May I introduce you to Nintendo?
Hell, I don’t even want to ban users guilty of piracy. Oh no! Sony and it’s BILLIONS of dollars will surely be affected by pirating their dvd of a movie! Heavens to betsy!
…how?
God I hope my adbock holds up…
I’ve been trying to understand linux that way for 10 years. The problem is the tutorials will say “do this and this, and this, and this”. I’ll get maybe 30% through the tutorial, and get an error. But the tutorial didn’t account for an error. So I google the error, and find 10 different pages all telling me to do 10 different things.
But in doing 7 of those things, I screw 3 more things up because I don’t know what those things did. Or I did them wrong. And now I have 8 problems instead of 1.
Sometimes you just need a human teacher who knows what they’re doing. It’s like learning to cook, but not having taste buds. You can be told to add salt, but if you don’t know what salt does, or why you’re adding it, you might add too much, or not enough, or at the wrong time. But if a human teacher can explain what you’re doing, and what it does, and why it does that, THEN you might learn.
Because nobody understands everything, but our individual areas of expertise vary from person to person. So you seek help on the things that confuse you.
There have been some helpful people in this thread. You’re not one of them. Instead you’re displaying the same attributes that take the most open and free operating system, and give it the reputation as being closed gated.
It would be like a mechanic rolling his eyes at you for not knowing how to replace a muffler, or change your own oil.
Bring back Netscape!
As others said, use a pre built distro + DE environment, especially if you don’t really know what you do. Another thing that I’d recommend: a distro that be backed up easily. So you can tinker and start over, if necessary.
homer simpson voice Ooooooo! Expain how!
Hopefully, if I keep my installation small, and my game roms on a different partition, I can just stick a USB stick in, and backup before I do anything stupid. Then if I break it, I can reflash the first partition from my USB backup, and my rom files partition won’t be affected, since they were never the problem.
I have not, but if I have issues when I get home from work, those will be the places to check first!
:D
I wish the Lemmy search could search inside your brain. When I get home, I’m going to try this. And assuming it doesn’t give me 50 million errors (or…even 1 error, as I don’t know what I’m doing), then this seems like a really easy thing to do. Now if something goes wrong…then I’m screwed. Most other people who use linux would be like “Oh, yeah, error 5227. Simple error. You just have to configure the combobulator, and process the hexagonal diagrams!”
And I would be like “…do what now?”
But as long as it’s just one simple copy/paste line in terminal…I SHOULD be fine…unless I’m not.
looks at your name
Uh-oh. Guys. I think he’s going to steal someones baby instead of making one himself…
I’ve said before and I’ll say again. I would use the option on amazon for shipping that says “let your employees pee”. I get my package 2-3 days later. Oh well. I don’t give a shit. I’d rather normalize companies treating people like people. And if I get my limited edition pez dispenser 3 days later, so be it.
Not like it’s an oxygen tank.
Ok, but I’m still not going back to wearing pants.
I feel like some people are just emotional reactionaries. They see a certain story, and in their own mind they make the story worse than it is, and treat their feelings as fact.
I have no sources on this, or proof that this guy in particular is doing that.
…wait, am I doing it right now???
Hmmmmm…
A backup of a video about backing up your data.
Alannis Moresette starts playing
Oh man…16 year old me is going to be SO excited.
For context, I’m 41.
Wait, didn’t the creator of this go off on some mental health tangent that basically ended in him making a bunch of unhinged violent threats against…well, everyone?
Sooooooo…no list of what those apps are?
I didn’t contridict myself. I said they CONSIDERED making it a standalone game. They wanted to pour enough effort into the online, and no more effort into the single player, that they figured they could just make it it’s own game, until that news leaked, and people reacted FIERCELY.
At one time Sony CONSIDERED making the PS4 digital only, with used games not being an option. Doesn’t mean that ever actually came to pass, but it WAS considered at one point. It shows what their intentions were. That’s the difference, and the point of that statement.
Yes, raspberry pi 4. With 4gigs of ram. Is that the issue?
