I love how this chart is going to update every year.

I understand your concern. I wouldn't be criticising their spelling in the main body of the post, but at the very least they should be spell checking the title. An occasional typo is usually forgiving but if the Lemmy feed is showing a post with many spelling mistakes it's not going to go down well.

Learning spelling and ensuring it is correct is part of learning a language.

If I was posting in a Chinese forum, I would be very careful to ensure the Chinese characters are correct. Differences in minor radicals can make all the difference, e.g. 慢 and 漫 are distinctively different words. It's a different kind of spell checking.

Half your posts are specific questions to a specific game which could be answered by searching Google. Such posts do not promote open discussion.

And you might need to check your spelling a bit.

If you had a post like 'I really love Red Dead Redemption 2 (note spelling is correct here) for (insert mission here)', other Lemmy users might chime in with their own favourites.

So you need to curate your posts a bit. Maybe stick to commenting for the time being.

Be yourself, children will get past your facade and your inhibitions when you realise it.

I've sometimes behaved as if I don't give a shit and they still trigger me in the right direction to make me goofy.

So based on other comments here, the delicious recipe for brisket is:

  1. Bathe the brisket in copious brine.
  2. Place in an oven on low heat on timer for 300 years.
  3. Ensure that during this time the brisket is pounded by gamma radiation continuously.

Did they reach a conclusion or still ongoing?

I mean it makes sense because it needs to be bright in daylight.

In China people are pretty honest about it being the time of the month or trying for a baby. As a father myself, my friend and colleague just told me they were trying. I just never went through the experience of 'trying'. My wife and I just conceived randomly and immediately we went 'Yes let's keep it!' No regrets.

Building on their comment, perhaps the capacitor is building up energy and dissipates it every 20 seconds. Like beats in resonance when you hear a pulsing in the volume when a guitar plays a single note or chord.

And it's easy to lose the routine and gets even harder to start again.

My most recent example with EndeavorOS was trying out KDE which I thought looked really smart on the desktop. Then it started glitching. Arch tends to be bleeding edge so that makes sense. But it meant I had to make a new choice of distribution or DE.

But Debian based Ubuntu? On Virtualbox? That seems a bit off. Maybe LTS would provide the stability you need.

I guess because development is decentralised, that you end up with developers working on different packages and when they update one it has a ripple effect on other packages.

You make a good case. In my more simple case, I need efficient and smart looking PowerPoints and no foss alternative can beat office 2016. And dozens of programs are windows only. I've tinkered with wine/play on Linux before and it just doesn't work out of the box for the majority of programs.
