OrbitalMartianMy Arch system is slowly but surely having more and more issues that I have 0 clue how to fix. I'm going to be switching- in my head to PopOS, possibly something else, but PopOS is in my head as my replacement.Does anyone know of any security reason that I should not use PopOS (I will not listen to any about its based on Ubuntu, or anything political, etc - security reasons only please). <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/askfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a>

James CHello, because I need more complexity in my life (he doesn't), I've started setting up a <a href="https://aus.social/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RaspberryPi</a> as a media player on my TV. Which means I need to get a bit better at <a href="https://aus.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a>, currently have never used it before.I have a question about documentation and learning linux that maybe the fediverse can help with. When I need to add what the cool kids seem to call "A Repo" or perhaps "A Package", it will have a name like wf-panel-pi (true story, I'm being prompted to upgrade this right now).I trust that I need to update this, and I'll do it, and I'd like to know a bit more about it so I can smugly tell other people what wf-panel-pi does. So I check the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/gitHub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gitHub</a> page, and there's a readme file, cool.The readme file has lots of content under headings like Install dependencies, Configure meson, Build, and Install. but nowhere does it say what the package actually does. I've had this experience multiple times, and I can see myself blundering into big crashes because I'm blindly installing packages without understanding them. The About section of the GitHub page reads as follows: About No description, website, or topics provided.Am I going about teaching myself Linux the wrong way? Yes probably, I should do a proper intro course, and maybe I will have to. I was hoping to get by learning as I go, is that naïve of me? I don't want to understand Linux code in a technical sense, but more in a utility sense, what does this do and why do I need it? <a href="https://aus.social/tags/askfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#askfedi</a>

Kit Bashir<a href="https://eigenmagic.net/@abstractcode" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@abstractcode</a> my next <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a> challenge is I want everybody to check their pencil cases for bottles of liquid paper thinner from back when it was pure trichloroethylene. I need some and it is quasi-illegal now. Send me your carcinogens!

Kit BashirDear <a href="https://aus.social/tags/lazyweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lazyweb</a>: is there a more effective way to get cupro-nickel for casting than melting down a bag of 5c pieces? (Or hitting the thrift shops for ugly teapots?). It seems buying raw material retail costs like 3x more. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a>

keithzgFinally gonna try and wean myself off of using <a class="hashtag" href="https://fediverse.keithzg.ca/tag/chrome" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chrome</a> because as of the latest update it now uses the impossibly awkward and limited Gnome file picker rather than my DE's one like it used to. Time to try out some other browsers based on what should be not at all a strict series of tests, but somehow in this future year of 2025 is somehow seeming impossible:<ol><li>Follows my desktop theme automatically without me having to faff around</li><li>Pops open the right dialogue window if I'm saving or uploading a file</li><li>I can immediately drag a download from its listing into another page or app</li><li>Doesn't render pages bizarrely wrong</li><li>If I give it an FQDN for an internal network address it goes to that via HTTP rather than foolishly searching for it via a search engine</li><li>Supports PWAs (this is almost just bonus marks, but if not accomplished than I will not be able to 100% ditch Chrome in my daily usage, even if the otherwise winning browser becomes my primary one)</li><li>Second bonus point, actually respect my OS-level certs rather than forcing me to manually import them</li></ol>Taking suggestions, with the caveat that I may end up expressing profound enmity towards a browser you love. And on that note boosts are welcome, I'm okay with being a villain on the timeline, come at me! <a class="hashtag" href="https://fediverse.keithzg.ca/tag/askfedi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a>

Will 🏳️‍🌈I'm slated for a gastric bypass style bariatric surgery near the end of July. The gastric sleeve won't work for me, so I'm going with the more involved process. Also GLP-1 meds won't work with a chronic digestive condition I have.I'm doing this for two reasons. First, I need medical assistance for weight loss, because my genes keep getting in the way. Second, I'm trying to set up for success for a large spine fusion later this year.Does anyone have any anecdotes you can share about the surgery, recovery, or life after surgery? I'm pretty sure I know what I'm getting into, but hey, more knowledge is always better! 😀 <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/GastricBypass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GastricBypass</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/BariatricSurgery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BariatricSurgery</a>

Carmilla 🐝🧸Gente del fediverso, ando buscando un análisis/ensayo/estudio sobre la geopolítica actual desde el punto de vista religioso, alguien tiene alguna recomendación? Siento que mucha información se pierde por el camino al llegar a occidente, ya que nuestros artículos de prensa y demás no suelen tener en cuenta la ideología religiosa de cada uno de los bandos y siento que es extremadamente importante para entender plenamente cada punto de vista implicado. Tres religiones mesiánicas luchando a fuego abierto hoy día, las tres hablando de "abrir las puertas del infierno", de "nueva era", de "liberación espiritual", cada una en base a los preceptos de sus respectivas escrituras... El conflicto internacional tiene una cara muy amplia de guerra espiritual de la cual siento que no se nos informa demasiado. Siendo o no creyente, me parece fundamental entender las bases religiosas que están impulsando los conflictos y hay un sesgo enorme respecto a esto en la información occidental... Va de la mano con las caras económica y política de la guerra, con igual o mayor fuerza, sin embargo es la pata coja a nivel informativo. <a href="https://masto.es/tags/askfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#askfedi</a>

RosyIs there anyone here who has experience scanning books, manga, magazines, etc? How do you do it? What's your setup like? I have a simple flatbed scanner but using that would be way too tedious... So I was looking at other types of scanners...

Preston von GabbleduckQuestion for Australian folks – are there any data-only eSIM pre-paid options where the data lasts a year, but it's a reasonable price for a modest amount of data? E.g., Amaysim is $300 for 365GB lasting for a year, which is just pricey enough that it's not super palatable. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/askfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#askfedi</a>
