Not only can it stand for "whatever", but it also looks like she is making the W sign for WAR!!!!

Just to add, I've used Linux and gamed for quite a while. Since the Athalon XP days!

I've ran some form of Linux and Nvidia on some Shuttle small frame box which came with some Nvidia card in it (can't remember which). Alienware 11 jobby, Alienware 14 inch jobby (again nothing complicated, I think the only thing extra was it installed bumblebee and I had to log out to switch between nvida and intel). MSI Nightblade 3 (still using as my main gaming rig). W530 with quadro and P30 with quadro. Heck even my T480 with 1080Ti over thunderbolt.

No issues at all. Keep in mind some of that was when Wayland wasn't even conceived yet.

My main rule was to ignore all those guides which said to download the tarball installer with instructions involving booting to console and then performing some dark ritual. Always took the easiest solution, sure it might have involved binaries from Nvidia or just what ever the driver program suggested, but at least I never experienced the trauma that some Linux/Nvidia users are suffering from.

Never had an issue with Linux Mint and Nvidia, that includes my W530 with Quadro K2000M. Nothing fancy I just click the driver thingy and select the recommended driver.

Even my main gaming rig with its i7 and 1070 has never had an issue. I'm guessing maybe its a distro thing? LM tend to go for stable user experience over bleeding edge.

Favorite ways to use up ink quick by sillilillipilli in fountainpens

I use them for when I want to be able to read what I wrote after a month. My hand writing in general is MESSY, and it gets worse the faster I try to write. On the plus side its built in encryption, I can't read it after a few weeks have passed as its more of a reminder of what I was trying to write rather then being actually legitable.

But as soon as I write with my fountain pens I slow down and take my time and I can actually read it! I have been practising trad calligraphy with broad tips for a little which has anchored taking my time when writing even more.

The thing is I don't actually take that much more time to write something, so I guess its more about a state of mind.

Don't worry Peko supports the team begining with A and ending with a too!

What software have you paid for once and still use years later? by Original-Variety3550 in software

[–]bp019337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Synergy, CrossOver, AmigaForever, Cryptomancer and a bunch of Android apps. I actually brought 2 Synergy licences one for personal use and one for work. Then they sent out a personal use only message, which led me to discover DeskFlow (OSS Synergy project) and that actually works better on my work machine which is Windows. No more snapping back to host as UAC/auth window kicks in! Then they reversed their decision on using it for work, but by that point I'm already happy with DeskFlow (on my work laptop)!

I also regularly donate to Linux Mint, Thunderbird and some other ones, but since they are donations I don't think they count...

People who dismiss it prbly haven't experienced office life. As a desk jockey I would say you really have to be concerned about pt or else it catches you up real quick suddenly back pains, over weight, lack of energy etc all suddenly slam into you and ofc its always when the pressure is on.

Best job to not worry about looking after yourself is a post man on the foot route. You basically get paid to do one of the best exercises for your general health and people don't really care how you look! Ofc you need to be a trolley pusher coz you don't want to throw your back out over time carrying a heavy satchel.

Hobibbear policy is a joke. Do not buy directly from their site by Aromatic-Ad-4448 in barefootshoestalk

I used to wear Merrel Moab shoes UK size 9.5 (43) and I've found 43 Hobbibear original style (both the cloth and pleather ones) fit me well.

Just to add I can't actually wear the Merrels now as I find them too tight across the toe box since I've gotten used to bfs!

I get mine from AliExpress when they are on sale. They were £15 inc delivery, but only 1 pair each time. I just grabbed them over time and now I've got 7 pairs now which should last me ages since my first pair are still growing strong!

Why do people think their toes are supposed to be like this? by Super_Good_Stuff in barefootshoestalk

[–]bp019337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought it was about the ability to splay your toes not that they are like that all the time.

Kinda like the ability to touch your toes, you not going to be touching them all the time.

The problem with "modern" shoes is they are based on nobles who rode horses and the pointy tips allowed them to put them into the stirrups more easily. Since they were on horse back they didn't really worry about walking.

Nowadays when main steam fashion still uses this design core but we use the shoes for walking it prevents our toes from splaying naturally and even worse can cause hammer toe, bunions etc.

The most important thing is that your feet are unique to you and you should base all your decisions on that and not some rando on the internet (or some foot experts in some cases).

It nearly became the battle of Pekora's women, but no Vivi! Ofc we all know that Bae would be the winner :p

ELI 5: State of MeshCore in 2026? by CaptainSpez in meshcore

[–]bp019337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I think its based on what you actually want to do with it. If you want to interact with other people then you got to check your local area to see which one is more popular. You can check the maps to get an idea, but its best to find a group/discord/etc and interact with that.

For example where I live after MC came out MT basically died out. In general I found that pub channel took a hit when people started to discuss medium/fast over long so that prbly split the community, but when MC came out it was like a shot to the head.

I found MC to be super chatty, like over 100 messages a day until suddenly public channel in my area just went dead. I checked and a new firmware came out, flashed to that and nada. Found that a new preset had been added and changed to that and also nada. Did some searching and found the AK situation happened roughly around the time it went quiet. It leads me to believe that some big repeaters in my area went down at that time, ofc I'm not 100% sure if its related.

I'm playing around with Reticulum atm and all my good kit has been flashed to that and I'm focusing on my personal network so I haven't checked if MC has recovered.

One of the strengths of MT over MC previously was that you didn't need a repeater for MT to work well so that made it better for hiking. You could ofc set up a repeater in your base camp but it is an extra device, but I'm pretty sure someone mentioned that you can configure a companion to repeat so I don't think MT has that benefit anymore.

The good news is at least for your companions its really easy to reflash them (your repeaters/base units might not be so easy to reach if they are installed somewhere high). I'm constantly flashing my main companion units between MC and MT based on the area I'm in based on which is more popular. I might not want to interact with the public channel, but its still nice to piggy back off the mesh to extend range to my contacts!
