That’s wild

Meh, just clean water spots in the shape of feet, it’ll dry 🤷‍♂️

Oh man, I don’t know how this could be true. I work manual labor, in sneakers. I spend all summer recreational time in either flip flops or barefoot. So while I don’t have huge callouses on my feet, I’ve got some. Not tender baby feet.

But still, one day it was like 70 or 80 out, I changed out fancy clothes into shorts, but forgot to pack my flip flops. I really wanted to walk down to an event that was going on, but I didn’t want to wear black fancy shoes with my shorts. So I went barefoot on the sidewalk, about 3/4 of a mile.

I did like you said and walked in the grass a lot, but man the concrete was hotter than I expected. It didn’t hurt at first, but each new step I took found freshly warmed concrete that just heated my foot more. Keeping moving definitely wasn’t helping. Eventually it started to hurt, even with walking in as much grass as I could.

I got to where I was going, grass covered area, and didn’t think too much of it.

When I went to leave? Oh man. My feet hurt. Looking at them closely, I had several blisters on both feet. I cooked em. I couldn’t walk back, I had to call my friend to pick me up.

That was on regular concrete. I cannot imagine doing that on asphalt, I wouldn’t make it a hundred feet.

Maybe I really do have tender baby feet 🤔

30s checking in, local gas station had one up until 10 or 15 years ago. I moved, haven’t been back since to check if it’s still there 🤷‍♂️

As far as I understand it, you shouldn’t put peroxide on most, or maybe even any, wounds. It indiscriminately kills good and bad bacteria as well as your body’s cells. So it can make the wound take much longer to heal.

Similar, but I think different, with iodine. You shouldn’t use it in most cases.

The recommendation is to use warm soapy water to rinse/clean the wound really good. That’s all.

If the wound is deep enough or gnarly enough that this doesn’t seem reasonable? Well, peroxide wasn’t gonna help you anyway, go to the doctor.

I’m happy to be wrong here, to be corrected. But this is how I understand it.

Also I do keep peroxide in my cupboard, as well as rubbing alcohol. Their uses just aren’t for wounds.

That’s a good point.

I don’t know much about how federation works, but that seems like a good reason to move to piefed

My wife has one, I don’t like to use it, it’s too aggressive for me.

I can reach my back with my arms. To get the spot right between my shoulders I have to reach up and come down from the top with one arm, while using my other hand to grab my elbow and pull it to push my hand low enough to get it more effectively.

The ole AT power supply standard. Nice.

Yeah that seems quite disingenuous for a device that literally popularized a whole new platform for PC gaming, and has spearheaded the efforts of Windows games on Linux, to the point of actually outperforming native installations of many games.

Bad journalism is bad.

Why don’t you just get one beefy computer, then use something like Nucleus Co-op to split screen multiple sessions of the game on one TV?

Or if you’ve already got multiple copies of the game on multiple devices, you can use something like a multiviewer to split it up.

No need for a special TV in either case 😉

With Piefeds migration feature, is it necessary? Since federation means the existing content won’t go anywhere?

The YouTube comments are almost entirely bots, all with variations on this same comment about the transition to action. Except they’re all like “I’m so ready!” “I’m here for it!” Etc.

It’s wild.

I’m sure you’re not a bot though. Or are you… 🤔🤔😂

Yeah, definitely pandering to a specific crowd 🤷‍♂️

Oh! Lol I see the confusion. I meant I’m leaving the typo. I’m on my phone for 90% of Lemmy stuff. My phone autocorrected distros to Doritos. It was funny so I left it 😅

Sorry lol

Howdy! Hmmm, not sure I understand the first question. What put me off? So far I really like Bluefin. Most of my Linux experience prior to this was with Ubuntu, I’ve been tinkering with it since it’s second or third release. I also played with some lightweight Xfce based distros for a bit, I think it was the original damnsmalllinux?

At any rate, I daily drove Ubuntu for a year or so, every few years. I always faded away for various reasons, ending up back on Windows.

