My gaming PC broke the day I moved into my university dorm, and I didn't get another one until like 4 years later.

The weirdest part was I kept thinking 3-year-old games were "new."

My friend would talk about a game and I'd be like "wow yeah that's the new one right?" and they'd say "it's two years old now there's a sequel"

Just checked out Quillnote, they've archived the repository as it's inactive. Quillpad looks to be the main fork. I'll check it out, thanks for sharing

Pop_OS! help: system frequently freezes when updating (self.pop_os)

Whenever I update a package or the system via the Pop! Shop, or downloading a game or updates from Steam, my desktop constantly freezes and hangs. It works perfectly fine otherwise.

I was wondering whether this was common behaviour. It's a bit frustrating because it means I have to pick my moments to update to be when I can go do something else for a while and come back.

If I'm on a Discord call and am doing an update or downloading a game on steam, the freezes mean that my friends can't hear me and I can't hear them.

I've tried Googling it but haven't found anyone with this specific issue yet.

I run a medium-power gaming desktop rig.

Any advice on how to fix or improve this?

Update:

Here are my hardware specs. Sorry for not including them earlier; I was at work when I posted this.

What is your least favourite acronym? (self.asklemmy)
 

Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn't translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.

Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.

Urban skating help needed - best ways to stop? (self.skateboarding)
 

Hi, I recently moved apartment and started skateboarding to work. I have a nickel board, so more for cruising than tricks.

My question is: what's the best way to slow down and stop on sidewalks?

I've watched several YouTube videos about different techniques for slowing down and stopping, but they tended to assume an environment with more room and smooth ground. Where I ride, it's a sidewalk with cracks and leaves and changing terrain. It is also somewhat hilly so I really need a way to slow down on sustained (not steep though) downhills.

One of the best techniques I found was called pumping, basically the opposite of pushing. This works well on any terrain and on skinny sidewalks. However, it's really hard on my ankles, and I actually made my right ankle swollen. So I figured I need a better way.

I don't particularly want to use techniques that scrape my shoes. And I'm not sure powerslides are the best idea on the uneven terrain.

Surely there's something better than just dismounting? Do I have to ride on the road to do powerslides?

I would greatly appreciate any and all advice!! I'm quite new to this so anything is helpful
