I think the egg came first because in order for the chicken to even exist and evolve to its current state, it would need to be first hatch only BY THEN it becomes the famous clucking bird we know and love.

Checkmate chicken-ists your move?

So since the last 2 days, I've been building the courage up to start doing exercises. I'm starting with weights that were just collecting dust so thought "hell why not, never too late to start getting fit"

Now I'm being realistic knowing that starting off you're not gonna be shredded like a wrestler but I'm just tryna get leaner and fitter body wise.

Is it reasonable for absolute novices to never go to the gym for their exercise and fitness journey? I feel like would be saving some dosh even though I could be missing on some equipment they use there.

A penny for your thoughts?

For me the nostalgia glasses are turned up to the max for Crash Bandicoot.

I love the character designs, and the music is an absolute bop to listen to. (Got the first games theme as my ringtone even at 27!)

And I enjoyed a good challenge with some of its levels. The bosses were neat and I thought it was just an unusual neat idea that you jump on boxes to progress rather than punching a block for a fireflower.

You?

My favourite season has gotta be spring, here's why :

For me in the UK, when spring hits its basically a diet coke version of summer, sure there's some rain but boy when it's sunny, then its a great feeling because you're not too hot and bothered.

Same things for sleeping at night, oh and it's not so cold that you can comfortably wear almost anything without being absolutely cooked like an egg!

What about you?

My favourite has got be Mario Kart Wii, it's still got a community and I'd say it is the Melee of Mario kart.

Plenty of good tracks, roster and bopping music.

What about you? What is your favourite Mario kart? I know Double Dash has a soft spot in some people's hearts.

My favourite Metroid game has got to be Zero Mission on the GBA.

A weird choice maybe but it was my first metroid when I played the GBA, I thought the music and atmosphere was kick ass and enjoyed the simple enough controls.

For a 3D Metroid it would be the trilogy on Wii at the time.

What about you?

Not a snob on cooking and food wise, I found this to be a good question when debating my friend over beans on toast (UK here).

He says it doesn't really count as cooking cos you're just buying already produced ingredients to whack in a microwave or pot and that proper cooking is done from scratch.

I argue this is bullshit as you're still USING common cooking equipment to make as something as simple as beans on toast because you still have to watch it not burn or dry out.

What are your thoughts on what counts as proper cooking? Would you say canned soup counts? Or frozen pizza since you're still needing to use an oven and watch the food accordingly?

I'd like to move off from the shackles of the Google menace and transferring my Gmail related accounts over including steam but I'd like some solid advice of any well regarded and better alternatives (including open source if that is possible)

I did search but was unsure of what was best as I did hear some shoddy things about Proton.

Do you know anything that could be the "aegis 2fa" of email providers?

Thank you and have a good day/night.

My favourite part of modern history is the cold war, my country of choice would be the U.S.S.R

My reasons are simple:

  • They sent the first man into space and sent Sputnik which sent the USA into a space chasing frenzy that made moon discovery possible.

  • Their flag, whilst simple like the PRC, is iconic in both memes but also infamy amongst Eastern European people as a sign of the historical power they wielded over half of Europe. I also just think it's look cool.

  • Some of their structure sort of lives on in the modern era such as the PRC's Politburo basically being a chinese version of the soviet one

  • I quite like a lot of the military hardware they made like the T 72 which is my favourite tank.

  • The soviets are responsible for Tetris!!!

What is your favourite historical country? It can be ancient, medieval, colonial era or cold war era etc.

Have a good day/night!

This is gonna sound like a troll post but i assure you it is not.

I don't have a coding background but I've used Teams in a lot of workplaces and really only encountered like 2 issues entirely.

Either I got seriously lucky or it was before enshittification.

Why do you yourself dislike it? Is it UI? Performance?

I should also say I use Teams for basic purposes like messaging and uploading files, I literally don't touch anything else and performance hadn't been an issue. (Likely because I've been given thicc-ass workstations in the past)

My least favourite day has to be Wednesday because it's still in the middle of the week, you get two more days to battle through and it just feels like it won't ever end.

Monday I can deal with because you know it's only the start, Tuesday it's meh for me.

Thursday I'm okay cos I'm gearing up for Friday and the weekend.

What about you?

My favourite chocolate is a british classic, Terry's Chocolate orange.

You get a ball of individual chocolate slices and it tastes pretty nice with that tangy orange after taste.

It's often pretty cheap to get and a staple for many peoples birthdays and celebrations in the UK, you'll always find one on a table or in your kids gift bag.

What about you? What is your favourite and why in the country?

Bit rude, Whilst I understand tech changes and evolves, some are literally the Just Works meme and don't need to be rapidly changed.

it's gotta be Xonotic baby, basically a quake clone that is completely free, a decent sized player based and frag loads of fun!

Got it on me Ubuntu desktop starting out for FOSS games.

Thank you for this, wise sage.

The PR Marketing guys sure don't, but the actual Machine Learning and AI computer scientists sure do!

I'd wager a lot of marketing people only skim the basic surface of what it does and just plaster it to their supervisors without you know.. working with the ACTUAL technical experts in that field.

Plus they think the non techie is a dum dum who don't know no better.

If I'm not mistaken Nestlé, the firm that makes various brands of chocolate, are known or at least have been known to include slavery in really poor parts of the world.

When I look at a bottle or a cuddly packaged bit of chocolate, I shudder to think the shit conditions that a person, a child even was forced or on crap pay to produce that from the cocoa farming..

I don't bother using things like Copilot or other AI tools like ChatGPT. I mean, they're pretty cool what they CAN give you correctly and the new demo floored me in awe.

But, I prefer just using the image generators like DALL E and Diffusion to make funny images or a new profile picture on steam.

But this example here? Good god I hope this doesn't become the norm..

The problem is mate is that not all games have native Linux versions, If FIFA 17 were on steam, you could use proton on it but I believe it isn't.

It just comes with the territory of Linux that some games are windows only and can be finicky.

Minecraft however, should run fine on potato machines and with Linux, should have a native port you can install from say Flatpak.

When moving to the penguin train, he needs to write down what software and games he wants to use, and what might be omitted due to compatibility issues.

If the man wants to use Windows, let him be, he might reconsider in future about trying Mint again or another distro like Kubuntu.

[-] Tekkip20@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I prefer Flatpaks because it's a nice easy way of getting software without the chance of broken or missing dependencies for a program.

Much better than Snaps, snaps is flatpaks but MUCH worse and slower.
