Alright. Let's go back into action. Sorry about the two days of not having any questions. My weekend has been difficult and I didn't knew how much time off things like this I needed.
Do you know how to cook? If so, what do you enjoy cooking?
New question
Do you know how to cook? If so, what do you enjoy cooking?
I learnt how to cook recently and I only know how to cook fried eggs and omelette. I personally want to learn more, but I will do that over time. For the moment, I still to learn how to flip things easily while they're on top of the fire and timing of when things are done.
As for what I enjoy cooking, I enjoy doing omelettes more than fried eggs, but both are nice to cook IMO.

i don't know how to cook, but i've started to learn how to bake! i like to make cupcakes, but soon i'm gonna make cookies for christmas! 
Cooking is great, it allows you to eat basically anything instead of only buying prepared meals, it's also more healthy
I tend to cook most of the things I eat and sometimes try stuff that could end up on r/stupidfood but it's usually really good
Cooking for other people must be kind of hard though as you don't necessarily know what they'll like

I do not know but I will be forced to learn once I move out
I know how to cook some stuff and have some basic notions of cooking so I think I can manage to sustain myself. I also like doing it and experimenting with ingredients and spices. My brother and I are the ones that do the groceries for our family so we know how to find quality ingredients and good deals in a store.
In these cases I tend to play it safe with simple or mostly liked stuff xDKarmine wrote:

Looking to expand my arsenal of dishes in the near future
Even though im doing an apprenticeship as cooking, im not really a perfect cook. It takes time for me to cook properly and without help. Other than that, i like cooking basic stuff like cooking spaghetti, doing sauce, making omelets, waffles etc…
I was forced to learn how to cook from schools I went to, and nowadays I just cook basic stuff like pasta or korean/japanese curry because cooking is a pain and pasta and curry are tasty and can literally be made by opening the fridge and using random vegetables. If I ever get the motivation I really want to learn korean cooking.
Ye, I know a few recipes but I just can't be bothered to make them
Yes, but only the easy food to cook, like canned food or frozens.

New question
What phone do you have? What do you look for in a phone when you buy a new one?
Suggested by eblf2013, somewhat modified by me, though.
I currently have an OnePlus Nord CE 2 (rolls off the tongue). I don't like personally and I want to switch it with a Pixel phone. What I look for in a phone nowadays is if I can easily flash it with another ROM or the default ROM to not super bloated with apps. Sadly, so far, I haven't had much luck with that besides with the Pixel phones. I also look to see if it has an audio jack. Sadly, the trend is to remove them. I can survive without both of those though. I don't really use my phone or anything super serious like gaming. I need it more to watch YouTube, listen music, go on Discord and make calls/messages.
i don't have a phone, but i do have a samsung tablet! idk which model tho
also, ik i've sent this in osu! dms, but here's my question suggestion!:

what's your favorite rock band, country band, etc, and what's your favorite genre from them?
realme 6
I have a OnePlus 5T and when I change I'm gonna get the simplest thing I can and probably install LineageOS instead of using Google's spyware
Right now the only apps I use aside from phone/texts are browser, maps, discord and bank app (because no choice really)

I have no phone right now.
When looking for a new phone I look for a good camera/mic quality, long battery life and most importantly, affordability. I'd need to do some research for good unexpensive models.

samsung a32. cheap but reliable atleast and a mega upgrade from my last phone.
honestly if this generation isnt so dependent on internet then i would probably get a flip phone since i only play with my phone during my free time. also i find it really distracting during lectures and such. found myself constantly scrolling social media when i really shouldn't. anyways i can do other shits with my laptop.

iphone 11, never really cared for getting the newest or the best. If it works it works lol
Oppo A54. It's okay tier, but a little disappointing. At least the manufacturer bloat is quite low
iphone XR, been using it for a while now and it still works.
Just any phone that has a nice screen, can run decently and maybe some games too and has good battery, dont really care about the rest like camera.

Poco 4x pro 5g. I am mostly looking for a unlocked bootloader, so I could install better custom roms. As for getting a new phone, I honestly don't need a new one. It does everything I want it to. (Run idle games, SNS and calling)
Currently havin an iPhone 11 pro. My mother got it for a cheap price and because my previous phone (which was a xiaomi 😭😭) was slow af, my mother gave it to me.
Currently, I don’t really care about getting a new phone because it has everything I really need on a phone. I might buy a new one when my phone gets slow or doesn’t get the latest security updates anymore.

I don't have a specific genre I prefer over others but it's mostly edm and fast songs.

I only really listen to the songs i'm exposed too, I have too many other hobbies i'm juggling to really invest myself into music
Hydreigon wrote:

many subgenres of metal, J-pop specifically doujin music, classical music
I've been getting into Orchestral.
well my fav genre is like acid jazz and lately i've been to j-pop lol but yeah i also like breakcore and ambient
As of 2023 I'd say JPOP
Can't say because I don't listen to music much. I feel like I've flip flopped around different genres a lot and never really got too deep into any of them, but the one staple has been video game osts, so I guess that's my favourite genre. As for favourite artist/band, idk. If you'd asked me a few years ago I'd have said Lamp, a Japanese pop band (not too sure how to exactly pinpoint their genre), but nowadays I don't really have one.
Interestingly, my interest in music cratered as my interest in osu increased, so I'm guessing me playing osu replaced my desire to explore music somehow.

it changes overtime but currently its j-punk (aka j-rock with less twinkly guitar and more power chords). dont wanna list much since its not music forum but ELLEGARDEN (and honestly anything Takeshi Hosomi makes) takes the cake.

