Two months. Got brought in as a sales engineer with no one to train me. My days mostly consisted of spending 8 hours alone in my office reading ISO and ASTM standards for the test services the company offered. Got sent to Minnesota for further training for a week with no one to train me there either. Found a job right after and left my boss bewildered like he couldn’t believe it after I kept reminding him no one was actually teaching me how to do the job.

Ubuntu sometime around 2010. It definitely wasn’t what I was looking for so I didn’t try another distro until 3 years ago. Linux Mint’s working well for me but I’m curious about Bazzite.

We need more anime in theaters here. I couldn’t get to see Gundam Gquuuuuux because the showtimes were too few and far from my area.

Considering how badly Nvidia’s been pricing their dGPUs, the market’s ripe for a low cost alternative to fill a niche for years to come.

I can smell this picture.

All these jokes about guillotines is getting old. Either shit or get off the pot.

Too bad there isn’t a company out there that focuses on making privacy respecting goods like TVs, washing machines, and cars. I’d buy all their offerings.

Carry him in a poke ball! You’re just ruining your car that way.

It works remarkably well for a lot of things if you put a little effort into it. Depending on the distro, you might have a little more trouble trying to fix something. For my use case it can do gaming, CAD, office work, and some light programming just fine with some quirks and tradeoffs. Lemmy in general is a good place to ask troubleshooting questions too

They seem to have the only people willing to deliver to a drainage hole.

The first Switch still seemed like a good purchase because you could own the physical cartridge of a game so it’ll still be available long after its servers shut down. The Switch 2 just gives you a physical NFT with which to download the game with. Anyone who purchases this system will be very disappointed a few years later when it cuts off access to their library.

Gentoo was mentioned more actually.

I’ve worked with a bunch of hardcore Linux users in my career, some of whom even knew about Lemmy. Not one of them have ever worn striped socks though.

RTX 3080 owner here. I get a black screen whenever I try to play a game after the desktop goes to sleep in Linux Mint. The only workaround is to restart the PC and play it before its screensaver comes on. The struggle is real.

The closest thing we’ll see for that kind of legislation is when BYD inevitably makes it to the US. Even then they might word it to say all data traffic from cars would have to go to US servers. These piece of shit politicians work for the data harvesting ghouls, after all.

APUs like the 5700g during the pandemic’s GPU shortage were already an amazing deal and kept me from blowing too much cash on a couple of new builds. AMD’s a real hero when it comes to value.

Thanks for this curated news update! It almost feels like reading segments from a gaming magazine.

I looked up a house recently as part of a Craigslist transaction and noticed it was the only blurred one in the street. I checked its Zillow listing and saw way more than what you could see on Street View anyway and chuckled. When I got there I saw there was a Tesla parked on the driveway which probably explained why it was blurred in the first place.

I just finished printing this basket for my bed since there’s no room for night stands. It’s made using the last spare bits of filament I had lying around but who cares since you normally can’t see it from most angles anyway.

Where’s that image from?
