Of course there's the suggestion of installing KDE plasma on PopOS! Which will work quite well but to give some info on the others:

KDE neon is mostly for devs and is less well maintained than other distros. Still definitly not a bad choice.

Tumbleweed stronk. Definitly out of what you say my preference though yes, it's not deb based. You should be able to get what you want though through the app store and the open build service. Really it's discouraged to find random .debs online and install but OpenSUSE runs on .rpm which are fairly commom.

Kubuntu is also good. Last time I checked it's a bit slower moving than pop but that's not inherently bad. Definitly a great "It-just-works" distro. Some people, myself included, dislike snaps which are built in but if you don't know what they are I doubt you'll care. Most of the hate is overblown.

I'd caution against endeavor as it's arch based. It'll demand more from you, stuff will definitly not just work all the time,and if an issue arises it'll be the first to catch it. Like the grub rescue error that showed up about a year or so ago.

Don't use Manjaro. The devs are incompetent and destructive to the ecosystem.

Debian is also chill. There's always unstable (can't remember the current name. Debian Trixie?) For something that's more up to date

Last thing no matter what distro, just like an exe, a .deb is just an archival format like .zip and can be taken apart to be manually installed. I understand not wanting to do this though lol and it's not always that simple

He also separately hired a convicted pedophile and hid his name and face for years calling them "Dallas" while allowing him near children

If done right no, there's no reason other than noise, size, and power usage. It also might pick up small things which could impact the components if the fans are strong. At worst it may push them out of place. That last two are pretty unlikely though.

It my be hard to ensure airflow as small pockets of a may form due to turblance that can't exit the system however.

All in all though there's no reason why a big ass fan couldn't work and if airflow to the heat generating components is right it would be better at cooling

A while back, somewhere around Linux 5.17, some Intel chips in laptops caused the Linux kernal to rapidly set backlight brightness to 100% then zero. This flashing would likely cause it to break. That's the last one I remember only a year or so ago.

This only effected arch an it's varients to my knowledge though, as they were the first to recieve the update, and it was fixed very quickly. To my knowledge nobodies systems were broken from this.

We are officially finished with The Book. Now onto something that matters.

Today is an exploratory session to explore the lemmy codebase, see how well it's documented, and make targets for contribution.

If anyone's following along this week is dedicated to familiarizing ourselves with the codebase. Pull it down, set up our dev environment, run the code. After that pick a directory and attempt to explain a few functions to a duck. If a duck is not present find a google search result for the term "duck" will suffice.

As always, a stream will be available at the following link of myself doing this for around 2 hours starting one hour after this post is made. https://www.twitch.tv/deerfromsmoke

It's not a configuration issue Google has blocked nearly all instances with larger usage numbers for piped.

If you're self hosting or using a smaller instance you'll be OK though especially of it's not on the main list

Aight, Glad for the warning. Couldn't care less if they take it out this is on my "no go" list.

You gotta rest up man, that's a pretty big job for one star

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Holy shit they're making it again? Fully for it man, third time they create the exact same game it seems and I'm all for it. If that sounds like sarcasm or a complaint it isn't. I'm excited for the third time round

 

Day 6!

You’re free to create a separate post for your own stuff if you wish, or you can post it as a comment below. I will corral any individual posts and post them here as a comment by Day 7. Rinse and repeat.

Rules:

  1. Please remember to be kind. All skill levels are welcome here.
  2. AI art is not allowed.
  3. Submissions must be based on the daily prompt, but either traditional or digital mediums are welcome.

Thank you in advance, and let’s have fun! :)

The bird looks better than the prompt and I'm ok with that

 

Yeah I'm only drawing one man

Personally, I'll put some herb in the hole. Not ground up just pull a small bit off, squeeze it a bit, stuff it on.

Smoking hash is an art of course. If it's too good you'll never be able to light it properly. Best way I've done it is to let the fire stay just above (using hemp rope, not a butane lighter, for the taste) while slowly inhaling careful not to let the flame touch. This bleeds out some of the oil into the herb beneath it so the hash itself can light. With that method though I will grind some herb up to add on top of the plug so it absorbs a bit better. If you have a piece with a choke only cover it a bit.

Don't know if it's the stuff you're thinking of, but due to a large combination of droughts in afganistan and surrounding regions the ground in hash making lands became more aride, and the grounds nutrients changed heavily. This is usually what people mean when they say modern hash isn't anything like it was before. It's because, sadly, it isn't.

That tends to be more black/dark brown though. Brownish hashed tend to be morrocan or isreali

I used to get this incradibly smooth blonde hash from Morocco. Burnt slow in my glass pipe with this near sweet, smokey taste. Absolutely loved the stuff but dahm is it expensive.

Why this community?

In 8 days inktober starts. I'd like to have a place were people can see others results and discuss their experience daily. After failing to find a community for this event I've created one myself. I'd love to hear peoples thoughts on how this should run though.

What is inktober?

Inktober is a yearly art event intended to improve your inking skills. Every day, there’s a prompt which everyone will draw with either ink on paper or digital inking. You may also dedicate yourself to a half marathon style Inktober by inking every second day.

To be discussed:

My suggestion is that we have a daily round up thread where yesterdays art is collected in one place and, if wanted, vote on our favorite piece to be included at the end of the month in a "community favorites" meta post.

Any suggestion on how this should be run, anything we can do to make this more fun, or something not listed would be greatly appreciated.

Want to help the community?

I'll admit, I don't have the most time. I'd heavily appreciate it if some of you would be willing to become mods so you can make the daily roundup post, pin it, unpin yesterdays, and update a list of these posts. Of course, enforcing the rules and cleaning up spam would also be kind but I understand we all have time issues

 

This is a place to share your Inktober pieces and to discuss the the prompt, event, or anything related to inking. See this post for more information:

https://sh.itjust.works/post/25621677

Strictly positive as the point is to force ourselves to do this daily with the hope of improving our skills through repetition. Constructive criticism welcome if you can phrase if positively.

Discussion post is live with the intent of talking about how this should be run with my current goals. Feel free to join up and hope into the discussion.

I'll be clear, quite embarrassingly I bit my tongue hard last night and haven't been talking right all day. Hurts to talk, hurts to eat, and worst of all hot tea is undrinkable. How will I live. Now I know exactly what it feels like to be soldier wounded in combat.

Will resume next week in full force. In the meantime however please feel free to read ahead. Or, alternatively, try out a few leetcode\advent of code questions. This what I'll be doing tonight.

Saw this a bit ago but didn't think to post about it

To be clear, this doesn't mean coreboot is available now and what is working for devs includes quite a few binary blobs. It's still progress though and good to see.

It's been 5 months but you did ask me to inform you of anything happening @[email protected]

Another link from that article shares more info: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Framework-13-AMD-Coreboot-WIP

More info tends to be posted here: https://community.frame.work/t/responded-coreboot-on-the-framework-laptop/791/428

Created a while ago from a DnD session where the PC's were stalking a leonin man meeting some friends in a shifty alley, beside a bar using krita along with it's perspective tools. Using Muses brush pack, I'll send a link if requested. Very nice pencil and charcoal brushes.

 

This acts as a reminder that tomorrow Tuesday the 13th at 6:30 EST will be our second meeting, though you're welcome if it's your first time all the same. We'll be discussing what we've learned since last week, what we're doing this week coming, and reading the next two parts of The Book together. Along with that, we'll talk about a new (secondary and optional) stream possibly on Thursdays at the same time going through advent of code together in order to learn rust through code.

Hope to see you all there tomorrow but as always, the Vod will be available afterwards at the youtube channel listed in our Project Portal here: https://sh.itjust.works/post/14184272
