I choose to name it Digitalidoo

I generally recommend linux mint for beginners, mostly because it’s pretty great at working out of the box, and it pretty general purpose.

Also, it’s reasonably user friendly and easy to use.

Well, I am doing pretty well for myself in a combination of IT, geophysics, and offshore/ship stuff… but when things aren’t going my way at work I still conclude that it’s t8me to get the necessary licenses to finally become a crane driver.

I’ve driven a lot of cranes (ships cranes, mostly), but I’m talking about those huge tower cranes - chilling alone at the top, and once in a while someone calls you on the radio, needing something lifted from A to B. Seems chill as fuck, and no searoll to worry about either.

Yup, pretty much. I’ll lazypaste the response an instance admin made after I asked a similar question recently:

Probably the community follower bot which several instances subscribe to. It’s a way of automating new communities discovery. There are about 40 of them.

Agreed. I am in the process of creating a lemmy instance (mostly for testing), with the core tenets being free speech and freedom of information. I just need to find a way of rewording it so that people don’t think it means endorsement of assholery.

I think invite-only and “Don’t make me ban you!” as the only rule could work.

Ksp2 was severely botched by Take2… but if you’re into the genre you might want to check out Juno.

In addition you might want to keep an eye out for KSA which is currently in early stages of development. As there’s no official website yet, I try to keep on top of any dev updates and nuggets of information so I can update the lemmy community.

It’s all mysterious and important, I assume?

Yes. China’s great firewall mostly handles content filtering and deals with low hanging fruit. Getting around it is fairly simple, and the censorship is mostly focused on stuff that would otherwise be easily accessible by the broader population.

VPN is your obvious choice here. CCP blocks most public VPN providers, so you’d have to roll your own.

You can set up a VPN concentrator somewhere in the world, and you would be able to reach it. As far as I’ve noticed, they don’t block VPN as a whole, and default port should work fine - the reason for this is probably that VPN has many commercial uses that they don’t want to harm.

Source: I run a (work-related) VPN accessible from inside china.

I recommend looking at businesses that are closing moving or upgrading. I have a literal stack of old switches retired from work. 48 ports, gigabit, and free.

Well, cavemen also need tech support, just a different kind of tech.

Gork: “Stick go thud. I want go stab”
Pepsison: “Have you tried rebooting it?”
Gork: “?”
Pepsison: “Sorry, old habit” Sharpens his spear “try it now”
Gork: “Gork happy. Gork bring you mammoth”

And with Gork happy I’m sure he can help you find the right twigs twine and logs to make a primitive cart. Soon you and Gork can haul all the mammoth you’d ever need.

Engineering and chemistry. You know, sharpening knives/arrows and distilling seawater into salt for food preservation.

Freeze some water into suitably sized balls. I guess that technically fits the design spec.

Bought a brand new Lenovo Legion last fall. First thing I did was to nuke the harddrive and install linux Mint. Everything worked out of the box.

Yeah, same. Take Foundation, for example. I absolutely love the books. And I think the TV adaption is pretty good too. Sure, they’re wildly different, but I’m fairly sure being true to the books simply wouldn’t work on the screen as there would be way too many characters and each sub-plots would be way too short. Adaptational changes are needed for a story to translate between formats.

My only complaint was that Ariel doesn’t have the firery red hair she had when I was a kid. But then again, I’m not exactly the target audience anymore, so I don’t really care. Nor have I seen the new movie for that matter. I hear she did a great acting job, though. I just hope she’ll be able to star in something that isn’t the target of the culture war.

I live in the middle of nowhere, so very rarely. However, whenever I go in work trips I check out what’s happening in the region. I managed to go see Dream Theater and Devin Townsend this way. Almost went to see Staind in Austin TX, but it would’ve involved a pretty long drive, which I wasn’t interested in.

Please tag as NSFL, I sprained my ankle by just looking at the picture.

Go away, spez

That arcade shooter in Blades of Steel

I hear the API development for alpha centauri is pretty far behind its peer.
