It was obvious to me. Even without the context of being posed to linuxmemes it’s a silly-sounding story. Not sure why so many people in the comments seem to be taking this seriously—even if they couldn’t tell the original was a joke, it’s posted to a memes community.

communism@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What does everyone here do when you can’t sleep and are wide awake besides being on phone? [serious]6·7 days agoReading books or playing video games. If I have the energy then also working on projects.

Filesystem doesn’t matter hugely but as the other user said, ext4 will be the fastest anyway (possibly xfs, not sure how ext4 and xfs compare). CoW filesystems like btrfs are slower, though most people don’t notice a significant difference. People use CoW filesystems for other features like self-healing ability and backups.

I would strongly recommend getting an AMD card. As the other user says, AMD’s drivers are fully FOSS and work well with Linux. Nvidia has a bad reputation with Linux and especially Wayland, though these days it’s mostly usable, but IME is still prone to breakage upon updates. IME AMD GPUs “just work”.

communism@lemmy.mlto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•What are your highest seeding ratios?English1·11 days agoI know. I never said otherwise. I’m responding to someone who said they can’t seed at all without port forwarding.

communism@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do gamers actually like the look of gaming computers and accessories?9·14 days agoI don’t like the aesthetic but a lot of my stuff is “gaming” branded for functionality reasons (eg high refresh rate monitor; mice with extra buttons; the mech kb I wanted happened to be gaming branded but I would’ve bought a keyboard with same specs and price that was not gaming branded). The gaming aesthetic is a bit weird when you think about it.
Can I ask what the job was?? That sounds like such a dream job if you can do other work at that job and pays well
Librewolf on desktop and IronFox on mobile (GrapheneOS) for daily browsing. I also use Tor Browser or Mullvad Browser on desktop for particularly sensitive browsing.
communism@lemmy.mlOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have any of you ever actually done the cost comparison calculations for cooking vs buying pre-made, including cost of energy?2·1 month agoI don’t have a pressure cooker and cook beans on an electric stove, but I imagine it’s similar
communism@lemmy.mlOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have any of you ever actually done the cost comparison calculations for cooking vs buying pre-made, including cost of energy?3·1 month agoI’m interested to know what power company doesn’t give price for a kWh nor how many kWh you used in a billing period.
Oh I get that too, I just meant that I don’t get a more detailed breakdown, just total kWh usage in a month and price. So I can’t see energy usage by day etc. I’d have to do calculations based on my oven specs and the cost of energy. Which is possible but I’m simply not bothered to do that.
communism@lemmy.mlOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have any of you ever actually done the cost comparison calculations for cooking vs buying pre-made, including cost of energy?10·1 month agoYeah, that’s a factor that is fairly easy to calculate though. And for myself, I’m happy to spend more time within reason. I cook fairly high-effort meals if I think the effort (and time) will pay off. I was mostly asking about energy costs as that’s something I feel is quite hard to quantify properly. With time you know exactly how long it takes and can ask yourself whether or not it’s worth it for you.
communism@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you think Lemmy has a culture separate from Reddit or is it basically the same?26·1 month agoSolely from the parts of the lemmyverse I frequent, yes definitely. People would think you’re quite silly if you talked like a redditor, even if they were too polite to openly mock you for it.
communism@lemmy.mlto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•What's your favourite OS that does not use systemd?2·1 month agoI’m sure it is good for a lot of use-cases, but I want to be able to e.g. play video games without issue. Which is far easier on a glibc system.
communism@lemmy.mlto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•What's your favourite OS that does not use systemd?9·1 month agoAlpine Linux would be my favourite, although I only use it as a server distro. I use Artix as my daily driver for personal computers because of the AUR and glibc (Alpine is musl). I also enjoy Void but it’s not got as much software as Artix repos + AUR.
Moved to an English-speaking country where I lived for some years as a child.
communism@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do Americans want to know the month first and the day second?3·2 months agoMost significant digits first.
That would only make sense if the US wrote the year first, but they don’t. They just seem to slap the date together in a random order
communism@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Should Lemmy consider potentially implementing a "Self-Harm and Suicide Concern" reporting feature similar to Reddit's?8·2 months agoime as a subreddit mod that was nearly exclusively used for harassment, usually transphobic harassment. In the one or two cases where there was a report for someone who had suicidal or self-harm ideation, there’s still zilch I could have done; I would just approve the post so the user could get support and speak to others (the subreddit was a support group for a sensitive subject, so it wouldn’t be out of place for a post to say that the stress of certain things was making them suicidal).
If you’ve never seen that before, I’ve heard the internet has a lot of videos you can check out
You can also pick one that avoids the worst industries ie defence and oil. They will still invest in evil shit but they can still avoid the biggest no-nos.
