Omnist and Mystic

I am currently learning how to explore the Akashic Records, and in my free time, I enjoy reading stories on AO3, especially set in the Human Domestication Guide universe.

  • it's a simple question

    Jump

  • Ubuntu 8.10-12.04 Ubuntu MATE 14.04 Debian 8-13 with GNOME

    I've played around on a lot of other distros, but Debian with Gnome (set up like Gnome 2) has been my home for a while.

  • The Universal Operating System

    Jump

  • I started with Ubuntu 8.10 on Gnome 2, and switched to Debian 8 after Snaps were introduced in Ubuntu 16.04.

    I still use Gnome with a very Gnome 2-esque layout. AND default Adwaita. What can I say, it's digital home for me. Almost every app I use is Flatpak, so it's always fresh.

  • 2026 is the year of the linux desktop

    Jump

  • I'm loving to see all these people jumping to Linux. I switched back in 2008 with Ubuntu 8.10. So much has changed since then.

  • Newsmax sues Fox News, saying it illegally controls right-wing TV market : NPR

    Jump

  • I was arguing with my mom a few weeks ago because she was spouting racist anti-immigrant bullshit randomly, and I told her to stop watching Fox News.

    She said, "I don't watch Fox News anymore. They're propaganda. I switched to NewsMax."

    ಠ_ಠ

    I honestly hope they destroy and bankrupt each other. We literally can't mention politics anymore or else it will turn into a shouting match, because she is so brainwashed and propaganda-addled and gets angry when I literally back myself up with evidence that I show her right then. We even had to come up with a safe word if we get close so we don't start yelling.

  • It has now been 15 years since the federal minimum wage rose to $7.25

    Jump

  • I remember when it rose from $6.25 to $7.25 when I was working at Kroger in high school. At the time it was a nice little bump, but the fact that it hasn't changed since is criminal.

  • Goodbye, Comrade

  • fastfetch -c neofetch

  • National Security

    Jump

  • I remember the video this is from. I think it's just a low wall that's open above that with a staircase on the other side.

  • Popup Ads in Your Pickup Truck? RAM Trucks Now Feature Scammy Ads on the Center Display

    Jump

  • My stereo can do Bluetooth for music. That's good enough for me. I hope my car lasts forever because I don't want anything like that in my car.

  • App for downsizing MP3s automatically when copying to a phone?

    Jump

  • I don't know about automatic, but I also have music locally on my phone after moving away from streaming services.

    I use fre:ac to convert from FLAC to MP3, and then just save it in a separate folder. Then when I'm done I move the folder to the phone and delete it from the computer so I just have FLAC on my computer.

    Not automatic, but that's how I usually do it.

  • Bat flies into woman's mouth in Arizona, costing her nearly $21,000 in medical bills

    Jump

  • Thanks for reminding me of this. My COBRA coverage was asking $758 a month. I found a 0 deductible plan on healthcare.gov for $370. If I don't get a job by the end of this month, I'll sign up for that.

  • Bat flies into woman's mouth in Arizona, costing her nearly $21,000 in medical bills

    Jump

  • I got laid off and looked into the COBRA offering. Sorry, but I'm not paying $758 a MONTH for coverage. NOPE.

  • What do you prefer: icon view or detailed list view?

    Jump

  • Detail view forever.

  • Okay why is your distro the best?

    Jump

  • I am using Bluefin, based on Fedora Silverblue. I realized that I was already exclusively using flatpaks for everything except one random app, so I thought why not go all-in?

    Haven't had to worry about updates or system breakages since, and it's been great so far.

    I used to use Debian Stable, but since doing SysAdmin work I've just become used to the way Fedora / RHEL does things.

  • What is the keyboard shortcut to "go to previous displayed tab" ?

    Jump

  • Holy crap. Use the Tab Stash extension. Separate tabs into windows and stash the entire window. It will save them all to a group or collection that you can name, and you can go back and reopen them when needed.

    Seriously, I can't imagine how outdated your browser is if you never close it, not to mention the last time you restarted your computer. You're one power failure away from chaos.

    If you also get the xBrowserSync extension, you can back up all your bookmarks and tabs so if your computer ever dies you can restore it to a new browser install.

  • posting 'tankie' is the new 'woke' slur on a lemmy instance..

    Jump

  • I mean liberalism in the sense of support for things like private property, liberal 'western' democracy and an exploitative, laissez-faire approach to market economies. I am American; perhaps I'm just not understanding the varied meaning of the word?

  • posting 'tankie' is the new 'woke' slur on a lemmy instance..

    Jump

  • Liberals are incapable of intelligent conversation with others, especially those of opposing viewpoints. They've been trained to desire and maintain the status quo (Capital), even in the face of creeping fascism, and will parrot insults at anyone who doesn't tow the line. 'Tankie' is just the newest term.

    It's just western red scare paranoia with a millennial twist. I hadn't peeked at those communities before, but I'll make sure they're given a wide berth now.
