I’m pretty sure it’s a cucumber plant. I planted them for the first time this year and they grow those little things to grab onto stuff for support. It’s really neat!

Why does foodgiver sleep when its playtime?

I was employed at this awesome little school but left before Desantis’s stupid anti-woke and DEI crusade. I hope it and the current students/employees don’t suffer too much. I doubt Desantis gets voted out…

Yup, Google Now was actually useful and helpful, so of course they had to get rid of it.

That looks like ranch dressing.

Does set-default-sink change an already current stream? Or do you need move-sink-input.

I’ve looked at the manpages but was a bit overwhelmed and didn’t try to make my own script. Your solution gives me motivation to do so. I also use sway and pipewire. Though I use fuzzel for my launcher.

pavucontrol. I switch between usb headset and my external speakers all the time. Continually going to this gui is kind of annoying.

Sorry, stupid reference. In seriousness though, type in a topic into your library’s search and start browsing, check out a few that seem useful.

I’m an academic and I find my University’s library useful for finding knowledge on a new topic. If an introductory textbook exists on the subject, can be a good starting point.

For Most hobbies though, youtube is a great resource. I’ve gotten into woodworking and fishing, and youtube is a superb resource for information.

My first linux install was crunchbang. I don’t remember why I picked it. Perhaps i liked the minimalistic look. Ended up not really liking openbox and I vaguely remember running into some problem with debian’s old packages, though I honestly can’t remember what. So I switched to ubuntu, which was great for me as a linux noob.

Not open source, but i’ve been happy with weawow. Free and ad-free.

I’m a big fan of a pizza stone. Wasn’t too expensive and works well for reheating or fresh home-made pizza.

“Sailing is like standing in a cold shower ripping up $100 bills.”

I had a sailboat for a bit when I lived in Vegas. I absolutely loved sailing. I had a relatively small, cheap boat which was fine for lake mead. It was still expensive though. Everything continuously breaks on a boat.

If I hadnt gotten my dream job in Colorado I would have wanted to live near the ocean and own a sailboat.

A long time ago most airlines checked at least one bag free. I used to always do this and as op suggests, not stand in line. It was great not having to take a bag through security and haul it around through airports and connecting flights, and avoid the stress of if the overhead space would run out.

But airlines have done everything in their power to make boarding and the whole flying process miserable in attempt to suck every dollar they can from you for their upgrades and priority boarding.

I do often take advantage of the airlines offer to “we expect a very full flight, overhead space is limited, and will check your bag for free to your final destination”

I just built a amd 7600 system in January 2024 and had no issues. Not sure that counts as very new but it was for me!

I dumped ubuntu for debian 12 due to snaps, and i’m very happy so far. I run sway as my window manager. I guess we’ll see how i feel in a year but i honestly can’t think of any software i run that i’m simply fine with it not being the most recent. I’m even using the firefox-esr version that debian ships with and it’s fine.

Have an amd card. Have never done any special steps to update my graphics card, as amd drivers are just built into the kernel. I used to have a nvidia card and it was like 2 or 3 commands to enable proprietary drivers and was then always notified and updated with my usual software package upgrades.

Granted i haven’t run windows for over 15 years but I remember having to go to nvidia’s website and manually download and install new nvidia drivers to update. Is this still true? If so, this is simply objectively worse.

I’ll agree with a decent amount of gaming. Unless it’s steam, getting wine set up, even with lutris, can be a hassle.

Same here. It’s a great size. Probably going to hold on to it as long as possible. Keep being disappointed that newer pixels keep getting bigger.

Board games at a local game store. Many will have a board game night.

I teach an electronics class and a barebones version of this is one of the early logic gate labs: an SR latch built using NAND gates. It can set and reset a bit!

User you are replying to wasn’t replying to OP?

Maybe my reading comprehension is bad, but it seemed obvious to me user was replying to a specific comment seeing how it was a reply to that nerd comment instead of OP and post used the phrase “this comment”.
