  • Have you aged out of playing sports? How did you handle it?

    Jump

  • At 41 I switched to Jiu-Jitsu which isn't any safer but is even more fun. Unsure why so many of us old guys do BJJ but it's a thing.

  • Being a "middle" user is the most difficult

  • This is very true. Linux is great if you just want to check email, or if you want to compile your kernel or dig into incredibly esoteric config files. But if you want to do something between those 2 extremes, the learning curve is extremely steep. My Windows box and Mac Mini both do all the things I want them to, but my Linux box keeps breaking and I don't trust it with anything important. I usually try to do things on Linux first, but when it inevitably breaks I switch over to Mac and get it done in a tenth of the time.

    I'm sure I could get my Linux box to do everything I want. I'm busy and I don't want to fight with it and spend all my time learning about its eccentricities. I want to point and click and occasionally modify a text file.

  • Has Charlie Kirk ever changed his views on a subject during a debate?

    Jump

  • Okay, what's the truth then? Cite your evidence.

  • Hypothetical-- you can only choose two cuisines to eat for the rest of your life. What might they be?

    Jump

  • Absolutely, I just said two types of pizza as a dumb joke.

  • New York style pizza and Chicago style pizza. I can't see this going poorly for me, ever.

  • What is your favourite metal song?

    Jump

  • Good! That would be really embarrassing if we both quoted Metallica songs in our HS yearbooks. Which we definitely did not.

  • What are the most upbeat songs with kind of depressing lyrics?

    Jump

  • Oops, I messed up my capitalization. I just meant nearly every song by them.

    Jump

  • Nearly Everything by Reel Big Fish. It's all fun ska and mostly about social anxiety, broken hearts, and substance abuse. I love them.

  • What are the odds that we are all in a simulation?

    Jump

  • For my mom the year of the Linux desktop it's already over

    Jump

  • Loool, all the people who are trying to help you troubleshoot are 1) probably correct and 2) completely missing the point. I have a Windows desktop, a Mac, and a Linux desktop at home and this kind of shit only happens on Linux these days.

  • 5 Open Source Apps You Can use for Seamless File Transfer Between Linux and Android

    Jump

  • Weird about Syncthing, it works for me on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. But I find file permissions difficult so that could be it.

    It's nice for my use case: I tend to download things on my phone but I often want them stored permanently on my computer, so I just dump them in a Syncthing folder and It takes care of the transfer automatically. Once it's on my computer my backup program (Backblaze) will back it up too. But not everyone has that particular use case so it's not for everyone.

  • What is your most lukewarm take?

    Jump

  • That's with cause.

  • Americans have been trained to hate foreigners by Fox News, which is owned by a foreigner.

    Jump

  • Billionaires and reactionaries have no state.

  • What book did you read last and what book are you currently reading? Would you recommend either of those books?

    Jump

  • Last: The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism

    Current: A Short History of Nearly Everything

    Lest you think I'm bragging, the one before that was Omegaverse fanfic.

  • Everything you know is wrong.

  • i think that a lot of the value of art comes from the effort.

    Many things that we do are only worthwhile because of the difficulty.

    I think this is one of the biggest disconnects between people who create art and people who don't (me). I don't understand this sentiment at all. I don't care how much effort a piece of art took or what the process was, I care about the output. But I know lots of people who create art and this stuff about the process and difficulty really seems to matter to them. Which is fine, they are entitled to like what they like, but I just don't get it.

    I don't like AI art because it steals from artists and looks like crap, but the fact that it's easy doesn't matter to me.

    I wonder if this is part of the disconnect between artists and AI boosters (I am neither).

  • Lemmy, what's the meaning, or point if you prefer, of life? I know 42, but I'm serious. Nothing lasts, everything is meaningless - are we just amusing ourselves until death?

  • Curiosity has not killed any Martian cats

    Jump

  • That you know of.

  • How can I start getting familiar with the plants, trees and animals around where I live?

    Jump

  • I like the iNaturalist app: https://www.inaturalist.org/. When I see something I'm interested in whether plant or animal, I upload a picture and it tells me what it thinks it is. And they're trying to collect good data about flora and fauna so there are volunteers who review submissions and agree or correct it, so it's not just an algorithm doing the work. Obviously when you upload it it's a computer making a guess but people usually review the uploads later, and you can get emails with the results of those reviews.

    Someone else mentioned Merlin for birds, which is cool because it can do image ID or bird call ID.