New question
What web browser do you use and why?
I know the question is somewhat technical, but I'm curious, to be honest to know.
I personally use Mozilla Firefox. While Mozilla isn't exactly the most private company out there (there are examples of them going against their core messaging), they provide a viable, private alternative to Chromium based browsers. In my experience, everything that I do online works without problems and the extension support is more than enough for what I need personally. It doesn't have too much unnecessary things put in (like a calendar, VPN, RSS feader, mail client) and, finally, Firefox came pre-installed with my OS, EndeavourOS. With a few simple tweaks, I managed to create a pretty good and private browsing experiencing without really needing to install anything special.

Librewolf, it's Firefox with more security and privacy features out of the box
I don't like sites that track me so they can sell my data and try to display ads I block anyway
It takes less than 10 minutes to set it up and then runs perfectly with basically no downsides

I use Firefox both on phone and computer
I use chrome on my android phone because every other app is from Google itself (to be in the ecosystem I guess), on my PC or Laptop I use Microsoft Edge. On my Personal PC I use opera GX because of its features and visual design.
I just use it cause my friends recommend it to me back then and that they say its alright.Winnyace wrote:

It is dead, yes. I have never heard of it. While I was little, I mostly used Chromium based browsers, mostly Google Chrome. Over the years, as I've went deeper and I began learning more about computers and the internet and how they're built, I've moved to more privacy orientated options.Karmine wrote:

New question
What's your true view (even if you haven't tried it) of Linux and its users?
I'm biased here and this is more to see what others from the outside think when they hear Linux. As a result, I'm not going to say anything and just let you all say your actual opinion on it, coming from a place of actually trialing it or seeing memes online. I would appreciate if the replies were somewhat serious.
i heard from a friend that linux is pretty good
so imma assume it is
idk man i use mac os/windows (laptop)
so imma assume it is
idk man i use mac os/windows (laptop)
Will say again: i've used linux for a couple years, not as a main driver, but I used it every time for school related stuff and things, and then, i'm studying computer science, so I had to learn how to set up linux servers with only the command line, but that was way later
from my point of view, I didn't really encounter any situation where I enjoyed linux more than windows, while it was still doable, and me that didn't have the biggest knowledge of tech at the time could more ore less use linux for the basic stuff, I did run into more problems than with windows, problems that were harder to google and implement solutions
now, a lot of the applications I enjoy using, like all adoble products or sony vegas just doesn't run on linux, not only that, but I do like enjoying playing old games and stuff that barely runs in windows, and they really aren't any easier to run on linux
now, for windows advantages, yeah, it's free but who cares, everyone has cracked windows anyways. Linux has better privacy as it literally isn't owned by microsoft, however at a certain point I stop caring about privacy. I only really care about privacy when I can get the exact same experience or better, and I just dont find that giving up all the advantages of windows are worth so just that companies dont sell my data
I just don't really see any advantages to really using linux unless you're heavy into customization, you're a software developer or you're super hardcore about privacy

I really like Linux because it provide a free alternative OS which can do the work (don't forget you pay 150 f*cking bucks for a OS). I really feel like Windows is getting worse as corpos are getting more and more greedy. Now on Windows 11 you have advertisements, telemetry, bloatware and spyware, to get in the final a mediocre OS.
Linux doesn't have ads and all of that shit, and it's free. You can do whatever you want, including doing shit with your OS without anything blocking you. It's way more customizable, and you have the choice to use whatever you want, you can uninstall everything, and you can change the font of your OS (hot take: for me this is a killer feature). And it's also reliable. Of course you may encounter some bugs, but the Linux system is more reliable than Microsoft's crap in reality. If you don't know, the large majority of servers are running Linux. And I'm happy that Linux is rising and that Windows is falling, and glad too see that open source is still here. It has to. Linux is getting better and better, and more accessible over timewhile Windows is getting worse
And about the Linux users, I can understand it may be scary at first, because there isn't much users than the rest, and having to use the command line isn't something you would like to do, and of course you have your bunch of elitist users (I'm looking at the people who always says "I use Arch btw"). Yes Linux may take more time to set up to be functional but it can be very reliable, way more than any other operating system, but at the end, the normal person can use Linux.

I've used many different Linux distros for different reasons and I can say that most are garbage
Ubuntu which is the most popular is also probably the worst, it has all the downsides of Windows aside from cost (nobody actually pays Windows but let's pretend) and none of the upside (like running games and a lot of software)
If you just need basic stuff (music, video, email, browser) and don't plan on working with specific software or playing games Debian is probably the best you can get (with the interface of your choice, unless it's Gnome, fuck that)
Other distros are either bloated with stuff you'll never use or made for specific uses (like Kali/Parrot), in which case they may actually be good
Linux users are just annoying, they keep trying to convince everyone to use their OS and behave like a sect
They also consume high amounts of copium whenever someone points out the many flaws of Linux, or the fact that Windows is better for 99% of people

Weeeell I am of those that doesn't like electronic waste so I'd say linux can give a new life to an ooooold device... if most people got used to it and was more intuitive to use for people that know nothing about PCs.
i dont care about pc OS’s, just sticking with windows cuz if it works it works. so no opinion, never gonna use it
As a non computer person I don't really care that much. Never made a pc by myself, I've only ever used laptops, and they all come with windows preinstalled, and I'm too lazy to look into changing my os
guys its working hes starting to question hes existence as a linux user
I keep Linux mint in my flashdrive and I sometimes occasionally use it. I also use it for emergency situation when I fucked Windows up
community could be a lot friendlier for beginners, same with the oses
i personally want it to wack windows out
just look at chromebooks and android as an example on how it got the public on linux (though android is far different)
