@gamingonlinux @hardpenguin13 It's a toot, so I try not to read too much into it, but seems like a unkind response that is uncalled for

Besides the tone though, what is "clearly better" for devs is not always what is most popular. Suggest what you like, obviously it is your prerogative, but others aren't stupid for pointing out that other options in the category "free and open source" also exist

@aral why would you do this to me?!

@br00t4c seems about right

@Outpatientzero @aral yep, I'll vote Harris, and I'll celebrate when Trump loses, but pretending she is a good candidate representing good policy, or that her winning means we have a healthy democracy, nope.

@killyourfm @ernie If you have a AMD or intel graphics card that you will basically never even have to think about graphic driver install or upgrades cause it is all built in is maybe worth touching on. overlaps with that upgrades not headache and gaming is easy stuff

@ernie @killyourfm Yes, this. Gaming is so good, and easy on Linux nowadays.

@killyourfm Firmware updates have gotten really good for a lot of popular hardware brands, a small nugget to include in the "updates aren't a headache" section

@adamconover Can confirm. Father was hog farmer. There is so much manure.

Most waterways and bodies of water I have encountered here are not doing well. Local government very captured, Feds bodies kept it in check a lil bit, but with Chevron discarded they are probably kneecapped and big ag cos will be taking them to court now I'd bet, so the shits just getting deeper most likely

@aral kooha what I have used and been pretty happy with for short screen recordings. Has options for quality and frame rate and file type output - Gif webm MP4 etc.

OBS is way more full featured, of course

@powersoffour @codinghorror ew! hahaha! https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=RBmoQSHfO2U&si=2SuJIYrMeFrz4Nko

Add another to the queue!

Our 10yr old has gotten ***REALLY*** into mechanical watches & clocks to the point he's on the verge of starting a side gig repairing them. He mentions his hobby to everyone, and a lot of folks have a not-quite-working item sitting around. He's fixed a number of them.

He has had a tough time with an civil war era pocket watch, but was finally able to salvage a compatible part from somewhere, and he got it ticking today. He was so proud, and wants to share with everyone.
