell the devs. Basically none of the aps seem to do formatting correctly, and should be fixed.

    Who doesn't hunt bears?

    I would personally go with:

    "Some may say that Mr. Musk was a visionary, and further to the road map laid out by Mr. Musk during the Dealbook Summit, our organization is happy to assist with bringing said business forecast into reality."

    • Past tense on visionary
    • brings up him telling companies to "fuck off"
    • rubs it in that his financial people have clearly told him that this is how Xitter goes belly-up, and that when he tries to fix it, he just makes it worse.
    DerisionConsulting ,

    Take that person's post, comparing it to cooking.

    Sometimes you use a Library pre-made sauce or spice blend as part of a recipe, so you don't need to waste time remaking something that is commonly used.

    Every so often, a company will tweak the recipe for the things you are using, but it still basically tastes the same. Sometimes they just decide that now it's salty instead of sweet, so it would complete ruin the dish you would like to make.

    The recipe you are using assumes you live in Australia where the new version of the sauce/spice blend is more common, but where you live still only sells the old version.

    So now you can either wait for the store to sell the new sauce/spice blend, import it from Australia, or try to make it yourself. But you might have another recipe that still needs/uses the old sauce/spice blend. Needing to have both can lead to issues where you use the wrong one, ruining the food you are trying to make.

    This is where snaps, flatpaks, and appimages those dish-in-a-box kits come into play. They'll have the correct version of the spices/sauces you want, so it doesn't really matter which version you have in your kitchen.

    Snaps branded dish-in-a-box kits are developed by Canonical, and they can be kinda weird. You need to check for updates if you need to re-buy them manually, and you can only get them from the "Snaps Store". Other dish-in-a-box kits allow you to get them from whichever store you want, and will automatically re-order when needed.

    And that’s the main issue folks have taken with snaps. If you have 50+ programs are making a meal with 50+ dishes, and you need to constantly check if you need to rebuy them one by one, it gets old quickly.

    Also, Snaps takes up a lot of room, and generally just kinda suck compared to installing things normally or through flatpack.
