That’s the biggest thing. apt install xyz works on my N100 based box every time I expect it will, but it was always a crapshoot on a Pi. If you don’t need GPIO you don’t need a Pi.

Exactly. As far as Linux has come in terms of ease of desktop use and hardware compatibility, there is still a barrier in knowing how to know which flavor is right for you and, almost more importantly, why that flavor is right.

The kernel is too old for newer AMD gpu drivers to work, but switching to a newer kernel isn’t too hard. I had to when I built a new computer last winter, but I have also used various *nixes for a good long time.

Knowing how to discover you need a newer kernel is a bit tough for recent convert, though.

English speaking? Pretty big. There’s also vast portions of the internet that are not in English, but if you don’t speak anything besides English, chances are you’re not going to come across it too much.

Note to anyone heeding this advice: it has to be a metal water pipe, no plastic.

Balatro is FTL with playing cards. If you think FTL trains you to fly interstellar missions, do not play Balatro.

They didn’t give you shit. You paid them for a service. Corps are not your friends.

Yes, but HL2 does not.

Male gorillas and lions both top out around 500lbs. Do you think you could kill a cat the same size as you if that cat wanted you dead? With your bare hands?

Paralyzing is super broken in Skyrim. It doesn’t actually matter how long the target is paralyzed, because paralyzing them at all causes them to fall, starting a lengthy stand-up animation, during which they’re vulnerable. Hit them, they fall. They start to get back up, so you hit them more. Eventually, they stay down.

If it’s big and metal there’s a scrapyard that will, at the very least, take it off your hands for free. Free metal is free metal. Getting the big metal thing to the scrapyard is another story.

Dont add to the problem. Just buy some headphones or earbuds.

The best dog I ever had was a pit. Sweet as pie, just wanted to cuddle and love. We chose him because he was a big meaty guy with the most adorable face you’d ever seen, and because he needed a home ASAP. We’d take him on walks and people would cat call him from passing cars, or literally stop us and ask if they could dog-sit. He spent nearly a decade with us, just loving and farting and cuddling and snoring.

He really didn’t need any help to become a great dog, except that I needed to train him that the cat was a friend and not something to chase and put our mouth on. That took all of a weekend, and that was after he’d been abandoned and abused for half a year before we got him. I know it’s not true for every individual, but many times all a dog really needs a a good home with people that love it.

Hey everyone, make sure you aren’t doxxing yourself. Comments in the Fediverse can be very hard to delete.

Drives do this on their own.

Is it mangosteen? I’m guessing it’s mangosteen.

Yes, it’s the doctors that are playing at politics. Those nefarious OBGYNs who are trying to get babies and mothers through childbirth safe and healthy. The bastards.

If a bunch of enthusiasts are simply forgetting their basic post-OC troubleshooting and causing tons of RMAs… well that’s just funny.

Seems like MAGA is already running on fumes.

Ah, the Harrison Bergeron school of parenting.
