Yeah, that makes more sense. Thank you.

I've told this story on here before, but here it is again: I used to write for a very Windows-centric computer magazine, and after a couple of years I noticed that most of the content I was writing was about how to make Windows behave less like Windows. So I thought I'd give Linux a go, and I haven't looked back since. I've had phases when I tried convincing all my friends to make the switch, but I've realized that it's just not for everyone. I don't think I'm obsessed, I don't customize my desktop much, I just want my system to work smoothly.

They don't look the same though. I've only been to the Murena website and looked at their "phone 2", that's not the same hardware as Fairphone.
Edit: okay, I should have scrolled down a bit more. It looks like they made a " Murena Fairphone" too, where they've given a Fairphone the Murena treatment.

Murena phones are basically Fairphone with /e/OS
One of the main features of Fairphones is that they are easily repairable - it doesn't look like Murena has done anything to make it easier to fix.

Perhaps Fairphone?

Wait, so Apple is doing something good for 3rd party apps? I did not expect that to happen in my lifetime

Perhaps "Contrast"? It's a gloomy puzzler with a good soundtrack, I would imagine it's quite engaging to watch as well as play.

I guess it's a subtle difference. Perhaps it's just something that I think, and I'm not a native English speaker. It just sounds weird to me. being anti-Hitler would also be weird. He's already gone. Being pro-nazi or anti-nazi would make more sense(in my head)

Just install Steam (and maybe Lutris) and you're done.
If OP has games they want to play from Epic and GOG, Heroic Games Launcher is a good addition.

What's the point of being "pro-Hitler"? the fucker is dead. And has been for ages. He's not taking back the power. I would understand "Hitler-sympathizer", but being pro-Hitler? You're a century late, buddy.

I don't remember this one either, but wasn't there a while back when it was a trend to wreck bathrooms/toilets? Not sure if it was a challenge, but it was something that started on TikTok.

If you want a Linux handheld, why not buy a Steam Deck? What does this do better than the Deck?

Is the deer the Libreboot logo? Mine has a rabbit (Coreboot). I flashed Coreboot on my old Chromebook a couple of years ago and it's been running different flavours of linux since without any fuss.

In the high end Audio/headphone community many people still use them. Some of them are really expensive, too... However, as far as I remember, certain iPods are still considered some of the best portable players because their DAC is still really good.

What do you consider "basic tools" in this case? I've got a screwdriver and measuring tape.

Thank you very much for your answer and suggestions! Do you know if any of the switches for the Glove80 are comparable to Cherry Clears? There is a tactile option, but if it's closer to MX browns, I might want to go with the clicky option. Also, do you have an opinion about Bastard Keyboards? I think they look interesting, and they're in Europe, which works best for me.

That's a pretty nice bundle. The games I would want from that bundle are already in my collection, but if they weren't, I'd be all over it!

I knew I forgot something! My location is Northern Europe (EU). My budget is quite flexible, as I'm planning to put money aside for a bit until I can afford a keyboard that works for me. The more I look at the Glove80, the more I think that's a good bet. What are the pros and cons of this keyboard?
Hello! I had a stroke in early 2022 and was paralyzed in my left arm. Before the stroke I was an avid PC gamer and was working as a journalist, so I was used to use a keyboard a lot. I would like to get back to using keyboard and mouse both for fun and work (lately I've mostly been gaming on my Steam Deck) Today I've mostly recovered but my left hand is still affected somewhat: I'm having trouble keeping my wrist at an angle so my hand hovers above the keys, so I would prefer a keyboard with (perhaps adjustable) wristrests. The fine motor skills in the fingers are not very good, especially the pinky and ring finger are affected by this. I really like dactyl manuform keyboards, and would like to try them, and think they might make it easier for my pinky and ring-y to reach (I figure;"why not?" I basically have to learn how to type again from scratch anyway, so I might as well go with a different layout) My current keyboard (a regular TKL mech) has clear cherry switches which I really like (I like that they're more stiff than browns), so something with similar switches would be great. I'm no good at wiring or soldering, so a pre-made keyboard would be necessary. I realize this is quite an extensive list of wishes but if any of you have suggestions, I would be very thankful. I've also been looking at the Kinesis Advantage2 and the Glove80, again I think the keywell will make it easier for my pinky and ring finger to reach. Oh, yeah, I should have mentioned; I'm European. Located in the EU. Edit: to clarify

I've been reading Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks. What a ride! I've never read Consider Phlebas before, and only a couple of the other books in the Culture series. But after finishing The Expanse recently, I've decided it's time to read the entire Culture series from the beginning. My Kindle says I'm 40% in(250 pages), and I love it! It's quite a different beast, coming from The Expanse, but every bit as intense, in its own way. I remember reading (on Reddit) that it's a good idea to start with the second or third book because Consider Phlebas is kinda slow in comparison. If that's the case, those book are going to be wild!

ONYX has something similar with their Boox devices, but the colors look kinda dull in both cases.
MartinXYZ 11 months ago • 100%
I'm not in the US so perhaps it's an option for me?
MartinXYZ 11 months ago • 100%
If I recall correctly, even the Boox devices don't do colors that well... But it's better than nothing. Also, I forgot to mention I'd prefer if it was affordable. I'll go back and add that to my original post.

what does being a perfume connoisseur look, feel or work like?
I'm not sure if I'm a connoisseur, I just like testing perfumes I haven't tried before. I get samples of perfumes at perfume stores and wear them for a few days. If I find it really irresistible I buy a full bottle. If not, I just enjoy trying something different and developing my sense of smell. I could easily go broke buying all the nice perfumes, so sampling is a cheap way to find out what I like and only buy the ones that really hit the mark. How does it look and feel? I look like an old dude with a big beard but at least I smell good.

I just want an affordable 10" color e-ink ebook reader, that has natural colors, so it is good enough to read modern comics on.
Edit: I forgot to mention "affordable"

I check Reddit maybe twice a week, but only a couple of specific niche subs( like many others have said). For me it's /r/fragrance that I've had a hard time finding a good replacement for... Perhaps I should just frequent Basenotes.com more?

I'm looking forward to some actual reviews of this laptop
I've seen FFUpdater recommended a couple of times, but I'm unsure why you would need this updater if youve installed your browser from F-droid and update your apps regularly. Does FFUpdater do anything special?
I have noticed lately that a lot of users on Lemmy spell whining as "whinging" what's up with that? I could understand if it was misspelled "wining" or somthing but that extra g really confuses me. Is this a misspelling specific for some region or is it lingo of some sort?
Pretty much the title. I have the base game on steam but would like buy an upgrade to activate as many DLCs as possible. Should I just buy the latest? Edit: ok, The Elder Scrolls Online Collection: necrom or Deluxe Collection: Necron seems to be what I'm looking for. Edit2: oh, and it's on sale now!
What is the preferred way to make a bootable USB drive on Linux these days? I want to try a couple of distros on my very old mother's PC before installing. When I googled it, I only found ways to do it in Windows. Perhaps my Google-fu is off? So I thought: why not ask Lemmy?
Like many others I have a lot of content on itch.io amassed through some impressive bundles they've had in recent years. I'm looking for an easy way to browse and launch my itch.io games and it got me wondering why Heroic doesn't have itch.io implemented by default. It would seem an obvious choice.
