Wikipedia is worth $10/month because if it dies so does reliable knowledge. Cough up if you can -- it's cheaper, more interesting and morally superior to Netflix.

For the initiated: is there anything in an HDD's hardware that can make it impossible to patrition if formatted to GPT? The drive is from a 13yo laptop but appears to be healthy and working properly with msdos.

Oh hello the sudden urge to stab myself in the stomach, long time no see

I wish

yeah sex is cool but has anyone ever hugged you so tight that you feel genuinely loved

Linux is fun in the same sense in which Sisyphus is happy

Now it sounds like you are killing demons on a beach

Lmao I never knew what the limit to the number on the new notifications bubble was

Silly thought but I wish Valve embraces the Steam terminology and blesses us with hardware named after boilers, shafts, screws, etc.

'Windows 11 distro' is not a phrase I expected to hear today youtu.be/LuyC0y7Ahfg

Discord has the strangest corporate language I've seen so far. It tries to be informal so hard it comes off as uncanny, like a rubber mask that looks too much like a human face.

One must wonder how much of an average conservator's worldview is nostalgia; fake memories, yearning for the past that never existed. I've seen enough old folks who pictured the Soviet Union of all things as their paradise lost. It can't be rational, it just can't.

Every night, I picture myself cuddled to sleep by a woman who doesn't exist

Had a bit of a battle with Lutris. Blessed be Reddit for it is the one place with answers to questions like, "why can't Pacman find 32-bit Vulkan drivers despite them being listed as available" With everything fixed, I feel a strange sense of accomplishment, as if I've done something useful.

I very nearly came out as trans to my mother. It was clearly an impulsive urge dictated entirely by the feeling of the world ending. She is transphobic; if would not have changed her, it would not have changed anything.

For whom it may concern, I don't believe in rehabilitative justice. Some people have proven beyond any reasonable doubt that they should be isolated for the sake of the others' safety.

I knew I must have forgotten to transfer _something_ to the new system, and sure enough, I did forget to bring my Minecraft worlds. There is a recent backup which I might try to use to get them back but that would involve installing yet another system. I wonder if a VM can help here.

I have a suspicion that it is time to start media hoarding since the complete loss of access to the Large Web doesn't seem like too distant of a possibility anymore. *** That said, what are people using nowadays to download from YouTube?

Another interesting change I noticed upon switching to Arch, although I suspect it is more of a Plasma vs Gnome thing, is the battery life. It didn't quite double but the new system seems to be vastly more power-efficient.

Reject convenience, embrace what exactly ...cargo cult probably

Now I know where to put an app installed from a .tar.xz archive and how to create a desktop entry for it thanks to the fact that installing Zen from AUR was taking forever and Flatpak returns 403 for whatever reason.

I managed to teach my mother to spot AI-generated shorts or at least question the suspicious ones. Part of me knows how little that matters but still, one facet of fake reality less.

TIL Ubuntu App Center has some kind of recurring problem removing snaps. Last time, it failed to get rid of the extra Discord app (which it still lists as present despite it being clearly gone), and now, something similar happened when trying to remove/reinstall Telegram.

sqlite.org/codeofethics... sqlite is christian software as well. how fun is that.

I am getting harassed by Rust compiler :\ I could use some knowledge of how to use it rn ngl because I have no idea what rust-lld: error: unable to find library -lsqlite3 means and how to fix it.

Not like I am surprised but was is still interesting to notice that Arch uses only abt 0.5GB of RAM on its own. The 12GB I shoved into my old laptop was not only plenty but frankly completely unnecessary.

The lack of a reliable bypass of traffic filtering is killing me. At this point, trying to route all connections through Tor doesn't seem like an outlandish idea anymore, assuming it is doable at all. Knowing anything about Linux, it should be, but who knows how usable it would be.

Hyprland, first impressions: I am going insane. I am glad I decided to test it first on a sacrificial laptop because this is the first time I would have been unable to do _anything_ on a machine without a very detailed guide, despite having read quite a lot on setting the thing up.

If I had a nickel for every time one of my favorite deathcore vocalists with nasty low extreme vocals got cancelled for sexual assault, I'd have two nickels. Which is certainly not good but somehow, also not surprising in a slightest.

1. The idea to turn a family reunion into a deathcore song is crazy 2. I am happy to see people use extreme metal to express very normal personal human feelings because _it_works_ 3. Will is a fascinating guy and a great artist youtu.be/2pScWD7ay1I

YouTube is a fucking dumpster fire, and I sincerely hope there is anything at all in the world that is capable of making it collapse

Venti & Aether bunny femboys part 2 👯 This is the finished version of the sketch I posted a while back, I love drawing these two together…

Finally got around fighting the Unmatched Power of the Sun and lowkey liked it more than P-1. I know I am the exact kind of player that is not, like, entertainingly bad, and nowhere near good enough to be worth watching, but whatever. youtu.be/acXU3R1QFes

We got seasonal events, mods, a crackhead tryhard community of speedrunners, memes, custom maps, tinfoil lore theories, homages in music and other games, eeekhhh fanart... cameos, bonus levels, and a full-on visual remaster before the game itself.

I was casually cybergrinding and got jumpscared by a bunnygirl mindflayer. This prompted me to go through the enemy list and pick the ones that look the best with the ears.

Thinking again on Lain's interesting take on foreshadowing. This word is often associated with teasing some big subversion of expectations later in a story; this approach runs the risk of feeling contrived, as if to surprise the viewer was the author's entire goal.

In a way, this reminds me of the initial impression from Ergo Proxy. However, the reason why it has episodes of seemingly far worse writing quality than the rest of the series, in the end comes down to the fact that the show is deeply self-referential with a significant degree of irony to it.
