Thanks!

Awesome, thanks! I’ll try and get her moving!

Any advice? I’m trying to slim mine down lol. I’ve got her on some royal canin (or whatever it is) weight loss food (1/4th cup 2x daily), but is there anything else that can help?

Librewolf it is then.

I’m not usually one to do this sort of thing but you’re saying the browser created by a guy who got fired from Mozilla in 2014 for donating to orgs against gay marriage is more ethical to use than firefox?

I literally could have just bought 1 bag of chips, 2 jars of queso, and saved $100 and 2 days of prep work.

Don’t forget the beer, but YEAH! You way over prepared for five whole people. If you had invited 10ish, maybe 15 (because then 10 show up), then yeah, but this is waaaay too much for 5. Especially depending on your ages, they may not have expected such hospitality and ate beforehand if they weren’t warned “hey come hungry and sober, there’s food and libations abound,” etc.

Don’t give up, learn from this and adjust a little for next time! Just invite a few more, warn ‘em of the full plans (food, booze, ykwim), or make less food. If you do it regularly (like say Football Sundays at your house) the event will grow and more food will be necessary, but start small! This looks like a good hang, I’d have joined for the food and I don’t even like wrastlin’, just needs some restructuring!

At least the booze and weed don’t go bad!

Yess YEESSS! Gabba gabba we accept you, one of us! One of us!

Honestly if you figured out lemmy you can figure out linux at least enough not to be a 95yo about it.

Use a distro that is both popular and good for beginners, like Fedora or it’s KDE spin, or Mint. There will be learning, there probably will be troubleshooting, you’re switching from something you’ve always been familiar with to a new thing, it is unavoidable. It’s like moving to Mexico, you’ll need to pick up at least a little Spanish. It’s really not as hard as people make it seem, most questions will be solved by searching the problem and pasting in a terminal command, but it’s good to learn what those commands do over time. It might benefit you to use the computer more often while learning if possible.

Do it, you’ll be fine!

I’ve been known to watch a fight video there every now and again, yes.

“we’ll chop your head off if you don’t leave”.

Lol yeah, it’s kinda that, but like “happy.”

Never unlock the door after close, she probably fits in the typical category of inconsiderate assholes who “just want an X,” but this is also a common robbery technique. They’ll have someone nonthreatening knock on the door to try and get you to open it to say “fuck off we’re closed” and the second you do 4 dudes with guns (or knives, machetes, whatever) run around the corner and rush the door.

Just hit em with the “we’re closed” lipsync and the “we’re closed” international symbol: hand chop moving away from the body in front of the dominant hand side of your neck 2x.

Right, “reverse racism” and “misandry” are just plain ol’ prejudice.

I guess it’s up to you whether you think being prejudice is only bad if you belong to the group systemically in power, or if you think being prejudice against someone for the circumstances of their birth is bad regardless of either party’s systemic stature, but we should be correct in our use of language.

Praise “Bob!” For we have Slack…ware! I actually haven’t tried it yet because I’m a new user running fedora and Slackware still seems above my paygrade, but as an avowed SubGenius and linux user, it is my destiny to try. I have an old laptop to try it whenever it will bring me Slack, I’m saving this thread for information purposes, thank you. PRA’BOB

(For the uninitiated, the creator of Slackware is also a SubGenius and thus he created it in the name of “Bob.”)

This should be Dale, Hank likes the government.

I always just say “and google ‘what should I do after installing fedora’ and follow along except ‘fastest mirror=true’ don’t bother.”

Seems to work fine so far. 'Swhat I did.

Thanks for the info! I’ll have to double check my temps, but last I saw I think they were around 50-70ish iirc so I guess maybe it’s ok. It still feels like something in there (I think it’s the batt) is getting hotter than that and I’m wondering if maybe something isn’t working right, I have to find my laser thermometer I guess.

Mine gets quite hot while charging. What’re your issues?

That sounds like the worst cereal lol.

I like seeing these vintage linux screens from before I used it. Keep em coming!
