All the flavors together maybe. But not if you think of any specific one.

Maybe I’m getting who they are mixed up, because yes.

Why are they not being destroyed en masse anyway? They shouldn’t be able to say anything because they’re too busy pushing up daisies. When a people group is just evil we shouldn’t look for how they respond to certain demands we (as a planet, not necessarily our country) should focus on just preventing their ability to breathe. They’re useless and we’re better without them.

The sooner he’s put down the better the world will be.

Every time a rapist is sad or something bad happens to them, I smile. The worse the event, the happier I am. Death should be their only release from torture. I accept no less and grant no pity, no matter how bad it gets for them.

And it goes double for Trump.

This one, officer. Here’s the psycho.

I use that money to pay for YouTube. It used to reduce it to paying every other month, but I don’t get nearly as many as I used to. Now I barely get anything. I think don’t of mine about to expire actually, since it’s been so long since I’ve had enough to cover it (and it won’t do partial payment afaik)

Well there goes that good news. I hadn’t finished looking into it, it’s still in a tab I stashed here somewhere.

What kinda question is that? Seems pretty judgemental to me.

Some people are “the computer guy” for a BUNCH of people, and if your usual pocket arrangement allows them there are a bunch of tools you can use for different jobs.

It’s just a different kind of pocketknife at the end of the day. I don’t interact with nearly enough people to need one, but I can definitely see the possibilities.

This seems like a question that 90s people would ask. “What are you doing with your life that necessitates carrying a globally-connected supercomputer in your pocket?”

In different use cases I can see plenty of times where a bootable USB drive can mean you can use your own computer from any other machine. Which is super cool. It’s gonna be a much slower version of it, obviously(because of USB read/write, but pretty cool that you can carry a full copy of your system, settings, documents, and programs than can sync to/from your regular backups. Or another with copies of other boot level tools to have on hand. If you help a bunch of people with covering from microshit to Linux, then keeping a LiveISO on hand for them to try out and install seems like a good idea to keep around.

There’s just so many reasons why you would ask this. Personally I don’t, but if I did I would like to think I could ask the question.

If nothing else, it’s interesting to think about for sure. Now I kinda wanna imagine what kind of stuff is even possible to run like this that would be useful to me.

I only own one such at all, and I’ve only used it a very few times. Once to install my own OS, once to install a different one I leave at my brother’s house because his laptop is having issues and I go over there to watch movies with him, and once to install that same one (Mint in those cases, Pop for mine) on my parent’s computer.

If I find a good enough use case, I would start carrying at least one. But for now I just rewrite this one for whatever things I need at the time.

Want there a post I saw just the other day about Nvidia starting to make open source releases with one of the upcoming driver updates? I just saw it yesterday and didn’t even think I checked it out yet but it’s somewhere here on my “look at better later” lists here.

It would be fine then if that was true.

I remember those old UI elements. I tried it a couple years later (edgy eft) but I just toyed with it in VirtualBox. And my computer at the time wasn’t able to give a virtual machine a whole lot of oomph, so the experience was lackluster.

But it was a marvel to me to see what a UI really could be other than specifically Windows. I knew conceptually what an OS. I knew that DOS was one (even if it looked totally different), and that Windows was basically just a graphical version of a terminal at the end of the day. I knew Windows was just one example of an OS, but it was still the only reference point I had to what one looked like and how it worked. I never even saw a Mac computer in person til my first year in college when I started seeing MacBooks on campus.

So I knew of Linux, but if you remember 2004, it was such a primitive time for computer power and operating system design, and setup was much clunkier than the easy installers we have now.

Ubuntu was the first one I heard of that had an installer similar to Windows that didn’t need a tech manual or crash course in using the CLI to get running.

I am not a canonical fan or anything, but I didn’t know anything about so that back then, and was just giving it a whirl.

I didn’t give it a whole lot of time tho, as most of my computer use was for gaming and I didn’t have games for Linux, and proton wasn’t a thing yet. I had just heard of Steam. It wasn’t even a year old yet at the time. Not that any of that mattered since I was running in in a virtual machine anyway, so even if I had gotten the games to work, they would’ve been super underpowered. My AthlonXP system with my Radeon9800pro and 512MB RAM wasn’t gonna have the overhead to run the game that way in a virtual machine less than half the power of that machine. Halo just wouldn’t have been fun.

Which now that I think about it, that was the first simultaneous online game I ever played. I had messed with pool on Yahoo before, but that’s just turn based. Brand New horizon for me. We only had dial up until the time I got that computer.

Nineteen tenty

Eleventy eleven.

Making 119 eleventy nine and 1110 eleventy ten, and therefore, this is eleventy eleven.

I did the math.

I was on 10 and now I’m on Pop. That’s the first I’ve heard of them prioritizing development of a DE.

I really don’t like GNOME, but switching to KDE was literally the first change I made, so I honestly don’t know much about it.

But I don’t really care as long as what I do with it works. I don’t foresee any killer features upcoming soon or anything. I don’t really keep up on news about it or anything though.

I’ve had a mostly smooth experience with it so far. But I don’t use it for anything crazy. I just pay games and stream YouTube and music.

Not trying to convince you that “the water’s fine, jump in” or anything. But it worked for me. I don’t hear a lot about other people picking it up.

You find a million posts about trying Mint or Ubuntu to get their feet wet, but you don’t hear a lot other than those for Linux noobs.

I bought a tiny PC to hookup to my brother’s TV at his house because I go over there on weekends and we always watch a movie followed by a few episodes of whatever TV show we’re working on at the time. His laptop cord is having issues and want able to power the laptop while it’s on. So rather than deal with that I just bought the tiny PC and I did put Mint on that one.

Partly to convert another Windows dependant too.

I tried it when the first one I tried didn’t work out.

Ctrl+C hard locked it instantly every time I pushed it. I could right-click and choose “Copy”, but pushing Ctrl-C just froze whatever image was on screen. No response at all after that. Plus it was giving me a headache trying to get Nvidia drivers installed.

So then I moved to Pop since the correct driver was baked in, and it’s been mostly smooth since.

So here’s the plan guys.

We let Hezbollah and Israel kill each other off, and the citizens start a new government.

One that we can be friendly with.

It’s in the name. If you were a kid in the 90s, you’re a 90s kid. Babies are not the same as kids. Kids can cover a wide range of ages, as they can be referred to as that their whole life with a certain kind of phrasing.

I get the line is debatable, but I feel like consistent early conscious memories is about the starting line for “kid”. I’ve never really heard of it being used to mean when they’re born in conversation.

This is just my experience, but I’ve never heard of this particular molehill.

I’m pretty be to it too, and it’s the first and only one I’ve used for more than a couple hours.

I dumped GNOME immediately, but haven’t really felt a need to change anything else and don’t really know what else I’d want to, at least not yet.

I got my stuff working, got colors and window decorations sorted out, and got gaming working.

Now I’m just vibing.

Halo 1 was the first game I ever played online. I played a lot of it.

But I was a very different person then, and replaying it now reminds me of how stupid I was (because I got into a clan that was very based on that kind of person) and the internal ick just his a fever pitch and ruined the game for me.

I never played 2 since that was on Vista and I never went back to it after finally getting Win 7.

After that the series just felt tainted to me. When I first tried it on a console it was really weird with the control setup. I was very used to hundreds of hours on Perfect Dark with the default controls. Having a second stick and rearranging what hand controlled what bent my mind in knots for a while. But it ended up making more sense that way (as you can easily tell by how much it caught on- not saying Halo pioneered it, but it was my first experience with it).
