- Comment on Why Denmark is dumping Microsoft Office and Windows for LibreOffice and Linux 12 hours ago:
I think you’re right about creating demand for more consumer like support, someone in in another comment chain on this post mentioned several Danish municipalities doing something similar with their schools…
Is there a relevant cert to do this kind of work yet? I think it would be interesting to do Linux tech support. Maybe just find a junk laptop and work my way through the Arch wiki breaking and fixing stuff (since my main Linux distro has been incredibly hands off so far)?

I’d be impressed. Pumpkins are kinda heavy.

Off topic vegan rant on a community that doesn’t really remove posts? Bonus points for “carnist”.
- Comment on I'm Vegan! I can't eat what you sell! 2 days ago:
I’m not sure this is the right community for this rant, lol.
I’m a vegetarian who usually only eats Subway if I’m in bumfuck Egypt and there’s no better option, because their salad on bread isn’t any worse than their other options. Even if Subway did start carrying tofurky slices (the smoked tofurky slices are fantastic imo) I probably still wouldn’t eat there regularly because Subway just isn’t good anymore.
McDonald’s has the McPlant in some markets but not mine, and economically it’s their loss - whenever someone in my friend group wants fast food burgers we end up at Burger King because it hits the same cravings and BK has something I can eat.
- Comment on lemmy.blahaj.zone has setup a piefed instance. 3 days ago:
Piefed has community migration tools that Lemmy lacks, by moving to piefed communities got to keep old posts they otherwise wouldn’t have.
- Comment on Besides mod logs, is there a better way for the Fediverse to keep track of malicious actors, such as Kiwi farms members and genocide deniers? 6 days ago:
Maybe Shaun, the leftist skull on YouTube? I don’t recognize the quote but it seems like something he’d say and based on Lemmy’s politics I’d bet he’s popular here.

It’s also available as a Flatpak for those of us running Linux now.

I bought a nook simple touch a couple of weeks ago for $20, look into the Phoenix Project for those.
- Comment on Time sure flies. I remember pausing my N64 to watch the news coverage. 1 week ago:
He’s done a whole documentary on black women’s hair, he really shouldn’t have made the joke he did, everyone kinda sucks here, lol.
- Comment on Holy shit I got Retro Achievements working on my Pi Gameboy! Lmao this is so cool. I get to achievement hunt in my favorite game, earthbound after 30 years. Amazing 1 week ago:
Someone else in this comment thread claimed it needs internet access, hope you like that dongle life.

I was going to ask which squeenix protag this was, but your alt text answered that for me.
Why do they all have a certain look to them?
- Comment on The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it? 2 weeks ago:
Even better, the equivalent irl cultures. Most cities have groups advocating for better bike and pedestrian infrastructure and better public transit.

Minnesota had deep fried ranch at the state fair last year.
- Comment on GIVE ME 4 3 weeks ago:
There’s a local queer cafe/community center that has a (non-alcoholic) drink called programmer socks. The main component is an energy drink, because of course it is.
- Comment on Lemmy needs AI. 3 weeks ago:
Some form of translation, ai or not, would be cool, along with an image description option (that users would proofread before posting) could actually be cool.
- Comment on What's the worst spelling you've seen? 3 weeks ago:
I also had a coworker named America and I’m pretty sure her parents were immigrants - English was pretty clearly not my coworker’s first language. I think it works for her situation. (Funny enough, it was her reckless behavior that caused me to spend my last few weeks at that job on light duty…)
There’s also America Ferrera, I don’t think the name is that weird.

- Comment on Is it still worth it? 5 weeks ago:
A former roommate of mine had a papillon that lived in the master bedroom with three cats when she wasn’t home, and she’d be gone for 8+ hours at a time… the dog learned to use the litter box from the cats.

- Comment on 13 Creepy Things Your Smartphone Knows About You 5 weeks ago:
I’m not the person you’re replying to, but I don’t think it’s paranoid to think the three letter agencies have this tech. Back in 2013 NSA could do it, seemingly through a virus. Now? It’s probably more trivial on certain phones. Apparently the “find my iPhone” feature works on the most recent generations of iPhones even when they’ve powered off, and some phones will ring a set alarm when when off (I’ll get back to you with an edit if my older smartphone has that feature).
If you’re being specifically targeted by three letter agencies it might be a concern. Everyone else I don’t know.

I do not have a Virtual Boy, much to my shame and embarrassment.
Yes, but you do own the best console for playing Virtual Boy games, the 3DS. Red Viper is really good now.

That’s really funny because Internet Archive has everything I had as a kid and more.

Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 and 2 (shout-out to OpenRCT!), Island of Dr Brain, Oregon Trail 3rd edition, Math Blaster, and a bunch of little educational games that nobody else has ever heard of from Ohio Distinctive Software.

Lots of people like anchovies, Cesar salad dressing has anchovies.
- Comment on The pipeline 1 month ago:
This confuses me because BWW has cauliflower wings which is clearly the cuck soy boy choice. (It’s me, I’m the soy boy, but I usually go with the black bean burger.)
- Comment on 1994 white Kevin 1 month ago:
They usually get escorts, which actually isn’t the same thing as a hooker and not all of them actually do sex work. I have no idea why I know anything about that, but it was something I was just kinda aware of as a young adult.
