Ackshually, KDE is an organisation that makes KDE Plasma (a DE) and KDE Linux (a distro)

“Big enough to fill most” then after say “we’re talking about shoes right?”

Step one, write in a dream journal or just try to remember the dream as soon as you wake up. Doing this will improve your dream memory instead of it just fading away.

Step two, have a check to see if you’re dreaming as a habit. Holding your nose closed and breathing through it is a nice one since you’ll be able to breath anyway in a dream.

Step three, establish cues, like every time you walk through a door or whatever just so you’re doing it frequently, the more the better.

Step four, wait until you get a dream where you try breathing through your nose. You’ll become lucid instantly and gain control over the dream.

Step five is just exploration of how to maintain the lucid dream state. Generally it’s very exciting to have a lucid dream but excitement wakes you up. Spinning around in circles and trying to involve all senses such as touch, smell, taste etc will help you make the dream clearer and more real.

I used to be into this and had a blast flying around, teleporting, conjuring and whatnot.

Yeah, you should shake off the water first (12 times is a good number), then rub your hands to spread the water over your hands so your evaporating water on all parts of your hands.

Takes less than a minute and gives you completely dry hands. This works with type 1 and 3 mentioned by you. Type 2 like the Dyson Airblade work if you pull your hands through slowly but then they will take a couple of minutes to dry on their own. With type 2 shaking the water off is not important since the machine does it for you.

I’d like to dispute that. My current routine is:

1. Shake hands around 12 times
2. Rub hands under the dryer.

Step 1 removes majority of the water and Step 2 spreads it evenly over your hands so you use all the surface area to dry. I get my hands completely dry within a minute.

I’d recommend starting by hosting a nextcloud instance.

1. Get a desktop computer, pretty much anything will do but having room to add more HDD is important.
2. Install Linux distro like Ubuntu or something
3. Get a static IP so your IP doesn’t change
4. Setup a router port forwarding rule so that an outside address points to your nextcloud instance.

Then do some optional steps:

• Automatically turn on PC when power comes back on (BIOS setting)
• Startup script that runs nextcloud on startup
• Install docker to manage services like nextcloud
• Add some remote desktop thingy to manage your server from your laptop (ssh is also good but a steeper learning curve)
• Get a NAS for storing data with redundancy.
• Have some other form of backup like your current Google account, cloud provider or one of your mates with a similar setup.

That’s pretty much what you need to start hosting your own files, then later on you can setup a email server, media server like Jellyfin, homepage and everything.

Just go one step at a time and when you hit an issue you can and should ask Google or ChatGPT. Remember, everything exposed to the Internet is vulnerable so take security seriously. Always have everything protected by a decently long password, pairing requirement with your server confirming adding a device or an API key.

Wow, I thought the reason Adobe wasn’t on Linux was something more difficult than “Needs dependencies, files and an installer”. Since Wine is LGPL they could literally just bundle it with the software in an installer.

It just makes me think about how Adobe just doesn’t want to the bare minimum for Linux support and force people to learn alternative tools.

Most recently when I used Windows was because of work. I’ve been seeing these posts for a while now and I can make some valid arguments.

• Anti cheat games
• Adobe products (Web is not the same)
• MS Office desktop
• Work has processes linked to Windows specifically (server that only works on IIS Express maybe?)
• Big legacy codebase where they don’t match filename casing.
• Specific Visual Studio scripts or plugins for a DSL.
• Security requirements that need windows APIs (like mandating crowdstrike)
• Music production with a Ableton (it works but it’s not noob friendly).
• You have deep knowledge of Windows and getting up to speed on Linux would take a year without guarantees you have a comparable system.
• Your client is on Windows and you’re making a desktop Windows app that’s not cross platform.

Thankfully none of these apply to me so I’m on Linux but I can see how this is an issue.

It depends on the distro. Bazzite might get in the way since it’s a more closed distro if you want to do docker stuff. I personally managed but setting up extra hard drives that docker (podman) uses, but it was tricky. You’ll not have issue browsing the Web or installing most apps though.

Nobara might be a good choice although the user base is not that big so you might have to migrate in a couple of years.

Otherwise I’d stick to regular distros since they have great support and will stick around for a long time such as Fedora or Kubuntu. I’ve also heard Endavour is really good these days.

You should consider choosing a distro based on the Wayland integration since you can get HDR fractional scaling and variable refresh rate with them.

Not all companies need to grow. Some do perfectly fine by just maintaining their current output like a owner operated single person plumbing company.

Another example can be Walmart, they don’t need to grow but investors prefer growth so it becomes a focus.

There are some companies that need absolutely to grow to survive. This is seen a lot in tech where in order for the business model to make sense they would need some big quantity of users.

Let’s say you got seeded 10M and managed to get to a minimal product with 10k users that get you $2 in revenue monthly but your cost are around 50k monthly. It means you’re making a loss but with 100k users you’d make a profit. To get to 100k you need more investment but to justify that investment being sound you need show growth.

So in general if being bigger gets you economies of scale then making a loss early is fine as long as you can get the investor money you need to survive. So to survive as a business you need to grow.

Those are two ends of a spectrum and everything in between exists as well. So quick answer would be “Companies don’t always need to grow but some really do because their business model only works at a different scale”.

I’m funded my Big Small that is trying to sell more less

Ahh the Cockliking™ is as hard as it gets

They all look great man, congrats

It didn’t die but interest really died down. It’s still based on 20.04 if that’s any indicator and was on 16.04 before that.

Vollaphone with Ubuntu touch can do that.

Next phone I get I’ll get fairphone and check the market for an alternative OS at that time. This might be the push that the Linux phone community needs to make it proper and good.

We currently need a KDE phone that they sell where I can buy a KDE phone and support them that way.

The pieces are coming together for Linux notably:

• SPA support instead of apps.
• Waydroid
• Core components such as calling, sim card actions, recording, speakers can be provided by fairphone via drivers.

I’m getting pretty sick of Google and other corpos locking down Android so fuck them, third best phone OS will have to do and I’ll do banking in the mobile browser page.

I’m going to guess the cup is around 12 nuts high and 5 nuts in diameter at the center.

Let’s assume it’s a cylinder to get the volume (2/5)^2 * pi * 12 as the volume or around 236 nuts.

The packing density of a sphere is 74% but the edges do play a factor so nudge it down by a bit to get 70%

So I’m going to guess 165 nuts.

It’s a Linux distro that’s called Azure Linux and it looks like it’s based on Fedora if the length of package attribution is anything to go by.

That’s just neutered Ubuntu container

Hear me out on this one “Microsoft Linux”
