TBF I’m branching out and I just installed Debian on my second laptop and I like that too. But Ubuntu’s been mighty good to me for a lot of years as a reliable workstation and server VM in Proxmox.
Why do bots
Suddenly appear? 🐦
“Linux good, Windows bad lol” which is a dumb take
Nope, this is the objectively correct take :)
Oh shit, that’s awesome, thanks for the heads up!
I recently had this issue needing to run Excel macros. I ended up using Oracle Virtualbox to run Windows from inside linux. Even more linuxey is using Proxmox to run your Windows VMs but that’s a bit more of a faff.
I’m reminded of the original #RIPBOZO guy.
That’s pretty disingenuous - it’s one of the many reasons that comprise a pattern of behavior whereby Microsoft makes Windows worse at each iteration. More bloat, more spying, more locked-down for user “security”. And for what? The dubious benefit of being “compatible” with other shitheel software providers like Adobe who use their monopoly power to stranglehold the corporate and professional media sectors? Toeachizown but IDK how anyone can use Windows by choice. The small amount I have to use it at work is torture enough.
I have used Ubuntu as the daily driver for the last 10 years, because support and tools are widespread and easy, and I don’t need any extra pain in my life. Drivers are mostly present and working upon a clean install, and in the one case where the touchpad wasn’t recognized, it was super easy to find an ubuntu forum post containing a 1-line command to fix it. But everybody says i should hate it and use Mint instead.
I’m open to give it a go, but in general, will most of the tutorials and fixes you find for Ubuntu also work with Mint?
I heard some of the really wealthy Silicon Valley types kit out their own private laboratory and hire chemists.
Why is gatekeeping straightness even such an interesting topic people fixate over so much? Contrapoints “Are Traps Gay?” video provided some quite compelling answers to that question FWIW.
The universe started from a mysterious dot, we’re apes in clothes, and one day we will all be dust. It seems weird af to devote so much energy to worrying about the rules of which genitals interlock with which.
I joined Twitter fairly recently as Machine Learning Twitter is/was a thing, and I wanted to stay abreast of news from people like Andrej Karpathy, Chris Olah, Andrew Ng etc., especially since r/MachineLearning went down the shitter.
But I can’t even - I log on and just instantly see ragebait posts from Daily Mail talking heads and bullshit.
Are there any better alternatives for this purpose?
I can’t help feeling a lot of these new motorized doodads are total deathtraps. I used to have a 40mph kaabo electric scooter and although it was mega fun, I sold it before it had a chance to kill me. Small wheels, poor geometry for stability, small caster angle, intoxicatingly high power - it’s a recipe for disaster.
Was Lemmy always like this, or did it become this way after the mass reddit exodus?
I used to use FL Studio, but hated using Windows. I got almost all features (including VSTs) to work in Ubuntu under Wine, but had a problem with WineASIO, which I seemed to require to use the USB sound card properly.
Because of that, I since changed to a DAW called REAPER which is built natively for Linux and works flawlessly and is very nice. There is a program called Yabridge to help run Windows VSTs. I even got more complicated plugins with authentication like Addictive Drums 2 to work using Wine no problem.
If you want a fully FOSS solution there is Ardour which is also great but a little less slick than Reaper IMO.
