Or PFAS

That’s wild

Meh, just clean water spots in the shape of feet, it’ll dry 🤷‍♂️

Oh man, I don’t know how this could be true. I work manual labor, in sneakers. I spend all summer recreational time in either flip flops or barefoot. So while I don’t have huge callouses on my feet, I’ve got some. Not tender baby feet.

But still, one day it was like 70 or 80 out, I changed out fancy clothes into shorts, but forgot to pack my flip flops. I really wanted to walk down to an event that was going on, but I didn’t want to wear black fancy shoes with my shorts. So I went barefoot on the sidewalk, about 3/4 of a mile.

I did like you said and walked in the grass a lot, but man the concrete was hotter than I expected. It didn’t hurt at first, but each new step I took found freshly warmed concrete that just heated my foot more. Keeping moving definitely wasn’t helping. Eventually it started to hurt, even with walking in as much grass as I could.

I got to where I was going, grass covered area, and didn’t think too much of it.

When I went to leave? Oh man. My feet hurt. Looking at them closely, I had several blisters on both feet. I cooked em. I couldn’t walk back, I had to call my friend to pick me up.

That was on regular concrete. I cannot imagine doing that on asphalt, I wouldn’t make it a hundred feet.

Maybe I really do have tender baby feet 🤔

30s checking in, local gas station had one up until 10 or 15 years ago. I moved, haven’t been back since to check if it’s still there 🤷‍♂️

The ole AT power supply standard. Nice.

Why don’t you just get one beefy computer, then use something like Nucleus Co-op to split screen multiple sessions of the game on one TV?

Or if you’ve already got multiple copies of the game on multiple devices, you can use something like a multiviewer to split it up.

No need for a special TV in either case 😉

I’ve definitely pulled my hair out with docker too. Banged my head against the wall for a couple days before finally giving up.

I’m not ridiculously tech savvy, but I’ve tinkered with Linux since I was young, daily drive it on my laptop. I’m not afraid of the command line, and I’m smart enough to search for help and guides when I need it.

But something about docker just breaks my brain. Maybe I’m too old and there’s too much abstract thought required, I don’t know. But I can’t figure it out.

It’s an interesting trend these days, people wearing headphones and earbuds everywhere they go.

It’s not my preference, and I get that it’s a personal choice.

I agree there are definitely times where it makes sense, alone at the gym for example.

But I see groups of kids walking around, most of them with at least one or both headphones/earbuds on/in, and I’m like, what are you listening to? I can’t imagine doing that.

But obviously some people like it, it’s just not me 🤷‍♂️

Oh man, I’m gonna look into this. I’m currently running Bluefin, but maybe I’ll pivot over to Aurora 🤔

Thanks!

Oh man I forgot about this! How long has it been dead? Why does no one want this?

I had this running on Ubuntu on my laptop back in the day

I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on the 1.0 of freecad.

I don’t use CAD professionally, and even my hobby usage is less than it was, and it was only a dozen or two small projects.

I had never used freecad, always fusion 360. I’ve been away for awhile, and also switched to Linux in the meantime. I needed to make a simple object, and tried freecad 1.0, and I literally could not intuit how to begin. Not a single shape, I was so lost, it was very frustrating.

I tried onshape and got a bit further, but still don’t like the corporate nature of it.

I’m not trying to slam freecad, I really want it to work, and when I have more time to sit down and study it, I want to try again. But in the meantime I went back to fusion 360 in a VM, which was very sluggish, but at least I knew where everything was.

This actually got me into a car accident as a young driver.

I had just gotten on the highway heading home, rural towns. The gas gauge was broken so I had to count miles on the odometer to know when I was low, and I realized at that moment that I was desperately in need of gas.

