Should we even be calling it the open web at this point?

They decided the constitution does not include a right to vote with a vote?

7 because I don't want to be stuck in the woods with someone elses computer. Also 7 has the good version of paint.

Thank you I never really used comic sans but Comic Neue looks really nice. I think I might actually use that.

It was I somehow got him confused with Steve Huffman.

Edit: Omg sorry I was thinking of Steve Huffman idk how I got them mixed up.
As far as I know Sam Altman was not moderator of that sub.

I don't really use it for anything. Though I imagine it would would make it easier to read having comic sans in white on a dark terminal.

So a comic made for children would be the best context for it?

Did it actually get used in a presidential speech? That is pretty wild.

 

I was going to make a post on unpopular opinions saying comic sans is not as bad as people make it out to be and can be useful in some cases since it is easier to read. But decided not to because I wasnt sure kbin/lemmy felt about it.

 

I have been trying to find a piece of lost media and was wondering if anyone knows any magazines/communties around lost media?

 

Just curious since I think it is about to get a whole lot harder to search using google. hopefully this will signal the end of their monopoly.

About a month ago I switched to Linux mint from windows 11.

The first thing I noticed was mint being faster and less bloated than windows 11.

I also liked having actual control over my settings without a corporation being able to undo them at will.

Another thing I noticed was not having to add extensions to text files to run as a program instead having the option in properties.

For certain windows programs and games I was able to use wine which was great because I like to use gamemaker 8.1 which was made before they added linux support.

I tried different wine environments starting with bottles then trying Steam proton and Lutris. With Lutris being the one I ended up using due to it being the only one that I could get to run every program I needed.

The ms paint alternative called drawing took some use to due to it automatically cropping out parts of the image outside of the line when pasting in a screenshot from the clipboard.

Although I do still miss ms paint but that is mostly nostalgia.

Fortunately there is an option to save the screenshot after taking it.

Migrating from windows I appreciate the SUPER key bringing up a menu on the bottom left which brings up some apps and the search bar. Which always searches on the OS unlike windows 11 which sometimes searches the internet instead.

Another detail I noticed is if you type paint or notepad in the search it brings up drawing and the text editor which is nice for people transitioning to Linux.

Being able to move the panel or add new ones was also a breath of fresh air from windows 11 making the task bar more restrictive.

Having the option of deb packages and flatpacks is really useful as well.

I also no longer have to worry about telemetry or microsoft trying to show me ads or pop ups.

TL:DR Mint is a way better experience than windows 11.

 

I was looking into linux distros for blind users and was curious what distros the blind linux community prefers.

I found one called Accessible-Coconut which seemed promising though you still have to click on the installer without a prompt from the screen reader.

It also has a desktop background which might be considered bloatware for the fully blind.

 

I think a lot of us were hoping Sony would replace leadership in bungie and reverse all the terrible decisions Bungie has made.

 

The ad was released hours after Trump said he believes abortion laws should be left to the states, sidestepping the national ban some of his supporters want.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

 

The owner of an 34-year-old alligator seized by conservation officers near Buffalo is fighting for its return

 

It feels faster and it seems to use up less storage.

It feels like I no longer have to play tug of war with microsoft with owning my own device.

 

This includes science fantasy.

 

Let me know if there are any I should add.
