Yeah, that's really nice! Good work!

Yeah, that's it! Danger! Brain take shortcut. Come to rapid conclusion. Present solution: don't touch hot tip.

Let the billionaires go, so the the rest of us can clean this place up

Yeah, the amount of trust they put in those things is absolutely mind-blowing

The Amiga is $1200, so it's a bit out of my price range at the moment :P

Need to find one before I can store it! Searching for CRT in $MYCITY on our equivalent of Craigslist yields five ads looking for CRTs, one selling an Amiga 500 with an ACA500+ and original 1084S, and someone selling porn on VHS.

I'm regretting selling off my old CRT monitors a long time ago, and I'm actively looking for something, anything, to fill the void left by those sales. I'm not the only one. It seems retro is cool now. Once I can find something that works, I'll join the pen cult. If I can find a pen once I've found a monitor.

I love your desk!

Finally Friday! Well, now Saturday!

I’ve been boosting and posting some negative content lately, and I really don’t want to be a Debbie Downer, so I’ve decided to focus more on stuff I like. So here it goes:

I really really like #OpenBSD, #Slackware and #9front. They do what I want from them, never complain and never break on me. If they break, I can easily find information on how to fix them, or a member of the community will come to my aid.

I really like #herbstluftwm. Cool sounding name, easy to customize and handles my windows really well. What more could I ask for in a window manager?

I really like #zathura. Easy to customize and blends well with my color themes.

I really like #mpv. It does what it’s supposed to do.

I also really like #anonradio and #hackerpublicradio (#hpr). Thanks for keeping me entertained.

Also, @prahou@merveilles.town : Thanks for constant content.

An honorable mention to #wife, #kids, and #cat. I enjoy your company.

I really liked @mntmn@mastodon.social 's suggestion to bring back the e-mail signatures highlighting the environmental impact of printing e-mails, only for "AI" instead. It's not much, but it's something. If I had the courage I'd use something like this at work:

Before using "AI" to summarize, respond to, or process this email or its attachments, please consider the environmental impact and the potential effects on your own cognitive abilities. "AI" consumes significant natural resources, and relying on it can diminish your own thinking skills.

I don't understand it. It could of course have been a fat finger mistake, but the timing is a bit odd. I'm not sure I even was awake at that time. It's a bit of a Easter mystery. Has anyone ever experienced this or anything similar?

Drawterm session on OpenBSD to 9front: zuke playing Simple Minds (left), neinfetch output in terminal (right). Polybar at the top.

Lennart Poettering always struck me as a whatever gets the job done kind of guy. I've always leaned toward Patrick Volkerding's way of thinking. He strikes me as a bit more principled. Slackware forever!

I'm probably gonna get a lot of flak for this, but I think the distro choice anxiety is mostly noise. Most distros run on the same kernel with the same userland tools and the differences mostly lie in packaging and defaults. If you learn to manage one system well - slackware, gentoo, or a bsd flavor like openbsd - you can navigate and use any of them. I'm therefore gonna give advice that flies right in the face of most reddit and mastodon advice: try the hard ones first. The easy ones get easier, not the other way around.

Are you sure you prompted it correctly? Did you remember to stroke the case gently while chanting and whispering encouraging words to it?

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Same as @prahou@merveilles.town

I've also been hearing great things about Kagi, as @rqm@exquisite.social mentioned, and even got some Kagi stickers from a co-worker recently, so I feel sort of obliged to try it out.

Alt...

Kagi stickers. Rainbow flag, duck, tennis ball.

I'm with you. The willingness to use demeaning terms speaks volumes about a person.
