Loops is still in Beta rn, and it’s rough lol. Never was a Tiktok person so it might feel even worse for them.

Isn’t federated yet, but will be when Dansup makes it worthwhile.

Where the fuck is that second stock image from??? I fucking love how the one chick has a whole damn assault rifle 😭

Tried Distrobox, heard about it before but was to scared to use it previously. Seems neat, still having issues with running an application after installing it via wine…

What feature does ShareX provide that Spectacle doesnt? You can share to imgur, telegram, etc with it.

When I looked up Linux alternatives, I never saw anyone mention this app. Also, it uses KDE, and Silverblue is Gnome. I just tried installing KWin since spectacle says it needs it, and it seems to not want to work…

Edit: Rebased to Fedora Kinoite because it uses Plasma KDE, which works with Spectacle. Shortcuts provided are nice and can do what I need, but ShareX definitely had more ways to create new shortcuts, and each shortcut could auto save to different folders, unlike the global save for ShareX. ShareX also can record JUST audio, which eliminates the need for a second app to do so. I just feel like the shortcuts and tasks in ShareX could be hyperspecific.

But this will work! Thank you for informing me about it! Idk why people recommend flameshot instead of this, seems better.

Yeah that’s what I was going for, I was to lazy to type my “sister/brother in christ” so I figured sibling was the best way to get both women and men along with any enbys.

Happy Pride, people 🌈

Felt that. Lemmy perfectly replicates (and improves) on the things I liked about Reddit. I don’t need or want an algorithm for this, because you can just subscribe to all the communities you love anyway.

Meanwhile, Mastodon and Pixelfed are a struggle. Tagging is key since there’s no algorithm, but even after following like 50+ tags, I still don’t see exactly what I want in my feeds. I love fanart of games and anime, so I tried to pick pixelfed.art, but even then I don’t see much, and also realized a large amount of artists are on mastodon.art instead, and the federation struggles to show me people not on Pixelfed. Hell, both official and 3rd party clients sometimes break when viewing a non-pixelfed account page. You seriously have to work to curate a feed on these places that make you want to come back.

I was never really a Twitter person, but I absolutely used Instagram and Pinterest a lot to look at art before I dropped them, so now I use Tumblr to not shut myself off entirely from fan content. So it’s not a matter of me not liking Fediverse services like Pixelfed and Mastodon, but them lacking the methods necessary to make viewing content easier.

Don’t get me started on Misskey, the language barrier isn’t a problem for me as I am learning Japanese. But I feel a little lost with the UI, and once again, trying to find artists on other instances.

I’m honored, truly. I try my best 🥹

Tbh I probably saw someone else say it before and just used it myself.

I know it’s overused but cliches are cliche for a reason, so I love it when people say “So close!” and then make fun of someone for saying some braindead shit.

Also reminds me of some stupid ad I saw for expensive ass chlorophyll powder packets to put in your water. My sibling in christ, eat a fucking salad with spinach if you want chlorophyll.

NGL, I’ve been using Fedora Silverblue as my beginner distro, and while most of it has been great and plug-n-play with little issue, there’s really frustrating shit about it. If I’m trying to look up how to do terminal stuff to install something not on flatpak, 99% of the time the instructions are for regular Fedora, not Silverblue. So I couldn’t figure out for the life of me how to use Cisco packet tracer without using a wine app, because a version provided wasn’t atomic.

Just yesterday, I wanted to try getting ShareX to work, and was trying to figure out a more native way to do ShareX + wine from the CLI, so I tried to install wine, but it uses its own repo, so I had to look up how to install a repo for Silverblue, in which there were far less results, and the few answers I saw were like “put the repofile in the folder for repositories.” I’m so lost man. Idk where these shits are in my files. I tried reading what I think is the Silverblue documentation, but it doesn’t explain much.

Sometimes I seriously think of switching to reg Fedora because my life would be far easier when having to find answers, and as long as I make backups, fucking my system up won’t really matter much.

