Edit: this is probably the wrong thing to focus on, but I'm increasingly upset they didn't do the alpha transparency right on their profile pic. It's 2024 ffs. More evidence this is boomer fueled.

10+ years ago there was something called Basket Note Pads that had the same blank canvas style note taking that onenote has now.

My heart broke in two when the project died because the metaphor wasn't popular at the time. It'd be so well positioned if it had stayed in development until today.

Gnome. Mostly vanilla except for some extended tiling for when I need it. Also sped up animations.

I bind Activities to an extra mouse button. But I'm also comfortable without that.

I've used a lot of stuff over the years. Started with the kde 3 series. I just don't really want to do a lot of fiddling anymore, and find the default Gnome workflow to be a really good fit for me.

i-76. Mostly forgotten battle-driving sim where the cars feel heavy. Plays more like an old tank sim than gta. Retro 70s theming.

 

ingrate. my sister is mad at me now.

They'll probably get a good cash stream at first. But I'm not sure most people in America have enough object permanence to care about these folks after a few years. Won't they be like a Reality Winner, where almost no one remembers them a few years later except as a trivia answer at trivia night?

I've fallen so far out of the loop with games piracy.

I gather that there are repacks now for Linux? Or do you dl the windows version then just run it through proton?

Honestly, the 2 hour refund window is the perfect length to see how bad the Linux compatibility is. A half hour to try a few tweaks, if I care enough to. Another hour to see if there are subtle bugs or intermittant crashes.

I definitely have tried to run a few games I wouldn't have bothered with otherwise.

You'll be happy to know there's a social media site just like lemmy run by capitalists. It has all the benefits that capitalist ownership provides.

And to speak to grad and hexbear, a large part of the reason there are commies here is because they were driven off other platforms. Hexbear and Grad are both decendent from active communities that reddit banned.

Seeing all the scaremongering about those communities here reminds me of the old comic. :

our site

sorry to break it to you, but the person who runs your instance might be more aligned with the hexbears than with you.

I mean, it could be misogyny. Lets not rush to judgement.

I see more manjaro than ubuntu.

Ubuntu had so many years as the "default" that people have some old perfect version of ubuntu that they liked better. Some early version from the gnome2 days, or else people who loved unity.

For my part, the last time I tried it, there were snap and apt versions of so many apps, that when you had an issue it was hard to troubleshoot because there would be two sets of solves. That was enough to get me to bail. I wonder if that's still an issue.
