The only major difference between THESE twenties and THOSE twenties is that people had nicer clothes back then. :P

No but like, sometimes you’ll succeed a roll and a message will pop up going “THIEVES’ TOOLS USED”

It seems to happen when I roll something that’s just a bit more than the DC, so like, a lock that needs 20 and I’ll roll 21, it gets consumed. Whereas it seems to happen less when rolling like 10 more than I need.

But then sometimes even this observation doesn’t seem to apply.

All of the above.

But if you’re gonna go with gorilla tactics like clipping through, you do know you can just blow up the door, right? :D

I used Debian on my other computer and it made me happy. But not having access to the AUR was too annoying so I never switched away from EOS on my main computer. Not everything can be verified on the repo, flatpaks and their weird compartimentalized sandbox are confusing to me, and sometimes I don’t wanna build shit from source.

Quick Attack? Like the pokeymun move?

Afaik you are not correct. Copyrights for a corporation also have an expiration date.

Except – The expiration date can be extended by just continuing to use the IP – Ever wondered why movies get remakes/reimaginings every 30 years or so? We meme about them being “Out of ideas”, but really it’s so they can hold down their copyright.

Gnome reminds me of MacOS(derogatory). I mean at least Gnome lets me change shit if I fidget and fennagle enough, but it is still far too locked down for me. Extensions are a half-measure that also doesn’t do enough.

KDE is good but it’s a bit pudgy, I’m a XFCE user.

I object to this blatant misinformation about me.

I am Thirty, not twenty-three, mister.

Welp, it’s fucked.

And I was just thinking of re-joining after my brief stint with it circa 2013

There might be a config for it, but I use a plugin called auto tab discard. Very configurable. Saves ram too

The internet’s superpower is to drain words of meaning.

Initially the word Tankie was a very specific, very directed insult. It was a pejorative for like. Y’know, Soviet-Union simps. “Leftists” that spent a lot of time memorizing Soviet Union WW2 trivia and adorning themselves in Soviet ephemera, much like how certain nazi teens do. The accusation was very direct and very clear: “You do not care about the workers’ cause. You just like the Soviet aesthetic and have a very weird thing for ww2”. Like a Wehraboo except they’ll call you ‘Comrade’ instead of a racial slur.

It then, by simple extension, became a pejorative for Marxist-leninists. Cuz of course. Most MLs are Soviet Union simps, later they transitioned to being China simps and would you look at that, China also offers a lot of military ephemera they can be, y’know, weird about. Of course if you lack a bit of context you can then use it for any vaguely authoritarian ‘leftist’ and you won’t even be all that wrong, it’s close enough.

Eventually though? It sorta leaked (thanks a lot, Adam Something)

… And now there’s a lot of like, straight up Neoliberals using the term ‘Tankie’ as an insult in the same way their conservative grandparents would have used the term ‘Pinko’. It has entirely exited the purview of leftist discourse.

Yes. Encourage people to use federation FFS.

If it has to be from this list… The HUD. Having a chronic disease, much more convenient than having to do yearly check-ups just to know if I’m still in remission or if I need some new intervention. Just a notification saying “Your crohn’s disease condition has advanced to level 2” letting me know it’s time to call the doctor.

If not from this list, then video-game style cooking-crafting. Mix the tail of a random lizard with the stomach of a weird bull to make yourself into a god for ten brief minutes.

Depicted: Why I’ve been trying to violently cut away Windows’ presence in my life.

“Security” features that add no security whatsoever and only exist for DRM reasons

VinesNFluff, 10 months ago

My tipping point was actually how trigger-happy Windows Defender is about crack software and how you literally cannot meaningfully disable it without first breaking apart the entire OS. – Only do a temporary turn-off that only lasts until the next time the computer is turned on. Or another less temporary turn-off that lasts until the next system update. Which. Fuck off. I can tell a feature that is working against me from how hard it is for me to get rid of it.

I won’t be one of those liars who tells you “Linux is eaaaaaaaaasy, you’ll get it in no time”

It’s a skillset. You’ll have to learn stuff. You’ll have to browse wikis and ask for help on Discord servers and fucc around a lot. Plus it has this thing that when something works it works really well, and when something doesn’t work, boy are you in for a capital-F-fun afternoon.

But it keeps me happy with how much I can customize my experience to my own personality, and how fast and smooth it is, even on my old, beat-up laptops.

Still keep a windows install around for those days when I need some application that doesn’t exist on Linux, doesn’t have a viable alternative, and won’t play ball with Wine/Proton. But those are becoming rarer and rarer. Maybe one day I’ll be rich enough to have a computer with several GPUs and I’ll virtualize Windows instead of dual-booting it.

[opens terminal and hits control-R]

My mind has been expanded. How come no one told me of this before? This surf-and-turfs the fuck out of mashing up.

Like I’m using fish and it shows a whole ass UI for searching through my command history. That’s awesome.

I actually have a rotating slideshow, and the theme is “fancy aesthetics”. What the pictures actually are can be anything from art (digital paintings, anime, furry art, whatever), to photos (whether they be from fashion catalogues or screenshots from movies or whatever). As long as I consider the aesthetics sufficiently fancy.

Here’s what was on monitor 1 at the time of screenshotting, and here is monitor 2.
