I did a bit of 1-D. Did a little bit of spring collab advanced lobby but heard that strawberry jam was a bit more polished so I've been trying the SJ expert lobby and it's very hard (~10 hours per level so far). I think it's in the sweet spot of difficulty for me rn
I've been playing a whole heck of a lot of Celeste lately. Been having a good time with some modded content after clearing all the vanilla content
I'm on a hollow knight replay (only played through it once) and getting stuck is just part of the ride
Seem pretty good from the factory to me. I've never hand lubed switches tho
I've been rocking some gateron oil kings. Been a nice time for me!

I did the same thing about a year ago, going to fedora (KDE) from windows. I've booted into windows about 5 times in the last year or so
Interesting post. There definitely has been an increase in autism diagnoses which stems from it being much more widely accepted and looked into. There are significant differences between what's described in the post and what I know of autism though. While I think what you show in this post is problematic, not 1:1 with autism at all IMO
I would personally say season 2 kinda missed the mark for me. Scale/power creep turned the story from being much more character driven to be this plot with a lot of odd threads IMO. That said season 1 is incredible. Probably the best show I've ever watched.
I found the combat to be quite annoying personally, so I can see where this is coming from. And having to replay for other endings was also annoying. I ended up just looking up the endings
I've shared commands with friends and they ask for them again. I imagine similar context here
I'll check it out then. Work involves using bash exclusively because it's embedded systems but I'll see if fish suits me for personal use. Thanks for the suggestions
I would want to continue to write my scripts with sh or bash, but is this something worth adopting for just regular shell navigation?
I've thought about it previously but it not being a default shell makes it reasonably less appealing for me.
Brain off. Guns go pew
Largely most distros shake out to be about the same. Anything that runs a more aggressive release cycle (Fedora, opensuse tumbleweed, etc) will support newer hardware better. Slower release cycles (debian, Ubuntu, etc) may not support the latest and greatest.
The more important pick will be your desktop environment (gnome, KDE, etc). This will impact how you use the system more. There's plenty of information out there but feel free to DM me if you have more specific questions
I really like this # idea. I've also taken to holding off on adding sudo when deleting privileged files
Thanks for sharing this article. It was a neat read
Interesting. I knew you were supposed to avoid just hanging out in your bed but I hadn't really considered Doing Something I consider as bed time routine in bed to be problematic. Thanks for the info!
Hey can you elaborate on the sleeping in bed point. I like to read a chapter or three before going to sleep, especially to get my eyes off a screen
- What are your reading habits like?
I try to read at a minimum a chapter a night. That said I read a lot thanks to my commute to and from work 3x per week. I seem to read about a book a week. I do it for pleasure and I've gotten better about not finishing books. Though I will probably finish a book even I'm not loving it. It has to be bad for me to not finish.
In being an avid reader I think it's important and valuable in reading some stuff that isn't as fun (mostly classics). That said I think people who don't read much can steer clear easily. It's a hobby and do whatever you like doing the most. - What do you like to read? Mostly fantasy or SciFi. Ive been branching out into more traditional fiction genres and I'll read some historical things from time to time. I'm not tied down to a genre but I find poorly written fantasy can get carried by cool concepts or world building.
- What kind of stage of life are you in, and how does that affect it? I just started my career and I've been reading all my life. My mum made sure I would read since I was quite young and I liked it. I've had ups and downs ans I definitely read more now than I did in high school and university thanks to my long commute.
- What else? I'll reiterate, do what you like even if it is to not read. Live life your way. That said, if you wanna get into reading, setting yourself a page or chapter target daily is a good place to start. Don't worry about how many books you read in a period. Sit back and find enjoyment in what you are reading or did read, not stress in what you didn't read.
I'll throw you a book recommendation because it's always gotten me out of a reading slump: the Scorpio races by Maggie stiefvater. It's targeted at younger folks but I think it's an extremely enjoyable read still and has plenty to Enjoy for anyone
Discord notification badges disappeared going from Fedora 39 to 40
On Fedora 39 I installed libunity to get notification badges on Discord but on upgrading to Fedora 40 I seem to have lost them. I still have libunity installed and I tried removing it and reinstalling it and it still dosen't work.
I'm using the native package on the KDE spin if that changes anything.
Would love to see if you guys have any ideas! Thanks
Wayland cursr equivalent
I have 2 different resolution monitors (2560x1440 and 1920x1080) and I dislike that my mouse gets stuck at the transition where the smaller display is not aligned with the bigger one. I use cursr to fix that but I can't find an alternative that works on wayland and that's pretty well the only thing stopping me from making the full transition.
Thanks in advance to any recommendations!
