We've been joking that reality is so absurd that the Onion is just a news site now...

We really need a Linux circlejerk community for this type of thing.

There's "Keep St Paul boring" bumper stickers so they're at least trying in this competition.

Why are most mobile games trash? in c/games@lemmy.world

Adding Stardew Valley to your list - on Android it's even got mod support and the controls aren't awful.

I've also had a lot of fun with rollercoaster tycoon classic but I'd really only recommend that on a tablet.

Minneapolis is a great place to live, but I'm not sure I'd want to visit as a tourist. Which I'm totally cool with, I grew up in Orlando and I've had enough of living in a tourist town.

I know KDE has a page looking for contributors, including translators, I don't know how much they need more Italian translators though.

Would you pick Florida or Hawaii for a beach vacation in Dec - Jan? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I lived in Melbourne for a while and I've gotta disagree with you on that.

Try KDE Connect if you've got an android phone, it's pretty cool. I had to tweak the notification settings on my phone to get it to work the way I wanted, but ymmv, I'm just saying this because I'm usually happy with the KDE default settings (at least the Bazzite KDE default, I'm not sure how much the Bazzite team has changed their DEs).

I blame rtxn@lemmy.world's comment for giving me this idea.

Lynn Conway, leading computer scientist and transgender pioneer, dies at 85 (www.latimes.com)
 

I have mixed feelings on the pronoun use, but having read some of her autobiographical writing I don't think she would have taken much issue with it. This piece is more focused on her work in computer engineering, so I felt it was appropriate to post here.

What distro should I use on my potato? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I have an HP Stream 11 that I want to use for word processing and some light web browsing - I'm a writer and it's a lightweight laptop to bring to the library or coffee shop to write on. Right now it's got Windows and it's unusable due to lack of hard drive space for updates. Someone had luck with Xubuntu, but it's been a few years and it seems like Xubuntu is no longer trying to be a lightweight distro for use cases like this.

My experience with Linux is very limited - I played around with Peppermint Linux a bit back when it was a Lubuntu fork and I used Ubuntu on the lab computers in college. I can follow instructions to make a live boot and I can do an apt-get (so something Debian-based might be best for compatibility and familiarity) but I mostly have no idea what I'm doing, lol. I used to do DOS gaming as a kid so having to do the occasional thing via command line isn't going to scare me off but I'm not going to pretend to have knowledge I don't. I'm probably going to go with Mint on my gaming laptop next year but I suspect it's not the best choice for my blue bezeled potato (although I might try it anyway).
