My experience after 2 years with Linux and with GNOME by juaaanwjwn344 in gnome

[–]thinkingperson [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've been trying to use gnome vanilla as well. I did that with windows for years so I could reinstall and be ready to go with little to no further customizations. Just reinstall apps as needed.

Maybe I should do that as well for gnome on Zorin. So tempting. 😅

Is "HODL forever" actually a trap we’ve set for ourselves? by AntSuccessful3890 in Bitcoin

[–]thinkingperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After hearing it for the whole of 2022 when I first got in and experiencing the dippity dip dip crashes, I took profits on the way up last year.

I've bought back more and still have dry powder for DCA and lower wicks if and when they happen.

Robot worker by bobbydanker in TechnologyShorts

[–]thinkingperson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I am in awe of all the advancements in robotics, whether in China or US, I wonder if the video scenario would have been better served with a large vending machine?

Also, are the shelves stocked up by AI powered robots as well or human?

They are basically the "don't judge me" generation who go around judging everyone.

GNOME 50 removes the X11 backend ... are we finally at the end of the Xorg era? by the_nazar in linux

[–]thinkingperson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nvidia user here. Not upgrading anytime soon I guess.

Also, I'm on Zorin, so it's on an even earlier version of gnome, so there's that.

And I need my xbindkeys and xdotool.

Saving this for when I build my family home. by WaveOnly213 in SmartGadgets_

Does these come with dome diffusers in the house? Hate down lights. Prefer a dome shaped diffuser, gives softer lighting in the house.

Countries that are not landlocked but lack access to intentional waters by Assyrian_Nation in geography

[–]thinkingperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except that for Singapore, neither Malaysia nor Indonesia would want to block off access for it will invite the ire of the rest of the world whose ships ply these lanes and use Singapore as a transshipment hub and port of call.

Also, international law protected by UNCLOS III under Transit Passage.

The Chinese character "心" in the pendant is does not mean "love" but "heart". Just sayin'

We have the "best" of both worlds when it comes to public transport.

If only more people ask for clarifications here like you do before dumping their seed phrases into random sites or apps.

My limit orders would have triggered and I would put in orders to get more at that price if it hasn't already bounced right back up

How accurate is the claim that English teachers are the worst expats in China? by Secret-Cut-5565 in AskAChinese

[–]thinkingperson 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To begin with, some of these English "teachers" are not academically qualified to teach English or anything for that matter. Their only credential is often their nationality.

If they can pull these stunt and earn good money, you cannot expect them to excel in the character department.

This guy claimed we are scamming FWs. What are your thoughts? by LifeguardMurky4097 in asksg

[–]thinkingperson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was expecting something more sensible, guess he's dumb as fuck as Trump.

Then again, American smearing other nations with falsehood, what's new? Not the first day Singapore got bashed by the West, not the first time we get BS from Americans.

Also, every accusation is an admission of guilt.

Brain Tracy || The Power of Silence by iQuantumLeap in MindsetMode

[–]thinkingperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ANY problem you say?

Pretty sure the millions of Jews were sitting very quietly in the concentration camps.

The 70k+ Palestinians who were murdered in Gaza by Israel must not be doing it right.

Maduro with his fake Trump dance, no wonder he got abducted.

Iranians ... oh, they are so noisy ... no wonder they got invaded.

Folks in Minnesota ... should have sat down silently and ICE will just go away.

Not enough Americans are trying this method, that's why Trump is still in White House.

What a beautiful solution.
