@anthropy No. :)

You're going to encounter a lot of sticking points where your Windows-trained UX memory is going to fail you.

You are going to have to invest some real cognitive effort into getting used to the Linux way of computing life.

It's not impossible, with enough desire or motivation to learn and get […]

@SwooshyCueb Wayland is still missing a few key QoL features that X11 still has that I think make it a step backwards from X11 in those specific ways.

kinda wishing I had some cookie dough bites to nibble on rn

You can also derive these values by rounding the cube root of 10 (2.15) and the cube root squared of 10 (4.64) to the nearest integers.

That technique of taking the n-th root of an interval and then raising it to powers less than n is how you build a set of preferred numbers over the interval […]

For some additional context: the 2-5-10 series of preferred numbers is neat because it roughly equally divides the decade logarithmically into thirds using integer values. Log10(2) ≈ 0.30 which is very close to 0.3333... and log10(5) ≈ 0.70 which is very close to 0.6666...

@pankallisti.bsky.social HEEE, yep. That's always fun. Especially when I get my *favorite* fetish *stuck* to someone new who's never experienced it in their imagination before. 😈

[AI, RAM prices]

honestly BEGGING people to be upset at Micron and not just "AI"

because frankly as much as I get being upset at AI, you're basically saying "aw poor micron doesn't have a choice but to go all in on AI"

if instead people went "Micron you treacherous motherfuckers" and their PR […]

I post this video any time I see a discussion about moving around in power armour because it really is the closest thing we have IRL to how encumbering and vision restricting a lot of those designs are

@Rusty *clicks around the Windows UI*

Oh so that's how I can consistently open the notifications panel.

I never actually paid attention to that silly little speech bubble in the corner lmao

@Rusty Eh?

@pankallisti.bsky.social Oh this one is GOOD. 👀 💦

@anthropy Hah. Yeah.

(I don't have any further comment to make cuz you've just said it all lmao)

@anthropy Oh yeah totally. See also my experience with trying to get nodeJS to work on an ubuntu install.

`apt install node-js` doesn't install like you think it would on ubuntu. It grabs the snap by default first, and the nodeJS snap at the time was fundamentally broken because it required […]

@anthropy The moment applications start breaking because of API breaks in their dependencies, that's when you permanently lose users who expect things to just work.

I'm personally in favor of containerized applications like flatpaks because they bundle the dependencies that the devs have built […]
