if u game, you’re going to have a (possibly) hard time in Linux. a lot of games work on Linux, but some don’t and you’re gonna maybe want to switch back. IMO: just dual boot or install Linux on another device (desktop vs laptop?). sounds like you’re ready for it. I’ve been using Linux for 2 decades but still use windows for gaming, though mostly due to the childhood trauma of trying to get wine to work.

191·19 days agoprivacy implies vpn (or some mix-net), but not the opposite… so if you want privacy, you need a vpn, but a vpn by itself doesn’t give you privacy

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there an optimal angle when using a urinal?
4·26 days agoaim for the water or the colored mats… other than that it’s all the same afaik. if the urinal doesn’t have a mat, maybe carry one around in your pocket

1·26 days agoyeah i didnt want to script removing the tmp files bc theyre sometimes useful… usually i do read;find -delete; as like a “confirm” for me…
also, i do backup, but i guess only once a month… i was in the middle of a backup, the commands were: git add --all; git commit; find -delete; git push; and then confusion when i saw the .git folder was gone
ive been doing this for over a decade and this is the second (third?) time something like this has happened.
anyway, not trying to defend myself, maybe i should script the find and delete thing… but i just wanna hopefully prevent someone else’s data deletion.

251·27 days agoi just deleted a month of notes by doing:
find $(pwd) “*.tmp” -delete
instead of:
find $(pwd) -iname “*.tmp” -delete
turns out the former throws an error on “*.tmp” but still deletes everything lol… PSA for everyone

141·1 month agoyou could buy 2 us cars for the average price of a us car (2 of the cheapest us cars). seems that China still has cheaper cars, but this article is biased in the title and article for some reason

World News@lemmy.world•LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your ComputerEnglish
183·1 month agoit’s misleading to say its searching your computer tho…? this invokes the thought of LinkedIn getting to rifle through your files like it has access to ~/Documents/ or smth.
but yeah tracking you over the internet is similarly bad
it means the next thing you Cook on it will be of uncommon rarity
crazy that both barb and milo had this happen to them
wrong, there are no borders… so this cant border on anything







that still only counts as one!
