  • Probably the most I check in day to day life is just under the toilet seat before I sit on it. Haven’t yet had a spider under there yet but have definitely heard of it. Otherwise just being careful of huntsmen when you have something like two sheets of iron or wood, as they love to be in between them.

    Have otherwise had little spiders come out from the car’s crevices while driving and calmly pulled over to deal with it.

    Overall not really that paranoid or bad in Australia





  • Is this article AI generated or something? There are constant grammatical errors throughout it and the pacing in general is difficult to follow. I’m struggling to actually read it, tripping up at each sentence. Just look at this paragraph.

    “In recent years we have seen how many games have had a catastrophic launch, in many cases, caused by performance problems due to not being well optimized, but this has not been the only cause of these problems. And anti-piracy systems consume a large amount of our resources. PCmaking it very difficult to optimize a game when you have to take into account third-party software.”



  • I exclusively use NewPipe on my phone, and it works well (although it seems comments broke recently, but I’m sure it’ll be fixed in due course), but I try to use Piped on PC and I find that it is significantly slower, most videos I have to play at 720p or lower, and it usually takes 20+ seconds to initially load. Being in Australia probably doesn’t help

    Is there any other alternatives that I should consider?


  • OP mentions in the post details that this is a work laptop. Switching to Linux also isn’t as simple for most people. I’m fairly technically minded and I still took nearly a year to fully switch, and I decided a year ago that to just not have the headache of virtual machines and/or dual booting, I’m back daily driving Windows because my degree requires me to use stuff that only works on Windows.

    For you it may have been a pretty quick switch because your circumstances would’ve almost certainly differed.

    That’s why I think you’re being down voted. If we want to drive Linux adoption, this isn’t the way and never was.

    To play devils advocate, I’d say that the bigger issue is that Linus ended up in the terminal to start with, when he had no idea what he was doing in there.

    If Linux is to hit the masses, then a beginner friendly distro should have the convention to install apps be by GUI instead of TUI, and guides should be updated to reflect this. That GUI-based installer should see that the “Yes, do as I say” prompt was triggered and in a clear and concise way, inform the user that important packages will be removed if they continue and they should not.

    Effectively just having a much better interface for the user is what I’m saying.
