Linux@lemmy.ml•Tell one thing that you miss after switching from another OS to Linux.
8·1 year agoI’ve been using Flameshot, and it’s been awesome for just this. Tons of annotations, and very easy to copy or save screenshots.

Linux@lemmy.ml•If you have installed Linux on a Microsoft Surface Pro, what was your experience?
3·1 year agoI 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.

Cool Guides@lemmy.ca•A cool guide to sandwiches in the United States.English
2·1 year agoOk, going through that source, I can see how some of that must be an AI hallucination. “Fluffernutter” can’t actually be a thing, can it?

1·1 year agoI’m not at all disagreeing that Cam’s Ham isn’t serving Country Ham. I was just hoping to provide a little context to the graphic using the cited sources and some additional information.
It’s a graphic that someone’s probably put a fair bit of effort into, not spam. This is spam:

2·1 year agoHere’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.

Cool Guides@lemmy.ca•A cool guide to sandwiches in the United States.English
61·1 year agoLooks 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.
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.

Cool Guides@lemmy.ca•A cool guide to the names of the different types of head coverings Muslim women wearEnglish
51·1 year agoWhile 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.
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)
I had reached out to the r/Edmonton mods, and they were adamant about not moving to Lemmy.

I’ve used Niagara for probably 5 years now. Quick, light, and highly customizable. Yes, there’s a paid option, and I like to support the devs.
