Sometimes, you just need to accept that things are fucked because of your own hubris. You just have to accept that you're wrong. For me, that's today. I tried to find an inexpensive tablet that works on Linux. I tried a myriad of drivers, both official & FOSS.

Hi there! It's Puptana, and she's here to help :3 Smol bark there, touch of woof here, and yer PC will be ready for walkies. Use yer chompers or the keyboard along the way, and if you'd like pup to stay quiet, select the "Shut the Pup Up" button down at the bottom of the screen. Let's dig holes.

Good news, one of my tablets works perfectly on Linux, including the eraser! Bad news, it's this one from 2001:

Why is graphics tablet support so ass on Linux? I just want a working eraser (´༎ຶw༎ຶ)

Seems like my T40 has the infamous GPU solder issue. I'll try to save this motherboard if I can find someone to do a reflow for me, I'm not attempting that myself. For the time being I found a couple motherboards on ebay that are supposedly "new old stock".

I made french onion soup today. My eyes are burnin from stirring onions for an hour, but it's so worth it. Heres the recipe I use: www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/fren...

If anyone gets a #Xencelabs tablet, and wants it on Linux, I'll save you a headache. Get the Beta driver, and install the .deb (or .rpm) package. Then run the install script in the .tar.gz afterwards. It doesn't detect the tablet if you only do one or the other, at least not on Debian 13.2 Stable

My few hours using Arch can be summed up in one word: Pain. I don't mind using a "hard" distro, I daily drive Slackware after all. But in Arch, nothing seems to work OOTB. Every little thing needs tweaking and configuring to get working at a base level. Maybe I'll give Debian another chance...

ah fuck i'm gonna have to decide what's the first thing i jerk off to in 2026. god fuck i cannot fuck this up

Happy new year!!! :3

Got a new Xencelabs tablet, because the Huion I have has crap Linux support and doesn't play nice with Krita. The Xencelabs one says it has full support for Krita, and works on a ton of distros. Turns out the new one's software only works on distros with systemd. :\ Guess I'm installing Arch.

Protoweb is the coolest project ever! It basically allows you to browse the old web on real hardware and or a virtual machine!

Actually flabbergasted when I saw this. Microsoft, please be like this again.

Friendly reminder: If you sell a computer, WIPE YOUR DRIVES. The IBM T40 I bought is FILLED with docs from some school. Like, the HDD is full. I'm not gonna dig through it, but judging by folder names it looks like 5 years worth. They're lucky someone malicious didn't get ahold of this thing.

IBM ThinkPad T40 <3 It's got Windows XP on it right now, but apparently this thing supports 98SE. Not sure what OS to go with, 98 would be the most fun but the wi-fi likely wouldn't work, or I could stick an older Slackware or OpenBSD release on it for better performance.

Bluesky really needs an edit button. I don't wanna redo 3 posts every time my ADHD little brain does stupid stuff like replacing Bastet with Baphomet °^°

The rest of my plushies (thread)

@brizunzies.bsky.social 's fuzzy noodle arrived today & shes perfect <3 Yinz gotta stop making cute shit, my shelves are full already X3

Trying to learn how to properly draw faces today.

Since the new year is coming up I'd like to remind yinz: "Gutta cavat lapidem non vi, sed saepe cadendo." -Ovid In English, "A drop of water hollows stone, not through force, but by falling often."

i'm really supposed to wake up every morning knowing the world is filled with evil morons who want to kill everyone i care about and like. get on with my day lmao

Jayrnski prints <3

Wanted to upgrate the RAM in my Thinkpads so they're all 16GB, rn three are 8GB and one is 4GB. Crucial wants $93 for 2 8GB sticks of DDR3L-1600 SODIMM Are they insane? DDR3 was obsolete 8 years ago, I can get 2 new 8GB sticks of DDR4 from Corsair for $4 cheaper.

Somebody needs to make a giant dragon beanbag chair. I wanna nap on a derg belly, and I have no derg T^T

Boykisser Cookie Cutter 3d model file is up on printables. :3 I'll put it on thingiverse sometime tomorrow, I just made that account and have to wait 24h to upload. :/ www.printables.com/model/152990...

You like shortbread cookies ~don't you?

Cute little Foxie Doodle

Got a new 4 drive enclosure & another NAS drive, so now my home server has another 8TB for me to datahoard. I'm gonna download so much crap I don't need. :3

Merry Christmas!

This is why I quit watching TV. Intrusive ads are my "nails on a chalkboard". Silent banner or sidebar ads on a site are fine, but the second I see a video ad or pop-up that covers an eighth of the page, I'm blocking all ads on that site.

This was supposed to look like the "Mother of God..." reaction image, but the more I look at it, I keep seeing furry Agent Smith.

Why most people carry lockpicks: - As a fun hobby. - In case someone locks their keys somewhere. - To steal stuff. Why I carry lockpicks: - To refill the toilet paper dispenser at work, because none of the guys with keys do it.

You ever get hit with a random craving?

If you've ever seen a drawing online and thought "man, I wish I could draw like that." I have great news; you can. You can just learn to draw.

Hey, @waterfox.net Please set up a way to donate $ to the project, so those of us who don't have the time to contribute can still support you. If you already have one, put it on the front page of your site. I already have recurring donations to Ladybird & Wikipedia. I'll gladly donate to you.

I've gotta thank big-tech for one thing, I've been dragging my feet switching everything to #FOSS. So thanks for giving me the push I needed to ditch your shitty software. Other than my Mac & iPhone which I need for Uni & work stuff, I'm almost 100% FOSS & non-corporate software at home now.

When I look in a mirror I only ever have one of two thoughts: 1. Eww, gross. 2. Goddammm.... I'd fuck me. Never any inbetween, just those two extremes. Not sure what that says about me. Been mostly #2 lately, wish I knew how to keep it that way. Feeling self consious half the time really sucks.

Installed #Waterfox on my Mac & my laptop running Slackware. I've used #Librewolf for a while. I have it on the one Win10 laptop I keep around for a few scripts that I haven't yet ported to Linux. I'll make another post if I find any major differences between the two. So far nothing notable...

Great. After having one of the worst days I've had in ages, I get to come home to this garbage. I've used #Firefox since Windows Vista, no matter how many times Mozilla shot itself in the foot, but turning it into an AI browser is crossing the line. Guess I'm switching to #Librewolf full time.

Making a thing at work, and one part is advertising taps. They've given me descriptions to use from the mfg, heres how some of em start: "Patent pending flared-head..." "Full-size shaft.." "Easily fits in tight spaces..." Did they steal their marketing rep from Bad Dragon?

Is the random urge to jump around and make fox noises therian-coded, or is that just my adhd doin its thing? Either way it's been a real annoyance for the past few years. I gotta sit here and be quiet & professional & make things in illustrator, which is literally the opposite of that stim of mine.
