…how?

God I hope my adbock holds up…

Americans don’t LIKE politics. Talking about politics is like seeing a skunk on your daily walk. The conversation switches IMMEDIATELY from whatever you were doing, to suddenly making plans for how we’re all going to be ok after this.

I play video games, like sports, eat my vegitables, and think the world is currently a dumpster fire.

If this searches all of peertube, then it needs to be the default search on every peertube page.

I feel so bad for peertube. It’s such a great idea, but until it has a full platform wide search options, and regular content producers in areas OTHER than technology, it will never catch on.

I’ve been trying to understand linux that way for 10 years. The problem is the tutorials will say “do this and this, and this, and this”. I’ll get maybe 30% through the tutorial, and get an error. But the tutorial didn’t account for an error. So I google the error, and find 10 different pages all telling me to do 10 different things.

But in doing 7 of those things, I screw 3 more things up because I don’t know what those things did. Or I did them wrong. And now I have 8 problems instead of 1.

Sometimes you just need a human teacher who knows what they’re doing. It’s like learning to cook, but not having taste buds. You can be told to add salt, but if you don’t know what salt does, or why you’re adding it, you might add too much, or not enough, or at the wrong time. But if a human teacher can explain what you’re doing, and what it does, and why it does that, THEN you might learn.

Because nobody understands everything, but our individual areas of expertise vary from person to person. So you seek help on the things that confuse you.

There have been some helpful people in this thread. You’re not one of them. Instead you’re displaying the same attributes that take the most open and free operating system, and give it the reputation as being closed gated.

It would be like a mechanic rolling his eyes at you for not knowing how to replace a muffler, or change your own oil.

Bring back Netscape!

As others said, use a pre built distro + DE environment, especially if you don’t really know what you do. Another thing that I’d recommend: a distro that be backed up easily. So you can tinker and start over, if necessary.

homer simpson voice Ooooooo! Expain how!

Hopefully, if I keep my installation small, and my game roms on a different partition, I can just stick a USB stick in, and backup before I do anything stupid. Then if I break it, I can reflash the first partition from my USB backup, and my rom files partition won’t be affected, since they were never the problem.

I have not, but if I have issues when I get home from work, those will be the places to check first!

:D

I wish the Lemmy search could search inside your brain. When I get home, I’m going to try this. And assuming it doesn’t give me 50 million errors (or…even 1 error, as I don’t know what I’m doing), then this seems like a really easy thing to do. Now if something goes wrong…then I’m screwed. Most other people who use linux would be like “Oh, yeah, error 5227. Simple error. You just have to configure the combobulator, and process the hexagonal diagrams!”

And I would be like “…do what now?”

But as long as it’s just one simple copy/paste line in terminal…I SHOULD be fine…unless I’m not.

A danger of being decentralized is losing all of your momentum.

Uh-oh. Guys. I think he’s going to steal someones baby instead of making one himself…

No no no. You’re supposed to dice the onions. Then make a paste out of it, and then deep fry the paste. Thats how burger king does it. Everybody loves burger king onion rings!

…except my mom. She says they don’t taste like onions. I mean they don’t, but thats why they taste good.

I see you haven’t met me. I will walk to the refridgerator, grab a bottle of lemonaide, grab a single sock, and grab a hot wheels car. Then I’ll go back to my seat with these items, and ask nobody at all “Wait…why the hell did I grab these things?”

I don’t do things because I want to, or need to, or even because it makes any logical sense.

I just do things. I have no idea what I’m doing half the time.

Hey, are you going to eat that ghost?

I’ve said before and I’ll say again. I would use the option on amazon for shipping that says “let your employees pee”. I get my package 2-3 days later. Oh well. I don’t give a shit. I’d rather normalize companies treating people like people. And if I get my limited edition pez dispenser 3 days later, so be it.

Not like it’s an oxygen tank.

Your comment was so applicable to any of my comments that I assumed you were replying to the one where I said I wasn’t going to start wearing pants at work.
