Funnily enough my phone corrected it to Lazer when I typed laser the first time

Just another fun quirk of the Google keyboard on Android lately, autocorrecting words to the incorrect spelling

I second Linux Mint

I installed it on my Grandma's PCs not too long ago and even she enjoys it. She's almost 80.

We are having issues with her printer but it's one that has known issues with Linux in general (it's a fancy Epson laser printer, scanner, fax machine combo with bad Windows support) but I'm hoping to rectify that soon.

I would say the GUI reminds me more of Windows 7 than 10 which I really dig

Edit: spleling

My 2am goblin mode basically means the sandwich ain't getting made

I'm just going to shovel some cheese in my mouth, eat a slice of bread, and drink some water.

Or better eat leftovers right out of the fridge

Edit: Cold pizza just hits different at 2am

Honestly I dug the older title

It felt like a statement on how there was really nothing on offer

Yeah it's available but what does it bring?

No, you're not getting a photo.

Dang.

Got my hopes up with that description that you might show off a bit.

The only thing weird are the rings that are way to tight

You really need to get those removed OP before they cause permanent damage

Especially electric ones.

Holy shit you weren't joking!

Given Apple's track record for allowing people to repair their devices this would have been a nightmare product

[-] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago

Don't give Apple any ideas

Depends on how much recoil you get from each shot and how many shots you get before you have to reload

Short bursts towards center of mass is best. You might not hit a head, hitting extremities is basically worthless for dropping a combatant, center of mass is where all the really important stuff is concentrated.

The benefits of growing up around ex military is that you get trained by them as a child

Provided that's even how they work

But what they hell do I know, I drive a forklift for a living not do science things with other science people at the science place

Based Chaos Player (files.catbox.moe)

Every chaos player I've met has held the same opinion though my sample size is fairly small.

I primarily play Orks currently but I'm working on getting into the Chaos. I'm just struggling to pick a specific kind of army for it. Any suggestions?

Happy Pride Month folks!

I'm in the process of switching my machines to Linux Mint from Windows and on my network drive I have a bunch of folders that are sorted with the help of preceding underscores (like this "__folder1" "___folder2")) so that folders appear in a specific order.

When my Mint machines access the drive they sort by the first letter skipping the underscores and I'd really like to have that functionality back rather than having to rename a bunch of folders to try to sort them again. (I'd like to avoid a preceding 'A' workaround if possible as there's a bunch of folders)

Any suggestions? A setting I'm missing (very likely) or something?

Edit: The more I look the more it looks like I'm going to have to make a custom locale to be able to get the sorting I want from the default Mint file manager.

If anyone wants to give an ELI5 or a link to a video that ELI5 I'd be incredibly thankful

I swear that all the stuff I find is like super in depth technical stuff that just loses me in no time flat

I took this pic while on vacation to South East Oregon (specifically a place called Lake Abert) using my Lumix G9 and my 100mm - 300mm lens at the full 300mm and f/5.6.

I was really happy that of all the critters I saw that day this one sat still long enough for me to get a decent shot.

This little bird chilled for quite awhile singing away which was pretty cool.

submitted 2 months ago by Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone to c/pics@lemmy.world

I took this picture on the last day of a not long enough vacation this month. I was really happy with how the moon had just enough light to give the shape of the mountain some contrast and how the wispy clouds cought the light from various sources.

I took this with my Lumix G9 with a 25mm f/1.7 lens, a 15 second exposure, and the iso set to 1600.

I had taken quite a few shots with the intent of stacking them but those attempts just didn't come out feeling like it did to be there. This shit though captured that feeling IMO.

I can't wait to give My Adams the same treatment later this year.

Image Description:

A Tumblr post by user homunculus-argument that reads:

Was talking with my therapist about how it's possible to completely lose one's own identity to people-pleasing - when you grow up being constantly preoccupied with concerns about what other people want, and the ideal outcome is always whatever makes everyone else happy, it's possible to simply not learn to know yourself at all. If the only thing you've ever strived for in life is to make everyone else happy, you just never pause to think what you want, or what you would enjoy, independently from anyone else's desires.

As an example of this, I recalled that for the longest time, I just didn't listen to music when I was alone, because the thought never occurred to me. I didn't have my own taste in music, I was fine with listening to whatever the people I was with wanted to listen to, but whose music would I be listening to if I wasn't with anyone else? She thought this was a great observation, and gave me a homework assignment to find a song I like, just on my own and for myself, and show it to her next week.

So I guess my therapist is about to learn about the existence of mongolian folk metal.
