Linlap.info REMINDER

*Linux Laptop Wiki [Rebooted]*

The aim of the website is to provide a central wiki to post experiences with Linux on the model of laptop / notebook you're using.

An attempt to 'reboot' the abandoned and spammed linlap dot com which is now unusable.

Please consider participating on building a new "HQ" sending in your model / experiences!

Any help appreciated!

Question for my artists: I really like sketching when trying to do art, and I prefer physical paper. If I colour, I like coloured pencils. What are some good sketchbooks and pencils (and maybe pens if I feel like inking) for clean, lasting work?

Please boost for visibility.

Hey, does anybody have any recommendations for RPGs/JRPGs that don't involve a lot of reading or talking to a bunch of people in towns?

@hoodieak imagine a hacker gained access to ur pc and all they did was leave a text file on the desktop with a really cute message on in it.
You respond by leaving a message in a new text file.

This continues daily until one day, they ask to meet.

I may well have missed a consideration here. I also could not see the entire area, so some of the negative above may have been addressed and I just didn't know.

Seatac protest disability access report:
+ was held in an area that could be reached by car and had well-paved streets and sidewalks
- no dedicated path or area set aside for disabled ppl to get close to stage
- (AFAIK) no ASL interpreter
- PA system pretty quiet
- no seating (for anyone who can't stand for three hours straight)
+ wheelchair accessible portable bathroom on-site
- no signs to indicate where to go for assistance with any of the above

I wonder if the camera I'm taking today counts as retro or "vintage" by this point.

It's a DSLR, but it was also released in 2006... But hey, it still works!

The book that is mandatory reading at every data collection and aggregation company

TIL that running fsck on an encrypted volume is the goddamn worst and requires MUCH stumbling about.

But my desktop boots again! Yay!

Playing my normal morning game of "bass, vibrating phone, or snoring neighbor?"

Morning, lovely folks.

Go get some sun on your face today. And stay hydrated.

To be real, I'm not really concerned with how someone else manages their instance. If they want to give space to sexists and racists, that's their choice.

What I do want people to know is that behavior will not be tolerated on mine. Period.

Social will be space for people to talk, not for bigots to indiscriminately harass the lovely people who choose to use my instance.

I will block an entire instance and sleep well at night.

Taking care of my members is just a part of why I'm here.
