It’s easy to get fame as a programmer: Just make a popular open source project and you’ll be surrounded by people angry at you for not doing enough upaid work on it.
It’s open source. If 32 bit support is important enough, people can fork and maintain it.

Linux@lemmy.ml•How to add an option to create a particular type of file from context menu on KDE plasma, fedora?English
65·3 months agoDon’t know if this is true for all environments, but you might be able to just create a file in ~/Templates for it to show up in that list.
Remember folks: Gender fluid is flammable.
And then there’s the guy whose like “this comic could be two panels shorter!” because timing and pacing is a myth, apparently.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•This just happened to me, and I did waste 1-2h because of itEnglish
4·3 months agoThis is why you use Arch/Nix because the package is likely in their repos.
The software probably still won’t work, but you can waste more time on it.
Dual booting is fine. Bitlocker just makes it so that the installer isn’t able to resize the Windows partition (since it’s encrypted), but you can resize it in Windows to create enough space to put Mint on. You can also disable bitlocker entirely, but your files will no longer be encrypted.
There’s worry about the bootloader being nuked, but I think that’s a bit of an overreaction. Now everything is EFI, Windows shouldn’t touch other OSes. If it does, then that doesn’t require a full reinstall; it’s possible to boot from the live USB (the installer) and reinstall just the bootloader.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Why is it that my sister and I have different latest kernel versions, even though we both have Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon?English
14·3 months agoI don’t know if they still do it, but Mint used to do staggered updates (through their update manager) for some packages. They would start out making the update only available for, say, 10% of people and then slowly built up to 100% if no issues were discovered.
“So, you said on social media that you hate this group of people…”
“Woah, that was like, 10 years ago.”
“Oh, so I take it those aren’t representative of your current views then?”
“… Lets not be too hasty.”

Linux@lemmy.ml•What are some bare minimum concepts beginner Linux users should understand?English
57·3 months agoOne thing that many guides tend to skip is how to install software. People coming from Windows might try to install software the “Windows way” by going to the website and downloading them. That is just likely to cause pain and suffering for a number of reasons.
Instead, every beginner friendly distro has its own flavour of software centre that users should be encouraged to use instead. Maybe even include a link to flathub in the guide or something.

Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•Plugging in my steam deck dock to my steam deck, then putting a mechanical keyboard makes the dock station turn off?????? (SOLVED)English
7·3 months agoWhen you plug your mechanical keyboard in, your steam deck shuts off, right? If you unplug it again, does it instantly come back to life or do you need to press the power button? Does it resume from suspend or actually boot from scratch?
Are you using the dock with a mains power connection (e.g. for charging)? The keyboard might require more voltage than the Steam deck can provide.
Does your keyboard have any of its own USB ports on the side? Having another “hub” connected to your main hub might be confusing it in some way.
Counterpoint: Making positive lifestyle changes can result in a more positive outlook which in turn leads to more positive social interactions.
Would rebuilding his face not be akin to someone getting in shape and thus feeling and acting better.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?English
2·3 months agoLast time I used the recomp, which has the randomiser built in. The game looks and runs much nicer through it.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?English
11·3 months agoI grew up with Zelda Ocarina of Time, so now every time I feel like playing it I use a randomiser to put all the items in random locations. It makes every playthrough more unique and interesting.
If it wants to play that game then it’ll have to deal with exercise and a good diet.
… Well, once I get around to doing that.
