No but if anyone is crazy enough to try please share pics 😀

(I would try but… I only have an old laptop that can’t even manage step 1… those Win 11 hardware requirements ) 💀

I’m definitely impressed !

I didn’t think of that ! 🤯 There definitely would be a way to do something even stupider with multiple PC

I really want to try it because I can’t resist stupid projects, but I’m stuck on a crappy old Thinkpad for now, and it probably would die at step 1 install Windows 11 😅 So it’s only theoretical for now, but I hope to try it whenever I get a new PC !

Using tldr to learn commands. It gives you the information you are probably looking for in the man page but it’s not buried among lines and lines and lines of arcane stuff and it’s formatted in a readable way with helpful examples. Saved my sanity more than once.

I’m not saying “don’t read the man pages”, they are great way to get a deeper understanding of commands. But when you are just wondering what a command does and how it’s commonly used, then a two lines summary + example is much more helpful than an essay going in minute details over everything.

Since it takes a lot less time than hunting the same info in the man page, you can run it before every command you are not familiar with, without too much hassle. Then if you want more info you can check the man page.

Oh I get that, just looking for someone has never worked for me either, it’s so much effort and so little chance of working out that I just can’t be bothered. The relationships I had were with people I met through common interests. Like an IRL meeting of an online RPG and stuff like that. It’s so much easier to get to know people when you already have things in common, you can skip most of the annoying parts. Wish I had a cat too, though !

Thanks for the tip I always forget about the 32 bit thing and then wonder why stuff doesn’t work 😅

Wait how did I watch so many videos of this channel in preparation for switching to Nix but miss this one ? 😂 (Thanks !)

Thanks it’s reassuring to know ! I mostly use steam, lutris and minigalaxy (better DLC management than lutris for gog games) so it will be nice if I can keep them 🙂 I didn’t know protontricks so thanks for the recommendation !

Thanks a lot ! I’ll try it when my gaming computer is repaired 😀 I’m on a laptop with an intel GPU in the meantime so hopefully it will be easier

Yes that really sucks… I’m glad I’m a straight woman so I don’t have it as bad, I just don’t know how guys who have the same problem manage 🫤

Talking to people I don’t know and initiating conversations in general. If the other person doesn’t approach me first, I can’t do it myself. I’m not much into dating, but it’s really inconvenient for socializing in general.

Nothing yet, I’m still trying to figure out how to get my orange pi working… not much progress yet because I am just starting and making a server is very intimidating 😅 For now I’d like to just get it working so I can access a hard drive, and if I manage that and feel very daring, then pihole, jellyfin and home assistant.

Cat pictures ? Definitely the best possible use of a server 😄

Whohoo it’s nice to hear good news concerning the gaming industry for a change 🥳

Wow thanks, I’m definitely going to alias that :)

I thought I had left that crap behind years ago when I ditched Internet Explorer for Firefox, and then Firefox for Waterfox… but since switching to linux a few months ago I haven’t managed to install it so I’ve been stuck with Firefox… 😠 Time to try Librewolf I guess.

As a general rule :

• Never doing stuff that will take care of itself. Since the dishes want to dry themselves, it’d be really rude to prevent them from doing so by manually wiping them.
• Minimising the time spent in pointless effort for things that will need to be undone. So never making my bed, only folding clothes that really need folding and that I won’t use soon, etc.

Random stuff :

• When cooking, making food for several meals at a time.
• Using a rice cooker (or other appliances that cook food for you and that you don’t need to watch).
• Using several laundry bags, one for each type of laundry program or liquid, so that it’s already pre-sorted and I can see easily if there’s enough in one bag for a wash. It avoids going through everything only to find there’s not enough black clothes/white clothes/delicate clothes/towels/bedsheets/whatever for a laundry.
• Never using laundry clips. They take too long to put and remove. Instead I use hangers and S hooks, and for the small items that can’t be hung on hooks and won’t stay on hangers like gloves and socks, I just dump them on a shelf made of metal bars (there’s folding ones you can put on a radiator).
• After doing laundry, leaving clothes I will probably wear soon where they hang instead of folding them and putting them in their place only to have to take them out later.
• Having a “to put in bathroom” and “to put in kitchen” basket where I put stuff I need to put back in the bathroom and kitchen, so I don’t have to walk there for every item.
• Not putting a duvet in a cover because it’s very tiring and I really hate doing it. Instead I sandwich it between two larger bedsheets.

On my computer :

• Keybinding every frequent apps and actions, rofi almost everything else (apps, ssh, file browser in some cases, calculator, unit converter). Saves a lot of time, pain and aggravation by not clicking so much all the time.
• Using ‘vim -y’ for simple text editing cause I don’t have months to spare learning regular vim, or years reconfiguring emacs’ shorcuts, just to take some notes or make an ASCII drawing. And nano’s shortcuts make my brain hurt almost as much as emacs make my hands hurt. (To be fair, I probably would save more time in the long run by just learning vim but my brain starts going “NOOOPE I’m on strike” whenever I consider doing it ^_")
• I’m considering trying NixOS because I keep wasting time forgetting if I already configured something, how I did it, what settings I used, etc, and having a declarative config file instead with everything listed in it seems much more practical.

« Ad funded » ? Don’t they mean « Google funded » ?

NOOOOOO please you’re reawakening 20+ years of accumulated Windows trauma 😭 😭 😭

That was so confusing and stressful I don’t know how I --or anyone-- survived the mental strain of regularly troubleshooting Windows
