This doesn't work because of the decentralized nature of lemmy. Once it's posted it is there. You can delete it from your the instance that you're on but it won't immediately - if at all - take effect on other instances.

Sweet! That is good news. Given the power efficiency of ARM CPUs when compared to Intel and AMD, well, there just really is no comparison.

I love this! I just cannot wait for the day that I can build a RISC or ARM64 desktop in the same way we would an Intel or AMD one. I realize though that this is still a ways out.

I hope they stick with it and not go back to Microsoft. No doubt that there will be a learning curve and some growing pains but this is ultimately for the best. I wish them all of the success!

Well as they say, every dog has their day. It could be that the driver is just having a shitty day and we all have them. I try to be empathetic. As long as the guy isn't spouting out hatred and biogtry, they'll just get a reduced tip. I've been known to give even bigger tips to delivery drivers that are just plain awesome.

Given that gasoline is high and many pizza places pay pathetic sums of money, I always give 30% unless the driver was just plain rude and then I reduce it to 20%.

Here's my take: If you're going to learn Linux, go about it the right way and not the laziest way possible. You would be incorrect about simply learning the basics of the package manager. What happens if the package you've installed breaks something and uninstalling the package does not work?

Honestly, that still would not be enough to change my opinion here about Work From Home. We have the systems and tools at our disposal to make the office life redundant. The notion that work from home employees largely abuse the privilege is simply an opinion without any hard facts to back it up. Indeed it is actually the opposite. Employees are happier and more productive. A minority may abuse the privilege but those are the ones you fire for cause. You don't end a system that works overwhelming well. That would be kind of like scrapping a car because there is a small scratch on it.

The old notion of having to punch a clock is over as well!

I recommend people become power users with the command line before progressing because, in my opinion only, they're necessary. This is my opinion only and is in no way meant to discount your abilities. I was a Linux system admin who learned awk, sed, grep, and regex after the fact and I wished I'd learned it earlier. This is what formed my opinion.

I only like the color gold because of its implied value.

There are literally tons of good sites with lots of good information. First off, I would recommend a distro like Linux Mint Debian Edition. This is good for new and intermediate users alike. Manjaro is more for an intermediate to advanced user. What I would l do is install Linux Mint Debian Edition and then using your favorite search engine use the keywords "introduction Linux command line bash" You could also use YouTube. There is going to be a lot to learn and it may seem overwhelming.

The reason I am steering you to Google to find an intro course is not to be a jerk or elitist but to help you out. The best Linux system admins/engineers are masters at research. You only get better at research through practice. Seek out a good intro to the command line based on Linux Mint. Complete it, let me know what you learned, what you struggled with, etc. From there, I'll help you chart a course. You'll learn to love the command line. I do 90% of my work in a command line. Know the command line, Become an expert.
