What?

I don't even know what to say right now.

When did I miss this? What is it? Has this been going on, or is it new? I'm so confused.

So in the last few hours I've learned pretty much that I'm too dumb for docker.

Also learned that there are a ton of old ass tuts out there that don't work. And that led to learning how to reset docker containers, which is still something I apparently can't do.

Shoulda used the snap.

I'm going to have to intersperse some other books with the Mistborn trilogy. I'm 5 hours in and only 200 pages into the 2500 page trilogy. I don't think I'll ever buy a trilogy all in one book again. It is just too long. Especially Sanderson who can't seem to write anything small.

I should have made this decision earlier today since I had a hold come in from Libby, but I already delayed it.

the only US citizens Americans should be taking protesting cues from are PUERTORRIQUEÑOS.

why? Puerto Rico is bound, muzzled & knee-capped by the USA constitution YET our people took to the streets, IN THE ISLAND & WORLDWIDE, and changed the government in 12 days of non-stop protests.

PROTESTS WORK.

so much so, USA media wants you to forget those 12 days of protests when writing of the global unrests of 2019.

WE ARE MORE AND WE HAVE NO FEAR;
somos más y no tenemos miedo.

another sea of humanity on el casco de San Juan, in front of our capitol hill, our Congreso.
Bad Bunny, members of Calle 13 including René Pérez (in the blue cap), who called for the protests; and Ricky Martín standing next to him.
a show of protests signs from those 12 days, from left to right: 1. FUERA POLICÍA; police get out the governor was infamous for his abuse of power and treating police as his private army 2. ABAJO EL PATRIARCADO; down with patriarchy protests had been happening for ages en La Isla but what ignited the 12 days of rage were leaks of chatlogs where Roselló & his cronies slandered and slurred many activists and at one point even joked about throwing some of them in jail so they could get raped. 3. BLACK & WHITE PUERTO RICAN FLAG is both our distress flag and the symbol of the independence national movement that was led by Don Pedro Albizu Campos and which was a straight offshoot of our abolitionist movement (and hence, led by Afroboricuas). 4. SOMOS MÁS Y NO TENEMOS MIEDO we are more and we have no fear.

Hey everyone!

I'm working on a video to see what the Linux community (or at least people who follow me) actually use.

So, I created a little form, hosted on my Nextcloud (hopefully it's up to the task...)

It's only up for 2 days, so don't hesitate to share it around, it will help me "touch grass" and see if my preconceived notions are confirmed, or invalidated!

https://nextcloud.thelinuxexp.com/index.php/apps/forms/s/XQRzMrs8QTtCjDfSyP4koA9o

Of course, it's all anonymous, no personal data, it's just for the purposes of creating the video.

Malicious KDE theme can wipe out all your data (www.reddit.com)

Or is it just buggy?

IF only Hyprland wouldn't freeze on me, I think I'd be very happy to stay with it. As is, it continues to freeze when I wake the computer up from sleep. Bug report filed, but until it is fixed, I'm once again on the lookout for another WM.

So far tonight I've tried river (got it installed, but wouldn't load), bspwm (maybe, but I don't care for the way it does workspaces), DWM (my build is broken so I'll need to start over), and then went back to hyprland.

I do miss some of my Twitter friends, though.

My motherboard is the most idiotic thing ever. Has USB support. Has a USB C connector for the front.

But not a single USB C on the back.

So I asked for good Fantasy novels with a side of romance (because I like romance in my fantasy, so sue me), and someone told me that Stephen King is the best Romance writer.

This made me laugh out loud. Stephen King is not a romance writer. Do some of his books have romance? Sure. But just lol. Also man can't write an ending to save his life. Still read every book he's ever written though because he's still a good writer.

Okay.

@Vivaldi I'm done.

This happens every time there's an update, and sometimes deleting the Cache directories fixes it, sometime it doesn't. Your browser isn't stable.

I'm going back to Firefox. Sad thing is now I've lost over 100 tabs.

Dear Modern Authors:

For the love of FUCK please tell me an entire story in a single book. Stop with this ending everything unfinished and unraveled, and on a cliffhanger, with no resolution or satisfaction.

Edging is fun in the bedroom, not in book series.

Tell me a goddamn story. A whole story. Start, middle AND FUCKING ENDING.

Write a good story and I'll read your second book. You don't have to trick me.

None of us actually enjoy having to call out tech conferences for still in our year 2024 having zero speakers who aren’t white men. Getting lots of comment abuse, legal threats, guilt trips, and being known for that instead of our jobs isn’t like great or fun, actually.

@IceCubesApp Question, why does IceCubes now jump to the top of the home timeline instead of starting where I left off while showing me a bubble with the amount of posts above where I am currently in the Home timeline? Did I miss something?

How important is the problem of protesters chanting "from the river to the sea" on college campuses compared to the death and destruction in Gaza?

Took a short road trip to #UniversityOfIowa to watch my niece graduate. Super proud of her. She worked hard and absolutely earned her moment!

Decided to take the 10yo with me for the event and he had a blast.

The 10yo and I "discovered" a new taqueria in Iowa City, The Taco Depot. Open 5 months, but nobody has bothered to review them on Yelp. Is Yelp not a thing with college kids? My review is up. 😉 I hope they stick around because our #tacos were DELICIOUS. 🌮
