Fantastic. Pressed and held map icon and I'm now in Germany, in the village, and about to give it a go.

So much better than reddit. However, there are still power mad mods here that will censor and silence you if your view doesn't align. Particularly larger regional communities. The reason is during the exodus, the reddit mods snapped up all the communities here, then continued their censorship.

By and large though, this is a MUCH better place.

Doooo NOT watch it.

My brother-in-law sent it to me maybe 20 years ago now and every horrible moment of it is still there making me flinch and pain.

Great tip! Thank you

As soon as you hear background music, you're 100% site it's not journalism, and it's a manipulation of what's being shown.

True journalism shows facts. Adding music sways emotions.

They are assholes. We have a business account with them. They locked my online banking. I could only unlock it by going to the branch in person.

Nearest branch at the time? About 2000km

Obviously I don't have online banking, and give zero FS about them exiting.

Every single interaction with them has been a shit show.

They're probably dropping money into data centres rather than dealing with people?

Just read your comments about OSM data etc. Fantastic! Well done.

About to head on holiday to Europe, so have downloaded it and will play as I go.

Thank you!

May I never need a shotgun.

That was good.

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!

 

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.

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

 

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.

 

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?

 

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.

 

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.
