I do love how they just kind of like picked up Linux and dragged it into mainstream gaming lol. Hopefully they’re doing the same thing to Wayland now.

That’s my system, I just have topgrade
aliased to update
lol
If they both decide to step down around the same time, that’s going to be wild few years.
I have a feeling it might go the other way, IE when he retires or whatever, everyone’s going to want to be the “next Linus” and we’ll end up with tons of different forks of kernels all following their own philosophy of what they think Linux should be.
I’ve never seen a Bush miss an opportunity to be on the wrong side of history.
Yeah I was gonna say, I’m a night owl and I love it because it’s the only time of the day when people aren’t bothering me with nonsense lol. They’d better not all go nocturnal!
Yeah, once in a while I get the idea that I should be using a ‘fancier’ text editor and go off and try something else, but I always end up back using Kate again. It does just what I need and doesn’t get in the way, which is pretty ideal for me.
Even if his vision for the future worked perfectly (which it won’t) and wasn’t abused (which it will be, rampantly and immediately), it’s still a complete dystopian nightmare lol
This has uncovered my shameful Linux confession lol - I don’t understand Docker at all. I think I’m reasonably okay with Linux stuff, I can put an Arch install together without using the archinstall script, I got NixOS up and running without too much trouble etc. but I just can’t get my head around how Docker is supposed to work for some reason.
My favourite recent one is Yunohost, which makes it super easy to spin up a little self-hosted server with a bunch of apps. I’ve been having good fun with that and a spare Raspberry Pi lately.
I get blocked from Google and reddit on Mullvad, but I see that as a Google and reddit problem, not a Mullvad problem lol.
In the UK a few years back, Boris Johnson refused to show up to a debate on climate change, so Channel 4 replaced him with a slowly melting block of ice.
It annoyed him so much he tried to privatise the entire TV station lol.
I was hoping to sneak that in, get people balling on one conspiracy theory to get in on another one lol
As a non-American, sometimes you open your phone and there’s a meme with no context about a candidate being shot in the ear, or people eating cats, or transgender aliens or babies being aborted after they’re born or the president trying to buy Greenland and you just kind of go “Oh, America” and go about your day lol.
I once tried to get a conspiracy theory going that Flat Earth was a fake conspiracy started by the government to cover up the real conspiracy - that the moon is flat. That’s why we only ever see one side of it and why we were able to land on it. It didn’t take lol.
I ended up just making an alias for s=kitten ssh
and then added my desktop to .ssh/config
so now typing s desktop
does the trick!
Yeah every once in a while I get restless and start thinking I should learn how to use Mutt or something, but I always end up going back to Thunderbird/Betterbird lol
I had the opposite for some reason! Thunderbird started giving lots of weird errors, especially with Gmail, but Betterbird worked fine so I just ended up switching over.
I’ve been using Filen, seems to work pretty well, it’s got a Linux version of the desktop sync client (comes as an AppImage IIRC) and I dunno if they’re still doing it but they used to have a good price on lifetime plans that were ~100GB that you could stack, so I got a good amount of storage without having to pay a monthly fee.
I’d be fine with switching over to Valve’s crazy high-speed frog version of Wayland if it came down to it lol
