fuck it man, with the state of desktop linux these days, just put your files on a seperate hard drive and go full hog. Even vanilla ass debian is ok as long as you go for Gnome or KDE.

have you thought about just going for starting to use databases?

EDIT : like Django + Mariadb feels like something approachable if you are already knee deep in excel power use, which is basically programming. there’s some new things to get the hang of, but once you do, it’s fairly approachable. It has mostly good documentation.

if you’re on LMDE you’re set forever.

IDK, some asshole recommended one of my elderly family members a chromebook, he can’t adapt to it, and lost the admin password. Windows 10 shoves shovelware and random updates on his computer confusing him anyway, do you really think LMDE is going to be that much harder to understand than having to explain to him where the fuck avast antivirus came from?

I just noticed the score , it’s not good for Patrick’s team

hey guys, this labour leader is not better. Let’s allow “Reform” to win so that they can do the same thing AND purge britain of all the brown people and gay people.

Alas I’m on an island out in the middle of nowhere.

It’s nice to hear from you again, and to be reminded of your living situation somewhere near Trailer Park Boys and Man in a Motel

YES! I don’t think he faked his death… but I would not at all be surprised if he did.

An Atari 2600 was $160 in 1979. Cartridges were $25-40. Adjust for inflation and that’s $738.56 for a console and $115-184 per cartridge.

Dunkey, is that you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvPkAYT6B1Q

This feels relevant, I recently did my first apt upgrade because I was a dumbass and should have done npm/npx upgrade.

So… The quick trial of a new API/SDK turned into a pant shitting wait to see if I broke my system.

It all worked out in the end

cd ~
nano .bash_aliases

At the end of the file

alias executeOrder="sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt auto remove -y"

Ctrl+X
Y
Enter.

source .bash_aliases

There. Now it’s executeOrder

Edit : .bash_alias(es?) should be in the home folder. Switch to it with cd ~

Good on you.

No, I actually have to thank you for mentioning Hyprland bring made by a fascist because that’s what I mean by fascist open source. I remembered there being some window manager or similar thing being made by a fascist and was unsure if niri was that or something adjacent.

Hence; I wish it well, unless it’s part of fascist open source.

I highlighted the part about paper WM because I dislike how gnomes pseudo space age design ls work, hence the negative reaction.

But I appreciate things existing in the Linux system I don’t enjoy because it makes the space more diverse and interesting and a breeding ground for new ideas.

Unless those ideas are fascism.

In 2025, Hansson published a blog post[30] expressing support for far-right British activist Tommy Robinson and the 2025 British anti-immigration protests. In response, some members of the Ruby on Rails community called for his removal from project governance.[31][32][33]

people like this, this guy invented Ruby on Rails and Omarchy (Arch based distro). They band together and act like assholes in the open source software space.

The project is inspired by PaperWM, a GNOME Shell extension that brings scrollable tiling to GNOME.

🤮

I wish them all the best , except if they’re part of fascist open source, in which case, they can get bent.

But then again, I have my KDE task manager so that it only shows tasks from the current screen on it, and even I sometimes find that disorientating.

It’s not about Nos-feratu, it’s about os-feratu

The problem is that the Ps6 is likely to have higher specs if it’s at a similar price point. I’ve heard that this box has similar specs to the Ps5 so it’s unlikely that Ps6 will have similar specs to this

how many electoral votes do they get per person, because I know it’s > 1.

Outside is where it’s at - indoor is a good workout but hard to call it rock climbing rather just a rough facsimile of it.

I mean yeah. I’ll 100% cop to being a faker, I did it because it was a more fun gym, and I enjoyed solving puzzles with my body.

Driving to the gym or crag is far more dangerous

I walked there.

Listen man, I did (indoor) bouldering. For fitness. Any time people were talking about doing that shit outside, I noped the fuck away.

Because of this :

On 7/29/17 a 300 lb rock landed on my leg from a height of 10 feet. Because the falling weight/force of the rock upon impact was over 3,000 lbs, I believe it had only an indirect, partial impact to my leg,

Fucking no. I’m not going to the outside where the holds might be wet, fall off, and cause me injury fucking up my training regimen.

I mean, I’m old and my back is fucked up, so I’m not doing it anyway, but I wasn’t back then neither.
