Most likely talking about how the lead developer had a mental health crisis and lost his marbles. From what I've heard, he has stepped off to take care of that and the project is still going great.
Just picked up battlefield 1 cause my friend wanted to play. Wonder if I should get the other battlefield games
I wouldn't have it any other way
I installed Bazzite on a sibling's thinkpad and it was amazing. Chose KDE, out of the box, it was amazing. Fingerprint fprint was pre installed, just had to scan them in settings. Battery management and power level settings (power save or performance) were also already installed. Everything has been flawless. Even full disk encryption works amazingly well without hiccups. I remember trying it on Ubuntu and it bricked itself or something and gave up on it.
Dual booting it and installation was a walk in the park.
Year of the Linux Desktop lfg!!
A lot of people in unis over here use macs
Mrwhosetheboss. Dude seems like he sniffs a line before every video. I'll probably need to watch one of his videos right now to explain more reasons but it's just not something I would like to watch now.
Who do you watch now? I thought Breaking Points was ok.
Democratic party would crush it if only they replaced Biden with a younger candidate. I'm telling you, even republicans might switch over and vote democrat if this happens.
Went hiking and one of my buddies collapsed from heat exhaustion. Had to call a heli.
Before that, when Trump was elected and all the outcomes that came afterwards like roe v wade, school shootings, attacks on racial minorities, oh yeah and denial of covid 19 and vaccines.
Edit: I can probably list more but I would have to keep on editing this post so ima stop it at that.
I just open pdfs in the (firefox) browser. Does most of what I need.
And Louisiana with the 11 commandments in school right?
They're saying it's too fast, don't think speed has anything to do with attention span either.

Where to Recycle Filament?
I have a huge bag of filament waste. Where should I send this? I know it is only commercially recyclable in like very specific cases so stuff like PLA will almost never be recycled. However, I do hear of companies accepting filament and they sell back the rolls and stuff. I'm not looking to make a profit or anything, just gotta get this off of me and I want the most sustainable way to do so.
Standard Notes Premium
When SimpleLogin merged with Proton, proton unlimited members are able to use SimpleLogin premium for free. Is that the case for Standard Notes? I haven't figured out a way to do this.
Cube Purchase Advice
I'm starting out with a cheap Mo Fang Ge brand cube but it's pretty stiff for my taste. I saw some videos about speedcubes and how you can adjust them and all that, thought it was neat. What are some good cubes out there? I would want to avoid any Chinese brand cubes if possible because cheap and Chinese probably means their workers aren't fairly compensated.
Edit: after much research, I don't think a non-chinese brand cube will be possible. So I guess recommend me whatever the best options are. From the $10-20 range would be a good price for me.

How are Book Bans Constitutional?
I know Florida, Texas, and other counties have tried and succeeded to ban books, I wonder how that is even legal since we have the first amendment. I tried doing research on this since Huntington Beach is banning books and people were petitioning against that at the main library.
I made a little post asking people to petition on the Orange County sub.
Huntington Beach Book Banning Petitions
If you're a resident of Huntington Beach, head over to the library and sign their petition. They're trying to stop the book bans. I don't want to see a mini Florida or Texas in orange county.
Found an article on the topic: https://www.ocregister.com/2024/05/31/petitions-in-huntington-beach-want-to-ask-voters-to-overturn-changes-at-city-libraries/
Beginner Linux Guides
Are there any good resources for helping someone getting into Linux? One of my friends I never thought would get into Linux is asking me for help. He specifically is an advanced Windows power user. I also had someone who was a complete noob, even to Windows.
For the noob, I suggested LMDE and Kubuntu and they've been having some issues installing LMDE.
For the power user, I suggested the easy distros such as lmde, kubuntu, nobara but also told them if they wanted to jump into the deep end, arch is cool.
However, my suggestions don't even cover DEs, WMs or what they even are. I just wish there was a good guide out there. I think that's the biggest hurdle, so many options and not knowing what to pick.
Travel Ideas US and Canada
Thinking about going somewhere with my family this summer, perhaps to Alaska, Hawaii (Kauai), or somewhere Canada.
I would like to experience nice outdoor stuff and do fun activities while I'm there. Any ideas?

Transfer Student Class Registration
When do I sign up for my fall 2024 classes. I accepted my intent to enroll already. I fear by the time I register, everything will be filled up.
My Professor Watches Psych
So since the beginning of the semester I noticed the professor says "jess" and "wait for iiiiit", after class today, I confronted him and asked if he's ever watched a show called "Psych". He said he does and told him it's my favorite show. One of the other students said they did also and they're gonna get a blue car like in the show.
This is the first time seeing someone in the wild that likes Psych, it's pretty cool.
Where Should Comp Sci be?
From to school to school it could either be in the Engineering college or Science college. Some say it's a Math.
Is having it in a different college going to affect how you're going to be taught? I'm going to Cal Poly Pomona and comp sci there is located in the college of science but at Cal State Long Beach it's in the college of engineering. Does this matter and how?
ThinkPad Alternatives
So I'm looking for ThinkPad alternatives, so far I've see repairable laptops like the Framework laptop and the Tuxedo linux laptops. What other choices do I have if I want a tough, reliable, and utilitarian computer?
