Poor people have it.
Rich people need it.

What is it?
I don’t really read literature often, but out of the few I did read, ‘A Man called Ove’ was one I really enjoyed. The one book I enjoyed even more than this was ‘Wonder’ by R. J. Palacio. It has an interesting style of storytelling and I could argue it to be even more touching, which is why it is my all-time favourite.
It was surprising yet joyous to see someone having read the exact same book as I in this space. I couldn’t imagine giving anyone book suggestions anytime soon considering how little books I have read myself, but finally having the opportunity to do so has really lifted my mood today. Thank you kind stranger for making my day.
Just think of it as ‘Game Over’. This is just to ensure the responses stay within the scope of the question.
This link to the wiki is incredibly helpful for me in order to gain context about the comic series. Thank you kind stranger!
It’s incredibly awesome seeing a talent like yourself posting regularly on a platform like Lemmy. I fully respect and commend you and your efforts to actively engage with the community here, regardless of how I make sense of the comics personally.
Wait, are you the original artist of these comics?
OK, I am willing to break the ice here: What is this community actually about? I’ve been seeing these comics in my feed for the last 3 months and trying to connect the dots between the posts to get the idea behind the lore, but so far I’m drawing a blank apart from a hint that it could be related to Linux. Maybe I need to be a computer nerd to get the jokes or…I am not taking the community title seriously enough.
For further context, the website is virtually completely local and could be self-hosted. Aside from hosting the project itself, there is no central server to manage any aspect of the users’ interaction with the site or allow communication with other users. There is no sensitive data stored barring the name of the user for which a pseudonym would be just as acceptable.
I think mentioning the ToS and privacy policy is pointless for creating an app like this. If it is possible, I would rather write them myself or omit them altogether.
I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it
I would really like to get more about the ‘business megaformal’ option if I knew what it was called in real life
It was nice to have someone take this stand and I fully support this. People switching over to Linux already have their own stuff to deal with and need time to accustom to their new environment, and forcing them to embibe ‘FOSS’ philosophy and other strong opinions as held by others in Linux communities is only going to turn them off.
The Emptiness Machine by Linkin Park.
Listened to it for the first time two days ago and kept it going since
I got my gaming rig recently and played all the releases up to Rogue only this year. I assure you my specs are modest enough and it’s just the game that is poorly optimised. Even Watchdogs 2 ran better than this.
Unity was the game I was most hyped for, especially because of its graphics and bigger maps. I even went to speedrun through the last three games to catch with the lore and begin playing it as soon as possible.
Alas, my PC couldn’t meet up with the heightened hardware requirements and I had to give up after barely finishing the tutorial with the awful frame rates even with the settings set to minimal.
Thank you so much! I checked that he starred in the show ‘Severance’ which I just watched recently, which is why I could recognise his face.
Who’s the guy in the second panel? I swear I’ve seen this guy somewhere recently and it’s been seriously bugging me
For Linux enthusiasts, how do you decide which distro you would like to try out next among the plethora of options that are available? The difference I perceive between majority of distros gets smaller the more I try to understand about them.
What are the minimum issues I am likely to face using the most beginner friendly distro like Mint for programming and light gaming?
How customizable is the GUI in Linux Mint specifically? What if I want a start menu like Windows 10 with the app list and the blocky app tiles? What about those custom widgets I see in hardcore Linux users’ desktops?
I heard there is no concept of file extensions in Linux. How am I supposed to work on my projects that I imported from my Windows machine that do contain extensions?
Bonus: Who creates those distro icons in color coded ASCII in the system info command in the terminal?
Easily the best website I’ve seen since 2024.
