Interesting, I’ve never seen or heard of that before…

I have a e14 Thinkpad…with 8gb soldered ram

so I put a 16gb stick in

What?

Have you tried looking for the driver for your wireless card?

unless you have the web page pulled up and are looking at it, it will show you as Away instead of Available.

Mine always says away. It’s none of your business where I am or what I’m doing. Send me a message and I’ll get back to you at my earliest availability.

Most workplaces have switched to the cloud model. Google workspace, MS Teams (or w/e they call their work ecosystem?), Salesforce, etc. Pretty much everything these days runs in the browser. And fortunately almost all browsers run on Linux.

That being said, yes, they may provide hardware, and expect you to use it, and they probably wouldn’t allow for you to modify it.

The process is the same, even if the file paths are different. Being different does not make it inferior, or any less “ubiquitous” or “feasible”.

Windows users seem to want to just buy, have, and use a computer

That’s just not how I would describe Windows. It’s more like a digital bilboard with spyware that also runs programs. It actively prevents you from just using “your” computer.

You mod games on Linux the same way you mod them on Windows.

Yeah I used it. It’s not nearly as versatile.

Anytime they’re not printed. If it’s not printed, use a link. It makes no sense. I cannot scan a QR code on my phone with my phone.

I tried COSMIC for a couple months. It was very cool. But I just can’t get by without GNOME’s overview.

Ya know I tried for years to make QR codes a thing. Now they’re a thing but everyone uses them wrong and it drives me absolutely nuts.

The top bar shows you:

1. Date and time
2. What workspace you’re in
3. What apps you’re actively running
4. Internet connection
5. If Caffeine is running

These are all important information to have at a glance, in my opinion. If you don’t think so, you can remove it. Simple as.

I use it as well with automation and can confirm. Unfortunately with SimpleFin you do have to manually sync accounts but it’s a small price to pay. Just have to remember to hit the sync button when you open the dashboard.

Nowhere is safe from AI spam. At least these ones are obvious. Written spam is far easier to generate.

We’re going to need another project like SponsorBlock and Dearrow for labeling AI spam…

Because I like Linux?

I can read just fine. It’s very much a skill issue, in that I don’t know what any of the words mean and when I type them in they don’t work. I am not a “skilled” Linux user, and I don’t want to be. I just want a tool to use to complete the tasks I need done.

Most people do not know or care how computers work, nor should they. They only need to know how to use them as a tool to complete their tasks. Not having a GUI makes those tasks monumental in comparison. That’s why the GUI was created, after the terminal, and why virtually everyone uses it by default.

Not true at all. Anyone can simply click and scroll around a GUI to find what they need. The terminal is a literal black box that can’t do anything unless you know explicitly and exactly what to tell it.
