I always love the responses to these videos because it’s invariably a bunch of skilled Linux people showing their entire ass trying to justify why the average user would somehow have had a magically better experience and the OP is uniquely bad at computers. Get fucking real. Sit down, shut up, and take notes. It’s never going to be the year of the Linux desktop if you ignore the issues encountered by new Linux users.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Developer patches Wine to make Photoshop 2021 & 2025 run on Linux — Adobe Creative Cloud installers finally work thanks to HTML, JavaScript and XML fixes
2·3 months agoWish there was into on how to pirate adobe for Linux. Even into for Windows is hard to find (for obvious reasons) when you’re someone like me who doesn’t know where to look.
This is not an invitation to tell me how and get banned lol

United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Why is Mamdani not banning the sale of stolen Palestinian land in New York?
8·3 months agoThat’s why OP specified “participating in genocide.” That’s how language works. They didn’t say “protesting against synagogues” they said “protesting against synagogues participating in genocide”, a subset of synagogues.

Programming@programming.dev•I got paid minimum wage to solve an impossible problem
1·3 months agoIn retrospect it’s pretty obvious that the most efficient way to traverse a grid would include no diagonals. Every time you move on an axis you move to a cell in 1 unit distance of travel. Why would you ever choose to move to a cell in √2 unit distances when you could move 1 unit distance to achieve the same result of covering one more cell?
Xavienth@lemmygrad.mltoToday I learned@lemmy.ml•TIL that there was a man named William Patrick Hitler, a man who could have been a Nazi prince yet instead became an American veteran who helped defeat his uncle's empire.
4·5 months agoAlternatively, a more generous interpretation was he was trying to gain ground to topple it from within. That’s if you want to give him that much credit.
“Sounds like it is working pretty well to me” when I spend multiple days trying to get Linux working for one purpose (to draw) and am unsuccessful.
This is why “current year is the year of the Linux desktop” is hilarious to anyone who doesn’t use Linux.

Most zoomers are adults. 96 to 2010 means only the youngest zoomers are minors. In 3 years, every zoomer will be a legal adult.

Xavienth@lemmygrad.mltoToday I learned@lemmy.ml•TIL the United States has 94 nuclear power plants.
3·8 months agoWell, a nuclear power plant typically has at least one reactor.
Being less of an ass, yes, you’re right, there’s also reactors not part of a public electricity generating station. Mostly military, but some for training.
People have called NPCs in video games “AI” for like, decades.
The gameplay seems to borrow heavily from Schedule I, but Schedule I’s graphics are somewhat cohesive. The graphics for Tollbooth Simulator are unharmonious, and together with the - from an outside perspective - unoriginal gameplay, and possibly AI generated title banner, makes it seem like an asset flip.
But that’s just my outside opinion having not played the game.

OpenStreetMap community@lemmy.ml•30 km/h limit data analysis shows that what matters for compliance is not the limit, but the features of the streets (from OSM data)English
7·10 months agoSpeed limits (in North America anyway) are determined by what speed the 85th percentile drives at. Of course lowering the speed limit doesn’t work, that’s literally the reverse of how speed limits are determined.
Drivers determine what speed they feel safe driving at. They take cues from the design of the road. If you want to slow down drivers, you have to redesign the road.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Yes, I wrote a very expensive bug. In my defense I was only seven years old at the time

United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Wage Stagnation has Made ‘Minimal Quality of Life’ Out of Reach for Most in US
3·11 months ago3% annual raise isn’t a raise. When someone gets a 3% raise after a year they are literally making exactly what they started at if inflation is 3% annually.
