This is my fourth profile on the Fediverse lol. This time, I’m hoping Mbin is where I stay!
I don’t have any musicians that consistently make me feel that way, so have a list of songs instead:
In Atlanta it’s like a -55% chance it works
I’ve been learning Norwegian Bokmål and it’s pretty interesting seeing all the words that it and English have in common (as well as their differences).
Also, Toki Pona as others have mentioned. Might seem like a joke language at first, but the community is really vibrant and kind. You can make some real, meaningful connections through it. Plus, it takes maybe a weekend to get good at Toki Pona.
I’ve been using searxng.site. It’s a deployed SearXNG instance. So far, it works good enough for my use cases. Unless I’m looking up something VERY niche, I get quick results (the images tab is a little slow, but not even close to unbearable).
I would have rolled with Ecosia, but as you can see from my previous post on my profile, I was frustrated that there was no option to filter by “past year”.
I don’t think this would ever be achievable. It also sounds like a broader form of technocracy (to my very much unqualified brain)
I also had a similar experience with Nordvpn.
You said you needed something more immediate, I’d say there’s nothing wrong with being a waiter / waitress / bartender while learning something else. They’re not the most secure jobs for sure, but they’re not exactly going extinct.
Alternatively, hotel staff make a lot (at least a lot for the small town I grew up in).
If you’re looking for a trade skill - HVAC, plumbing and being a mechanic will all be skills that will stick with you through life and they all pay pretty well.
Truck driving is really, really in-demand right now. If you’re willing to drive 12-14 hours some days, shower at travel stops and sleep in your cab (at least, that’s what I’m hearing a lot) then that could be for you.
True, I really do think Linus was right when he said “fuck Nvidia” but sadly it’s still a point against Linux :(
Just run stuff out-of-the-gate
Connect to WiFi properly in a Panera (ymmv, but this was my experience with 3 different Ubuntu-based distros)
Play pretty much any game (Proton has gotten us far but it’s not the end-all-be-all)
Be usable without the command line at all (tried giving my GF Linux Mint, no it’s not entirely usable without the command line, and I haven’t found a distro that is)
*Run Nvidia flawlessly out-of-the-box
*Be backed up fully and easily (no, TimeShift is not easy, it’s just easy for you after looking up documentation for a hot minute)
*Except immutable distros like Silverblue *I know Pop_OS! comes with Nvidia drivers before anyone says that, but it’s the odd-one-out
How to Disappear Completely is so good
