I saw, but don’t feel pressured. Take your time. We’ll still be here.

I am the mouthy broad you love to hate. Make an Android version and I’ll tell you everything I can, using proper vernacular. I’m a frontend developer so I might actually offer helpful feedback.

Now this is a shower thought. I love it.

I use dark mode, but I turned on the night light feature and at some point, I think I adjusted the black down so it wasn’t so black?

It’s so bad that I can’t use my phone for more than a few minutes at a time because I can’t do anything else after that. My eyes are so blurry I don’t feel safe driving.

Can someone with more brains than I have explain why my Pixel 7 gives me blurry vision, but my computer monitors and old Samsung do not?

Because if monitors are heading this way, I might have a problem.

I have a hackable Switch but I’m afraid of bricking it or something. Is that a concern? I’m pretty technically inclined but no genius.

This is my favourite comment on Lemmy so far.

But for real? Linux is actually so great. I’m running a shitty old PC as a media server and learning Linux as I go. It’s so light and nimble compared to a Windows machine. For anyone considering Linux, I highly recommend trying it out even if it’s just for funsies.

Watch a few beginner tutorials on YouTube and see which one appeals to you most.

I have an Eco Tank for work. It’s okay. The print quality isn’t impressive, but it does the job. The ink is about $100 CAD for the 4 colours, but we get many hundreds of pages out of that. Just be sure to use it regularly because the nozzles are finicky bitches.

I’m in my 40s and I’ve been pirating since the 90s.

This is so great. Thank you.

Wait… what? I didn’t even consider this could be an option. Is anyone willing to point me at some accurate information about how to get started? Like… where do I put a bash file, and how is it structured? How can I automate it? So many questions. I’m only sort of familiar with bash, as in I’ve seen the term and watched my coworker do some wizardry once.

I learned programming on my 64 at 8 years old. I typed in the code from a programming book, ran it, saw what it did, and changed it around to alter the output to my liking.

I’ve made a whole career out of that.

Drugs, obviously.

I’m just learning Linux so I literally Googled the easiest version and installed Ubuntu. I can’t even figure out folder permissions. I’m in over my head, but at least I’m also getting made fun of.

I’m in your intended audience. I currently have a Pi. None of the other stuff appealed to me.

What coke-fueled bender produced this brilliant idea?

It’s been a bit of a struggle, but I switched my media server over in December and I will never go back to Windows.
