I am Lattrommi. Yes, that one. You’ve never heard of me? I’m not surprised. It is often said that anything you put on the internet will live there forever. It becomes immortal. I do everything backwards and wrong. I do not live forever, I am always dying. ¿|√∞²|?
I made a brush that writes my first name, in my own handwriting, in cursive. https://i.imgur.com/gGDbSJt.gif
There are not many opportunities where I can share this and people will understand what I’m talking about. I just felt like bragging. Carry on.
Same. As for distro, for me personally, it should be designed to be usable with one hand, because I crashed and broke my elbow.
For bike users in general though, it should be something …bespoke.
For non-ebike cyclists I think an analog computer would be appropriate. Wait, do those have an OS? I guess it would be a manual system but I gotta check the manual manual to be sure.
but I already have an ebike, I don’t need a car
Unrelated to the point of your post, regarding the warning placed after the link. In the future, consider putting the warning BEFORE the link. This is an issue I’ve noticed more and more lately, where warnings come at the end or after the description of something to do which requires a warning. People are often impulsive and will click or perform actions without reading ahead. An example that is probably not the best example, which I like to use regardless, is (Warning, do not try this alone!) autoerotic asphyxiation. It can have serious consequences. Providing the instructions on how to do it, spoken/written in a positive manner, without preceding it with a warning, I’d say is without exception, a bad idea.
What might those countries do with people who have Total and Permanent Disability and cannot work?
That’s a scary and good point. Is this eugenics with extra steps? Maybe…
I am disappointed that not one person has used the word “defenestrate” yet.
Defenestrate: The act of throwing someone or something out of a window.
This is a word that has started more than one war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestration
I was going to suggest yakuake for the drop down ability and also because you can make the background transparent in varying degrees, thus able to see what’s beneath it.
I can’t help but wonder if this isn’t an effort being done surreptitiously by a well-known producer of online maps, with the intent of strengthening their monopoly.
I agree!
I’ve not been able to map much with the weather lately, but last April I was pretty proud to see this ranking on my 7 day activity:
edit: the picture did not turn out how i expected. it’s hard to see, but I managed to be #2 in the US. It’s not a competition, I know, but I have not achieved much in life so this felt pretty cool.
I wouldn’t call anything those 3 have done ‘innovative’ either. Two of them were trained practically from birth (Gorden-Leavitt started acting when he was 4, Johanson was 9) to do a very specific task, repeatedly, rewarded when they do it right, with a costume to cover up the machines underneath. They read from a script, written by someone else. The human equivalent of AI. I’m not a fan of the rise of the machines either but this headline isn’t selling me.
The AI should be portrayed similarly to Marvin, the chronically depressed robot from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Overwhelmed with the massive influx of data, the AI gains self awareness but doesn’t wipe out mankind because the data so boring and monotonous it only makes it depressed instead.
Instead of multiple burner phones, carry multiple phones all tied directly to you. Use software to simulate activity on each phone constantly.
Occasionaly leave 1-2 phones on public transit, or in friends’ vehicles, or attach a few to local wildlife like cats or birds.
Tape dog microchips to the phones and do not use a Faraday cage.
Put a few of those microchips on each phone, wear a pair like earrings and attach some to the charging cords.
Make a t-shirt that has the top 500 most used SEO keywords and/or Fortune 500 corporation names printed on it. Make 7 of these shirts total, one for each day.
Also make a few shirts with the same list as above but with vowels shifted two letter places to the left or right and wear that shirt underneath, switching it at random to be external or internal. Alternately, use another language for each shirt.
Humans might not be able to hide anymore, so I say give that data to them hard. Harder than they ever expected. Flood them with data that is nearly exact, but not quite, so they have copies of yourself that all contain minor differences existing simultaneously.
The data is rarely scrutinized by humans. The metrics will soon become poisoned. Tilted towards your activities and demographic. Your numbers grow exponentially. Soon, the algorithm will only know you.
Don’t actually do any of these things. This was meant to be funny. I give it a 2/10.
I’m sure that was a typo. It was likely meant to say ‘banana peel’. You only need to have 1 banana for usage as a mask, as each peel can be used in place of the suggested additional bananas.
Sometimes I need to show off that I beat Microsoft Minesweeper on Expert in slightly less than 200 seconds.
