I have a T460 running Debian 12 with Cinnamon on it, which is Linux Mint’s desktop environment. It runs perfect, never have any issues, I just have to be patient every now and then.

OpenSuse I think I will be in the office tomorrow morning if you want to come over and help me out with the mouse and pasting it by pressing the middle mouse button on the phone to the right of the door

What usually also works on Linux is selecting text with the mouse and pasting it by pressing the middle mouse button (or scroll wheel). You’d still need the mouse, but it’s at least a little quicker ☺️

Punching trees

Yeah, human population levels have really gone out of control. Maybe the wolves can finally restore some balance.

That too.

“We cannot talk about a so-called safe level of alcohol use. It doesn’t matter how much you drink – the risk to the drinker’s health starts from the first drop of any alcoholic beverage,” Dr Carina Ferreira-Borges, acting Unit Lead for Noncommunicable Disease Management and Regional Advisor for Alcohol and Illicit Drugs in the WHO Regional Office for Europe explained.

I feel like we don’t hear this enough. Smoking is being targeted by policies a lot more than drinking, while drinking comes with a heavy burden on society too (alcoholism, violence etc.).

Has anyone tried this yet on Debian 12? Would be nice to upgrade from the ESR version.

I just installed StreetComplete because of your post and it’s a lot of fun! I guess I’ll be doing this on my walks from now on :-)

Thanks! I heard about it from a social worker, so maybe you could try something like that.

It’s a local program (I live in the Netherlands) for people with autism or similar issues. They teach you html and java and some other stuff I don’t remember. Eventually they help you to work on projects they do for other businesses and even find a job with a “regular” company, but only if you’re ready for that and able to do it. It’s government funded and aside from the IT professionals, they also have healthcare professionals who help you with any issues you encounter in the work environment. After having been unemployed for years due to mental health issues, it’s a very exciting opportunity for me. I’ve already visited the company and the people and work environment there seem really suitable.

Hell, even today a shitload of websites I visit on FF just don’t fucking render correctly and I’ll have to fire up a chromium instance just to access them.

Can you link to an example? I remember this from years ago, but haven’t encountered it for a long time.

• I started using Lemmy
• Got back on Mastodon when it got rolling a bit more. I follow more accounts now and it’s actually fun.
• Got back on linux after a 5 year hiatus. I should have done it a whole lot sooner, I enjoy using my computer more.
• Needed a laptop and instead of buying a new one, I got a secondhand laptop from a local system administrator who put linux on it. Debian is great and I love the old Thinkpad.
• I’ve applied to a learn/work program in web development. I haven’t started yet, but I will soon. I’m so excited for that.

Thanks, it really was. I had happily used the self-checkouts for years before that, so it’s a real shame.

NL as well. Maybe it’s because it’s a big city, poor neighbourhood, more theft, I don’t know, but I’m done with it.

Also, some places do random inspection. But that’s frustration free too

Yeah, I’m gonna disagree with that. They’ve recently ramped up those checks because of increased theft due to inflation. They also scan more items now. After having been checked 4 times in a row and them completely emptying my bag each time, I no longer use the self checkout.

The words can be copyrighted alright, that’s not the problem here. Even without publishing them, the creator already has copyright over his 624 words. There’s probably nobody who would be interested in publishing them because, let’s face it, they aren’t that interesting on their own, unlike a novel or a poem. All the stuff that makes this a piece of art is added by the AI, whereas a printing press adds very little to nothing to a book.

I had the same idea, though I’m a bit apprehensive about it. I’m not that technical, so it’s kinda difficult for me. Do you have any resources you care to share?

What do you need that for?
