If you have installed Linux on a Microsoft Surface Pro, what was your experience?

    I set up a 6 as well, and it works great except for the camera. Looks like it's a piece of hardware with a specific driver needed. There's an open source project to support this, but it's not often updated, from what I can tell.

  • A cool guide to sandwiches in the United States.

    Here's a restaurant in Virginia that specializes in that...

    I also mention in another comment that this is likely based on a list by the Food Network.

  • A cool guide to sandwiches in the United States.
  • JCSpark JCSpark 3mo ago 83%

    Looks like this was based off a list of 50 sandwiches made popular by the Food Network and Zagat magazine.

    https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/packages/sandwich-central/50-states-50-sandwiches

    Specifically Cam's Ham in Virgina advertises the Ham and Mayo sandwich.

    http://www.thecamsham.com/

    Are these "state sandwiches"? Probably not. Judging by the comments, you're all rather passionate about your sandwiches and what they represent. I've even received reports on this post saying it's false information. Perhaps we need to consider the source of this information and take it with a grain of salt.

    Thank you all for remaining civil, and acknowledging the existing of sandwich alternatives such as hot dogs, tacos, and quesadillas.

    While I typically try to avoid divisive comments in these light-hearted communities, this is a fairly informative one, especially in the context of etymology.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilah

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allah#Etymology

    We should also not be condoning scoffing at someone based on their understanding. Perhaps these could be opportunities to educate people that are unfamiliar with the differences.

  • R/Edmonton, let’s do better
  • JCSpark JCSpark 4mo ago 100%

    Thank you. I appreciate the kind words.

    The bot brings in content from R, but it's been set up to do so for a specific reason. In order to attract new users and subscribers, new content has to be posted. Kind of a chicken/egg scenario.

    The bot pulls from the Hot category of r/Edmonton, allowing it to at least make use of preliminary user filtering from R. Without that, it would be pulling from New, providing much lower qualities of content.

    If you have any recommendations or suggestions, throw 'em at me! I'm all ears (or eyes, in this case)

  • Linux clipboard app which has functionality to paste multiple things after copying them in one go.
  • JCSpark JCSpark 1y ago 100%

    I use Diodon. I've set it up so that copy is CTRL+C, Paste is still CTRL+V, but what I call "Super Paste" is SUPER+V, showing a list of the last 20 items that were copied, including images.

    Great utility, especially paired with FlameShot.

    The only thing is that the Super Paste always pastes unformatted. Not a big deal, but something to consider.

    This is a bit weird. I was just listening to Infinity 2 today (great book. Totally recommend), and there's a section where the characters use Benford's Law to prove reality. I then had to look it up myself.

    Just a super weird coincidence...unless Lemmy is listening to me...

    Linux Mint 21.2. it's a solid OS and supports all the games I like to play. I started and ran a business on it as well, so I have no neee for windows anymore besides proprietary software and hardware. I just dual boot in those cases.