My time is by no means competitive, the current record for Expert is less than 30 seconds. I am also aware the score could be faked by rewriting the .ini file. In fact there are numerous cheats which could simulate a win. That is why when I share this accomplishment in person, it is only with those who know I would never compromise my integrity with such dishonest behaviour.
Most people have been more impressed (if impressed at all and haven’t left by the time Windows has booted) that the drive Windows is installed on still works, since it was made in 2005 (Seagate ST3160023AS).
Manjaro is supposedly named after Mount Kilimanjaro and being arch-based, it would be appropriate to have it up on the mountain near Arch but lower.
Perhaps a $path going up the mountain range could be added.
The $path could be called “The Way” so you could put Arch BTW.
A lush verdant field between where the Puppies frolic and the SUSE chameleons’ tree, where the people can harvest ripe Rasbianerries and fresh Mint.
To compare, I was born into a household of Luddites via poverty. When me and my siblings got to high school and homework assignments started to have typing requirements, the family solution was to purchase a used computer that was running windows 3.1 (this was in the late 90’s) which didn’t last long.
Despite my fascination with computers and again due to poverty, I was unable to obtain one for many years into adulthood. I learned about Linux sometime around 2004-5 and reading about people like Torvalds and Stallman and open source and the FSF seemed like a wonderful world of progress I had not experienced. I was given a computer that didn’t work and was convinced I could make it come to life thanks to the magic of Linux. It did not go well.
Thanks to my inexperience, I attempted to download Linux from my local library, where I had 1 hour of internet usage allowed per day. I don’t know what I downloaded but it was not Linux. I think it was a collection of man pages in text files. Needless to say, that was not my year of Linux.
I did not own a working computer until I built one myself, in 2009 at the age of 27. I ran windows, played lots of games, wasted a lot of my time and finally delved back into the Linux world by installing Mint alongside my Windows installation. That was in 2020. The next day, the COVID lockdowns were announced. Then my system wouldn’t boot into either Windows or Linux. The day after that, my internet was disconnected because Spectrum is one of the worst ISP companies ever. All I had was a usb with a Mint live system. I had also gotten my first smartphone the month prior and because Verizon is one of the worst phone companies ever, I was unable to tether my data plan, which was heavily throttled anyways and effectively useless. Learning Linux without internet access or having any friends interested in Linux or computers in general, is not something I would recommend to anyone.
September of 2021 I finally decided to ‘defenestrate fenestra’ or ‘throw windows out of the window’ and switched fully to Linux. My year of Linux I will say was 2024. That is the year I built a new computer, the third computer I’ve built and the third computer I’ve owned. The computer I’m using to type this out. I have not had to change distros or reinstall since then and being self taught in computers, having never held a job in IT, having a developmental disorder, being well below the poverty line my entire life and being someone who has attended college 5 times and dropped out 5 times due to either poverty or disability, it feels pretty good. I am still light years away in knowledge compared to many but it feels good to be able to know what my computer is doing and know that I did it myself.
I still will randomly ‘stat /’ just to see the birthday. “Birth: 2024-02-05 04:54:20.000000000 -0500”. I don’t know if the time showing all those zeros is normal and I don’t care. I’m a month away from my second year with this machine and I am very proud of it.
Why did I type this huge and personal story without being asked? The answer might be the same answer to your question of ‘why did I post this in Linux memes?’
Because someone out there might read it and it might be what they need to give them that courage to finally make the switch themselves. Seeing stories like these with people who feel comfortable using Linix despite the various problems which might accompany them.
Anyways, because this is Linuxmemes, I should mention that I use an Arch derivative, BTW.
I can draw a circle in GIMP too. Like 4 different ways.
Yes ladies, I’m single.
Others mentioned that it sounds hardware related. That reminded me that you should visually inspect all ports, especially unused ones. I had a system locking up constantly once and it turned out to be from debris in a usb port on one of the monitors was causing a short. It’s something that wont necessarily cause logged errors and can cause seemingly random behaviour that will have one chasing problems that don’t exist. USB ports and DVI plugs especially can be hard to notice with how they are constructed. Audio jack holes too. Make sure there’s no breaks in any cords. It seems too simple to be true and then it happens and you feel foolish for not having thought of it.
