Markor - markdown notes that just works

Organic Maps - someone found a way to make open source maps not terrible, and it isn’t.

K9…derbird - mine still says K-9 even though it updated, good mail client.

OSS Weather - tells you the weather, and literally nothing else. Perfection.

…I don’t want any of this

I would’ve taken any comic. I’m easy.

I hope all of these social parasites get Luigi’d, and anyone who doesn’t is enjoying Stockholm syndrome.

Not particularly, no, I’m just the type to not step on the rotting plank on the bridge. I’d rather step over it.

I’ve had zero issues with Gigabyte and ASRock. I have an Asrock board in now and I used a Gigabyte in my last system. Stable and fine.

EVGA, I dunno. I don’t buy Nvidia or need the pedigree, I’m a Linux user who sticks to Ryzen CPUs and AMD, but I hear they’re top shelf quality from others.

Or we could all be informed consumers and… research products before we buy them to avoid these kinds of issues.

I’d never buy an Asus product. I hear they’re a nightmare when it comes to customer service, so in avoiding them, I avoid that problem.

You’re right, but wrong about the robot. I’d rather kill myself than subject myself to Gen Alpha “care” if that’s the form it takes.

I’d kick it over every now and again for fun to make a human get paid to pick it up.

I cancelled it the second I found out how easy it was to get it for free.

I still buy FLAC releases individually from artists I like, I just use Shittify for discovery. Fuck 'em.

That’s kinda on the list of things that aren’t my problem.

I hate to be that blunt, but seriously. It’s 2024. If you want fairness, you’re making it yourself. We’re in the cyberpunk dystopia. Learn Linux or, send Microsoft a few disapproving letters and hope.

If Windows is a part of your job, at least write off any expense on your taxes so you don’t pay for the pain.

Is it right? No. Everyone should have fair and equal software that is as useful as my tinkering makes mine, but life ain’t fair.

Cope. I hope you enjoy the 20 long years I’ll own it, and the ten more I’ll put on top of it for the highschooler who buys it.

I bet this guy has a-

Exhaust on my Civic? Sure do. Love. It. It’s for pedestrian safety. They can hear me coming.

Consider each distro like a house of kung-fu.

We are all hitting dummies, we are all practicing falls, drops, and stances, but we have different names, cultures, methods and ideas of getting those same goals done.

So what’s the benefit of having programs each installed in separate locations that are wildly different?

Installing an Appimage or flatpak almost entirely leaves that program inside your Home folder, meaning, if you were to reinstall your base system, even a different distro… within reason, those apps would still continue to function, all of their libraries and connections made within a folder that didn’t change.

Linux is about aversion to risk. On Windows, you’d backup and restore your entire system. Linux brings into question what you consider “your system”. Some distributions can be entirely rebuilt from the ground up via a text file’s instructions and nothing else.

My main desktop can be back up and running from a complete SSD failure in 20 minutes, a combination of backups and a saved Archlinux installation config for that system.

It’s the backend for web3 scams.

All of memecoin shittery happens on telegram.

ok

They signed up for Discord Nitro, the bar is kinda low.

Oh, I am, good call.

Unpossible!

That’s if you’re still in the camp that climate change isn’t politically impossible.

at least at this point

If I were more positive about the situation, I’d agree entirely, but… I don’t think we’re gonna make it, man.

Look for YouTube webuis on docker.

Punchflat can dump YouTube channels on schedules in a way that Plex and Jellyfin can digest them as shows and put them up like any other show. You can auto-delete old episodes as they get old to keep your data low, or simply roll one or two month’s of your subscriptions and barely keep anything.

Simpler and more like a gun you aim at urls and download them. More hands-on… Pinchflat is the only one I know that integrates with Plex and Jellyfin.

I suspect common responses and prepare for them.

The “canned answer”.

It’s no t420, but… it’ll do. sigh I guess.

Making any moonshine up in the Appalachians there, Grandpa?
