Just for clarification: with these style of posts, am i supposed to read the bottom one first? I can’t remember when these types of posts came into circulation, but I’ve been puzzled about them ever since. It’s like the first/top line is sometimes the punchline, and i feel like i spoiled a joke or story by reading it from top to bottom.
The user that screenshooted it had the bottom post selected, that’s why it’s bigger. However, top to bottom is the normal chronological order, see how they mention the other one to respond in the second and third posts.
Sometimes screencaps of xitter posts look like the repost the original post is below, and the repost’s comments are above. It’s really annoying, and makes it hard to tell on other screencaps where it should be obvious that it’s read top-down.
That happens when someone “quotes” a tween instead of responding to it. This is not twitter technically tho.
Right, but it creates this situation where now it isn’t always obvious at a glance that a screencapped conversation should be read from top down. That’s why the commenter above had to ask.
This is a mastodon post.
I realize that, what I said was that the prevalence of posts (mostly from xitter) that read bottom to top creates the situation where it’s not automatically obvious at a glance that a post should be ready from top-down anymore. Hence the confusion of the commenter above.
I was explaining why they had to ask, not wondering why this post is read top-down.
Pride flag yet excluding laptop users.

The L in LGBT is for laptop
i am confuse i thought it was Lettuce Gay Bacon and Tomato
Got it wrong, L is for lalaland
How are you all just swapping OSes all the time like it’s nothing? I have so much shit to configure.
But that’s the fun part. I switch OSes so I can get back into configuring.
Is he fine if it wasn’t for my amount of severe or services.
If I don’t host any homelab stuff on it it’sd be super fast
Most of my stuff is hosted on my server but even just on my desktop I have to install/log in to everything. It’s a few hours of effort at least.
Same
And then @lightnsfw@reddthat.com heard about NixOS, where the whole OS, along with all services like Matrix or nginx is configured using a couple of text files, all versioned in Git…
Tomorrow, I will pick up a second, empty, work notebook. I am part of a small group that implements a user driven Linux support in our 6k employee group.
We will make it more then a week, I promise :)
Been using it for a couple of decades now. It just keeps getting better. You can’t say that about many things these days.
On my PC, for some time now, every week is “week of the Linux desktop”. My user experience only got better since I ditched microslop.
looks at PC “Are you ready champ?” - Me
I’ve never been more ready. - My PC
I’ve been having that classic moment for the last 3 months since switching at home:
“Can you hear that?”
“What?”
“Silence.”
PipeWire not working?
could be, but probably referring to no notifications, fan noise, and/or HDD clicking
Do people on Lemmy not know what a joke is?
probably forgot to pacman -S humor
that’s why I said could be
Honestly, this is such a great idea. Get the IT team to create a bootable distro with all the apps the average user needs. Have a video they can watch to get the basics down, have IT available to install one-off software.
At the end of the week give people the choice to keep going or go back to Windows/Mac and get feedback.
Try again in a couple of quarters.
Most people use web-based apps anyway.
If they’d tried this while I was still doing tier 1 support I’d have burned that place to the ground by lunch time.
There is a right way to do this and a wrong way. I’ve seen it done the wrong way plenty of times but I’ve also seen this done the right way.
Most recently, there was a push to get rid of Microsoft Word, etc. and we were moving to Google Workplace.
They made it clear that there would be training available throughout the transition and that approvals for exceptions would require division head sign off (essentially the VP).
The day of, there were signs everywhere for how to get help. Extra people were hired to help people migrate. They were trained to get people out of Microsoft and into Drive. Prizes for best report. Slack channels, office hours, helpdesk, and even in person questions.
Company put their money where their mouth was.
It was the best case I saw of a company actually understanding how much of a pain it was going to be and doing what they could to lessen the burden.
Compare that to another company I worked with that went from Macs to PC. “You figure it out.” And IT support went off-shore.
So yeah I get where you’re coming from. But if an IT department handled a roll out the right way, I would volunteer for help desk.
I don’t think a week is long enough
I literally presented the first draft for switching to linux at the company I work for, today…
I could definitely get far more work done on Linux than anything else.
In honor of this week of the Linux desktop I updated my Arch system. Will update again for the next week of the Linux desktop. Keepe in the loop!
Do you only update once per week? Doesn’t sound very Arch.
Starting my third week of the Linux Desktop. I’ve never been so happy to switch DE’s as I am this time, and without a dual boot option for windows to claw itself back. Goodbye forever, Windows. My new DE is Fedorable
interesting interaction
