I've tried to switch to Linux multiple times since 2008. Usually Ubuntu. I've even tried Linux Mint. I can never commit to the switch, I always get buggy behavior, crashes, hardware incompatibility, lack of apps (FL Studio, Adobe, WeChat for PC, etc). There are also dozens of tiny issues, like the sensitivity of the mouse/scroll wheel that feels different from Windows, even after adjusting the relevant settings. Also, for volume adjusting, the volume slider doesn't make a sound when you change the volume level, unlike on Windows. How is it that not a single Linux distro includes this functionality? I am totally comfortable working in a Terminal if I have to, but every time I follow a terminal walkthrough I get errors; I search the error messages online and I get reading threads talking about bugs that are a decade old, there is never a solution. I am so jealous of people who can immerse themselves in Linux, I just can't do it. I need my stuff to work out of the box, and for 15 years and many attempts to switch, it has never been the case. I can't tell if I'm not smart enough, or I just rely too heavily on proprietary software, or I don't want to dedicate the time to manually fixing problems with terminal commands and scripts.
Haha! Of course, ol' reliable.
If you are in Canada, you can use the digits in your Postal Code followed by two zeros. A0C1A0 = 01000 I tried it and it works.
I will admit, I was hard into Lemmy at first, but then gradually slipped back into the Reddit habit. This is my first visit to the site in a few weeks.
Rules for thee, not for me
Holy fucking shit, spez is really pulling out all the stops isn't he? Fuck that guy.
I'm really liking Lemmy so far. I've been able to scroll Lemmy like I did on Reddit, basically 1:1. There aren't a high volume of posts coming in yet but hopefully we'll get there soon.

It just occurred to me that we always refer to news in the plural sense. Even if we're just telling somebody one thing that happened, it's always "news". Makes me wonder if, in the past, there was ever a convention of referring to news in the singular sense.
