Can I ask a stupid Linux question… Please bear with me… I’m using Mint (Also tried Ubuntu before) so I don’t know if it’s the same with every distro… but why is every setting and every little functionality it’s own ”app”? Why aren’t these ”compiled” into larger, coherent wholes? For someone whose first instinct when setting up a new computer is to delete every unnecessary thing, I feel a bit triggered by all these myriad little apps that do one thing. #Linux #LinuxMint #Noob

Me: Why is contrast so low in this video I just recorded?!

Five minutes later myself: Maybe stop hitting your lens with the direct light from the side?!

Wow, the inability to export Mastodon toots -- to populate a new account or to archive stuff -- sucks. Does anyone know a way to do this? Thanks in advance! #noob

@chillwig.bsky.social I’ve been listening to the Cornell FOTM most of my life…..and will admit to only today realizing the extent to which Bobby teases China Cat in the closing minutes.

I chalk this up to a crisp SBD and quality noise canceling earbuds that I didn’t have until six months ago. #noob

😒 Ah, the melodrama of a self-proclaimed "noob" who heroically decides to abandon "vibe coding" because struggling with basic concepts was too much for their delicate constitution. 😆 Don't worry, Varun, no one was rushing to steal your buggy, half-baked masterpieces anyway. 🚀

Hello sharkey humans. I'm new here, and to microblogging in general. What do you like to do here? #sharkey #fediverse #noob

@libertyoftheforest

I am sure there's a way, but I use the browser version. Following a hashtag is central to mastodon.

But look at the folks using the hashtag, and look at who they follow. Please, follow the ones that look most followish, followtastic, followable, French.

And help folks, that's really Mastodon.

Following. Following hashtags, finding folks is what's up here. You are the algorithm, you must find folks, no system puts people together.

So find hashtags, follow hashtags, find writers of your needs, follow them, engage.

"Engage"

Miserably failed to install @yunohost on an old Mac mini. Can’t figure why the thing won’t boot on usb. The screen to choose the startup drive don’t even show up. I’ll try other ways when I have more time.

I switched lenses on my Canon R50 yesterday while out and about, and a speck of something landed on the exposed sensor (it was blowing a gale).
I spent far too long trying to clean the lens before realising the dirt was *in* the camera.
I panicked and wiped the sensor with an alcohol wipe. I think it's OK but yikes.
If any photographic experts would like to advise whether I did it wrong I'd be grateful.

Dear Lonely Friends,

We are not alone. We are not the lone rangers. We are with elephant.🐘

Not just a woolly but a genuine virtual Mastodon...

Strangely enough, there are many #good people here. Many #genuine, #kind, #worthy friends.

Better start #chatting now...

More #noob clues along the way.

For example, DO NOT waste time on the dark places

Anyways, I am gonna:
- Drink my tea
- Learn about extreme rewilding
- Listen to the pigeons cooing

Test editing photo, I’m pretty happy with the results although recreating the style might be tough.

Mal ein Wordpress Noob Problem:

Habe über Youtube embed ein Video eingefügt. In der Editor Vorschau lädt das korrekt.

Wird der Post dann veröffentlicht, wird mir ein "bitte aktivieren Sie JavaScript" angezeigt. Hab verschiedene Browser durch, also liegt der Fehler mMn bei WP.

Also ja, scheinbar musd ich JS freischalten, aber wie wo warum???

Et pour #Peertube , avez-vous une instance à suggérer? C'est pour faire des vidéos sur mes vaporisateurs, pour les relayer sur mon Pixelfed dédié.

Bien trouvé le moment pour me mettre aux minages, aucun cailloux physicalisés trouvés sur eutherpe ou calliope, très peu d'astéroïdes trouvés autour de MicL1... Va pas être rentabilisé tout de suite mon prospector :/
