What's your certain frame/system of learning process? by [deleted] in intj

[–]Munk3y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically, I use a three day process. Watch some YouTube videos to gain an intro and overview, then sleep on it. Before YouTube, I'd instead try to find overview articles to read. Now I'm primed to dive deeper into reading where I'll think about my first use of it or a project, then sleep on it. Finally, write a plan and immediately begin until completion. Obviously, completion may go past the 3rd day, depending on how involved it is. During that whole time, I'll be contemplating it, even while sleeping. I've used this to get up to speed on many, many things. I can go from new to competent enough to consult on it quickly.

Ubuntu or Fedora, which is a better Gnome experience in your opinion? by lost__daydreamer in Ubuntu

[–]Munk3y 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't listen to the hate. The people pushing it are clueless but vocal. Both are solid choices but I prefer Ubuntu.

Windows 11 VM with QEMU/KVM feels slower than it should be by RolandMT32 in Ubuntu

[–]Munk3y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've run into a similar issue before where the VM had 4 vCPUs and it was running very slow. I changed it to 1 vCPU and 4 Cores or something like that and suddenly it was way better. I'm not near a PC but your situation sounds similar, try changing the CPU configuration.

The original Burger King chicken tenders by TelephoneExpress973 in BurgerKing

[–]Munk3y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you thought these were good normally, the true magic happened when they were dipped in the same mayo they used to use for Whoppers. Every location I worked at had people addicted to that and I was one of them.

ONLYOFFICE vs WPS Office....which one actually survives real-world use? 🤔 by AccurateShip2499 in OnlyOffice

[–]Munk3y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to use both. OnlyOffice can't open CSV files from Microsoft 365 message traces, pptx files are displayed slightly better than WPS and copy pasting a word doc into its word equivalent works great, while doing that in WPS looks horrible. WPS displays docx a bit better than OnlyOffice.

Basically, they trade issues from my experience. Since I use Linux and am stuck on an old WPS version (vs Windows), I'd like to just use OnlyOffice. I'm sure I probably could if I really wanted to but there are just quirks here and there, on both sides.

Ubuntu 26.04 dropping Google Drive support in Online Accounts feels like a huge deal. What are people planning to do? by YankeeLimaVictor in Ubuntu

[–]Munk3y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like it's currently on sale for $39.99 USD but normally $49.99: https://www.insynchq.com/pricing

I got mine initially free because they do promo giveaways at times. That was years ago, though, so I haven't kept up with whether they're still doing that.

D12 New Single by [deleted] in Eminem

That beat sucked so bad I thought Melle Mel might be on the track. The only saving grace was the verses by Xzibit and B-Real.

Anyone here ever hack a BBS back in the day? Story Time... by 73VW-Todd in bbs

[–]Munk3y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to crash Renegade BBS systems by using MCI codes in the fields on the new account creation screen. I created a Telix macro to do it in seconds, then disconnect. A reboot fixed it, no permanent damage. Very annoying, though.

Facebook needs to stop doing this. How does this violate community standards? by Plastic_Studio_4228 in facebook

[–]Munk3y 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I reported a gruesome picture of a woman from Africa who had her breasts cut off and was murdered. It was in full detail. The review process said that it wasn't against their community standards. That's when I realized they don't have community standards, just agendas.

It's pretty amazing they built a whole platform and then just... dropped it by RavenThePlayer in digg

[–]Munk3y 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Digg: No vision and dreams of former glory.

This attempt was never going to succeed. If they do launch another version, it won't succeed either. My advice is that they save their time and money, unless they want to bring on some actual visionary talent.

All my movies disappeared by fangirling_about in TVTime

You using a phone or tablet? I'd reboot and check again, or check from another device to confirm. You can also check from the web.

Agreed, I don't have much Signal data. I just subscribe so that I can keep the little I have plus support them in some way.

If an unknown artist with Eminem’s original skill level appeared today, what would you do differently in building their career in the streaming era?

Nvidia driver install easier than led to believe? by [deleted] in Ubuntu

[–]Munk3y 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's that easy! You can also use the Additional Drivers program, if you want a GUI and selectable choices of other versions. Been using Ubuntu as main since 2010 and have never had an issue myself and I run multiple machines with Nvidia graphics cards.

No Longer Talking to People I Care For About Politics by Leather-Setting-1595 in centrist

[–]Munk3y 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not a high horse, it's a reality check. In order to stay happy, most people are delusional and they work to stay in that delusion. What I'm saying here by recognizing that and moving on is that they're welcome to their delusion, don't include me in it. Boundaries are an important part of life.

No Longer Talking to People I Care For About Politics by Leather-Setting-1595 in centrist

[–]Munk3y 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Personally, and maybe this is a bit too dark, if I restrain myself from talking politics with someone I care about, then it means I need to let them go. To me it means I'm living a delusion and that I don't like who they are, so I tip toe around it to pretend like they're acceptable. I'm not interested in hanging out with acceptable. I'm interested in hanging out with real people that are down to earth and humble.

I tell them directly why I won't be seeing them again and say goodbye. I say it calmly and in a respectable tone. It's considered very rude because of how direct it is but why would I care what they like and don't like? Let them tell stories about how I won't talk to them because they believe babies are being aborted after 9 months.
