I don't like giving money to the homeless, that's why every month I make some grab bags, usually five or six because we have a few spots where people panhandle in my city. I based the grab bags off the weather, sometimes a cheap hat or shirt or sandals in the summer, and in the winter things like beanies scarves or gloves. Then throw some plant-based protein bars in there maybe a little candy, You will definitely want things that won't spoil in the heat of the car. Then a couple self-care items like some travel toothpaste and toothbrushes, chapstick gum that sort of thing.

Every time the dumbass Texans get fucked by their representatives the question their leadership for about a month from what I've seen 😂 then back to business as usual. they love the free market so much I'll bet they still haven't winterized their infrastructure after that cold snap that destroyed a bunch of people's houses. They probably don't even think about it anymore, guess we will find out the next time that it happens

They are censoring things posted to Lemmy.world? Just deleting things that talk about the IDF? I've seen lots of discussion of the IDF, including this post in my feed, so I don't think their censorship is working? I don't have any attachment to .world, trying to find out if I should leave the server based on this information

It was reminiscent of the older silly Batman stuff and I liked it! I'll die on that hill!

Right, is amazing as this would be to feel this vindicated, we are acting just like them if we fall into this kind of shit without evidence

This. So many left-leaning folks that I've talked to basically have this attitude, and present it to me like they are winning at life.

Like the title says I want to install a Linux distro on my old laptop. I am currently looking into installing a SSD, but I want to learn a distro for fun! I haven't been able to find a good current resource aside from the Linux Masters here, so I am actually asking for help on the Internet! What distro is the best!?

EDIT: thanks so much everyone for your recommendations and advice! I installed a couple of different systems before deciding that I think the laptop may be able to support Fedora with KDE plasma (my favorite flavor of the installs so far) and I'm finding it really attractive and easy to use. You will see once I get some more disk space used how the performance holds up! If it runs into trouble I might switch the machine back over to mint with, that one seemed to run really well and was pretty familiar seeming from my Windows days, also seem more low end and booted a little faster. I think I might even end up switching to Linux on my desktop I had so much fun with it last night!! I really appreciate all the information and will probably be experimenting with a more lightweight build on this computer in the future! I'm a Linux user and it was easier than I ever thought! ❤️

Maybe a little lighter on the "west" side of things and a little heavier on the "weird" side of things. Nevertheless there is a lot of "western" here to justify it! This is one of my favorite graphic novels

 

Just thought it was funny that looking back I've used Reddit for over 10 years and I never actually paid them a dime. I feel really good about donating so much money monthly here, though, because I have so much hope for this place and a brighter future for us all in the fediverse. So glad to have a place ready to catch me when I drifted away from something I've been doing so long! Love the new home here! Let's all run off a cliff together!
