Yes I did mean punished. Specifically whipped, in fact. With brake cables.
What’s wrong with my values ???

You really want a tribe of Truth-Speaking Warrior Dolphins…? because I do. In all seriousness, yes please, fund the sciences

Is this a computer in a keyboard ? Staggering beauty. Magnificient arrow keys

Possessive pronouns. Adjectives are a different thing, and there are no possessive adjectives

This is the handsomest piece of analog gear I have ever seen. Absolute peak max sexiness, holy shite

An “autonomous” car cannot be held accountable, therefore an “autonomous” car should never fucking go near a freeway

Earth’s Children book 2, and Earth’s Children book 3. A marriage of nightmares

I wanna balance two sticks on a single stick

No dying till this is done

Damn reading your message made me want to take revenge and I wasn’t even wronged that much

sorry ?

I think corruption is inevitable. I’m going to do a whataboutism, sorry about that- but look at our current political systems. It’s corruption all the way up. How could it even get worse?

You can still own things under a communism as envisioned by Marx

Sure but that’s true of anything. However there is a theory of communism. You can, and should, weigh the various implementations against this theory

Just for the sake of the anecdote, I just discovered that in KDE Plasma, you can put a taskbar anywhere you like, including vertically, resize it, and even rotate it at an arbitrary angle! it’s pretty much useless… but you can

So, I settled on Nobara (Plasma desktop) almost week ago now. Besides my troubles with Wacom tablet (it happens with all distros I tried, no solution so far), it’s all good. The OS isn’t constantly nagging me about something. It doesn’t lie about not restarting when I ask it to hold off -and consequently lose no work because of it. There is no random ad on the login screen. No web results sorted to appear first when I type to search for a local file or command. I can disable stuff I don’t use, such as window animations, etc. No shovelware like one-fucking-drive or some LLM butler taking up room, ram, and mental health.

All in all, I feel weirdly at peace when using this machine. It’s just a tool that’s succeeding in getting out of the way.

The only downside is I can’t use the Affinity suite, but besides that… perfect
