    • DE: Sway
    • OS: Arch Linux (linux-hardened 6.6.12)
    • GTK Theme: Everforest
    • Kvantum Theme: (Can't remember where I found it; ask me and I'll send you a copy next time I open my machine)
    • Icon Theme: Papirus-Dark (Green)

  • I would, however, use a "vi"sual editor.

  • Hey, it's not like I'm surprised. I suggested that everyone leave for Signal as soon as Facebook bought the damn thing. The trouble was that nobody but my immediate family actually listened or cared.

  • I'm using it fine without Play Services. The only snag is that the notifications tend to come through several hours late, but I only really use the app for the old (mostly dead) group chat, as well as to get Wordle scores from my grandma.

  • Bold of you to assume I get spam in my emails or SMS

  • My family already moved to Signal about a year ago, and I have an online friend who I talk to over Tox; but my friends from high school pretty much only use WhatsApp, Instagram, ans TikTok, and they have never been open to my suggestions of switching to Signal and the Fediverse.

  • Same

  • My family moved as soon as I asked last year; but my old friend group is rather stubborn.

  • Yes, but I didn't sign up to receive ads in WhatsApp, nor did I agree when creating either account.

  • Buy and use a burner phone while you're there, and remember that VPNs are illegal.

  • Yaori

  • This sounds like a headline from The Day Today.

  • That could make for a very interesting sitcom.

  • Hey, that was my -76th Birthday!

  • Sneaky-ass sugar.

  • Where was it hiding?

  • The fuck I won't. I just won't have paid for most of it.


    Fuck the system.

  • I love it!

  • The November 2, 2024 episode of Saturday Night Live (SNL) ran a spoof campaign advertisement in which Harvey Epstein (played by host John Mulaney) repeatedly affirms that he is not convicted sex offenders Harvey WeinsteinJeffrey Epstein or some amalgamation thereof. Harvey Epstein, who is a regular SNL viewer, was surprised at the sketch and told The New York Times that he found it "ridiculously funny" and encouraged readers to support survivors of sexual abuse by donating to RAINN.

    Seems like a good sport.

  • Here are three sites that will make your life a whole lot easier:

    • DistroWatch.com - This is basically a database of various Linux distros, BSDs, Unices, and other similar OSes. It's a good way of looking into a distro before installing it.
    • DistroChooser - This is a basic quiz that suggests Linux distros for you.
    • Linux Hardware - This is a database of hardware. I use it to check driver support before buying a new machine. It is hosted in Russia, though, so be careful.

    If you or your dad are new to Linux, don't bother with DistroWatch or DistroChooser just yet; go for Linux Mint.

    I started my Linux journey with Mint on a ThinkPad T400 back in 2019, and now I'm one of the few people in my university writing Bash scripts without using ChatGPT. This shouldn't be a flex, but it is; and I owe it to starting with Mint.
