  • Dude honestly I cannot recommend this enough, and to all who are in a similar position:

    While you still have your main system as a fallback, get a used cheap laptop with ~8gb ram just to fuck around and try linux, install [your distro] FedoraKDE, and play around.

    If a relative or friend is upgrading and gonna trash their current because the HW is choked by windows, ask to buy it for a reasonable price, cheap to you because old trash HW anyway, but a couple bucks to help them with their new purchase, win win. That HW that will no longer run windows will run linux just fine, and then you can main the laptop for a bit while you learn but still can boot into your old system to troubleshoot and also don’t have to fuck with dual booting and windows fucking with your linux or boot partitions.












  • I’m no fan of our military myself, but this bit here:

    it’s weird you don’t enter an educational institution because you are potentially “prohibited” but a school shooter will ignore that prohibition and there will be no one there to stop him.

    Not weird at all actually, see the commenter doesn’t want to be arrested and sent to prison just for having a tool for protection on their belt, but the school shooter isn’t concerned with that because they’re about to murder people (and then themselves most often), which is a bigger crime and an avoidance of that jail sentence, so they don’t particularly care that a gun is illegal to have at a school.

    And I wouldn’t count on the uvalde police department to take action as they proved they are scared little piggies who hid in hallways while kids were being actively murdered, “for officer safety” Turns out your service couldn’t even save some kids from your very own people.

    True, but if you bring a gun into a school for protection “because the cops won’t” (not arguing the premise) and you get caught, you’re still going to federal prison for a long time. It’s still a federal felony even though the cops suck. That matters to most people who aren’t already planning to break other laws like “child murder.”








  • Thanks! I’ve watched a couple videos on the exposure triangle while I was waiting on the camera, but I’ve had it less than a week, and while I’ve had it I’ve just been playing with auto to familiarize myself with the camera and stuff so far, so I’m familiar with it in theory but have yet to really start messing with it myself and learning it. I will start though, soon!

    I have not yet watched anything on composition or lighting so those are foreign concepts to me (beyond “light good but don’t blow out whites” lol).

    Yeah I’ll need to learn how to clean it for sure but not right now, it seems to be doing just fine so far!
