Don’t let Lemmy mislead you into thinking Linux is a drop-in replacement or easy to switch to. It’s a difficult process that takes learning, but hopefully you’ll find it worthwhile. Good luck with your troubleshooting.

This has really made me lose faith in a defederated system like this.

@Anyone: please let me know if I’m wrong about these and if there’s a solution, but as far as I can see:

• I can’t export my account (most importantly all the posts and comments I’ve saved).
• It’s difficult to find where a server is based.
• Some instances seem to be solo hobby projects. I don’t want to pick another instance that is at risk of being killed.

Talk radio station. Starts at low volume and builds up slowly. Calm voices are the most relaxed sound to wake up to. Tried all sorts of other sounds and they’re all too abrasive to wake up to.

This feels like homework.

A nun and three men? They’re still making this content today!

When I look back at pictures of my kids when they were newborn, they look like little rats. Still were genuinely cute at the time. They just don’t photograph well.

He wants you to throw the stick with dog attached.

I’ll still play with this when I go to pick up my kid from nursery.

We are the breakers of the wind.

AskLemmy…if you don’t ask in the post, then you will be asked in the comments.

I never go in. Only out.

That’s not the point they’re making at all.

The point is when a website password breeds needs to be changed, then it won’t conform to the system anymore. Now you need to make a new system, or remember this particular exception.

I had a system with a number in it. Any time a password change was needed then I would add 1 to the number. I might have to try two or the times to get the password right if I’ve changed it for the third time.

Agree with all that. “The year of Linux” will be built up to incrementally; and the fact that gaming is so good on Linux pushes that a long way.

The Steam Deck is what pushed me to change to full-time PC Linux myself. Having hardware with pre-installed Linux that works flawlessly has been great.

Mine was a pre-release preorder as well.

I wouldn’t upgrade it now. Knowing me, I’ll probably end up waiting till 2027 and buy a secondhand device from 2026.

I mostly play indie 2D games, so games I want still work fine. The revised Deck has a bunch of improvements I would have liked (OLED, WiFi 6, etc). If there are enough improvements in usability (screen, WiFi, size, battery, hardware power), then I’ll upgrade and give the old device to my kids (who currently use it for more than 75% of the time anyway).

I hope so too, but I don’t think a shift that big is coming any time soon.

Linux users are still a tiny proportion of the online player base. Steam Deck sales are negligible compared to Switch or console sales.

I hope it happens eventually,but I think it’s going to take much longer for AAA gaming corps to take Linux seriously.

Hyped about the devices we’re going to see over the next year or so. Should be just in time to replace my first release Steam Deck as a noticeable upgrade.

If you’re looking for a “life hack” to make any exercise instantly enjoyable, then that’s really not going to happen.

But you sound like you’re motivated to start exercising so that’s great. You can add this in layers to make this genuinely enjoyable:

1. find something you like (for me: weight lifting and squash are fun. Running and swimming are hell)

2. Decide on a fixed time (for me: 10pm every day is designated for exercise)

3. Make it as simple as possible and remove as many barriers as possible (for me: I don’t sit to watch TV or play video games close to exercise time, otherwise I know I’m not going to get up again. I put on exercise clothes when I get home from work so I’m already ready when the time comes).

4. Add something else that’s really enjoyable (For me: I have a TV series that I only watch when I’m in the gym. So if I want to find out what happens next, I’ll have to go to the gym tomorrow.)

5. Make this routine (once you’re habituated to doing this regularly, then it stops taking will power to force yourself and is just embedded in your routine)

6. Forgive yourself for missing sessions (any time you miss a session, it doesn’t matter, you’ll start making progress again any time you start exercising again)

7. Make it social (some people love this and you can do exercise with someone. I personally hate that and I love the meditative solitude of exercise time)

I came to say, the top pic is pretty metal too.

I haven’t found any. Anything of that sort would need heavy handed and laborious moderation and would lend itself to quite a lot of bias from moderators. Your best bet is to do this sort of thing locally with a small group of friends (or internet friends).
