The A&W veggie burger is just as good. It’s funny to order it with bacon, (not a vegetarian, just like to moderate beef.) I’ve had a Beyond Meat burger, but it was from a cafeteria that clearly didn’t know how to cook.

Matt & Steve’s spicy pickled beans. So good! Whole jar down the hatch, one sitting.

I just did three nodes this evening from 8.4.1 to 9, no issues other than a bit of farting around with my sources.list files.

Not noticing anything significant, but I haven’t tried the mobile interface yet.

I like the infinite playlist on Lemmy. Lots of good stuff there!

This guy. He’s right.

A good taco. Actually, I think the enchilada guy was right. What he said.

Be in Siberia, Alaska, NWT, maybe inside a meat locker. Then head in her direction. Then leave her alone!

Would’ve: fine. Would have: fine. Would of: me go mental! Why do people do this?! Argh!

What’s the most niche Lemmy community you subscribe to? (Mine is https://lemmy.world/c/compactphones )

I’m so sorry! I have the same thing with 85, making me think you must be about 13 years my junior. Minus One is really, really good though. Highly recommended.

That Pac Man isn’t eating pellets, he’s eating burritos, but because if you look at a burrito face on, it kinda looks round, and the graphics at the time were so limited… Pac Man is secretly shilling Mucho Burrito (or whatever your local Mexican fast food joint of choice is.)

This is why 98 kinda sucked, and why Shin and Minus One kicked all the butts ever.

Climbed a tree, tried to jump to the next tree. Failed. Fortunately, I snagged a wasp nest on the way down. Nothing broken, anaphylaxis. Not breathing sucks. (I lived.)

I always wanted to try catfish, and there was a restaurant I really like that does everything else really well, so I tried it and… Nah. Tasted like fishy dirt meat. I’ve had bad duck, too.

Good to know! Legal, non-DRM? Do they have popular artists?

I literally got a tech support call last week asking, “How do I legally get MP3s to put on this new MP3 player I just got?” I was kinda stumped. “Umm… Rip a CD?”

Huh. Today I learned. I avoided snaps because Firefox snap took so dang long to load, and Firefox flatpak just launched…

Flatpaks: NOT Ubuntu’s containerized deliverable. They use snaps. Flatpaks are more Fedora’s thing. I know Mint uses flatpaks, and Silver blue relies heavily on them. Snaps v Flatpaks are like Coke v Pepsi. It’s all just sugar water, but people care, for reasons.

Tailscale: a VPN -esque service that lets you connect networks together in fun and interesting ways. For instance: I can use tailscale to access my home network from my phone!

Yup! Mint is, like, 90% Ubuntu, so almost every instruction that works on Ubuntu works on Mint. The only thing that’s different is that Mint “likes” flatpaks over snaps. These are two different ways to install apps, but honestly, you may never need to use either, and you can use either, both, or neither and not worry about it. Linux has a lot of “I like A over B for X reason.”, cue whining and moaning. You can mostly ignore it, or you can troll us Linux types over their particular A by saying “But I heard B was better…” None of it really matters. Gnome/KDE, apt/dnf, flatpaks/snaps, it’s all just a couple different ways of accomplishing the same thing, which is getting it done without paying some megacorp way too much money and giving up your data.
