I often get bored of the Fediverse, but I'm doing my best to stay here.
  • No kidding! I was just thinking this morning that my Mastodon feed has gone bonkers lately and it is getting harder to keep up! I suppose that is a good problem to have but I only follow a few tags. I am, however, enjoying Mastodon way more than I ever did twitter.

  • Congrats! I have a Galago Pro and a Gazelle that I purchased several years ago. They both work great and I am very happy with them. Love how open s76 is with all the documentation and software support. Have been considering ordering a desktop from them with an AMD GPU as a gaming machine. Enjoy the laptop!

  • What's your favorite game you played this year? (Doesn't have to be released this year )
  • I really enjoyed XVI. It is not without its problems but overall is a good addition to the series IMHO. I replayed XV as well after not caring for it on my first playthrough. I ended up really liking it the second time around. The story isn’t the best but the game shines in the personal interactions between the characters while you are wandering around and stuff. A lot of the story is really told indirectly through that and I came to appreciate it. Just my thoughts.

  • These just go out with the other recycling, right?
  • Only problem I have had with LED lights is they stop working after maybe 6 months whereas the CF bulbs would go for years. I have CF bulbs in fixtures that have been working since before I got my first LED installed. What has your experience been? What brand of bulb are you using? I am willing to pay more for a bulb that will last.

  • How do I find communities on Lemmy?
  • Can you tell me how the ! Commands work? Where do I put them? Search? I am on kbin if it matters.

  • HBO Does not streams WestWorld anymore
  • Same. First season was so good and the second season….I don’t even know. I didn’t bother with the rest. I didn’t even know there are 4 seasons. What a shame.

  • Xfce appreciation post
  • I adore XFCE, simple, functional, lightweight. What more do you need? I am currently running pop_os which defaults to Gnome and by comparison it just feels heavy and clunky. The other DE I had love for was enlightenment years ago. A purely keyboard driven DE. It was glorious.

  • What distro do you use and why?
  • Pop_os. I bought a system76 laptop and that is what came on it. It works well and is no fuss for me. Not a huge gnome fan but c’est la vie. Highly doubt a distro is going to center itself around something like xfce or enlightenment. I have distro hopped for years but for now I am happy with something I don’t have to tinker with all the time.

  • I was so mad about AB….until Apollo came along

  • I still can't bring myself to delete it. It just sits there on my phone, all sad.

  • No offense I thought you were a bot given how often I see your username haha. Good on you! You are helping to make this a better place

  • Favorite iOS fediverse apps?
  • Please forgive my ignorance. I don't see this in the app store, how do I get it? Would LOVE a decent app for kbin! (I am a reddit/Apollo refugee if it helps)

  • Started Playing 'The Talos Principle'
  • Witness was awesome!

  • Started Playing 'The Talos Principle'
  • Fair. I really enjoyed it (as much as I played. Didn’t finish. Should) but I get what you are saying. To each theirs!

  • I miss StumbleUpon
  • Amazing. I clicked it and was sent here:

    Which I found quite interesting. Thanks for this! I am going to click on it some more

  • What is your go-to Linux distro and why?
  • I have been very happy with my s76 machine. Keep in mind it is a re-branded cleo, but s76 has put a lot of work into opening the hardware, and making pop work perfectly on the hardware. I have a Gazelle from about 3 years ago now, and have had no problems with it. I ended up purchasing a second laptop for my SO to use (a Galago Pro) which has also been problem free. When the time comes for me to replace this machine I will look to S76 first.

    Any questions I'll be happy to answer if I can.

  • What is your go-to Linux distro and why?
  • Right now I use pop_os. I bought a System76 laptop so it came with it. I like it because most things just work and I am lazy. Not the biggest gnome fan though. Previous to owning this laptop I tinkered with many distros but usually leaned towards lightweight DEs like xfce.

  • What was your first experience using Linux? How old were you? Stick around or did you go back to windows before eventually circling back to Linux?
  • My first disro was red hat 6.2 which wikipedia tells me was released in April 2000. I was fed up with Windows being crappy and crashing so I decided to try an alternative. Well, it didn’t crash like Windows did that is for sure but I spent a ton of time tinkering and upgrading and compiling. Linux has come a long long way since then. I have mostly stuck to it. I had a job that supplied me with a macbook for a while so for a few years I used osx, but I never fully went back to Windows. Now with proton making gaming more accessible on Linux I have no reason to ever go back.

  • What are we all playing this weekend?
  • I just finished Final Fantasy XVI (loved it). Next on my ps5 I will probably make my way through Spiderman Miles Moralis, and maybe start totk on my switch.
