If anyone wants to or knows someone who wants to hack on a PineNote, let me know. I’m willing to send it to an eager developer for the cost of shipping. It’s unclear where the project is heading, but it seems some people are trying to run Debian and . There’s an effort to get mainline kernel support in for it. I just don’t have the patience and time to contribute.

I’ve already left a message in the Pine Discord offering the same.

I tried the Fedora Sway spin after upgrading to Fedora 40. I'm really sorry Linux people, but you live in a reality distortion field far greater than anything Apple has ever been accused of.

Sway is great software with great ideas, but I cannot comprehend how dotfiles are tolerated as if that's a normal way to interact with desktop operating systems.

Steps to set the correct refresh rate for my monitor:

(see reply)

  1. Google config file location. The first link to the Fedora docs points to ~/.config/sway/config.d/*.conf

  2. Look up the config format for resolution

  3. swaymsg -t get_outputs spits out 500 lines of possible configs for my monitor, cool

  4. Pick the obvious one, write it to 90-video.conf

  5. Reload, nothing happens

  6. Try the normal config location, from memory ~/.config/sway/config

  7. Reload works

  8. Now all the default keybinds like Super+Enter to open a terminal no longer work

Not much baffles me more than Python dependency and version wrangling. All I wanna do is run some stupid local stable diffusion script and it just refuses to resolve its own dependencies.

How is it still this bad? Why do I have to think about virtual environments at all? Vendor your own shit and leave me out of it.

inb4 have you considered trying <obscure tiling manager> and a couple hundred .dotfiles?

On a more serious note I should give elementary OS another try. It’s the only distro that seems to make an effort.

@danirabbit, how can I help make it even better? Who else cares as much as me?

@cadey ouch. At what point do you give up on AF, set the aperture to f/8 and manually zone focus?

    This short video from my little sister’s wedding on the weekend has been giving me SO MUCH GENDER for the last few days :blobhaj_heart: :blobhaj_hearttrans:

    Left to right: me, my youngest sister (bride), my younger middle sister, and our older sister.

    A slow panning candid video of four women posing for a photo being taken out of frame. They’re all smiling. The girl on the left’s eyes are darting around. She’s more self conscious than the others. The song “We Are Family” is playing, clipped on the lyric “We are family, I got all my sisters with me”

    It’s so funny how both anxiousposting (what I do) and avoidantposting (not posting at all) have the same result: feeling invisible.

    How do you move to a new place and meet new people when you’re bad at doing that where you’ve lived your whole life?

    My only ideas so far are pottery classes and gay bars, but I’ve been trying to stop drinking. I don’t make good first impressions when I’m nervous 🥲
