Linux is suppose to be great for older machines, and yet many of the main stream distros have dropped 32bit support. For this reason I'm installing @mxlinux w/ fluxbox. Thankfully something like mx linux exists for older hardware. :) tyty

Happy 30th DOOM! (1993) IMHO the best way to play doom is Ult+gZdoom+HD. Use the @lutris installation - "Doom" all PC version using GZDoom Lutris runner with "Doom HD texture pack" mod.

Since putting up what amounts to a clothesline on my roof a month ago, I've managed to transmit and make contact with 37 states (and multiple countries) using 10 watts.

This is the power equivalent of putting an LED lightbulb on my roof, flicking it on and off, and having the east coast see it and reply.

Never ceases to feel amazing to me. #hamradio

"We're increasingly believing that young people are incompetent and can't be trusted to do things responsibly, and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy because we don't allow them those opportunities, they don’t develop those opportunities." ~ Peter Gray, a research professor of psychology and neuroscience at Boston College.

For as long as I can remember I've used #Debian and #Ubuntu #Linux. Now so many people are talking about #archlinux. I assume this is because #SteamDeck is powered by Arch.

Should I consider a convert to Arch? Porting and moving years, and years, of custom scripts and services sounds so brutally painful though. Can anyone share a first hand experience of an Deb to Arch switch?

Still messing around with "winning" all the video games on the "List of video games considered the best" (/via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_considered_the_best .)

I beat Pokemon Silver last week. Next? Half-Life or something else...

I cannot describe how far the accuracy of Google search results has fallen into the gutter.

You would search for a term and get news coverage of that topic.

Now, you get at best 2 articles, while the rest is VPN blogs, two random tweets, and a bunch of forums and blog posts that casually mention the search terms ONCE with no relation to the phrase/context in which they were shared.

I'm honestly thinking of ditching Google for Bing or DDG at this point.

Yes, it's literally THAT BAD!

Does anyone use XBMC or Kodi with smart playlists? How can one make a mix of cartoons and have them play in a random order, Like ol' Saturday morning cartoons.

PseudoTV was doing this, but now it's not working out.

Leaving Twitter. And thriving. A true story 🐦👋🏼

“as a platform becomes less reliable — either editorially or technically — staying becomes more fraught. And as NPR has demonstrated, you may not be giving up all that much if you walk away.”
