Interesting, never thought about using python as an excel replacement. Definitely wouldn’t work in my current work setting. But I just started taking a python class and I’ll have to keep this in mind.

Also as a casual pc gamer, here is my take.

I just started getting into github projects, and have learned a few things. Like windows and linux can be ran on the same operating system (called wsl) for free and already built in windows. It is pretty useful for developer projects. The point being, there is a good chunk of gamers that are tech savy. Learning linux is not that hard especially with no barriers to entry.

But MAINLY, because people are tired of changing operating systems. https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey

Windows 10 has INCREASED in popularity more than windows 11 compared to last year for steam users. Since Windows 10 will be officially discontinued in a year, that is actually bonkers. This shows that people (gamers) are getting tired of making unnecessary changes/updates to things that aren’t broken and work fine.

Linux is a free option for that. BUT… until you can play all steam game son linux, the switch won’t happen. The linux popularity will only increase once games can be run on it. Then, the gamers will teach their families how to use linux, which won’t be hard, because distros like Ubuntu are already user friendly (Macs are also based off linux as well). It has desktop, file exploration, browsers, etc.

Since most people just use their computers for work, email, social media, streaming, etc., there is actually no reason for people not to use linux really. The only reason they haven’t is because they are not per-installed on computers and windows is already ‘free’.

ain’t falling for that

No real info, so I am not hopeful and cynical.

My guess the new superpower is AI stuff or a shop to give them money for the memes.

Hello, I am also new at self hosting semi recently. There is a bit of a learning curve, but once your over the hump, it gets a lot better.

First, 100% use docker desktop if your using windows. Most github projects have a docker file you can use. This will take out 90% of the setup required and you don’t have to worry about applications not working on your computer. Thats the point of docker, to remove the “doesn’t work on my computer” problem.

Here are some independent github projects that I found useful for me and were simple to setup.

• excalidraw - digital whiteboard. You don’t need to self host this, but its a fun little project. You can just go to excalidraw.com and have 100% of the same features (it is all saved in your browser’s cache).
• mealie - I cook a lot so this is a nice ‘permanent’ cook book to have.
• warracker - I always forget what I have warranties on, so this will be helpful for me.
• Arr projects like sonarr, radarr, Jellyfin - sonarr and radarr is a good project to sink your teeth into (do not recommend using docker for this, I had issues with my docker container connecting to my external drives because I have Windows Home edition). This ecosystem is usually everyone’s first project along with pihole since its so useful. Sonarr and radarr will probably take you a week or weekend, Jellyfin will take like 5 min.

I used https://kiwix.org/en/ to download wikipedia originally.

Then I saw in the desktop app that you can download a lot more “wikis” other than wikipedia. This is their library. https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng

It includes computers, phones, game consoles, appliances, vehicles, tools, even medical devices and apparel.

Okay this is so fucking cool.

Only if the day ends with a major headline.

Talent is hard to define. In my opinion talent = unobserved practice/study.

This picture gets the concept across pretty well. But it can also happen with kids that “happen” to be good at something. Like sports. Was that kid a natural at baseball, or did he just watch a lot of baseball games and played backyard baseball a shit ton so he just knew the rules/strats before any of the other kids?

Some people learn faster than others yes, but learning in itself is a skill.

Maybe this isn’t true, but it is definitely 100% more effective than assuming talent is outside of your control or an obstacle that can not be cleared.

You did good. Fostering and developing the younger generation.

I compete in video games (smash bros ult) and there is a lot of humbling experiences when you are unable to beat a child that is 10 years younger than you every week for 2 straight years.

I heard that anonymous is taking credit for the ddos attack today.

If so, fucking finally!

I always had issues with chromecast. And I haven’t used one in 5+ years. I assumed they were better by now?

Only if they want to.

And that is a HUGE if. Most people after their formal education decide to stop learning. And learning is the most important form of change.

Love Kojima. Will play anything he makes even for a little because of his legacy.

I am really trying to get into games blind, especially a Kojima experience, but can someone tell me if this is looking like a ‘true’ Death Stranding 2, as in, the same overall game play loop of delivering packages and finding human connection in the world?

Well… to me this seems awfully close to “stop hitting yourself problem”.

Why are you looking comments everywhere? Do you really need that information to make a decision? Is it so bad to play a bad game now and then? I don’t see a problem, because this problem is easily avoidable by not going to social media for opinions.

Or am I missing the point?

Yeah no robber is doing this.

Stalker yes. But most people don’t get stalked.

And this is coming from someone who thinks any bumper stickers that contain any words is trashy.

Hi! My partner is a middle school band teacher. I have been trying to find anything that is music related for her so I can help her classroom workflow.

Any recommendations? Because I honestly can’t find anything good. I will check out Sheetable soon.

Yeah, as a past tax accountant, I wouldn’t count on it.

Because not only would you need to be updating tax regulation every year (which is completely unpredictable with new laws and interpretations) you would also need to update it for every country and state/providence.

No one should do that for free.

My partner and I have played 4 hours so far. It is definitely a good game, feels smooth platforming wise. Also isn’t ‘easy’ (casual gamer standards) since it has a lot of different types of gameplay that they throw at you and makes you think on your feet. For instance, my partner (who is a gamer, but only for certain genres) had trouble with flying/driving in some sections.

So far a 5/5 game. I did come across some bugs, but nothing annoying or game breaking. Just funny ‘hiccups’ like sticking to objects that can be fixed by just button mashing or something.
