Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Me trying to explain why I found 2001: A Space Odyssey an excruciating an confusing snoozefest without a single interesting point… while also insisting that Barry Lindon is one of the greatest films ever made : I SWEAR MY OPINION MAKES SENSE

Wait aren’t those ADHD therapeutic help made so you can feel good about losing something that easily replaced by a paperclip for once instead of losing something actually important like your keys ?

Memes quickly assembled in Gimp should be sitting on a throne considering the skills required

Sure, but it takes extra steps and the results won’t be as good as direct screen capture. It won’t stop someone determined, but it’s annoying enough that most people won’t bother.

I was listening again to Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. It gets really hilarious at times

It’s okay people, even if the feature in itself is not awful, MS Teams still is awful. We can still bash on MS to relieve past Windows trauma.

I really want to dump on them but I can’t find anything wrong with the feature… That’s depressing, I’ll have to look elsewhere for my dose of “MS can’t do anything right lol”

Yes I see what you mean, I only stuck with the same install out of resignation and horror at the idea of doing everything again, but I constantly had the same urge to just wipe everything and restart. I hope your try with Nix goes well !

Wow resetting every few months must have been a lot of work… I never had the courage to do fresh Windows installs often, especially considering how long it took after every install to manually go through each setting, each pre-installed program and each service to manually clean everything up, and with each new Windows version a lot more crap to clean up 😭

I had never heard of the impermanence module, that seems really cool !

Right Wayfire looks really cool too ! Actually I should probably add “check every single wayland compositor” to my list, I’m curious about those based on Mir too

Nope, pretty sure French politics should get a crying face (saying this as a French citizen)

using tldr instead of man 90% of the time to preserve your sanity

🎉 COLORS ! READABILITY ! CONCISION ! CONCRETE EXAMPLES ! 🎉

I have no clue… I grew up on Windows 3.11 and I thought Windows was kinda lame while MS-DOS was the coolest thing ever because you typed things like magic spells 😅

Same, declarative configs stored in a repo sound just perfect. But I haven’t gotten around to it yet…

It’s been months since since “I’ll try NixOS next week for sure”… Any day now !

I really want to try Niri (infinite scroll wayland compositor), but since I’m very happy with Sway I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

Also I’ve been bugging people to try LFS with me for a year… WAIT WHERE DID YOU GO ??? HELLO ???

It must have felt very weird to be working to prevent Y2K while everyone else was hoping for a good show, and in the end see people be disappointed instead of impressed because nothing happened 😅

Watching things crash is always more interesting than watching things work perfectly as usual…

OH NOOO AFTER M&MS CARS ARE NOW INFECTED BY THE WOKE VIRUS (soon on Fox News I’m sure 😂 )

Hopefully Mozilla won’t die until Ladybird or Servo is ready 😅

I’m not that pessimistic, development for Ladybird seems to be going well and those crazy people are building it from scratch rather than basing it on Chromium or Firefox. There’s also Servo. When Mozilla dies the forks will hang on for a while then we’ll have alternatives.
