I only use it for /r/nfl now, that community is great at creating memes and posting highlights as soon as it happens and I still visit a few niche subreddits but they too got even smaller, probably a lot of us switched to just lurking instead of actively participating
My country’s sub got taken by a pro-government group, I used it to see the news and know what was happening there but now you can’t find any news that criticize the government or that show the country in a bad manner. We had a meme sub and that was taken over too so it became trash
At least you can make bread from old yeast
I hate ads, but sometimes prime puts 2 minutes of ads at the beginning of a show or a movie and then no ads, I’m ok-ish with this, much better than imdb or tubi that play the same commercial every 15 minutes
If I start a stream and it shows that it will have several breaks I stop it and get it from the high seas
Bought? I don’t remember, but I got free maps of Michigan when I moved here about 5 years ago. They were very useful when Google made me turn into a back road in the upper peninsula and then stopped working when I lost signal (when tho I had offline maps of the area downloaded)
I was discussing that with my parents a few nights ago, they claim that I’m a pessimist because I don’t want to bring children into this world but my hometown used to have about 5 snowdays a year, now is one every 5 years. The summer was hot but bearable and now the “heat dome” is a normal thing every year, and even when it rains it’s usually catastrophic with large hail and flooding
For being part of meta, Instagram is relatively good (Instagram let’s you pause suggested post, can easily modify your algorithm by telling it what not to show or what to show, can skip ads, for now, and it’s the best way to see good tik toks without going to that site), so it was just a matter of time it got enshitified
I wonder what they’ll do with WhatsApp next
This brought me memories. In college I had a Dell Mini with Intel atom 1st get. It was useless to run engineering apps like matlab or solidworks
I installed OSx86 and those apps ran a lot better using parallels than running natively on Windows, I was even able to play some games on it
Installed Mint last week after a ~10 year hiatus from using Linux (other than Debian on RPi)
I was surprised at how everything just works, even my network HP all-in-one worked after a simple “search for printer” and it also added it as a scanner without any input from me. In windows I had to install HPsmart software, login every few days for some reason and then some days it just refuses to work altogether
I also connected it to my home theater and I was able to set up 5.1 sound without any additional installations. In windows it took me several hours to fix this and sometimes the link between the laptop and the HT would be cut for some reason in the middle of a movie and I had to restart everything
Do you? I don’t own any apple device but I was able to reset the password on my very old account to use apple tv+ on my LG TV
I think Mexico too, or at least the paper name is “carta” and “oficio” which would translate to letter and legal (kinda)
Samsung’s replacement is $90 if done at a service center, so it was more expensive to buy the parts (because they included the screen for some reason)
Looks good! I’ll give it a try this weekend, thanks!
Edit: I just installed it, it looks great! I find it very funny that one of the apps I was worried about was the HP scanner and it worked seamlessly on mint without installing additional drivers or apps so I can stop using that stupid HP app
Edit2: I also found out that my windows installation (system, drivers, updates, other files that I cannot delete safely) takes about 70Gb out of my 250GB SSD, even after running many commands to try to clean it up
It’s a laptop with i3 gen 11, 12GB RAM, and I mainly use it for browsing, torrenting and watching movies (4K, connected to a TV)
I think I’ll do the same. I wasn’t switching because of compatibility but I realized that there are only 1 or 2 apps that don’t run natively and I don’t use them that often
Which distro do you recommend? I haven’t used linux in a while, I usually went with ubuntu but I think that’s not the go-to anymore?
For example:
