What is your demo? In my world it's quite different. Isn't Whatsapp proprietary? And I know few that will bother with signal these days. I've started getting obvious spam invites on it as well so...
RCS should just be the standard. There is no reason to argue that.. it doesn't end the apps you use but many of us are tired of multiple apps.
But they say never wear a belt with suspenders!
Seriously tho hey late reply just wanted to say thanks, i never even thought to look into that. Seems to be the answer I needed.. a refreshingly simple solution!
I have to manage multiple VPN clients for various reasons and i get twisted up pretty easily. I'm sure that too is simple I just have a mental block on it. But yeah thanks again!
Interesting. Can relate having spent most of my life on a southern coast. One summer my parents shipped me to my uncle in Denver for a few weeks. One day we dropped by an air show. It's summer and it's hot (mid 90s or so) but you can't feel it. People passing out was common enough it had an announcement.
Cut to later that day and we are up in the mountains and I'm walking through a snow bank with the same T-shirt and shorts from earlier, perfectly comfortable.
So yeah if it's dry you can wear about anything.. when it's humid nothing seems to work be it hot or cold. If we are gonna change the climate here are my notes: I'd like 65-68degF and let's say 45% RH. All day everyday. Make it so!
I'm gonna watch how your post is voted. I've gotten burned for that stance my entire life even though it's perfectly logical.
Don't really get the idea you aren't supposed to try stuff out without upfront payment. Slightly better now but meh.
Don't you worry though, any software I needed for business was all bought and paid for. I'm sure a few pennies got to the programmers / developers / artists that designed it. And i simply passed the cost on to my clients. Pretty obvious who wins here.
Then again I don't really get what this post is about, just replying to you.
Edit: is qbitorrent still cool? I mean uTorrent was cool till it wasn't. I never update it but I tried it out on Linux earlier this year and even with a VPN it leaked and i got a message from my ISP next day. That's likely on me and bad settings but just checking
Yeah I got you.. that was a stupid thing to say. I never meant it like that. I mean hell at the end of the day you got me to look up a couple things.
It was a good lesson. And I'm usually banging heads with friends because they are judging and then i did it. Thanks for checking me.
Appreciate that but now I don't know how to reply without sounding condescending.. dammit! :) but you know, if you go back to 1995 bad boys that was how i communicated. Years later i relocated and nearly got killed for pointing out a funny and quite justified slight at a certain NFL team.
I'm not sure I have a point beyond stay trigger happy and call fuckers like me out! We all make mistakes and I have no problem being called out.
Shit, i still sound condescending don't I? It's just hard not to after a while. I don't know if it'll be Linux worthy but hit me up if you decide to try out borderlands 4. We'd be happy to have a new player in the group.
Great info, thanks. Most of my hardware is old. But that's actually a good thing I think. I have a Lenovo ideacentre i plucked back from a friend as it was gathering dust. I upgraded the ram and SSD and installed neon on a whim and it's amazing.
That's what sorta started tracking me back.. have continued using Linux for servers but i was impressed at that desktop. Now I know neon is a bit bleeding edge so any recommendations on a distro? I started with freebsd back in the day, then gentoo for desktop, then Ubuntu minimal for servers if that helps. Not afraid to get my hands dirty but prefer simplicity.
I found a 256GB SSD that should be enough for some testing. I need to grab some files off it but then it's ready to go. Distro advice appreciated. Remember i just want to test :) TIA
Sorry yo, wasn't intended that way I promise! I don't have great people skills text based or otherwise. And actually I'm the one that sounds like an idiot anyway haha In my defense I'm quite tired and seeking excuses to not be working so yeah, my bad, no offense intended
That's curious. I actually feel more and more lucid starting around noon or whenever the sun starts setting, and into the night. The person in the mirror starts to actually look decent, I feel more free and happy, etc.
Can't go to sunrise if it can be helped. For some reason it's just a punch in the face to me. I probably have issues with responsibilities or something.
We are all weird creatures for sure though even just based on the comments in this post.
It was indeed fun! All my rescues have an interesting sometimes tragic story. I'll have to compile a book someday. Short of one kitten, I never posted anything on reddit. Though my first, who had to be put down at 18 because she was miserable, gained a little fame on fark back in the day.
Anyway, Carmen looks great! Healthy and happy and I love the black nose! It looks almost fake.. you didn't spray paint your cat right? Jk! Hard to believe you found her alone and crying years ago, but I'm glad she found you
Oh, FWIW I couldn't see your pic on lemmy (boost) and had to log in to kbin on desktop and find this thread and then could see it. I thought fediverse stuff was all connected? Oh well, I got to see her and your cat-tax balance has been cleared. Have a good w/e!
Hah I had to look some of that up. I bet I could guess your age within a couple years. :)
DCS seems like a cash grab and travkir thing seems quite the gimmick. But i understand you wanting to play with your friends and so do they and they aren't going to bring Linux support despite it's likely built on it.
Windows is essentially free anyway these days so you'll just have to suck it up for now. You can disable things like realtime scanning for a performance boost. If you can't make your own DNS try quadr9 to block a majority of the telemetry and shit.
Being able to play with your friends is more important really. Just dual boot or use a VM to get your nix skills. I'm sure many won't agree with me and that's cool. There is nothing Linux can't do, yet there are apps (or games) that will simply require windows to participate. Sucks, but that's reality.
I have to agree with most people, arch is probably the way to go.
But given the subject I'm gonna piggy back on you and ask about KDE Neon. This is what got me back into desktop Linux after installing it on an old crappy tablet.
Now i currently run it on a couple older but upgraded AIOs and even my server that primarily does VMs.
If i understand it's a little more bleeding edge than people would normally like but I'm curious the community thoughts on it as i don't hear much. Am I missing out not running arch or mint?
