I may just switch to another distribution in the future when I have the time. I think I'm also traumatized by windows.

Usually I have to schedule an entire day reformatting and updating windows. Compared to setting up Mint the first time which took maybe a couple hours. A lot of that time was going through the settings just to set things to my preferences.

Still can't shake the feeling of dread about installing a new OS when deep down inside I know it's not so bad hahaha

In Mint, from the start menu you can right click on the app you want to run and from the drop down menu you can select to launch with dedicated GPU. Otherwise left clicking will launch with the integrated GPU as normal.

From the other comments, it looks like it may be an ubuntu issue so I'll consider another distribution and maybe things will run a bit smoother in general.

You indirectly answered another question that got lost in my head. I'll add those commands to my cheat sheet so I can attempt to diagnose problems myself in the future.

I won't have a chance to try it out soon but that sounds like the solution I am looking for. I'll give it a try when I can.

If it's an ubuntu issue, I may switch over to a different distribution when I have the time to set it up properly.

Thanks for the info.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a great game if you are into rogue-like games. Expect to die waaaay more than you win. There is a lot of depth and quite a few ways to solve the the puzzles and enemy encounters.

The developer has done an amazing job picking up where the original developer of Pixel Dungeon left off. Very consistent and solid updates and has plenty of plans for future updates which look interesting.

There are plenty of forks ranging from adjusting difficulty to overhauling the art or expanding the gameplay significantly. If you ever get bored, you can just try something new.

I've enjoyed the growth of this game over the years after the development of the original game stopped.

I was always aware of the subtle misogyny on Reddit, however, it wasn't until the end did I understand how truly bad it was. All it took was one post and 24 hours for me to see how awful some men can be.

I made a post to a collapse support subreddit detailing how I, a man, had been treated by other men in the workplace. I also explained how the men I have been surrounded by were sexist, racist, homophobic and intolerant to anything "unmanly." I also went on to explain how the everyday treatment of women was not much different than how leaders and businessmen of the world acted. The only difference being the scale of which their actions affect other people. I also provided a few personal examples of how men manipulate women in every subtle way possible. My main motivation for making the post was finding out a former co-worker of mine was attempting to sext with a legal but considerably younger person we both knew. He is married and has two young girls with his wife.

The comments section was... interesting. I received many comments from women who had agreed with me, acknowledged what I said or expressed gratitude for simply being acknowledged from what I posted. Some men and wives of men also commented saying they experienced similar treatment in a bunch of different fields of work. Those comments made me satisfied with the post.

The other half of the comments all claimed I was promoting hate and that my post was hate speech. There was no middle ground or attempt at discussion. Worse, once they caught on that the subreddit moderator was a woman, they descended into her dm's with hate filled messages, threats and declaring that she was supporting hate speech against men.

The harrasment was so much that my post was removed by the moderator but she did reach out to me beforehand. It was quite clear to me that my post had unintentionally affected her mental health. We had an understandable back and forth and I don't blame her for taking an unfortunate step in trying to protect her community she worked so hard to build. A community she needed for herself as well.

The last thing she did say was going forward, she would be more heavy handed with the bans and to be less tolerant of intolerance.

Unfortunately, I quit reddit following the API changes so I don't know how that subreddit or moderator has progressed over the past months.

I think stronger moderation for such vulnerable communities is a necessity. I also think being a moderator is also a nightmarish position to be in as well. I imagine seeing countless negative or awful comments would have a lingering effect on a moderators mental health. Even worse when it's a passion project.

I have been trying to be more vocal on Lemmy when I see men attacking feminism and feminist groups. I also try to come from an empathetic and understanding place because matching hostility seems to end the comment thread in flames from my observations.

Unfortunately it seems my comments get ignored while women commenting under the same post will have their comments picked a part letter by letter from hostile men. It seems their goal is simply bullying women.

I wish there was a simpler way to filter out the hate and intolerance but when dealing with so many people, how do you even know where to start? Fighting complexity is a nightmare and people are fucking complex.

I don't think I've heard one good user view on snaps, which is what I'm assuming you are refering to when talking about containers. I don't have much experience with it but the view on them is overwhelmingly negative.

I do like the concept of cutting out the middle man in this case. However, I'll probably stick with cinnamon for a while as I'm still learning about the linux environment and distribution hopping will add lots of unnecessary frustration for me.

Thanks for the write up.

Thanks for the write up. It's hard to conprehend just how much sediment is in glacial melt. It makes sense but the volume is still impressive.

This year was the first year I've had a garden so it's been more of a learning experience than anything but I'm hoping to create and maintain a patch of healthy, living soil.

I'm not sure if this community covers that area of soil just yet but I do appreciate the bits of knowledge coming from here.

I'll definitely keep this in mind and consider testing my soil next year to see if I can get a better understanding of what's going on down there.

What ways can you provide phosphorus in your soil without added fertilizers?

I've been using white clover in my garden as a way to add nitrogen. I'm also assuming that by having more root structure in the soil, there is more of a home for the microbes and other living life in the soil. The soil has also stayed moist on the surface longer which I again assume is good for anything living below the surface.

My goal is to have a no till, low watering veggie garden and hopefully I'm going in the right direction.

I only know 3 words in the title and "an developed on" is a pretty incomplete sentence.

I'm assuming this is a type of soil build up in an area with glacial melt? I imagine whatever sediment trapped in the ice gets deposited in the ground whoever it melts and flows through.

How are there so many distinct layers and what are they?

I've used linux sporadically throughout my life and only started using it daily in the last couple months. I've used ubuntu in the past but I can understand the reason to move away from commercial distributions. Since my knowledge of Linux is quite shallow, I have a ton of questions and a need to understand everything.

What is Debian and what makes it an appropriate choice for Linux Mint to switch over to this base?

Also, what values does the development of Debian have compared to Ubuntu?

I get the feeling that moving away from Ubuntu is a step in the direction of a more open source space away from corporate forced standards, is that accurate? If so, what development direction could this take for a project like Linux Mint?

I have this happen with my Beehaw account. Works fine with my lemmy.ca account. Probably just have to wait on the next Jerboa release for a bug fix.
