I was hospitalized for a seizure recently and the nurse ended up going and grabbing me a little silicon bubble fidget thing because I just couldn’t stop messing with shit.

Edit: exact phrasing was “let me go grab you something to play with”

The living room PC is an old Dell that came with windows 7 and was left behind in an apartment when everybody moved out. It also runs Mint.

Millions? One is reminded of the pyramid scheme “problem” where it basically ends up as everybody can’t actually be a salesman if the business is actually going to be viable. Right? Like who are you selling to if everyone else is in on it too?

Why does it have speakers? I mean maybe if it’s really quiet otherwise it might be helpful for it to beep occasionally because tripping hazards and whatnot, but why does it need to be able to speak?

Think he’ll try to use a llm as his lawyer?

I feel like everybody at least has a Debian based distro they like unless they’re going out of their way to be an arch tryhard, even if it’s not their #1 overall.

My answer to things like this is “why would I want to do something like that?”.

Once again reminded of the amount of shit I get for not running windows and therefore not being able to play specific games. It’s ok, I get to give my friends shit when their computers have trouble booting.

Well to that end chromium is still around and I’m sure there’s deshittified builds of that floating around too but it is going to quickly become harder to find not shitty browsers the way things are going over at Mozilla.

They’re still on my shit list for broadcasting my GPS location to my contact list which lead to stalking and violence. Wouldn’t trust them with anything even vaguely considered personal information.

Was chilling with some friends of friends the other week and operating systems came up and one guy said he ran Ubuntu (I’m on KDE Neon) so we started chatting about that and a guy in the back seat said “Hey, aren’t you guys supposed to be fighting?”.

Somebody asked where they could find me on social media the other day and my response was “strange places using fake names”. Eventually turned into me trying to pitch the fediverse but it kinda landed in much the way birds don’t.

See and my friends give me shit for running KDE, soon they’ll have to click past a Viagra ad to do so.

If you haven’t done one yet you’ll never be more proud of yourself than replacing your own phone screen.

I try not to advocate for the deaths of my countrymen, the fact they don’t really share that same sentiment makes it rather difficult, but I like to think there’s a solution to our current ideological predicament that minimizes blood spilled.

Maybe maybe not, but you know racists, they’re just as happy killing a Latino born here and lying about it afterwards.

Man, people have been feeling real patriotic about killing their fellow Americans lately, though I’m sure Florida is hoping the death toll has a particular skin tone.

Oh hey it’s that joke I made earlier. Fucking wonderful.

For what it’s worth I’m a guy with a ponytail and I had a dudebro at a bar in Nebraska threaten to kill me because he thought that meant I was gay, so I suppose the saving grace is we’re not facing off against intellectuals on this front.

Honestly that one seems like a low bar for us to only be fucking dealing with in 2024.