So I took the first exit, and started looking for a gas station. I’m driving the speed limit, 55mph, and coming around a very large slowly sweeping curve I see what looks like a gas station up ahead on the left. There are no other businesses on the road. It had a tall sign out front. I didn’t recognize the sign, I was trying to read what it said, to see if it was a gas station or not. But I couldn’t read it. I was struggling to make sense of what I was seeing, honestly. A Martin Glass? An olive? I don’t remember all the things on it. But the point is, it was items, party items, that spelled out the word… party? It was a party store… and then I hit the guy in front of me who was stopped dead in the middle of the road waiting to turn left into a driveway.

I was so distracted trying to read that stupid sign, I didn’t even see him until the last second. I had time to swerve a bit, and I locked the brakes. I ended up hitting his back right bumper and crushing it in, a glancing blow that didn’t even touch his trunk. Just the bumper. He drove away no problem.

My car was a different story, it tore my lower control arm and snapped my tie-rod. Took out the front left quarter panel, hood, bumper, and headlight too. I had to get towed home, like 2 hours.

Technically my fault, and I got the ticket. But dang it if to this day, I don’t still blame that stupid sign. The Martini glass was the Y, I think the olive was the A? I don’t remember, I should try finding it again.

Came here to say the same thing! Loved that phone, was my first phone on project Fi.

The camera stunk though, always hunting for focus while recording video

Just bought my FW13 last month. USA. It’s either perfect timing, because tariffs. Or terrible timing, because tariffs. I haven’t decided yet.

Love the laptop though!

This is a minor issue compared to the security risks. See the other comment in this thread for a good explanation.

Definitely you should look into Linux, it’s really gotten quite good. Especially if you don’t need games with anti cheat.

But if you just want to use Windows 11, it’s super duper easy. Just Google “download Windows 11 iso” and grab the iso file from Microsoft website.

Then download Rufus.

Then pop in a thumb drive that’s at least 8gb. Open Rufus, select your thumb drive and the iso, then choose the option to remove windows requirements, then click start.

Backup your files on Windows 10, save them somewhere. Then pop in the thumb drive and install windows 11 fresh.

The requirements aren’t actually required. Win 11 runs fine on all sorts of hardware. Support stops at 8th Gen Intel, but I’ve installed it on 5th Gen. My work laptop is 2nd or 3rd Gen. It’s fine 🤷‍♂️

Technically less secure? Yeah, in some ways. But it’s miles ahead of running unpatched windows 10 after September.

Got a new laptop about a month ago. Put Fedora Bluefin on it immediately. Couple other computers/server have been running Debian flavors for year or two.

My main desktop is still Windows, but I literally never use it, especially since getting the laptop. I’ll switch it over when I get time.

I’m still tied to windows for three apps. I’ve found a Linux replacement for one, I just haven’t done the work to convert the database.

Another one I’m trying to run it’s Android version in a waydroid docker, but I’m hitting walls, no time to dig deeper.

And the last one has no replacement, and it’s too delicate to try emulating, I don’t want to nuke the shared database it’s attached to, it’s not worth the headache. So I keep a Windows VM around for the once a month I need to use that program for 🤷‍♂️

I’m purposely being vague about the programs, they are very identifying, but trust me there’s no alternatives.

Even with all that, I’m not looking back, win11 sucks.

I’m coming back to Linux after a hiatus. I’ve spent most of my time with the Debian flavors. Not afraid of the command line, but not an expert either.

I’m trying out Bluefin right now, semi-immutable atomic os based on silverblue, based on Fedora.

On normal installs, I usually change and install enough stuff, that when it comes time to upgrade to the next os version, I’m sometimes not able to without introducing instability or it outright falling. The former more common than the latter.

Let’s just say I got used to reinstalling and starting from scratch, especially if I experimented too hard and broke something big like my DE or drivers.

So with bluefin I’m hoping to leave everything that’s core, alone. I’m trying to rely on flatpaks, app images, and distrobox for everything else.

So far so successful. I’ve only got a couple minor gripes, some limitations of flatpaks. But I’ve also only been at it for like a week, so we’ll see.

I guess my point is, flatpaks have a place 🤷‍♂️
