I honestly don’t care at this point. New Ariel sucks not because they switched her to black, but because it just sucks as a whole. The only thing that’s actually kinda pissing me off is…

…could we stop swapping gingers with blacks? Please? Pretty please? Both are minority, ffs. But one is even kinda rarer than the other. Go on, switch the blondie, but leave the ginger as ginger ;-;

Most distributions have detailed instructions on their sites, like Linux Mint. But overall, it amounts to:

1. Choose disteibution
2. Download it’s installation image ( I recommend LiveUSB version - it will allow you to check if you like it first and most distributions have them )
3. Prepare bootable usb stick ( I recommend Rufus for that )
4. When done, reboot your computer choosing usb drive as boot
5. If LiveUSB version, check out whether you like what you see and if everything works. If you like it, there should be install app on desktop
6. Proceed with install process. For most linuxes, it’s 1:1 windows installation process, minus ads and forcing you into online stuff.
7. Enjoy linux ^^

Edit: Also, you can simply download distributions en masse and boot them up in VirtualBox or something to check them out without making USB each time. Allows bypassing requirement of LiveUSB too - you can just install it in its box. However not all distributions like being virtual boxxed

Short Hipocrisy version, because people I also wrote books there:

Windows sucks your data and tries to put ads everywhere. Linux is a type of operating system, that is free and open source - everybody can make their version. Thus, there are no ads, and the moment they try to spy on you, community picks up the torches. So, people who know their stuff rally behind linux. HOWEVER. Linux isn’t windows - it doesn’t support the same programs and needs you to fight off command line anxiety.

Today linux is basically botherless to work with, but even then, I still had to boot up command line to install some old ass drivers or some shit.

Heck, what’s more - there’s only one/two version of active windows, but there’s many linux distributions (which are the “made by other folk” version I talked before), so you can pick the one that fits you. Most folks recommend Linux Mint as it’s the most Windows like experience, but if you like chromebooks there’s also Peppermint OS, and if you want full versatility there’s also Debian.

Welcome to 1,000 games of minesweeper/tetris/flappybird! With, maybe, two or three more advanced games like Thrive or Endless Sky.

Courage - I know the consequences and can bear them to achieve what I need

Stupidity - The risk is calculated, but I suck at math.

About lemmy.world - when running from reddit, it was literally first on the list of advised ones everywhere. Also, biggest, so it had most communities. I am actually pretty much only aware of .world, .dbzer0 and sh.itjust.works. From the normal ones anyway.

lemmy.ml is basically an instance made by creators of lemmy from what I know.

Not a player nor a DM, so correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t it basically photoshop human now? Grab a human, shift colors until skin is green…orc? :|

Similiar, however I absolutely love walking fast. Hell, I am always trying to top my speed.

Except at work. Cuz then things get done too fast and I land at 10 on the scale. :(

Truly lazy. Memorised layout. Light is meh, only intruders trip now.

Then I trip on intruders.

Not USA, but I am somewhat patriotic. For those who actually don’t understanding why burning a flag irks some folk: Flag is a symbol of a country. People who feel pride for their country, who feel like they really are a part of that country and root for it, are feeling something akin to being spat on when the flag is burned, as it shows disrespect for country and what it stands for, them included.

I don’t judge people without context tho, as often burning the flag is a method of showing major dissatisfaction with how country is being run - in a sense, showing that one doesn’t feel this connection anymore.

And when done “for fun”…well, idiots are everywhere, whatever.

Fair…though funny you mention cancer. My partner went through that and brushed with death and she has pretty much the same approach as me.

I…still cannot wrap my head around the fear of death. If you’re dead, that’s it, done, your warranty is void and all that. What to fear?

I fear consequences of my death - shit people close to me will be put through. But death itself? It’s like fearing time. Shit’s just there, always was, always will be, touches all of us and nobody can do shit bout it.

Voice and intonation dictates how I perceive characters and such. And if it’s read in monotone, no way in hell I’ll be able to focus on it.

You can now get the experience of being aggresively tailed in a game too!

Not OC but they drag behind the leg when moving, like to get caught on things and quite often drag on the ground. With slim/skinny it’s just your leg. Comfy, secure and with good pants, not limiting movement in any noticable capacity. Alas personally I prefer slim than skinny.

Doesn’t work. My country gave around 15% of minimal pay per kiddo. People who shouldn’t have children had lots of them. People who should…had the same amount as before that. Slightly better finances tho, but they still waited till they were able to provide for child.

Now now, let’s keep honest here. They did provide option to install Win 11 on unsupported hardware. It’s just slightly hidden, prolly to avoid people bricking their pc’s an blaming MS. And also it won’t update.

So, what’s the difference? Adults spend 8 hours someplace they don’t want to be for the betterment of their future, meanwhile kids spend 8 hours someplace they don’t want to be for the betterment of the future…

Both eat, drink, sleep, feel, have relationships and responsibilities.

The main difference is one cannot call your bullshit till it grows older and trust me, if you lie, bend the truth and basically abuse your kid, it will bring consequences.

For me it’s absolute lack of faith into anything anyone says, no matter how close to me they are. For some it’s closing their minds and ignoring the problem. For others, it may lead to fighting against liars - their parents.

So yeah, please commit to keeping that opinion buried somewhere where it cannot create pain for others.

She switches between Gollum and pretty a lot. But I don’t mind, it honestly adds to the show.

Not my fault now is it? Should’ve moved, duh.
