It's updated whenever your package manager puts up the new version. If you're using something like Ubuntu or Mint, then you're using apt as your package manager, which takes a while to update stuff because they like to test it for a while first.

Not everyone feels like having a mascot fits with their branding

That voice was really difficult to listen to. And then talking about how Bill Gates shoves left wing media down our throats and uses msnbc as an example lol

Thanks, I see it now. The left-leaning sources are what I would consider more centre. Neo-liberal and left are quite different. Seems like it's taking an approach closer to mainstream American politics, where Democrats are called left, but the rest of the world wouldn't.

You should probably actually say which 6 sources you're using. If we just have to take your word for the fact that it's 2 left, right, and centre sources, I'm going to assume that we have different opinions on what those words mean, and that it is indeed skewed to one side or another.

Learning about Polish orthography for the first time is always exhilarating, isn't it?

Je suis un anglophone canadien, et moé chu un fan de l'accent québécois :)

If you absolutely must use MS Office, and don't want to use any of the alternatives like LibreOffice that use the exact same file types, why not just run MS Office with Bottles? If that's the only reason for a dual boot, you probably don't need to dual boot.

I tried Ubuntu Studio for a bit for audio work, but it was really slow for some reason. Even the terminal would take 12 seconds to open up. Couldn't find the problem so I switched to OpenSUSE Leap and now it's super responsive.

Unfortunately, it looks like Wwise refuses to install with Wine or Bottles, so I might not be able to use Linux for work.

You forgot to link to the actual website or steam page or anything. Just to other lemmy links. Update with that info and more people will likely check it out.

 

I'm hosting a networking event, and I managed to snag a free venue that fits all of us. Problem is, it's not a bar. No food or water provided.

My budget is honestly as close to nothing as I can get it, but I also want to provide something to people.

For water, my only idea is to get bottles od water. A water cooler would be nice, but those are expensive.

It'd be nice to have snacks too. I could just get bags of chips, maybe cookies, but I don't know how much I need to cover ~100 people. If anyone has ideas or experience, please let me know :)
