I’m a dorky inflatable latex coyote! Linux nerd, baker, some 3D things as I learn. Also love latex. The material, not the typography thing.

    I find myself having to use my Switch pro controller when playing Wii U games on PC, because if I use my Xbox controller I get fucked up on button locations. But somehow holding the slightly different controller shape and button size makes my muscle memory switch for it cleanly.

    Not sure why they have multiple debs and RPMs when meta package dependencies can solve that.

    Otherwise?

    It’s because Windows only has an x86_64/amd64 CPU architecture.

    Here there’s ones for multiple ARM CPU architectures going back to the first raspberry pi.

    If Windows was readily available for those you can bet it’d be just as confusing with “wait am I armv6 or armhf? Or oh shit am I armv7??”


  • Struggling to read all the comments on mobile so apologies if this is a duplicate, but if you need recipes, Tandoor Recipes. I use it for hosting my own edits of recipes. Since I do baking streams it’s great for me to easily link to my stream for folks who want the same recipe including any tips I’ve added or variations, or something I’ve kinda come up with that’s based off a standard formula.

    Plus, using the Kitshn app on a tablet makes for an absolutely gorgeous kitchen companion for reading recipes. Split screening it between the recipe and the chat has been awesome. For real, Kitshn is absurdly polished for an open source app.








  • Despite it being their software, they don’t maintain this part. It’d be like saying Firefox is responsible for preventing fake bank websites from existing (this is ignoring how they also ship malware protection lists anymore to try and help). The Discover app is just a client where a distro supplies the software lists. On OpenSUSE it browses SUSE (and Flathub, if you add it.)

    On Ubuntu it browses Ubuntu’s APT repos and snap.

    You can easily alter what repos the software uses too, it’s just using whatever the distribution has configured it to use in conf files and repo lists.
