I’m a little lost here…when I started using Fedora I was pretty much a complete beginner (used Ubuntu a little bit before but not extensively, only GUI applications) and stuff like this wasn’t an issue. Just copy and paste from some online guide. Didn’t have to use the terminal frequently either.

Fedora is pretty easy.

Was super invested in it (was considering moderating multiple magazines), as I really like Kbin and the vision of it being an all-in-one microblogging and link aggregator platform in the Fediverse. With there being so many federated platforms serving the same purpose, I like how Kbin sort of went against the fragmentation. Had to leave it for Lemmy just the other day as well. I think that Ernest has created the best alternative to Reddit despite the struggles he’s faced with development and maintaining the instance alongside with personal issues.

mbin looks great but I think I’ll just stay with the more stable option and community…being an early adopter was fun for a year though. I’m still a little iffy about mbin personally. If there’s a mbin/kbin API release I may reconsider.

I’m conflicted when it comes to mine so I’m just going to throw a few out. It’d take me forever to make a definite choice:

• Code Geass: Ridiculous plot and Lelouch is such a well written character
• Initial D: I love cars, the soundtrack, and the added dynamic of relationships on top of racing and dreams.
• FLCL: Soundtrack, animation, and how it makes 0 sense as a plot device
• Vinland Saga: Season 2 (and the Vinland Arc in the manga)
• Samurai Champloo: I like hip-hop, cool samurai, and long journeys. The ending was one of my favorites in any anime because of how simple it was

JB’s consistently shown up for the team, makes sense he’d get it. He’s finally getting the credit he deserves (hopefully he’ll go to the Hawks one day though).

So glad to be hearing actual good news for once.

Happy Pride btw

Honestly surprised at the amount of arguing over iPhones and Androids here, its 2024. It’s not that deep.

Seriously, of all things tech news related nowadays, green and blue bubbles are a non-issue. If someone has an issue with it, it’s probably worth not making it your issue as well and just walking/swiping away to find someone else to talk to.

I consistently talk to iPhone users using SMS. Besides from the occasional picture compressed into oblivion, nobody cares enough to even make jokes about the phones we are using. At the end of the day, it’s just a phone.

I use Debian on nearly everything that isn’t a “testing machine”…it’s just what I’m familiar with. Used to be like this with Fedora. If you are looking to just use it as a regular end user and don’t really need anything different or particularly want some new scenery, you might as well just install Debian again.

I love guitars (I own two, though I’m an on-and-off casual player) and I have a few friends who are also into guitar-made music. Other genres like hip-hop also make use of guitars on occasion as well. They definitely aren’t as popular as they once were, but they still have a fandom in Gen Z.

Cheap scissors for your car. You never know when you need to open something that would be difficult to do with your hands for whatever reason.