Edit: this reddit post outlines my exact problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/wayland/comments/1bcnj6l/mouse_trapped_dual_monitor_with_different/
Removing GNOME packages from KDE install
I installed GNOME on my KDE fedora install some time ago not realizing it would litter my install with gnome apps. Wondering if there's a safe and easy way to remove them. Everyone online seems to say that removing a DE risks uninstalling a lot of stuff and thought I should ask here to be sure.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
No visual output shortly after boot
Lately, when booting up my linux machine (Fedora 39 KDE), everything looks good until about 30s after I log in. Then both screens go black with no output, and shortly after that they light up as if there is a signal but I don't seen anything.
I've tried accessing a TTY but nothing changes on the displays. The only solution I can find is pressing the reset button on the PC, and then I have no problem on the following boot. I'm not really too sure where to start looking regarding solutions. Would really appreciate any input you guys have to solving this problem.
Just moved to Linux: a follow up
I recently made a post discussing my move to Linux on Fedora, and it's been going great. But today I think I have now become truly part of this community. I ran a command that borked my bootloader and had to do a fresh install. Learned my lesson with modifying the bootloader without first doing thorough investigation lol.
Fortunately I kept my /home on its own partition, so this shouldn't be too bad to get back up and running as desired.
Just moved to linux
So I've been wanting to try to move to linux for the past few months but have been waiting to be done school, so I could the MS office suite behind me. I'm mostly writing this to share my experience for people who are considering switching.
I finally wiped my laptop to use as a test environment and installing and using it went really well so I went straight to dual booting my main PC with windows (some games I play need to be on windows for now). I started with trying opensuse tumbleweed because I wanted to try to KDE since gnome didnt vibe as well with me in my experience with Ubuntu VMs. It worked great on my laptop but the experience felt quite laggy on my desktop (if anyone has any ideas as to why, I would love to hear them). After fiddling around with installing codecs for a few hours I decided to try out KDE fedora.
This has been working super duper well so far out of the box. No sluggishness, everything's been easy to install and whenever I need to change any settings a qu
Setting up Baikal
I've managed to set up a baikal server to sync my calendars and tasks instead of using a free cloud service provided by nextcloud. I'm able to reach it from beyond my local network, but this is all very new to me and I'm a little worried about what permanently leaving a port open for this.
I'm hoping to find some resources for securing this, before leaving it up all the time. I suppose as an alternative I can always only run it at home and only sync when I'm home but this seems less ideal.
Thanks a bunch for the help in advance. I really appreciate it.
Help finding an old text based game
There was a post on lemmy a couple of weeks ago about an old, hard, I think text based game. I wanted to look it up but forgot the name and I can't seem to find it anymore. Any help with this would be really appreciated.
Edit: I don't think it's on the list of text based games on Wikipedia. I've added a comment with some meagre details I can remember
The post referred to it being something they always went back to and it being a lightweight game (maybe from the 90s)
I found it!!! Nethack is what I was looking for. Not text based but ascii. Sorry for the super vague question. It was mentioned in passing on some forum talking about ascii/text-based games.
The post I was referring to: https://lemmy.world/post/1570921
Thank you
God bless whoever made this community. I love this game so much and am very happy to see it here on lemmy :)
Joined the magfrotto crew
I was using some laptop stands/risers to test out whether I was interested in tenting my board or not and really really liked it so I went ahead with the magfrotto approach. I replaced the manfrotto tripods with these z-stands for the more possible angles and also because they're wayyy cheaper (20$ a piece).
Thanks to the person who came up with this idea. It's super solid, the keyboard doesn't move at all with the magsafe stickers. Highly recommended.
E: after many attempts I have successfully embedded image in post lol
Learning a new layout
I've decided to jump back into learning a new layout, specifically semimak JQ, from Dvorak. I've heard that as long as I practice both I should be able to maintain Dvorak while I learn semimak.
I was wondering if people here had any experience learning new layouts could share some insight for that?
Any other tips would be very appreciated. I'm sitting at somewhere around 26wpm on semimak atm, and 130-140 on Dvorak
adding monthly member number when searching for communities
The jerboa app does this, and it helps when searching for a community to see how many people use it, especially when there are multiple across different instances.
That said, I don't really know how accurate their number is so maybe it's not super viable
Is there a way to either re-order or remove an instance in the list?
Specifically, I would like to move lemmy.world lower down the list as it's not my main instance. Not sure if this is something that can be done at present or not?
Can I follow a specific account on Lemmy?
Basically just just the title. I thought I read somewhere I can do that, but I don't see the option to when I find the account in trying to follow. Thanks in advance for any answers
