i'd like to have a graphic design community on here

Lol I was thinking this exact thing

Less than 100 years ago

they dont' surprise me anymore

i didn't even know they sold it

a pneumatic table is definitely one of my must-haves this year.. just so darn expensive

now that i think about it, this would be handy for remote support techs walking a user on-site on what to do..

"you see the 3rd switch from the top that has the cisco logo? i'll need you to power cycle it"

2 hours later

"oh i found it"

vs.

"you see the girl with the blue hair? unplug the box her hair's connected to"

can't speak for others, but i'm mostly the quiet/introverted/lurker type..

sometimes i just feel like i have nothing valuable to add to the conversation

i will make an active effort to engage more tho

their good devs and engineers have left

thanks. i have a laptop i deliberately installed debian on.. but that's about it lol

i'll take you up on the support suggestion too.. i recently had to figure out why a unix server went down at work. luckily we had a set of scripts and commands archived from the manager that supported it before he left. all i did was just run them with a little bit of logic and context applied, but it forced me to poke around a bit and seeing what each command did. i was careful enough not to break anything but i found it quite interesting

i feel like i'm not actually against ads. i'm against the abuse of ads, that take away from the user experience..

i won't mind seeing an ad if it doesnt get in the way of what i need to do on the pc. i don't need an ad popping up when im trying to work on something, launch an application, download a file, etc. an ad in the corner, big enough for me to be aware of it, but obscure enough to not interrupt me will serve its purpose.

problem is, ad exposure is non-regulated and i can't believe how the constant ad spamming doesn't seem to phase a lot of people.

that being said.. what's a good website i can at least go to and learn some linux basics and progress to more advanced stuff? i'd at least want to check that out before i start bugging people..

i had the opportunity to take a class back in college but 18 yr old me couldn't handle a 7am class and know-it-alls in the back always interrupting the teacher and trying to show off in class..
