I made an account yesterday and it all seemed fine but after some hours it went empty. Can’t see any posts or anything and my profile is empty as well with a “?” as an icon 🤔

I’m making a bomberman game specifically for cases like these but it’s still in development… I think it’s playable but there will be some bugs. groundedraven.com

Breakfast, depends a lot on the day but a good one would generally have:

• Just Egg folded (vegan egg)
• Bread with butter and a slice of melty (vegan) cheese
• 2.5 or 3 breakfast sausage patties from Gardein
• Avocado
• Sprouts or cherry tomatoes

Some days it’s Soylent. I take B12 and D on a gummy.

Lunch my easy go-to I can eat almost any time:

• Gardein Supreme Chick’n nuggets (10)
• Fries
• Cheeze mozarella sticks (3 - 4)
• Avocado
• Microwaved broccoli

Dinner:

• Udon noodles
• Firm tofu
• Chinese chilli oil with flakes and peanuts
• Baby bok choy

Today I had:

• Swap chick’n inside
• 3 corn quesadillas with
• avocado
• Chinese chilli oil with flakes and peanuts

(Yes, I love avocado, I’m Mexican) While fish does have a lot of nutrients it’s quite easy to get them from other plant sources too :p

Because the US educational system is not made to give students the upper hand anymore, it’s meant to make yall obedient and dumb enough so that what’s going on politically could happen. An educated public would’ve never voted for Trump.

not care about their opinion

I seeee, thank you :)

I seeee, thank you :)

yeah, the automatic updates made me double think installing Godot from the snap thing but because I always update right away anyway and my game is quite small with only me working on it I thought to stick with it for now; also because it prompts you to save a back up before opening a project with a new engine version. It seems a bit wild to me that almost everyone that has commented here assumes that I use my pc for nothing but web browsing and documents or something… I thought the Linux community (full of tinkerers and developers) would make less of those assumptions than Windows users but it seems I was wrong haha

but I must know where it is so I don’t press it!

wow I’m amazed you’re the first person to suggest this, thank you !

oh… I hadn’t heard about any of those, thank you! Installing Flathub

Why would Flathub not be included with Mint? And how did you find it was in those three places? Did you look for it manually on each or is there a place that tells you where it’s distributed? Because on their website the only thing I found was the Download link that takes you to itch.io or their github page that doesn’t give any linux alternatives

edit: reviews in flathub say that there are some features that don’t work and it’s better to download from their itch.io page haha - it’s not the first review I see saying that about flatpaks, so there are valid reasons to just download them manually like one would in windows anyway

ooh thank you, that breakdown at the end was insightful!

There are plenty of reasons why one would use Snaps on Mint… I’ve been using it for like 2 days and so far I got: Blender, Godot, and Signal. Blender has an older version, Godot has a super old version, and Signal isn’t included in Software Manager. Outside of snap I manually downloaded Material Maker.

People keep telling me snaps are not needed and that I should find everything in the official repo and whatnot but that’s just wrong generalized assumptions from what I see, neither of those 3 programs are too niche either. There are plenty of people out there that do things outside of web browsing and file management in their computers, I’m so confused why Linux out of all communities would ignore hobbies with specialized software exist, game dev even

Yeah, I’m not new to Linux, I just couldn’t put in the work to learn how to actually use it safely and efficiently until now, also because it’s gotten much easier than last time I tried many years ago with more software compatibility. I have no intention of switching distros any time soon and there would need to be a massively good reason for me to even consider it. But I’m just curious why would you recommend a newbie to install Gentoo ?

Yeah the problem is that I understood the first time it was explained, no need to keep circling it over without answering the actual question I was asking about… what you quoted from my comment was just me clarifying what I was asking about, not clarifying my (lack of) knowledge about firewalls.

Thank you for the actual answer!

I do have occasional need to download random programs from random websites because of my hobbies and profession, the first case being Material Maker from itch.io - that one is clearly safe with all those reviews and the public git, but it is a random program from the internet nevertheless, and the reason why I was asking about the placing of programs that I download manually.

Yeah but it seems like some people (not you) take it personal geez… Of course a “casual” will mix firewall with anti-virus, like…? I am literally saying I don’t know shit.

Thank you for actually explaining things in a helpful and chill manner without getting so stuck about one word I use wrong while still being an understandable question.

Thank you, I just wish people weren’t so critical about how I word my questions when it’s still clear what the core question is anyway, man it’s like being a casual is not welcome or something x_x

Some people are really welcoming and some others are so… unnecessarily strict? Condescending? Harsh?

I’m aware of the guidelines to follow to not download viruses, I was just asking if there’s another line of defense like Windows Defender, I see now there isn’t, thank you. The only things I download online are things I can’t find in that store, things made by individuals and individually published… like Material Maker for example.

and I’m telling you I didn’t mean just firewall… I wasn’t trying to be accurate or right, I was just asking a broad general question with a term that would get other people understand what it is that I want to know, not that I know exactly what a firewall does or does not do…

You understood what the question was about, did you not? That was my whole goal

which hidden button? O:
