For me, remembering numbers; like ID numbers, part numbers, phone numbers, etc. When I worked as a parts guy at a shop, I would frequently be able to bring up the exact part that fits the customer’s machine assuming I had looked it up once or twice before. If it was something I hadn’t looked at in a while I’d still usually double check fitment, but I probably had a 99% accuracy on part numbers.

I hadn’t seen that video before, but it’s not quite what I’m looking for; it seems that video was made while they were still working on the project, and they were looking for a way to “get it out into the world”. Is there a sort of post-mortem analysis of what the project achieved / is still achieving now?

Windows 10 on my main (gaming) PC (honestly I would probably upgrade to 11 by now if I didn’t need to do a BIOS update), and Ubuntu on my computer in the living room. I would try a different distro, but honestly whenever I need a guide to do something on Linux they’re always written with Ubuntu and it’s default commands and packages in mind so it’s just easier to work with

If there is one I haven’t seen it; I think there’s naturally a bit more of a Linux crowd here though, maybe that’s why there’s less gaming content (yeah yeah “Linux can play games toooooo”)

It’s weird to me that so many people have a hard time figuring out Lemmy; honestly for the average user, the process is:

1. Join big instance
2. Browse and search from there

Searching for communities could use a bit of work to make it easier (for example, I shouldn’t have to have the full community link to search for one from a federated instance if nobody on my instance has subscribed; why aren’t community lists updated automatically?) but the basic experience is pretty easy to get into

When posting there’s usually a drop-down option for what language you are posting in

Canada here - tap water is just fine, I filter it at home since I prefer the taste but I’ve never been adverse to drinking it straight

It’s really not hard to sign up either; for how small the barrier to entry actually is, it’s made a huge difference in demographics
