I think I’ve come around to preferring Halloween in a way. It’s not a big thing in Australia (though I feel it’s growing) and a lot of people whinge about it being American. I don’t really participate in Halloween but the core thing here is just people having fun. And I can get behind that.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux is awesome at home, but aren't y'all forced to use Windows at work?
10·13 days agoI have to use 11 at work. In a way I’m thankful because I’ve been exposed to how shit it is and it makes me appreciate Linux more. I can’t see them changing anytime soon as it seems like we’re getting more dependent on their shit.

1·14 days agoJapanese Taco Bell is nothing uniquely special. Though I only have Australian Taco Bell as a comparison.
I’ve kept my streak alive of finishing at least one video game a month (started Nov 23)
Social sport is good. No pressure to be skilled, people can be really encouraging and the ones that aren’t move on pretty quickly. You don’t need to be good, you just need a good attitude.
I’ve got a family member interested in switching to Linux but the finance software is an obstacle. I had a look and landed on gnucash which I thought I would trial myself and then see if if would work for them. I like it!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•People who are learning a foreign language: what are you learning & how is it going?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is too high for a pending authorization charge for a gasoline purchase?
2·1 month agoIn Australia we fill up first and then go in to pay.
I think you can prepay in some apps or at truck stops or whatever but its far from the norm and usually a choice.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some gross or disgusting facts about the human body that people aren't aware of?
2·1 month agoI read this as demonoid cyst which might be a better name.
Love sports. All the sports I watch are currently on the one service. Occasionally I’ll go to a game but prefer the lounge room stadium.
I’ve moved workplace in the last few years and having sport to talk about made it so much easier socially.
I do wish the gambling ads would fuck right off though.
Firefox and DuckDuckGo.

I never really watched a lot of movies growing up but then at some point realised there was so much that I was missing. Now I view the history of cinema as a smorgasbord and I am really enjoying jumping all over it.
I have my old 10 install and my Mint install on different drives. I just unplug the one I don’t want and swap them physically to change.
It was a great point of friction when I switched to Linux because booting Windows meant actual physical action which acted as a deterrent.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you use a system-default or a custom wallpaper for your personal computer? If custom, what kind of wallpaper & why?
3·2 months agoI was running screenshots I would grab from anime if there was a lingering shot on a nice scene. Had a really nice sky and clouds shot for a while. Phone has had a nice Hiroshi Nagai painting since I got it.
Currently just on one of the Mint defaults since the latest installation. I’ll change it. Eventually.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Windows 10 refugees flock to Linux in what devs call their "biggest launch ever"
2·2 months agoSeconding this because I have had that issue. Switched over to an AMD card and life was good.
I wouldn’t be so sure about that. The state government of Queensland, Australia just lifted a 12 year ban on IBM getting government contracts after a colossal fuck up.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which Android Subsonic/Navidrome clients you prefer?
3·2 months agoDsub is great but looks slightly dated. Tempo might be what you’re looking for.



I burnt a Windows 7 install disc about a month ago. A guy I work with found his old PC and wanted a fresh install so he could give it to someone.
I discovered Ventoy about a week ago…
