@saintajax33 oh, if you @ someone and it's not a reply and your permission settings allow it, those show up to your followers

it's kind of a gotcha

@raccoon ...ish?

(maybe there's a delay?)

@raccoon ooh! looks like it finally happened!

@ShugoWah oh wow, maybe i can use in game references without worrying about the 3ds activity log now

a labor day story

*wakes up at 9:30AM*
me: wow! i don't even feel tired, maybe i won't waste m
*wakes up at 1:30*
me: ah

@Kit hee

i saw this, opened birdsite, and saw the picture immediately following this

i legit double-took

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz i, uh...see your conundrum

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz you can also dual-boot! that way it'll ask you when you start up your system which you want

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oh, thanks!

and that's conky. it's a system monitor that you can script in lua to show any kind of information you want

the theme it's using right now is a variation of "conky grey", because i'm a sucker for the look, and it has a lot of practical information that i use pretty often (well, except for the clock around the date, but it looks weird without it, haha)

@ShugoWah a lot of linux concepts are in the misc sections of the manpages

so if you type "man 7" and hit tab a couple of times, a lot of fundamental topics will pop up!

of course, not all of these are important, but it's nice to know they're there if you get confused about a convention you see

the one describing the filesystem hierarchy you're looking at is "man 7 hier"

@ShugoWah hey! no prob!

i really liked VMs, so i actually used them a lot both ways!

that said, i actually haven't used a windows 10 vm for an extended period of time, so i don't know how it compares to windows 8 (which ran quite nicely after it started!)

huh! it seems as if i can't actually dismiss these notifications if my language is set to en-xx

i wonder what's happening internally if a localization breaks functionality like that?

@ShugoWah oh! and graphics acceleration is sometimes kinda tricky

and without that, the interface won't be as fast

so that's a bit of a caveat that can cost a bit of extra effort sometimes

@ShugoWah it depends what you use for VMs

stuff like VMWare (Player) lets you basically steal USB ports from the host system, so tablet drivers act on windows as if you plugged them right in

overall, VMs don't take a ridiculous amount of power to run (because they usually aren't actually emulating anything), but they'll likely take a bit longer to boot than a native system depending on what else you're doing at the time

@ShugoWah autocompletion is amazing!

you can tab complete commands you've never used before, and still be able to use them!

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz mint is nice! i really like their in-house projects, like cinnamon!

it's so clean, and their default aesthetics work really well with very little customization

actually, that's what i run on my laptop! (which was also my only system until about a year ago)
