Does lemmy have useless red circle sub yet?

Simply put, I need to buy groceries.

It's not that I will have issues learning or researching, it is that I don't have the time too.

If the barrier to using Linux is needing to spend time troubleshooting and researching to do simple tasks, I just won't.

So far this thread has been very enlightening to me, I'm excited to try something new. But my OS is not my hobby.

Oh wonderful! Thank you for the suggestions!

It's what I got to use in highschool computer class, I'm a sucker for what I know.

So I'm building a new computer before the end of the year and lemmy is obviously pushing me towards Linux.

I am not computer savvy, I have a family member that will help me set up my PC, but I do not want to be calling/messaging them every day when I want to open a program.

Basically my question comes down to: can I operate a Linux PC these days without needing to troubleshoot or type code.

I use my computer about once a week for a few hours I would say, so any time spent troubleshooting is time wasted.

Thanks!

EDIT: since a lot of people are asking what programs I typically use, I'll just list my most used programs.

Word, Excel, ect(I'm fine with alternatives)

Spotify

Gimp (would have been a make or break, so I'm glad it's supported)

Brave browser (browser is a browser)

Steam

Discord

I would say that while I could figure out how the kernels work, I'm at a point with computers these days where I don't have the time. My priorities fall with a seamless daily experience. If I have the time to figure something out I can, but ideally my day to day usage being unbotherd is what I'm after.

A lot of the comments so far have been helpful! I'm definitely going to give Linux a fair shot with my new build, probably start with Mint.

Am I interpreting this graphic wrong? Will a change in vote method lower our options?

While we have "2 superpowers" here in Canada, at least we have 7 represented parties, the other methods have less overall representation?

Gnu Image manipulation program, no? What a dumb article

This is literally exactly what I meant, far right folks believe that meta specifically sensors their content.

What's funny is that both sides of the political spectrum are going to think this is targeting them. When in reality it's more than likely only going to be used to squash misinformation.

This has got to have been satire right? Since the upvotes/down have been blanked, I'm going to assume it had negative ratio

[–] Noved@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago

Good price, but has been cheaper (160) in recent times

The reason that I will never buy discord nitro, it's because they aggressively pushed their nitro light on me one time, and I saw that it included an increase to the file size. I foolishly thought, well clearly if they're increasing the file size, then the character limit must also be increased like in regular nitro. Nah, couldn't even include a boost to the character limit.

 

They might not be the most consistent, but I'm learning a lot! Recipe will come with the final total product photo tomorrow!

 

Starting my 3rd double recipe of Country Loaf for the weekend, goal is 4-5 or 16-20 loaves!

Recipe:

High quality bread flour: 375g
Garlic powder: 5g
Italian Seasoning: 5g

Water: 225g
Oil: 40g
Poolish: 200g (it's what I had on hand, I'm would normally have only used 100g) 
Active Dry Yeast: 5g
Salt: 15g

1. Mix water with poolish and Oil
2. Mix salt in wet and combine with dry
3. Knead till a ball forms (skin will tear easily)
4. Rest in warm environment for 30 mins.
5. Knead into smooth ball, rest for 30 mins
6. Flour (or semolina) rolling surface and expand to two, 10 inch rounds. See tips after recipe
7. Build your pizzas and bake at 425 for 20ish mins

Pizza shaping tips!

-wet dough is harder to handle, but way easier to shape.

-equal parts semolina and flour is an awesome dust for your bench.

-tossing your pizza in the air is a great method to expand a soft and supple dough. It’s also real fun.

-let your dough balls rest for 15-20 mins before expanding.

-place your dough ball on the dusted bench and press from the inside out. Try to avoid breaking the skin!

-always rotate the dough while expanding it. Envision a circular rope around the outside of the crust that you are trying to stretch but not break. If you do this right you will be able to actually feel the gluten strands forming a circle around your dough.

In honor of my switch to Lemmy, I think I'm finally gonna name this starter. Meet Lemmy!

This week's sourdough Sunday, I wasn't able to pay too much attention to their proofing this week and I overfed my starter the night before. Oops!

 

Something I want to get going here on a weekly basis! Make your own post with a picture of your sourdough starter! I'm hoping to make sundays Sourdough Sundays so if you bake sourdough yourself, let's post some beautiful (or maybe not so!) Loafs tomorrow!
