I do use that sometimes. I was able to use it to look at similar laptop models to my Thinkpad to inform my purchase. I then uploaded a probe when I got my hands on it.

I see the need for posts with recommendations in some ways, though - neither the main site or the forum are the easiest to parse, and it doesn’t have every computer model. It is nice to have a human to guide you - it just isn’t so nice when the community starts to get cluttered with these requests.

Honestly part of it is some of these people just don’t do online research, and they might not read the community rules anyway, but it would be nice if we had an explicit rule that hardware recommendations either go to the annual post or be for very oddly specific needs.

I have been using Debian - it’s the only distro I’ve used in my 3 years of Linux as a daily driver, and I started using it in VMs instead of Ubuntu a while before that.

I also like stability and Debian’s community-oriented nature.

I am currently on Testing for my desktop, but plan to either go stable or do a reinstall when Trixie hits stable - I’m tired of rolling release and my programs changing frequently. I have really enjoyed Debian 12 + Flatpaks on my Thinkpad, so I think I will do that when summer rolls around.

Oh certainly. OP is probably doing something wrong. This was just a good excuse to vent about real problems with GTK.

On another note, I sometimes get tired of “Please recommend a good laptop” posts - they’re always just the same old advice: “I liked my Framework” or “Get a Thinkpad”.

I kind of wonder if we could just have an annual mega-post for Linux hardware that gets pinned and mentioned in the server links. For example, “(Pinned) Linux Hardware 2025”. Then we have a rule that you don’t do hardware recommendation posts unless it’s something extremely oddly specific, like “Best Linux hardware for a Pentium II build” or maybe even a question about people’s experiences with VFIO on recent motherboard.

I mean, this might be a bit more your fault in this case, but I agree with the sentiment.

They’re always changing something about the CSS sheets, and I find it a pain to develop for, granted it’s been a few years since I last touched it, and on a very hobbyist level at that. I quickly switched to Qt for that project. Now I use wxWidgets, which I guess just uses GTK, but I like that I don’t have to directly deal with GTK.

Meanwhile, me:

My head canon is there is a different Musk they’re talking about that isn’t a Nazi, and Lorca’s name drop was mirror universe stuff. 😂

Well, this is from Cast Your Pod to the Wind, which is full of rejects from The Else and random podcast tracks - granted some of them are really darn good rejects like “Brain Problem Situation”.

I think my taste is also skewed towards the weird semi-experimental tracks in general - I am a big “If Day for Winnipeg”.

You’ve got quite a bit - it’s in TNG S4, so you’ve still got all of TAS (if you choose. If you’re thinking about skipping, at least watch Yesteryear), the first few movies, and the first three seasons and six episodes of TNG to go before you hit this glorious staple who will last through DS9.

As long as it’s in Debian, I’ll use it.

Honestly, I’m tempted to move This Might Be Lemmy from lemmy.sorld, considering federation issues, if it would be allowed.

Actually, Mirror Chakotay was depicted in Prodigy (along with mirror Janeway). He likes to torture people like any good Terrain boi.

Excuse me. “Boss of Me” is early 2000’s music, thank you very much. 😑😂

I like OpenStreetMaps’s solution. (Though you’ll have to dig a little - they don’t show names for large bodies of water like that by default.)

I do admit that while I found the plot ridiculous, I did find the character’s story interesting. It’s hard to go wrong with holodeck episodes, honestly.

I though of an interesting story based on that where from childhood, someone accidentally lives an entire simulated life based on the real world 20-40 years in the past and becomes a Starfleet officer in the simulation (down to a fake 4 years at the Academy, maybe with holo Boothby). The holodeck then gets shut off by real Starfleet officers. Besides the obvious emotional story, it would also be interesting if the simulation was accurate enough that the person’s experience made the captain decide to make them a provisional officer at the end of the episode.

I would agree season 3 is a great season.

I agree that the species was doomed, but I still feel like repeating a grief story was a bit insane.

I feel like the marketing for Artificial Idiocy comes down to three words: “Resistance is futile.”

As put aptly by one text (which I have yet to read): “When you trick somebody into participating in a small-time fraud, it’s called a ‘scam’. But when the scam is so big that people have no choice but to participate, it’s called ‘economics.’”

Man, I swear in DS9:“Bar Association” that Rom had the 2016 DC Flintstones comic pulled up on his PADD while doing research.

P.S Like the person in the video, I too use Linux.

Wasn’t he always kind of a cartoonish mustache twirler? I mean, he basically invaded Cardassia after the manipulation of his meme-ishly large ego.

The truth is Gowron is a cartoon, and that’s why we love him.

The secret about TNG:“Cause and Effect” is that it took place on February 2nd, 2368. 😉

Rom before becoming Nagus: “One day, Brother will die and I’ll get the money.”