I’ve always had some flavor of Debian on a spare machine laying around somewhere though. My extremely unimpressive home server has always ran Ubuntu.

I toyed with arch on an old Chromebook, but that wasn’t for me at all.

I got a steam deck when they first came out, and that reinvigorated my desire to play with Linux on the desktop. But that still didn’t push me over the edge into installing it on my main machine.

I bought a framework 13, my first brand new laptop… Ever. Always went used or hand me downs. I decided it was time, I’m ready to go full Linux. I’m sick of all this win 11 crap.

So I did a lot of research, asked some questions around here, and ended up on bluefin. My main desire was stability. I’m not afraid of poking around in the command line, I’m fairly comfortable there for basic stuff. But my installs always seem to slowly acquire and accumulate… Issues. As I use them. Little things that build up, little issues that become show stoppers. I’ve never successfully (as in, without any issues at all) upgraded from one version of Ubuntu to the next.

Maybe that’s all Ubuntu’s fault? (I don’t care for it anymore, it’s not like it used to be) Or maybe it’s just a Linux thing? Or maybe I’m just more destructive than I realize?

At any rate, atomic/immutable seemed like the way to go for me. The second I heard about it, I was skeptical, but the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like it would solve my issues.

The core is stable, and unless I purposely dig into it, it’ll stay stable. Theoretically. Flat packs can come and go, but when I need my machine for something, it’ll be there and waiting.

I’ve only had it for a couple months now, and so far I love it. Recently I had to install zoom on it, there’s a flatpak. It’s… A little buggy, in some weird ways. Sluggish at times… But stable enough for what I need.

Most recently I installed OBS flatpak so I could screen record zoom. I expected issues, but I only had one tiny one, and a quick Google had me change one setting, and I was off. No issues. Felt good.

I’m running gimp and audacity, rythmbox, and others I can’t think of. So far so good.

I AM having a reoccurring issue with Firefox, suddenly it will crash every new tab I open until I restart it. But I haven’t looked into that yet, been too busy. That’s pretty annoying when it happens.

And yes I meant distro boxes, the one that basically installs a simultaneous version of another distro, and it shares your home folder? Works pretty well for what I need thus far, which was just to run git to compile some project files.

But I’m also running boxes, the VM. I have a couple highly specific, and therefore identifying so I won’t be sharing them here, windows apps that I need. One can’t run in proton, the other is connected to a delicate shared database I’d rather not corrupt, so I’m just doing what I have to do. At the end of the day, a computer is a tool, and I’m gonna do what I gotta do to do what I gotta do. But when I can ditch windows completely, I will.

Sorry for the wall of text, hopefully that answers your questions 😅

Edit: oh one last thing. I do wish I had gone with a kde variant. I recently learned that you can still do some of the compiz window management tricks in plain kde. I miss those.

I, too, am experimenting with immutable Doritos.

I’m running Bluefin, so far I’m quite pleased. Anything needing deeper access or only available in package form, I’ve been able to run in boxes.

Edit: I’m leaving it

I’ve definitely pulled my hair out with docker too. Banged my head against the wall for a couple days before finally giving up.

I’m not ridiculously tech savvy, but I’ve tinkered with Linux since I was young, daily drive it on my laptop. I’m not afraid of the command line, and I’m smart enough to search for help and guides when I need it.

But something about docker just breaks my brain. Maybe I’m too old and there’s too much abstract thought required, I don’t know. But I can’t figure it out.

It’s an interesting trend these days, people wearing headphones and earbuds everywhere they go.

It’s not my preference, and I get that it’s a personal choice.

I agree there are definitely times where it makes sense, alone at the gym for example.

But I see groups of kids walking around, most of them with at least one or both headphones/earbuds on/in, and I’m like, what are you listening to? I can’t imagine doing that.

But obviously some people like it, it’s just not me 🤷‍♂️

It’s funny, my brain scanned right over that, I could’ve sworn he said crumple because I expected crumple

Oh man, I’m gonna look into this. I’m currently running Bluefin, but maybe I’ll pivot over to Aurora 🤔

Thanks!
