Eh, you can post, but people might just ignore it. So you’re screaming into the void for the most part.

I love this analogy, and I need to expand on it.

Lemmy is like taking a pleasant walk, with mostly chill fellow hikers, through a nature preserve, and then taking turns shouting into an empty canyon.

Sometimes a nice and/or informative discussion follows during the hike back to the lodge for some hot cocoa.

Why can’t you just use a butterfly to manipulate bits like a normal adult?

Sadly, I never learned, and C-x M-c M-butterfly, feels like cheating.

Debian and nano?

I think you might thave invented the Linux version of “straight edge”.

I choose to believe you also have no community package sources enabled, and use only the included Debian themed default desktop backgrounds.

Is openSUSE and Neovim ok?

Excellent choice. You’re going places!

We accept everyone here*

Hmm. That matches my recent napkin math guessing where they would land.

It’s a little short of what they probably need, but they can always raise prices in a few months.

I like this better.

The threaded conversations allow a useful interesting discussion to continue, even after some random person’s comment details half the participants.

You might try Wayfinder.

It feels like classic World of Warcraft without the grinding for levels or loot.

Yes. I assume it is the brains way of preventing wetting the bed when needing to pee while too tired to awaken.

But the dream where all our teeth fall out - I assume that is our brain trying reconcile how we only get two sets - which is some bullshit.

What’s up with the Rust hate?

The Rust community keeps trying to rewrite key pieces of Linux that aren’t broken.

They probably have the right idea, in the long run, but it’s still fun to give them a hard time about it.

I expect that’s why the internet’s been falling apart lately.

I’m sure it is.

It’s been interesting to see people not really getting angry about it, yet.

Simon’s Puzzles is what i use when I’m trying to reduce my own doom scrolling.

Luanti (a very nice free Minecraft clone) is also great for a few minutes (…or hours) here and there.

Edit:

What the hey, here’s a few more!

Burger Party - Like that pizza game, but burgers

Breakout 71 - Breakout as a Rogue-lite

Endless Sky - Space Trader Simulator

Gridle (Crosswords-Like Wordle)

Gurgle (Wordle)

Mindustry - Mobile Factorio-like

Pixel Dungeon - Rogue revisited and constantly updated

Roboyard - Slide robots to their goals

Super Tux Kart

I don’t recall the doctor being green, though?

Thank you for your service.

And my axe!

You’re right on all points, except that Space Babies is hilarious perfection.

C: Cheddar?

O: No. We don’t get much call for it.

C: But it’s the single most popular cheese in the world!

O: Not around here, sir.

Where do you get once every 2 years? Do you never reboot your machine?

I’m hearing you like to reboot your machine unusually often.

The reason I can think of where clicking would be a huge pain in the ass is an automatic task. I have some of those, but I put them on machines that I treat as servers, and the time between reboots is genuinely counted in years, for those machines.

At this point you must be missing the point on purpose.

I wasn’t before, but now I am.

I find your argument distasteful. If you want a server, use a server. But there’s no need to shout to the world that servers require command line use. That’s normal in 2025.

If you treat your laptop like a server, that’s okay. No one is judging. But my grandma isn’t doing that, and it rings hollow to complain so loudly about it in a thread about average users enjoying Linux Mint.

An average user will never even notice the issue you have been complaining about, while enjoying the product for free.

I don’t normally tell people to go open a pull request, but you should do so, if only to get a better understanding of what the community has already given you for free.

Yes. I guess that’s fair though. Most people don’t like change.
