That's probably substantially due to the fact that it's also extremely easy to get nearly everywhere via public transport and a few minutes walking.. I'd guess car ownership is pretty low..

Not quite what you want, but in dolphin you can open a terminal with F4, and then just type sudo deb -i <package.deb> and your password. Pretty quick.

I don't think defunding the police is a right-wing framing 😆

Heh, I posted a basically identical timeline in reply to another comment above.

I've been using it full time for 21 years, and dual boot for years before that. Early on it definitely took up a bit of time, but that's mostly because I was interested in breaking things and learning to fix them. Even 10-15 years ago I don't think I would have spent more than a few hours a month fixing things. These days it's a few hours a year, and that's only when I start messing around with something in a careless way.

Is there a reason why this same logic doesn't apply to politicians?

Because he is the smartest and best, and he wants it to stay that way

Yes, I understood the joke...

For the parents, I assume?

Personally I think @WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com's take is a bit prescriptive, but I do think that if you want a good long-term relationship, then it's about finding what's comfortable for both of you, not just for one of you. Boundary pushing can be OK, but usually only with prior consent or better some expression of desire.. If either one of you pushes the other into doing something the other doesn't really want, that's probably not gonna pan out well in the long run. Listening (especially to the "why" part) and working together is important.

Is there any situation for which a fart is not a perfect metaphor?

 

If you're not middle aged, pick a younger age, IDK

 

I often come across ideas for new communities (sometimes I even have them myself), but I'm not always sure whether they would get traction.

How about a "suggest a community" community, where people can post suggestions, and get feedback on the idea, maybe tweak it a bit to be more useful, and also look for co-moderators?

It could act in parallel to !newcommunities@lemmy.world

Anyone have any ideas for how this could work better? Anyone want to co-moderate one?

 

I've been a linux user for 20 years (mostly on KDE). I just started at a new job, and they gave me a mac. I found out later that I could have got a linux machine instead, which is a bit annoying. Still, I know there are some nice things about a mac, and I figured I'd give it a try for a while.

I'm pretty quick moving around my desktop environment, and I'm finding picking up the mac is not too bad. BUT I use keyboard shortcuts a lot, and they are all every different on a mac. So whenever I switch back and forth between my work machine, I end up stumbling a bunch and wasting my time, and getting annoyed. It's mostly keyboard shortcuts, but the trackpad buttons and scrolling are annoying too.

So, question is: is it possible to regularly use two OSs with wildly different control surfaces, and be comfortable with it? e.g. either MacOS + Linux, or I guess MacOS + Windows? Or will it be annoying forever?

 

When you're reading or listening to verbal material ( e.g. fiction, nonfiction, prose, poetry, lyrics, etc.), what kind of imagery has the most impact?

Imagery in the broad sense (including all senses, not just sight).

"Kind" can be whatever categorisation you can think of, e.g. genre, sense, place, scale, human/non-human, etc.
