Store brand cola zero here, it tastes very very close to Coca Cola for about half the price, which I’m very happy with. In restaurants I’m happy enough with Coca Cola, or a Rivella.

Lol, ever considered going to an optician? 😋

Thankfully you can change the playback speed of that video!

Storm does look like a fitting name here!

I always get reminded of Vimes’ Boots Theory.

Ooh, never heard of Ceratech trackballs before. Price-wise they seem to be a lot more expensive than the Logitech ones which are more readily available everywhere.

The whole Space Pilgrim series is charming and has a nice storyline. Can recommend.

Ooh, you’ve got the jackpot!

That looks like a sweet little set.

If it’s any comfort to you (heh), a Linux user trying to install Windows on a second drive would probably see its bootloader ruined by Windows as well.

That’s why I don’t do dualboots. Screw it.

It’s a fun little game, especially for the Steam Deck. Finding the right synergy so your backpack can deal max damage is very nice. Unfortunately, as time progresses and more and more items get unlocked, it gets harder to find any synergy as there are too many items not working together. Still, fun game where the ultimate goal is to build up your village with goods you bring home after every dungeon run.

Linux and Windows are probably just equally as difficult to use to the average user. Might as well go Linux with less obnoxious features like copilot and recall. My dad was a Windows user for many many years, but he still knew zilch about how to solve problems in Windows. The average user would need to google anyway, no matter which OS.

And with the right distro (Linux Mint for example) you would have zero interactions with the terminal. Everything’s done via the GUI, just like Windows.

I’ve had to interact with weird things in Windows lately which I had to google up like ‘open the run programs and type in srvcmngmt.msc’ or whatever that was again. Something that apparently couldn’t have been done via the GUI. Great job!

For the record I am still mainly a Windows user.

Windows 10 is about to be end-of-life this October. You probably think ‘just update your OS to Windows 11’, but many computers are deemed unfit for Windows 11 by Microsoft.

In order to move on to Windows 11, many people, and I do really mean a ridiculously large amount of people would need to buy a new computer or laptop. In the meantime their old systems are still fit for everyday use, so there is quite a lot of e-waste coming up.

Instead of just dumping the old computers you can just put Linux on them and continue using them. Linux costs nothing, just time. So if you don’t have specialized software which absolutely must have Windows, you might as well just switch to Linux and keep using your old systems which are still perfectly fine for your everyday needs.

My old gaming laptop that I still use right now is from 2018. It does have the TPM 2.0 chip that Windows 11 requires, but its CPU is like just one generation too old for it. So, what do I do? When Windows 10 stops getting its updates, throw it away? Naw man, Linux will work. You can even game on Linux just fine as the Steam Deck has proven already, so I’ll just switch my sweet laptop over to Linux and continue using it as usual.

Wow, I could immediately see that the image is AI-generated… and it is also fucking ugly.

Which immediately explains why almost all AI faces look similar. It’s so clearly recognized as AI.

Didn’t the UK recently have a controversial online safety act or something? And didn’t many servers defederate UK servers as result?

Oh that’s a very cute squeezer!

I totally misunderstood and also missed the community subject. Don’t know anything about Voyager, sorry about that.

Just go to lemmyverse, click the communities tab, and click the instances filter. Hide all except the one you want to see all communities from.

Lemmyverse?

Yeah, it was known that BlueBrixx lost its StarTrek license. There were already speculations about LEGO taking it over at that time, as that’d make sense.
