It's crazy big ped is in power, and nothing is stopping it. It literally blows my mind every parent of the country has not rallied and dragged that guy onto the street.

Some weird mass disconnect.

Ah, the classic Queensland bush nut from Australia.

It has taken the world by storm.

And rightfully so, it is the king of all nuts, without a doubt.

It has no peer, and I don't blame you.

They are perfect by themselves but if you add a little bit of garlic salt to them or some other flavoring they are just beyond belief.

The area where they are originally from in Queensland has obviously the world's largest producers, and some of their specialty herbs and spices they put on them just are unbelievable.

Thank the gods. Nobody wants that proprietary walled garden in Ubuntu.

It's just a toll for Ubuntu to control, and maybe even sell itself one day to Goog's or MS or similar.

Don't want it in Debian.

Humanity has never needed a solid Linux phone and ecosystem, more than it does now.

I thought there were rules on the number of syllables that this one seems to change around. Can anybody clarify?

Photography community for the fediverse. Where should I create it? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi all,

I want to start a photo community.

I'm trying to figure out the best place..

Mastadon?

Lemmy?

This will be a lot of (hopefully) high quality images. What is the best place for this?

What about pixelfed?

I'm a bit stumped!

Linux Mint Taskbar (panel) on left, rather than bottom? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi all, about to install latest LMDE with Cinnamon. I like my taskbar / dock on the left, to make better use of real estate.

Mint doesn't have that option to move it to the left.

Can I ask if anyone has done this, in a good, usable way?

Thanks for your help.

Quality online computer course for beginner to intermediate? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi all,

I want to upskill my aunty. She has below average skills, and does things like send a screenshot, when I want the copy paste of the text string (not an image).

She stores files and folders in the wrong place.

Writes notes on paper, rather than copy / paste.

She wrangles spreadsheets in a very tedious manner. Rather than running formulas, or selecting and dragging a series etc.

Are there any online courses, even if paid, that are QUALITY, that can take someone up a level to be a bit more savvy?

She has an admin job, and fears for her work. So, I want to help her.

Yes, her work has said they'll pay if she finds something appropriate, but I said I'd look to help.

Any help would be great! Thank you

Has anyone successfully baked a good sourdough in a Weber Baby Q gas barbecue? (lemmy.ml)
 

As per the title I am traveling full-time in my van at the moment and used to make sourdough but I'm trying to figure out the best way that I would go about it in a baby q.

I also don't want to use a heavy Dutch oven as I have weight restrictions with how much I can carry.

Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Want an alt account here. Can i port my block lists? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi all,

I've got some more personal questions to ask, so, to avoid doxing, want another, second account. This account is pretty easy to piece together who i am. I can't have that with my planned community questions.

However, it's taken years to create my block lists.

Can they be exported and imported into another account?

Laptop battery goes flat, when powered off, only on Debian (lemmy.ml)

Hi all,

I had this laptop (Lenovo Carbon X1 Gen 6), and when it had Debian, it would just go flat on sleep, and even when powered off. So strange. I checked all BIOS settings etc, but could never figure it out.

I moved it to Fedora, and it was perfect. Battery life was boosted like crazy, acted as it was meant to.

However, I have tomove away from Fedora, due to them dropping X11 (it's an accessibility issue I'm facing with my tools) and I forgot about said issue with Debian.

Back on Debian now, woke up, powered on laptop, which was fully charged last night, and it's flat again.

What is it, that Debian is doing differently, that is making it go flat, when powered off?

Please note, I am doing a proper shutdown. Not just closing lid, sleep, hybernate, etc.

Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

UPDATE: I booted into a fedora live disk, and shutdown. This time the battery did not go flat at all when shutdown, indicating that it is absolutely debian related, not BIOS or anything else.

Paint for miniatures is a rip. Buy normal acrylics, save thousands (lemmy.ml)
 

All you need is some Jo Sonja acrylics. Cheap. High quality. Work perfectly.

Get base colours. Mix your own, and make some beautiful colours that nobody else has.

Save money. Win.

The industry doesn't want you to know you can just mix your colours, just like every other artist out there does.
