On a lighter note: Why do people still buy fast food? in c/[email protected]

I know it sound crazy, but maybe some days use the time you spend on traveling to and from the fast food place and cook home instead multiple portions of food you enjoy for a fraction of cost.

People at work wants me to do something and using phrasing, like "can we check this?" , "we must do xy quickly". What do you mean WE? If you want me to do something personally just fucking say it MF! It makes my blood boil.

Microsoft will charge $30 for an extra year of security updates on Windows 10 - NotebookCheck.net News in c/[email protected]

Same. Since the Win 11 update on my work laptop I got so fed up with the OS, that I installed Linux on both of my desktop PC and my wifes laptop. Zero regrets, no more MS bullshit on my personal stuff.

I know it will fail but I really hope it will fail big time to accelerate the dowfall of this soulless corporate piece of shit company.

I worked in a coffeee shop a long time ago and we had a new girl, who just started. Its the end of the shift and we told her to put on rubber gloves, we will show her how to clean the coffee machine.

She went to the store room and after 10 minutes she returned with only one glove on, holding the 100 pack box of disposable gloves and with visible confusion as she explained that we run out of right hand gloves as she could only find these marked with "L"

I did it finally, deleted win10 and installed Linux Mint (lemmy.world)

This is just to share my experience with everyone, especially the people still undecided.

I was planning the switch for months, and finally had a couple hours undisturbed from the wife and the kids :)

It was a slightly rocky start, as my USB wifi receiver did not have native drivers, but with wired internet and the official Mint tutorial the rest of the transition was super smooth.

The OS install went flawlessly and within an hour I had all the basic programs, browser and utilities up and running. I love that I just download the app from the dedicated place, no pointless web surfing for the latest versions.

I backed up my steam folder (with the rest of my files of course), so after installing the steam client and some quick synchronization I had my installed games library back in minutes. I did some testing and everything works great. As I own a steam deck I already had some experience with games not running natively on Linux, but a saw many great tutorials for beginners. I cant wait to test out some more games!

Edit: thank you for all the positivity and great feedback! I know Lemmy users love Linux and I have to admit I feel a little bit more included :D

Who knows, maybe I will start warching Star Trek next...

Best use of android tablet (lemmy.world)
 

I'm getting an android tablet soon (will be a present and a little birdie told it to me). Nothing fancy, just some mid-range 10 inch one with basic features. I'm planning to mainly use it for comic books, but while I'm at it might as well watch movies on it.

So my question is: any good setup/apps/guides for movie streaming or downloading I should know about? I don't have a home server, or anything, usually just torrent what I want on my desktop PC and watch it there, but I have zero experience with pirating movies on android.

I will definitely not use the tablet for social media, google services, etc so I can do with it whatever I want, it's purely for comics/ebooks/movies.
