The advantage of a relatively simple system like #OpenBSD is that you have a good chance to understand it.

The advantage of a turnkey system like Fedora, Ubuntu, or Debian, is that you can get away without understanding it.

Had fun playing today with @RL_Dane, @jp, @ivan, and @joel today! :D

Ivan, Joel, JP, and me in a hut around a different fire, prepping to go beat up a tarantula.

That was a lot of fun, even with my potato 3rd gen integrated intel graphics ;)

I wanted to use my dwarf persona, but I heard it's better to have ranged attack in this game.

@raiderrobert

Use JavaScript for everything.
Test your products only in the fastest computers available.
Put Facebook trackers in all your apps so you can make a few extra pennies.
Financially support all political parties, no matter how vile, because you want to make sure you come out on top.

Gals with a time machine: "OMG you're my grandma! You're so CUUUUUTE as a teenager!"

Dudes with a time machine: "LET'S KILL HITLER!"

Nerds with a time machine: "FINALLY, I can get all the retro hardware I want in near perfect condition for dirt cheap!!!"

How many of you write #Markdown stuff on your #android phone regardless of how often?

How important is it to visually see the styling of Markdown elements while writing?

RL_Dane,
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

@sen

Only occasionally, via #SimpleNote.

I almost never view the formatted version, and even on the desktop, I generally only view the live highlighting in #NeoVim, or use a terminal markdown viewer that performs very similar basic formatting.

The only time I'm viewing fully-fornatted markdown output is when I'm proofreading blog posts before publishing. (In a web browser)

Overheard today someone referring to the cybertruck as an Elon P76 and it just tickled my slightly obscure Australian motoring history gland.

I hate the fact that American vehicles are becoming as heavy, dangerous, as wasteful as they were in the 70s. We've come full circle... to garbage.

Dear God... trying to type into the chat field on major financial website on a 12th Gen i7 and it's like watching the text appear in slow motion.

Let's force all commercial crap onto a separate network :)

@1dalm@deacon.social avatar

After watching the decidedly poorly thought out iPad commercial, I kind of suspect it was a set up. It's so bad, it looks intentionally bad.

Like some business guy thought up the idea and told his creative people to do it. His creative people told him it was a bad idea and the guy made them do it anyway, so they said "We are totally going to make that jerk regret this!"

I dunno, I'd hate to underestimate just how far the Cupertino crowd has their heads up their own butts.

Reminds me of that awful "What's a computer?" ad.

There are some people on here who I like, but can't stand to follow, because they post too many hot takes that turn out to not be accurate.

Man, have I got an inaccurate hot take about people who don't like inaccurate hot takes... XD

Hey is @_ still around?

I guess not. :( @_

Oh, it seems @_ works, and @_ works, but not @_ anymore. Hmm

    New season of Doctor Who, with the 15th Doctor, starts in exactly 2 hours!
    For me that is at 19:00. (7:00pm)
    Shall be watching on Disney+

    Ah, not as much as I'd hoped, but hey, it's better than just one special. (10 was my fave)

    Looking forward to catching up.. sometime. :D

    Enjoy!

    Israel just shredded the UN 🇺🇳 charter at the United Nations and I am not sure if there is a visual more fitting for what that country has done to the world:

    That's gotta be the most fascist thing I've seen in quite some time.

    Well, at least since 2021-01-06.

    Someone needs to write an videogame called "Dopamine Farming" where you have a stable job and a great life and all of a sudden DONT care about anything in the world and start planning things around the dopamine they will produce so you can get through the day, like, "Time for a haircut! I don't need one that badly, but that's fifteen dopamine points, so I'll take it!"

    What're the things around the webcam?

    Looks like a couple sliding switches and some kind of sensor.
