I use Merkur shaver with Cremo cream. Here's my process:

turn faucet on until hot water running. Wet face. Apply cream. Shave. Rinse and dry

It literally isn't different from shaving with a cartridge except a better shave, more pleasant, and cheaper. OK, it probably takes 10 seconds extra to change the blade vs popping cartridge, but that's it

I shaved with an electric for a couple years, bad shaves and bad skin

what's the problem? Happy to help if I can

these days it's pretty easy to just pick one and go, but you can still run into issues, and for people new to linux it can be frustruating for sure. When I started using linux, I didn't even really know what a terminal was, so a lot of the stuff I would read on forums etc (it was a long time ago) I couldn't even put into practice. I once got insulted for asking a dumb question with both RTFM and PEBCAC but didn't even know I had been insulted. Just kept plugging away and eventually got it going. I think PCLinuxOS was the first distro I ran seriously as a "daily driver" and I think that stuck because the community on the forums was the friendliest

I assume you mean Debian for ideology, not Sid, unless you have strong feelings about breaking toys

but is that because of the community nature of Debian, or because default it's free software only? Guessing the former, since there are other options for the latter

is it that big because of the snaps? It used to be (well after it breached to 700M CD limit) ~1.5G and AFAIK doesn't include a lot more default software?

Sabayon linux. Like Gentoo but without the compiling. shit was always broken. Though the guy who made it had a good sense of humor and was very enthusiastic

Sidux/aptosid: great distro, absolutely worst community

Make community text only? (lemmy.world)

There's some sentiment to make this sub text only to leave c/bicycling as the image community. Since I can't figure out how to make a poll, I'll make two reply posts, one "yes", one "no". Upvote the one you prefer. Deadline 1800 EST July 4

Edit: the "no's" have it, not looking like it's going to be much of a problem though...

Philosophy on commuter bike (lemmy.world)
 

What's your philosophy on a commuter? Cheap beater? Superbike? Steel? Flat bar or drop? Fixie/SS or Geared? Panniers or backpack?
Obviously, a lot of this depends on situation: length of commute, weather, safety of bike parking, etc

For me, I used to have a longer (7 km) commute with a pretty steep climb (on the way home, topped out at 20% grade for a short stretch) so I got used to drop bar, Frankenbike drive train with road shifters, 1x up front, and MTB derailleur (which was much more frankenbike when I put it together, now you can get drivetrains that are designed for this). Then I moved, sold that bike and on my new commute got a Surly Straggler for what is now a 4km commute with only a little elevation change. It's honestly way too nice for its use case, but now I'm spoiled.
What I really wanted was a Cross Check with bar-end friction shifters, but one thing led to another

Community staying open, call for mods (lemmy.world)
 

There seems to be at least some enthusiasm to keeping the community open, and I guess with the increase in number of lemmy.world members, it makes some sense.

That said, I don't really have the time to mod if it gets any busier, so looking for others who would like to step in

Close community? (lemmy.world)

I started this early in the recent popularity of reddit alternatives, as I didn’t see any other cycling communities. I don’t really want (or have time) to be a mod, and it seems there are other more active cycling communities

I’ll give it a couple of days, but if there’s not strong sentiment to keep a separate community here on lemmy.world, I’ll close it down

edit: staying open, though we'll see if activity picks up
