I like coffee, Philly, Pittsburgh, Arabic language, anything on two wheels, music, linux, theology, cats, computers, pacifism, art, unity, equity, etymology, the power of words, and getting high off airplane glue. Will use Adobe Illustrator for food.

Who the fuck needs to “learn” Linux? it’s an operating system. You just push the damn buttons.
What’s this about bsky?
It’s a real dumb idea but I’ll be honest, I think all of us should have expected that when Chrome switched to an engine that doesn’t allow for ad blockers.
I’m with the rest of the commenters on other threads — I’ll just switch to PostmarketOS and make Linux work for me. Very little of what I do on a phone really requires “apps.”
no, no. we MUST create this sacrifice-person to lead us. this is our shot.
Neato. Always cool to see a new approach. Synapse/Matrix is excellent, but, running a federated Matrix server is an exercise in frustration. So many version forks, so many hard crashes. :(
I am a professional designer with two decades of experience and I gotta admit, you’re smoking crack if you think GIMP (the project that is almost entirely held back by its stupid name) is superior to Photoshop.
It might be able to get the job done for small tasks, but it is not a serious tool for serious people. I’m sorry. I’m as pro-FLOSS as anyone can get, and even I recognize that right now there’s just no competition in the design department. Affinity is Mac-only, and comes with its own problematic aspects.
Driving is honestly very stimulating for me. I have AuDHD and it is one of the few times I feel calm because I can actively engage all of my senses. Something about keeping an awareness in your head of what’s around you and your car really keeps me occupied.
Makes sense when even adults use phones as a means to escape even a moment of boredom. How many adults use their phones while driving? That’s one of the most mentally stimulating things I can think of, and people get BORED.
Meshtastic, baby!!
All my IT and InfoSec friends have called me alarmist for suggesting even the possibility of a GFW of America, but every day that passes, it looks more and more likely to happen, doesn’t it?
Start practicing circumvention techniques now, y’all, while it’s still legal and cheap to do so. Learn amateur radio. Learn Meshtastic. Learn all the different censorship-resistant VPN technology out there. Host your own websites or services for friends, family, or your community. It doesn’t make it impossible, but it does make it hard, and fascism is nothing if not lazy.

“Aur”? Says here in my notes something about “Pacman” but that can’t be right…
I guess, but you will lead a lonely life if you can’t find common struggle with people in different scenarios than our own. We can easily lose our soul with these endless purity tests — for some reason, Leftists, progressives, and liberals seem to be constantly on the lookout for the next Jesus Christ, who will just simply energize voters by consequence of, I dunno, magic or some shit.
Neil Young is still a working musician who needs to get his face and music in front of as wide and as general of an audience as possible — why wouldn’t they be where people are? That’s what makes this stand so important. Homie needs Facebook and Insta and still said no.
Well, it’s not like Ted Nugent is writing any new music. He probably doesn’t have anything better to do anyway.
Fiber optic cable is just glass or nylon, sealed with a thermoplastic. It really is one of the cheapest kinds of cables to make, maybe ever. It’s really not worth anything when anyone who needs to run fiber can just buy a brand new spool for the same price as a spool from four guys in a shitty pickup truck who can’t describe why they even had it to begin with.
I dunno who is even still stealing copper considering that a lot of yards are asking for proof of ownership before they accept it. Copper-nabbers are opportunistic, and won’t take the time to forge an original invoice.
Correct! And I appreciate the recommendation. I’m an XFCE4 man (sorry. It is just what I’ve been using for decades) and I think I could probably get that GNOME library running on that environment.
Can I post a potentially controversial opinion? I think that the ‘Game Bar’ feature that Win11 has now is actually kinda good. It has really come a long, long way since Windows Gaming for PC. I think that whenever I switch to Linux, I would probably seek out something similarly as elegant.
