Macarons (lemm.ee)
 

This is my first time baking macarons. I’m not a rookie in the kitchen but i’m also not a pro. I followed this recipe: https://ricette.giallozafferano.it/Macarons.html (it’s in italian but i think there should be an english version). Pic of the disaster: https://ibb.co/NFNdMLV

This man would be TOO good for any country. His visions are out of this world, he would have a lot of powerful enemies. Americans would probably kill him in the first month of an hypothetical presidency.

What do you actually learn about Linux? How do those two differ?

Why would i need to? I tried Linux and it's mental. Took 20 minutes to edit mount settings on my hdd. fstab, gnome disks, and whatnot. Meanwhile Windows is: here's your files bro, whenever you want. And don't even get me started with the countless problems i encountered to install apps, edit hdd permissions, configuring panels and more.

How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I'm trying to be the devil's advocate here: one could say that one is an innocent "life" while the other is not.

I checked Kagi and i was very curious but 5$ a month?? For a search engine? For a limited number of searches?

You’re a moron if you think that Trump and Harris are the same on Palestine

The real moron is you thinking things will change under Harris. Sorry.

Nope, not what i said. On the Israel-Palestine issue Harris and Trump are the exact same. Harris should better focus on other issues bacause no one is going to be fooled by her words (hopefully).

Does this make sense? (lemm.ee)
 

I'd like to get back to using Google as my search engine. I tried DDG, Startpage, Qwant, even Searx and while they're all pretty decent they all have their flaws, and unfortunaltely Google is still the most reliable. I use Firefox (Floorp) and i've found out an extension called Google Container. I have my VPN always on and Google always slaps me with that fucking captcha when i start a new session (i reset cookies and stuff on closing). Does keeping Google in the exceptions on closing (keeping data and stuff) and opening it in a container make sense?

So many questions, so much headache (lemm.ee)
 

So i really wanted to ditch windows once and for all so i’ve tried Linux for a week trying different distros (debian, manjaro, ubuntu, opensuse, mint) and first of all why? Why are there so many distros out there? What’s the difference between debian + kde and manjaro + kde? They look the same, they work the same. I don’t get it. Also why do things have to be complicated? I’ve installed debian, installed calibre to manage my ebooks, created a library from an existing library on my hard drive (not the one with debian installed), ERROR! All the files are read-only. What???? I’ve followed multiple guides on how to change permissions and finally solved the problem. Now let’s restart my pc. files on the hard drive are read only WHAT???? Fuck debian, let’s go on manjaro. No problems at all on calibre. Managed to create the library as easy as i did on windows. My question is: where’s the fun in this? It’s just problems, after problems, after problems and i didn’t even start gaming. I mean i tried installing retroarch and importing my saves but of course nothing works. Read this guide, read that guide. Nope. Nothing works. Ok, fuck retroarch let’s customize the appearance of my desktop: move some icons on the panel, center this, adjust height, move this on the left, spent 30 minutes tweaking, very nice… kde crashes, all back to default. Let’s download some apps. I want as many apps that i already know as possible. Let’s see if jdownloader is available for linux. Yep there’s one. Nope, not for manjaro (officially). There’s a AUR package available. Nice. What do i need to do to install a AUR package? A wall of text on the wiki, 20 minutes videos, yay. Ok let’s call it a day. Do i need to live another life to make linux work?

How do you use Wine/Proton? (lemm.ee)
 

One of the biggest things holding me back from jumping definitively on Linux is possibly getting rid of the apps/games i'm comfortable with and know well. How do you exaclty use Wine/Proton? You install it, launch the app with it and pray it works? Are there ways to know what is not working and possibly try to fix them googling or reading the documentation?
