I’m sure Zorin is solid. I went with Bazzite since it does a lot for gaming out of the box and makes updates pretty easy. I have another Laptop with PopOS on it and have really enjoyed that as well. Again - pretty straight-forward experience if you are coming from Windows.

I took time over the weekend to put Bazzite as my primary OS on both my desktop and ROG Ally. Not because it necessarily performs better but just because I’ve had enough of all the creepy AI shit that MS is doing.

People who say these things clearly have no experience. I spent an hour today trying to get one of the better programming models to parse a response. I gave it the inputs and expected outputs and it COULD not derive functional code until I told it what the implementation needed to be. If it isn’t cookie-cutter problems then it just can’t predict it’s way through it.

We’re fortunate enough to be close to a couple major cities that have some small business options. Otherwise Costco has been a great bet like the other comment mentioned. We’re also trying to avoid Amazon more but it can be hard for some specialty items. We figure that spending less on there is still a positive step.

We used to spend a good amount of money at Target and now we won’t go anywhere near it. It was great for gift shopping and seasonal stuff but we’ve figured out better options with retailers that don’t have gross values.

Ah, yes. Man made horrors beyond my comprehension.

Wow. 40 Years of progress and it still fucks up my indenting and pullet pointing in the worst ways possible. Looking forward to another 40 years of rage-quitting to go use applications that actually work.

Lots of great comments here. If you want to start doing something like exercise then it’s great to set little goals. Even 10 minutes is still 10 more minutes than 0. Give yourself the grace to work up to more. It might take you awhile and that’s ok. You are doing these things for you and not anyone else. You don’t need to feel guilty for taking a day off either.

Also - if you are dealing with depression or other things then I would highly recommending finding resources to help you deal with that. There’s no shame in that and sometimes people need help to manage these things. Best wishes!

Love the dialogue here but you always have to follow the money trail. The best way to keep what we love is to bankroll our instances to keep them running and scalable to additional users without ads. Remember, if you aren’t paying for the product then you become the product. Meta has nothing without selling ads or monetizing user data. That’s their business model. As long as we chip in we can always maintain our independence. I’m fine with never seeing or interacting with content from Threads.

The ad exclaims that your husband will think “it’s better than downtown.”

What are they serving downtown that is being outclassed by this?

Keep up the great work! We believe in you! Just a reminder to everyone to help sustain lemmy.world by donating in the sidebar! If 1000 people all donated $2/month then that’s 24K a year to keep the hardware running! Reddit is what happens when you rely on Corporate Overlords to provide the services you love.

I already signed up for the $5/month Patreon for lemmy.world and I would happily do more if Lemmy really takes off. I have no issue paying a nominal amount of money to support a community that I’m part of.

I want Lemmy to grow but it’s a lot of fun right now because the people that took the time to figure this out all genuinely want to be here and have a sense of community.

The developer for RIF told me to come here. I figured that I should trust the person that created the app that I’ve used for hundreds of hours.

They have a Patreon link in the sidebar of lemmy.world 😀

Huge thanks to the lemmy.world team over the last couple of days to scale and maintain the instance! There’s a link for donating on the sidebar for lemmy.world - just a couple bucks a month can help us support this instance!

This is great. Really enjoying the vibe so far and figuring stuff out. Like the tech around fediverse and excited to see where it goes.

I recently did some Vanilla with my brother since he hadn’t splurged for all the DLC yet. It was still a ton of fun but missed having Idealigion. Just love all the depth it adds!
