Weird graphical bugs where my mouse cursor or strange graphics get rendered in the top corner of the display, and hangs and crashes that seem like a firefox isssue. The graphical bugs seem like they may also be a firefox thing, I can’t tell.

My install on framework feels like the most unstable fedora has ever been for me for some reason and I really don’t know why. Maybe customizations I’ve made are the issue? Not sure. My setup is relatively vanilla I think

https://peertube.wtf/w/gomSHP9amwzpxf2QGmkzAF this is the graphical artifact I’m getting periodically. Though recently once it appeared to be a piece of an image, maybe one I had open im my browser or something

This is the weird double cursor thing, the second cursor in the top left corner changes with which cursor is showing.

I just closed a tab a couple minutes that may have been the cause of the issues that felt like a memory leak and resulted in stuff (mostly firefox but not always) crashing, we’ll see if it resolves it

Beautiful ☺️ dandelions are one of my absolute favorites

Oh… I’d thought they’d already disabled x11, maybe I can give that a try and see if x org fixes the issues I’ve been having, that way I’d at least know what’s causing some of my problems

Just remember, people will be more open to trying the stuff you’re into if you’re compassionate about the things they’re frustrated with!

Weeping willows are 1000% my favorite in person, but really like how the shading turned out in bot left

Droopy trees are the best

Happy little trees!! 🥰

They look beautiful! I think bottom left is my favorite

I think this is my favorite of everything I’ve seen of yours, gorgeous work

Yeah as much as I don’t love proton as a company this feels wildly misleading…

Can you shop at BJs without a membership…?

Its a wholesale club, like sams and Costco. But yes, you can get a membership, I think that’s the default/standard way of shopping there, shopping without a membership I think would be an exception to the norm

Is there like an option to pay an added fee on top of whatever you’re buying to be able to shop without membership? If so, how much is it?

I think it’s unfair to say that’s the point of the rule on a foss project’s discussion forum

Political discourse online gets really fucking toxic really quickly 😅 often driven by entirely legitimate anger and hurt over the state of the world, but we can’t just pretend it’s all an evil conspiracy by big Ubuntu to silence us.

Folks on the internet consistently demonstrate through behaviour why “no politics” is almost always a rule anywhere where folks might perceive it to be off topic, whether one thinks it’s the correct ruling or not (it’s entirely valid to feel it should be allowed even though it brings out the worst in people, though I’m sure that would put incredible strain on moderators given the internet baseline of interpersonal compassion)

And the places online where folks do discuss it? Can quickly get extremely unpleasant, or develop an inescapable undercurrent of hostility that starts to permeate all other interactions on the platform.

Personally I think actually productive political conversation is almost always emotionally laborious, and it’s important to be able to step away from the political aspects of things and catch your breath, even though everything is political. But everything being political doesn’t mean it’s healthy for every conversation to be political, that’s a recipe for burnout and people acting like their worst selves, which is counter productive to pretty much any meaningful political goal.

Almost all companies do unfortunately, Aldi is a somewhat rare exception

You can look up what companies do or don’t, and which parties they support with the Goods Unite Us app or website, it’s handy :)

There was a comm here on lemmy where people posted screenshots of the apps overview for various companies, which was neat, but I haven’t seen any posts from it for a while

Thank you for sharing, that’s super helpful!

Aldi seem almost always cheaper or the same price compared to BJ’s, as everything at Aldi with a small number of exceptions is store brand. Even buying in smaller quantities many things are cheaper at Aldi, by at least a little bit.

The exceptions I saw were things like rice since you can buy store brand jasmine at BJs in a huge 25 lb bag, which if I remember is a good deal compared to Aldi (obs ignoring membership cause you can’t really factor that in). Basmatti was even steeper of a deal I think, since Aldi sells less basmatti and so only sells a smaller bag and for a bit more money. And I do remember dry black beans being cheaper but I believe that was even cheaper at Walmart. That might also be true for canned coconut milk which I think was cheaper at BJs, but it might be a bit cheaper still at Walmart, I don’t recall.

Milk has weirdly been way cheaper for me at target in my area, than basically anywhere else, which feels very strange, but it’s close to me and I’m usually there to pick up perscriptions anyway so it’s not too inconvenient to get only milk there.

It’s been a bit since I did price comparisons though, and my memory is exceptionally bad 😅. I almost always shop at Aldi so I don’t compare them ongoing, I just went through the process of checking a bunch of things recently.

Shopping at Aldi I would generally expect you to save a bit of money vs BJ’s unless you’re buying stuff you can buy at BJs in much larger volume.

Plus Aldi doesn’t make political campaign donations, and as such isn’t using my money to purchase my political institutions away from me, which I very much appreciate

Yeah I’ve been price comparing by unit volume between aldi and BJs cause my dad put me on his BJs membership-

Almost nothing is cheaper at BJs. Rice is. A whole bundle of coconut milk is cheaper.

But like… Unless you’re already buying brand names it’s frankly a bad deal 😅 and even then I’m curious how much better than Walmart it might actually be

LMAO, I’m so glad you had so you could fill me in

Have a good one! 😊

OSM is just pronounced open street map or as an acronym- O.S.M.

The tilde isn’t from OSM, it’s from OsmAnd (the navigation app), and I thing it’s used to communicate whether you’re running the version from f-droid, or the play store version? I agree that’s confusing and makes for an awkward name though

Ahhh, okay, I understand what you meant now.

Thank you for clarifying :)

Also I swear to god, you ask a single question because you don’t follow what someone meant, and everyone decides the person you’re asking is doing wrong somehow and starts downvoting them. We really gotta figure our shit out

Thank you!!

Just to clarify, OSM is the acronym for Open Street Map, which is just the map/database

OsmAND, comaps, and organicmaps are all apps/clients that use OSM as their source of map data, and add gps navigation functionality

Comaps was forked recently cause there were some issues with organic maps being run in kind of a crummy way that wasn’t in line with the community, if I understand right. But I’m sure someone more knowledgeable could elaborate better

I dunno if this clarification was needed or helpful but I figured I’d add it in case it’s of help :)

I like the organic maps UI, and I have liked the OsmAND functionality, but I’m still working on transitioning away from google maps so I have limited perspective. I do know there’s an app that wraps the google maps website so you can use it without google servicesor whatever and potentially less risk of tracking, and that may be of use depending on your needs!

Just went and looked it up and they actually are lmao, I’d have had absolutely no clue

I’m not sure I follow- has Ubuntu had issues with their stance on diversity before? If I understand right this forum was only recently made official and they hadn’t carefully enough reviewed the pre-existing rules
