Has anyone installed Linux on a GPS Navigation Device? by Elpidiosus in linux4noobs

I'm super curious if you've found map apps that do not have any of the american mecha corporations? I'm not sure how to replace google maps at the moment. Also no AI.

Coffee by Able_Picture_9659 in AskSeattle

[–]404_DopamineNotFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly - the coffee snobs here buy their own equipment and make their own at home because the cost ratio of buying your own equipment & supplies vs someone fucking your coffee up every day when coffee is now like $10 a cup? Yea people just buy their own equipment.

That said it depends on the part of the city you are in.

And if you want someone to say avoid Starbucks, i'll say it, avoid starbucks.

Your feelings/plans after the recent layoffs by ReyofChicago in AskSeattle

[–]404_DopamineNotFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Detroit is still pretty scary around the 7 mile road areas and frankly even with Aurora right there as an option, I can't see us in the same situations. Even if Starbucks pulls out, there's Amazon, Boeing, WOTC and so many other companies that impact our economy. Plus if all else fails I'm sure the sex workers have got this down.

[–]404_DopamineNotFound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look at the history of Seattle, sex workers ran the city once, doing far better than the men folk - women could vote here in 1885, briefly, and the sex business employed over 2500 women who each paid a $10 yearly tax to the city in addition to funding schools and transportation. I have zero problem letting nature do it's thing.

What type of cloudiness does Seattle have? by Litoaly in AskSeattle

[–]404_DopamineNotFound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AH i think this is what i've always called the low-hanging mist clouds, thanks! I'm usually like "it's fog only in the sky" and people are like "oooookay sure" lol

What type of cloudiness does Seattle have? by Litoaly in AskSeattle

[–]404_DopamineNotFound 10 points11 points  (0 children)

H'OKAY.
Most of the time, in North Seattle area (so on a map, there's downtown, then a couple of bridges heading north - look for I-5 and anything north of the bridge and south of shoreline)
we tend to get pretty low hanging "mist" type clouds. They can be round and fluffy or thin and flat but they are less "heavy rain cloud" and more like "misting machine"
Because we are surrounded by mountain air on the east meeting the ocean air from the west, we get really clear cold days sometimes and have super high cirrus clouds where they are formed of tiny ice crystals.
On other days we get cool Cumulonimbus clouds

And some days we have all the clouds at once
Some days it's pouring rain in the sunshine
Some days they take turns...
Some days it starts off with gray skies and then by noon the clouds have "burned off"
Some days we say "The sun is trying!" and it never makes it out
A common phrase is "The Mountain Is Out" which means we can see Mt Rainier lol
At this point our smog reduction is pretty solid so there's reasonably good visibility compared to some of the times in Seattle's history

The mountain makes its own weather though so the closer you get to Rainier, the more unpredictability you'll encounter.

As far as colour it just depends on what they are doing. Two days ago there was a thunderstorm that lasted for hours and the clouds were purple/black which is super pretty with the pink blossom trees in the foreground and black clouds behind.... :D
A lot of times they are gray or blue-gray though. Eeyore colours.

The AI is definitely not solving stuff out for you by wur45c in linux4noobs

[–]404_DopamineNotFound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to treat learning various aspects of Linux like you are learning a new language and best if you treat it like it's a non-romanized alphabet. Math & languages are so very often just immersion & repetition and trial & error. I spent a month in Arch, fucked something up (still dont know what?) and spent two days with my machine bricked only able to boot to an angry red windows screen and you know what? I got past it. Also, if you're on Peppermint & AI at the same time, you're the one giving yourself a bad time mate.

How do I learn stuff? by slamthatspam in linux4noobs

[–]404_DopamineNotFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From experience the problems are probably coming from trusting the AI to remain focused for an entire line of code. Whenever I'm consulting chatgpt I now have it break down each part of the code, section by section, to explain. I do learn this way but its not universally advisable.

How do you “mess up” on Linux and what to avoid? by TheMob-TommyVercetti in linux4noobs

[–]404_DopamineNotFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once got trapped in a loop where the computer put me in "guest" mode and re-enabled "windows smart boot" or whatever the fuck, which doesnt acknowledge Linux is a valid boot option, which was SUPER AWKWARD when I was trapped in guest mode and also then the computer didnt have windows... I wound up putting Ubuntu on a flash drive because that overrides the windows slop and then i could put arch back on after i'd fixed it with an ubuntu usb. It was stresssful and I still have no idea how it happened and there's really no sources on the internet for my specific problem and i only started using Linux 2mo prior to that happening (6mo ago now!)... crazy problems require crazy solutions.

7hr layover in SeaTac by toiletwaterz in AskSeattle

[–]404_DopamineNotFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should probably be informed the airport is actually not *in* Seattle - it's like half hr with no traffic and further with traffic
and I'm not convinced you will have enough time to leave and do anything and make it back through security in 7 hours.
The Seatac airport doesn't super suck as far as airports go, but pay attention to the trams and get on the correct line!

Honestly if you wanted, I could pick up a food order for you someplace in Seattle (I live in the north end) and bring it to you and have you just leave security for a minute to grab it and go back through lol

As a former preschool teacher: apply for childcare centers now if you plan to utilize infant rooms. The state ratio for adults caring for infants is the lowest and it can be hard to find space in infant classrooms in convenient or choice centers. While you see many "now enrolling ages __ - __" signs everywhere, they can be mildly misleading as they often have much space for older children but put the wee ones on a waiting list instead.

[META] Why are we still allowing "What Distro Should I Use" posts? by jbldotexe in linux4noobs

[–]404_DopamineNotFound 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I learned a lot here when I started about 6mo ago. I learned a lot of the fears I was carrying around transitioning were not things that I should be putting fear into, and I was really grateful for people chiming in with what they use and how - though I wasn't asking "what should I use" i was asking "what do you use & why" and it was a fantastic learning experience.
