Greetings from Linux. An update on my #LinuxCurious attempt to make Mint my new daily driver...
My audio issues? I spent way too many hours trying to diagnose/fix.
@RadND came in with... Have you tried *fully powering down* and booting directly into Linux? And, amazingly, that worked.
I guess in all that time I was only doing restarts which weren't enough to reset hardware to a good state for Linux. 🤯
@octavinavarro It did, to be fair
(Alas, I thought it was part of the "joke" 🤦😇)
#UserError #StillCompletedItTho
@bughunter wow, I am an absolute doofus - I realized now that I was entering the WRONG information for the boot order while using efibootmgr -n command.
It wasn't the usb stick - it was me 😞
…not knowing what I am doing in #linux, opens up unlimited chances for me mess things up… I had it working and then I failed to get #timeshift up and running… about to do the 3rd clean install…
🤟😌✨
btw how do I get an #appimage added to the panel with the other apps?
…and what is the best way to install 2 versions of blender?
#usererror #linuxmint #blender
Every time I get my digital calipers out of their case to use, the CR2032 battery is dead. Fortunately, the last time I had to buy some it was cheaper to buy a 25 pack than just one.
I think I've been putting the manual back in the case in such a way that it presses/holds the power button down. #UserError
I had a 3G only phone replaced as the telcos are switching off 3G services.
New phone is #SamsingA05s.
Waited till I had a screen protector and case before taking it with me.
Found it un-usable for calls as the audio was woeful.
Harsh words about #MrSamsung's character were spoken.
Then I noticed the see-saw volume button behaving very strangely.
Closer inspection showed the gel case to be constantly depressing the centre of the see-saw.
See photos for the chisel-knife fix.

No, the fact that the 'save a new view' option only appears when you've actually made changes to a system view is not a bug.
Spent 12 days cooking data using a third party solution, which didn’t print progress, and it seems to have crashed before saving to disk… 🤬😭😱
Most likely #UserError, but now sure how else I could’ve used it.
At least I’ve figured out a new approach which should reduce the need for long cooking… 🤞🤞🤞
When you hear "I just bought this car new off the showroom and I am going to drive until the wheels fly off!"
You tend to expect that trip to be longer than 115 miles.
But it was a #Tesla. So... #UserError caused the suspension to snap in half.
Dear Gmail, Thanks for the "create event" feature within emails -- & thanks for defaulting to sending invites to every recipient of the email, even those who were blind copied. Because what I really want when trying to quickly save an event I've learned about from a listserv is to spam every other person on that list and then spend hours getting bounce back emails.
#doh🤦♀️
#usererror
#ugh
I keep forgetting to thread my #ClimateChange posts because I thought I'd lost the "save drafts" functionality in the #IceCubes #app.
I just realized that was pure #UserError and that drafts still do save correctly and can be found by clicking the file box icon in the app's toolbar (screenshot attached)
I am finally quitting using #Windows on my main machine, the motherfucker totally corrupted my #btrfs data partition while trying to install #GTAV and #lossless albums onto it. The part started "locking" itself down, started to get cheskum errors and now im about to lose about 100gb of music, roms and games because of corporate garbage. This could be also a #usererror that could've been prevented if windows made things easier for alternative #filesystems but they want market for themselves.

#Excel #usererror #fehler
Andreas Babler is now head of the SPÖ. Because the votes were swapped during the count... So it was not Hans Peter Doskozil who got 52.7 percent of the votes, but Babler.
The error happened when transferring to an Excel spreadsheet. The lists from the ballot boxes were brought together and fed into the system. The mistake happened: "The result was reversed," says Grubesa
As another said, why use Excel? Can't the SPO count to 600?
That moment when you send a voice message and realise that you announced all the punctuation because you thought you were dictating, rather than recording audio. Agrgrgr.  #UserError #Accessibility
So screen reader dictionaries are funny things. I made an entry for the word "chi" I made it pronounce with a long E sound. I then became baffled when schism, chicken, and chill all started to sound completely jacked up. Confounded technology! #UserError :disability_flag:
Happy #WorldBackupDay! In this recent article, Andreas Stolzenberger shows you how to create versioned backups of local drives with Git https://www.admin-magazine.com/Archive/2022/72/Versioned-backups-of-local-drives-with-Git #Git #versioning #SSD #data #storage #UserError
