Last week my brother had to use my laptop and install Rstudio(for some University project) because his Mac was too old and slow. I was out of home so I had to instruct him through the phone and I could hear his awe while he explained how easy was to install the program. He told me laughing that he could see the pacman and started to cheer for it, this made my day.

The web is so fat nowadays that it makes Windows look slim.
When I first used Linux I loved Gnome for the intuitiveness and simplicity but I did not like the same thing you were saying. I guess it makes a good desktop for tablets lol.
alecsargent@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Multiliguists of Lemmy - When speaking Language A and using a word from Language B how do you decide which pronunciation to use?0·9 days agoThere are times in which pronouncing the wrong way can save you a lot of hassle.
In many poor countries speaking proper English is a dead giveaway that you have money, so you can obviously see why that is undesirable. Even when that is not the case English is so deep in every other language that people use English words as they see fit without knowing the language at all, so one has to pronounce it like they do for them to understand.
Last case is to “avoid correcting someone” because one does not want to make the other person feel bad, or simply want to avoid the “how is it pronounced” situation.

Sorry I forgot the names.
I just read your comment without realizing my keyboard’s autocorrect mistake and was super confused. lmao.
Linux From Scratch says hello
Hugo’s documentation is like “if you know, you know” kind of thing. Once you understand its weird semantics and the templating system(which can be very confusing)you are golden.
Anyway, glad you joined this FOSS journey.
I always go past it because I go way to fast.
alecsargent@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a personal weakness you possess that is entirely not relevant to your daily life?0·25 days agoThick latinas, oh wait, you said not relevant…
Not sure what the best course of action is, perhaps just reporting, then blocking and hoping moderators make justice.
It doesn’t make sense in the case said blocked user is attacking the user who blocked them, but on the case were the user that is blocking is the offender it makes much more sense.
For example, one could make a post with misinformation about a user and then blocking the target so they can’t reply.
I guess this protects someone being wrongly accused of something and the accuser blocking the accused(hiding). But it leaves more vulnerable users being targeted by another user that for some reason isn’t breaking community rules.

I bet people will look at you weird when you pull that thing out in a coffee shop

My workflow is not as fast as before but it is so much more comfortable, definitely worth it.
I think that’s the point of the comment
alecsargent@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do iphone users still see their phones as a status symbol0·1 month agoI disagree, kids are taught by adults, so whatever they are learning its from their teachers and families. In my experience I have seen more adults give a status symbols to Apple products than children.
Yah, account switching in Thunder is very convenient.
