  • Why is bicycle riding so controversial in America?

    Jump

  • I was only complaining about bikes trying to ride through crowds in pedestrian only areas and not stopping at crosswalks, but jaywalking is a stupid crime anyway. pedestrians should always have the right of way unless you are like jumping out in front of a vehicle where they would have to slam on the brakes

  • I barely notice them when I'm driving, I'm mostly talking about when I'm walking. But yeah obviously it's not every bicycle, but it is a lot in my area

  • I mean I feel like if you're on any type of vehicle, no matter what the law says you need to yield to pedestrians

    Jump

  • I think part of it is that there are a lot of bike riders in US cities that are jerks, especially to pedestrians. When I'm crossing the street, bikes and scooters virtually never stop for me and just try to weave around me, and I once got hit by a scooter that was illegally riding on the sidewalk, which they constantly do here. I'm certainly not anti-bike because of that, but I can kind of understand why some people would be

  • How to start as a not very tech savy person

    Jump

  • Yeah but you kind of need codecs from packman or you're going to have a bad time if you want like streaming or video calls. Unless more things are included out of the box now?

  • As someone who uses and likes tumbleweed I don't know if I would recommend it for inexperienced users. Once you start adding third party repositories for things like video codecs, dependency issues can get really nasty. Zypper will always offer you solutions to resolve them, but if you aren't careful which one you select you can easily do stuff like accidentally remove your network driver which is a very annoying problem to have

  • Want to play the latest multiplayer games? Just go into your bios settings or upgrade your PC if it doesn't have TPM chip.

    Jump

  • Exactly, and you'll save tons of money too. ETS2 goes on sale for $5, stardew valley for $7.50, vintage story doesn't go on sale but it's only $22. All games that are way more fun, way less buggy, and have way more replay value than every piece of triple a junk i've played

  • I'm sure you could manage to do a lot of things without a terminal on something like Fedora or Mint, but you really should just learn to use the command line. If you're expecting it to be anything close to the windows command line it is not, it's way easier to use and you'll be able to do things so much faster than you ever could with a gui on windows. Learning everything you really need shouldn't take more than a couple hours.

    The one other option I can think of is ChromeOS Flex, but even there you're going to have a way better experience if you learn to do things from the command line when appropriate

  • You're given $20,000 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency) to spend, but anything still left by the end of the day you lose for good. What are you spending it on?

  • Homebrew, de facto standard package manager for macOS, now forces Apple's $99/yr notarization bullshit for all casks.

    Jump

  • It's crazy how bad software compatibility on macos is. I used to assume it was about the same or slightly better than linux in that regard, but my attempts to help my friend play games on macos have almost entirely failed despite the fact that I have tons of experience playing games on linux since it's always been my main os

  • What you do with your windows button on your keyboard?

    Jump

  • I have lots of shortcuts bound to it except I never press it because I have the caps lock key mapped to the same keycode and that's easier to press

  • Why go through the trouble to use Arch?

    Jump

  • Honestly it's the most problem-free distribution I've used. I've used fedora, ubuntu, opensuse, and they all are way easier to break and way harder to fix. Once you get arch working it works really reliably and when it occasionally breaks it's easy to fix. I used nixos for a while, and it is more reliable but it's just a little too much effort.

    Can we possibly do without apps on PCs ?

  • Opensuse dysphoria unlocked. But I guess I'm also a debian, arch, and nixos user so it cancels out

  • What software do you use to aggregate email in a single interface?

    Jump

  • (Which you can disable, luckily. I still use the classic layout with the table of emails on top and the selected email below)

  • Linux terminal with text selection

    Jump

  • I think if we want something like that to be consistent everywhere we need to stop using Ctrl so much as a modifier for non-terminal tasks. It doesn't solve everything, but using Alt or Super for copy and paste like Haiku and MacOS do is a big step in the right direction. It's just hard to change an established custom without making the whole experience less consistent
