WSL is pretty good these days. Dual boot with Windows is still a pretty risky move with how easily Windows will overwrite your boot loader. I usually recommend you pick one os or the other rather than dual boot, so I’m in favor of WSL or virtualbox. Personally, I have never cared for needing to reboot just to switch operating systems. I tend to stick with one and the second one does nothing but take up disk partition space.

WSL lets you run both simultaneously without rebooting. Virtualbox lets you do the same with extra setup. Virtualbox makes it easier to do GUI setups than WSL does, and the network configuration is a little more obvious.

The best option is to get a second machine so you can run both. If that’s not an option, virtualbox is the better choice for learning. If you just want a Linux environment on your existing setup (similar to using a Mac) then WSL is usually good enough

Tabasco?

I prefer hot sauce on old pizza, not vinegar

You’re arguing opinions and trying to convince someone as if they are facts. There’s plenty to criticize about how AI is used, but it is a valuable tool for those that use it.

The amount of value it provides is very subjective, and even if you don’t find it useful, many others do. You might as well be trying to argue that you don’t like photography because it doesn’t provide the same experience of drawings and paintings. You wouldn’t be wrong to feel that way, but you would be wrong to tell someone else that they need to feel the way you do.

I want an instance already established, very populated, and proven to last long term, so I don’t have to create another account

Back to School, definitely. Well, not really badmouth, but I thought it was fairly mediocre.

But really I meant to praise his standup and say his movies didn’t do him justice. He was just funnier when doing his own material

His standup was definitely better than any of his movies

I think it would be wise to have a partner, first to be a backup child-watcher in case your attention focuses in one direction. And the legal witness isn’t a bad thing to have also.

Not everyone. But it’s definitely very overrepresented here, including some large communities of extremists that I don’t typically see elsewhere.

Reading these comments I feel fortunate to work for a company where this is all uncommon.

There is arguably some drama when layoffs happen or when there are organizational changes, but it’s pretty tame.

All I can think of is I work for a large company in a relatively educated field (I’m a senior software developer for a technology company) in a very corporate environment. Most of my peers are just looking to be professional and foster a productive team dynamic, so they can keep a healthy balance between work and their families

It used to be at the same time, so you’d have to choose between the two

You know which one I was more interested in

I didn’t hate watching it. If you just enjoy the fun parts and don’t think too hard about how it all works out how it could have been better, it’s not a terrible time.

But I was just putting something on Netflix, I wasn’t really expecting or looking for the highest of quality

I thought Morbius was not as much fun to watch

I could do without most of Oregon too

Received dirt on the American Democrat party from the Russians and released it during the election to help Trump.

He said he received stuff on the Republicans as well, but it was “not interesting” and didn’t publish it. Didn’t really support his stated goal of transparency.

• 7 felt like it was mine

I remember that marketing campaign. Windows Vista had a shaky launch, because the hardware manufacturers hadn’t polished the Vista-compatible drivers yet. 6 months later, they had caught up, but people still had a bad taste from it.

So when service pack 1 came out, Microsoft made a reskinned version of it and started an ad campaign with “customers” claiming “Windows 7 was my idea!” and the public ate it up.

I don’t know, I think Thanos should have worn a suit

I couldn’t imagine tying myself to a single category for my whole career.

I’ve done front end, back end, database, web, Windows, and Linux development. If the job calls for learning something new, I’m on it. These days I’m making datacenter software for admins to use to manage their distributed applications. Before this, I was doing the same thing for factory automation at the edge.

Specializing has its value, but the more flexible you can be, the more useful you will be when the landscape changes and your boss suddenly asks you to set up an AI system or something.

Yes, if you want to see Hackernews posts, get them from Hackernews yourself. Reposting to Lemmy just adds more posts with zero engagement that new users will see and be put off of the site for

Several months ago we had three different instances with their own Hackernews communities and their own repost bots posting the exact same things, with zero discussion.

Lemmy needs more actual discussion, and fewer bots adding noise to the feed.

Good show. Excellent writing, excellent sets and props, the actors were fantastic, all of them.

The creatures left a bit to be desired. Some of the CGI stood out, and that gulper looked pretty lifeless, like a rubber mold. The best looking feral ghoul was stuck in a chair, only moving its head like a puppet

The actors and their performances more than made up for those issues, especially Walton Goggins.

The finale was very good, but it honestly felt like we only got half the season. Only 8 episodes is a very short season, but if this is where it begins, I’m very exited for season two

A lot of people talk about the decentralization being a barrier of entry, but I don’t think it is.

Generally speaking, your average social media user won’t care about that one way or the other. You tell them an instance to look at, they will check it out.

Where I think it goes wrong is the general Lemmy attitude of curating your own feed. Your average Lemmy user will say the best part is that you just block the communities and instances that you don’t want to see.

Your average social media user on the other hand, doesn’t want to spend an hour or a month blocking people and communities to make the site useable. Most folks will come in, see a feed full of tech bros, repost bots with zero discussion, 30 different fetish porn communities, Star Trek memes, and bottom of the barrel shitposts, and they’ll just leave.

The only way I see Lemmy overcoming this is for instance admins to heavily curate the default experience so the feed is friendlier to new users. This would likely require some more tools in place to allow for this, possibly even a default block list that users can customize after they are already drawn in

Also the sorting could be better.

I don’t understand how you got that from the image.
