I only have three (T_T)

I'm not sure how well this works for a bingo square, but something that I thought of was about how nigh every paywalled article has an archive link either in the post body itself, or in the comments.

I find it heartwarming that such considerate behaviour seems to be the norm here. It inspires me to be one of those helpful people adding an unpaywalled link in the comments in the rare case of finding an interesting post where that hasn't been done yet. It makes me feel like I'm part of a community.

Damn! Almost there! I just need a Ban and more nagging.

You might as well replace "free" with "linux" as these mother fuckers never shut up about it. It's basically a free get.

I mean, do I need to tell people that I'm using Linux Mint? No.

They're like the Mormons of the tech world.

Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Linus Torvalds? Steam just hit 3% so the time to repent is near.

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 3 points 1 day ago

3%? Year of gaming on Linux!

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

GNU/Linux does not have a marketing department so the community has to do that outreach. Also people love to share what they are passionate about, especially if it's about free/libre software that respects it's users

[–] roserose56@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

I feel something like this.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 17 points 1 day ago

Linux is free, yes, you should install it.

Whoa, you’re on mint? That’s sweet, man. Hope you’ve enjoyed it!

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm using Mint as well. I don't usually advertise it to people, but i have been very happy with it. I managed to get it to do everything i was previously using my desktop PC with Windows 10 to do.

I'd had my PC crash a year or so ago and decided it was my opportunity to try making the switch. I couldn't get any recovery cds or USBs from Windows to help out, so i was starting to think the CPU and/or motherboard was shot. A bootable USB for Mint managed to work though! (Turned out i had a bad hard drive)... But just that alone had me sold--it could at least get my system running in a pinch where Windows had failed to...or quite possibly, i missed something trying to use recovery CDs and USBs made on my 10+years old Windows 10-running laptop, though that same laptop produced the Mint USB that got me running...I built my pc over 10 years ago, so i was kinda expecting to have to replace it sooner or later anyway...but alas it's working fine everyday and Mint has been the reason.

The initial change was a little difficult to manage and it still isn't perfect. For instance, i can't seem to copy certain files from my old hard drives to the Linux drive and vice versa--i presume it's a file system difference or something of that nature but I'm not skilled enough to dig too deep and it's working fine otherwise.

But I have my workarounds, and it's been nearly flawless otherwise. VLC works great, I've found apps that are better than the stuff i was using on Windows for photo management, and file transfers are generally much faster (and even large file transfers are possible now, where on Windows it was hit-or-miss for me or it would hang up after ½ hour or whatever)... Many upsides if you're willing to learn a few new things and find ways to get it to do what you need. The more i hear about the way Windows 11 is turning out, I'm relieved to have made the leap.

Sorry for the infodump 🫠

Don’t apologize for speaking your mind! Your experience has generally mirrored my own, as I also had a decade old computer conk out on me, causing me to swap to mint after recalling its ease of use. Booting from a drive made me feel somehow slick, and I loved it. Though I still don’t know what killed my old computer, I just bought an old business laptop without an OS and went to town.

The only thing that still trips me up is installing from repos via terminal. Visual package lists would be appreciated, but by the time I’m done, I forget to install one. I probably have a dozen packages I need to remove, at this point. Bleh

[–] Speiser0@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

No. You can also use freebsd, for example. Linux is not the only free OS kernel. And a kernel is not the only free software that you can have. That square specifically is about free software as a whole, I think.

do I need to tell people that I'm using Linux Mint?

Yes. It's a good distro.

[–] Bring_Back_Buggy_Whips@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

asking if every image is ai...

[–] bobo1900@startrek.website 15 points 1 day ago

Also, is this Loss/Saddam Hussein?

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

deleting your own comment right away

I got rid of that habit because it just turns it into removed

Man reddit really is terrible isn't it.

[–] Blaze@piefed.zip 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Nice one, you can also add people asking for the content of an article when archive.is links work

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or people asking questions answered in the article.

[–] Blaze@piefed.zip 8 points 1 day ago

Good one as well

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 6 points 1 day ago

Complaining about grad / being kicked from grad needs to be on there.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

what the heck is lemmy place

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They probably meant !canvas@toast.ooo, which is the threadi version of r/place.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 7 points 1 day ago

wat, how have I missed several of these

I love that Anubis girl featured in the last one

[–] roserose56@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Yea this! I couldn't find the name! Thanks.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Does it count if I’ve only complained about Reddit on a defunct instance I migrated from?

[–] NeedyPlatter@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

Bingo!!

When I first joined Lemmy I got a message from Nicole. I instantly knew it was sketchy, but I saw some comments genuinely missing her when she got banned. Overall, there's a small minority that actually meant it but I still can't believe that scams like that have an audience.

There’s a typo in the bottom-right square (should be “complaining”), and at the risk of checking off one of your boxes, this isn’t technically a BINGO card as you’ve only got three rows and three columns. Nice ING card though! 😁

Edit: found another typo after posting, col 1 row 2 should be “someone”.

col 1 row 2 should be “someone”

In that same cell, "spamed" should probably be "spammed".

[–] roserose56@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, yes, It was late night when I did it, sorry.

[–] ashughes@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

No need to apologise. I used to do quality assurance for a living. It’s a muscle that still reflexes from time to time.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Bingo!

(my entire card is filled)
