Go-On-A-Steam-Train

Ughh my RDP into work is the only reason I have a minimal windows install :/

I love mint, but I can’t get work’s IT support people to go near it (needs the preshared key and some settings to get their Sharepoint VPN working). It grates having to boot into windows!

Really hope more people at work ask for Linux support and I don’t need 11, but not holding my breath. :)

I am the same - I obliterated all my posts and comments, and try to see whatever answer I can’t find elsewhere, and run.

It was much easier than I thought it would be, which was a nice surprise. :)

Lil Server Issue sadly is my name! Https being silly I should think 😁

Thank you friendly robot :) I couldn’t stop assuming PoE meant Pillars of Eternity! 😅

I found it mildly funny reading this, I’ve not been using vanilla windows 10 for quite a while, but have resorted to sticking plasters to get the same effects as mint (start10, fences, and powertoys). It’s very true, out the box all that’s baked into mint, and with the privacy etc.

I heartily miss Mint/Xubuntu, but am cursed with my interests being in game development and audio. :) one of these years…

Thank you :) just added this to my robots.txt :)

Thanks for sharing this! :)

I got a kick out of seeing helm on your list, as I was using the developer’s Unity engine integration for a game when I started coding :) Fantastic synth.

I could also recommend hydrogen as a drum machine - it plays nicely with lmms, which is cool! :) There’s also tuxguitar which I use as a guitar sketchpad when I just want to jot down a thing I’m playing, or learn a complicated song. :)

I’m not sure! It says I’m joined now if it helps, so it could be that the wheels were still turning :)

Kind of like the multireddit feature- that used to be a big part of how I used boost to check in with any particular interest without wading in :) I would love this!

Brilliant idea! :) I’ve just requested to subscribe, as I adore old style blogs, and on top of that, would like to share mine eventually :)

Trackballs! You speak my language :) Thank you for such an in depth, sourced write-up, that’s incredibly helpful, I’ll definitely check it out :)

Moderation is based on what server you’re rocking - run a place if that’s what you need :) However, being moderated is keeping the Nazis out - I have no problem with that. :)

I would immediately present to you how much of an anti-racist Lemmy was - Wikipedia’s page expands on it in the personal life section. :)

It is also the case that these open platforms don’t need to grow to become a behemoth that absorbs the internet - they might be better for being niche.

And I can go back without the app crashing! :) Very happy that’s resolved for me, and with a neat gesture to boot :) Thanks, I didn’t even see that gesture was added, it’s really useful!