I was good at math and it was one of my favorite core subjects in school, so I know I’m a weirdo but… I never understood how people couldn’t understand basic PEMDAS/BEDMAS/Whatever-the-fuck-your-country-calls-it.

Obviously these problems are shitty engagement bait because they don’t use parentheses, but still, seeing people fuck up the fact that Multiplication AND Division occur at the same time, and then the next step is Addition AND Subtraction just stupefies me.

Like, did you sleep through 4 years of elementary school to miss that fact??? Even in middle school pre-algebra teachers still did PEMDAS refreshers. I get that once I get out of college I’m probably gonna forget half the pre-calc shit I learned because I won’t need it, and I’m not being drilled on it everyday like people in school are, but PEMDAS is a fundamental and basic daily life skill that everyone should know…

I really wish we gave a fuck about US education.

Holy shit I never knew that just putting pics was part of the issue. So many threads where I couldn’t see the joke.

Also it’s fine on my end

RIP Yeah looked at that history and it’s fucking obvious with those triple same title posts…

Whoa don’t come for Bluetooth like that. I like not having tangled wires and janky earbuds/headphones, especially because my clumsy ass used to snap the cords all the time by accident.

I do agree though that we should get the choice to use headphone jack or bluetooth. I also miss having a jack since I have to use my charging port to connect to my car radio…

Edit: My comment is an implication that I want phones with headphone jacks. I know that phones have headphone jacks and bluetooth. Why am I getting downvoted?

At this point I’m leaving a paper trail in my comments. Sigh, I’ll keep it short and sweet.

If you’re using ReVanced to hack and get through Duolingo, then I think you should just drop the service. There are countless free resources out there that do a better job, and aren’t predatory or make you hate learning. Duolingo is good for beginners and about a month or two of learning. Please let that app go, especially since the CEO thinks AI is a suitable replacement for the education system…

So glad I clicked on the post, would’ve missed the absolute ride in the cutoff.

Not OP, but typically asexual is perceived as not having any sexual attraction/having minimal sexual attraction to anyone, regardless of gender. It’s like the opposite of pansexual (attraction to anyone regardless of gender).

Everything is a spectrum of course, which is why people talk about the graysexual area, where you have some attraction but there’s extra things that make it not the “typical” experience of allosexuals (those who experience sexual attraction). Things like Demisexual (attraction only after having a close bond), Aegosexual (having sexual arousal and fantasies, but you don’t think of yourself in those fantasies), etc. These are all microlables to help people narrow down how they feel.

So if you have a distinct and noticeable sexual attraction to one gender, you probably are allosexual (straight, lesbian, gay, etc.). Note, however, that romantic ≠ sexual, and you can be asexual but only date men, or be asexual and date both men and women.

I’m not gonna lie, I stopped using Renshuu due to having other resources at hand and because it just looks so rough, but I think it’s great for a free resource. The fact that they offer a shit ton of vocab/grammar/kanji study sets for free and community built ones is reminiscent of Anki, and Renshuu also uses a SRS. Lots of customization for reviews and answer options.

It’s certainly nowhere as eye-catching and addictive as Duolingo is, so beginners are probably more likely to give up than if they used Duolingo. But honestly, that site lost the point of what learning a language was supposed to be about anyway.

Sometimes I feel I should pick it back up, but at this point I want to focus more on reading/watching content for practice/learning.

The banking app thing is unfortunate, but then I kinda realized that I don’t really need them anyway. I have all the features I need in browser, and text notifications set up for when I spend money.

The wallet not working REALLY sucks, but if I look on the bright side that’s one less thing Google knows about me and my spending.

Yeah, there’s that concern, especially with how students and professionals rn are being snatched away in America.

I still use fingerprint but I totally understand why people turn it off entirely. Just noting for those who might want it on.

Literally was the only Pokemon I was unsure about, I knew the others by heart. Shame too, because I know Pidove and Unfezant, but couldn’t remember the middle evo.

Also your link is broken

Guess this guy grew up with a tablet, smh… _/j
