Hi, I’m sbird! I like to make all sorts of things!

we do not live in a perfect world and we will not live in one in the forseeable future…
- Comment on Why does Spotify sometimes play few ads but other times barely any? 2 weeks ago:
local music players are awesome! On Windows I like AIMP and Gapless is very good on Fedora Workstation and is what I use now to listen to music
- Comment on Does the average person know markdown? 2 weeks ago:
I would guess they know a bit about lists using “-“ and a few people might know about using asterisk to bold stuff, but other than that probably not.
- Comment on An alternative spelling of the alphabet that makes more sense 2 weeks ago:
Oh yeah it would be a nightmare for non-english speakers for sure. Interesting that German is more phonetically consistent than English (stuff like “Karl” make more sense now)
- Comment on Speak American 2 weeks ago:
interesting
- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 2 weeks ago:
not special software, but it has an app that lets you log in on win and mac. On Linux, I was able to log in and see all the servers but when I set it as proxy it didn’t work :( I might try again later

phonetically it should really be “colur”, so I think “colour” is a decent compromise
- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 2 weeks ago:
I mean all I’m using is Steam, adding them as “non-steam games”. I’ve also found some game art to make it look nice. For me at least, I haven’t run into any issues besides at one point one of my games was missing a few shaders causing it to render improperly (I forgot to move the files from my Windows installation, but after I did everything worked!)
It wasn’t difficult to install at all! I just installed steam (for fedora you need to make sure you enable third-party repos when furst installing the OS) and that’s basically it. I’ve also installed Wine manually (not very hard, just “sudo dnf install wine” on fedora) to run a few non-game programs like some compiled .exe programs I made a few years ago by running “wine [program name]”. It’s crazy how simple it all is now!

there, I fixed it. Now it’s a bit more clear!

A VPN. I couldn’t get V2rayA to work. I might have to have another crack at it soon…

I edited my post, thanks for telling me :D
- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 2 weeks ago:
letting AI do whatever it wants to your files is not very good…
- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 2 weeks ago:
possible issues:
- blurred a part of the photo that shouldn’t be blurred, data loss
- erased the wrong object, data loss
- deleted large chunks of content in my docs/ppts/spreadsheets I wanted to keep, data loss
This is a really bad idea
- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 2 weeks ago:
I’m not missing anything, even games run fine with Wine/Proton. Also, a lot of the Linux games a really fun! (I personally enjoy Xonotic and SuperTuxKart. I also like to play custom roms with mgba) The only thing I’m missing is pretty much ONE really niche network program thing which didn’t have a Linux version. Everything else either has a Linux version, is a Windows game that can be run with Wine, or has some Linux alternative (think inkscape, kdenlive, okular)
- Comment on A tool to compare different sans-serif fonts? 2 weeks ago:
looks pretty cool. Unfortunately I do not currently use an Android phone. My old iphone is still going strong and it probably doesn’t need to be replaced for a while.

- Comment on Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way? 3 weeks ago:
always using a bag clip. Reusing the bag clip if it needs to be eaten soon (e.g. at a party) since it’s less of a fuss to remove it.
- Comment on Why is coal and fossil fuels still used? 3 weeks ago:
not saying it’s important, but if you tell a meat-lover to give up meat they will say no. Maybe it wasn’t the best analogy…
- Comment on Why is coal and fossil fuels still used? 3 weeks ago:
but it tastes so good…
- Comment on Why is coal and fossil fuels still used? 3 weeks ago:
Money mostly. It generates a lot of profit and it costs money to switch. In many of countries oil, gas, etc. are like a huge portion of their GDP. It’s like trying to get people to eat less meat. It would be better and more environmentally friendly, but everyone is too dependent on meat.
- Comment on LibreOffice: We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues 4 weeks ago:
LibreOffice’s UI is fine on Linux, on Windows not so much. OnlyOffice is a good alternative for Windows

I’ll try that once I come home

I tried installing an ISO and it black screened. weird.
