Get Nitro!!! /s

Kde connect has some odd issues with routers, I’m suspecting the network swapping from 2.4g to 5g.

Wartime. Don’t know why the hell they didn’t remove it.

Reminds me of AITA? (am I the asshole?) posts that either felt incredible or just posted as ragebait for farming karma.

Ok that’s evil.

I always recall Bose for their high quality almost ‘vintage’ devices, and they should encourage their newer digital devices to become the old high quality devices that still work, sitting in someone’s home.

I think getting the base DE and ‘adding modules’ (extensions) is great. And some distros like Bazzite add around 10+ extensions by default.

This. I find that most extensions don’t break as gnome isn’t making radical upgrades.

He strove for power and renown. Points 1-3 didn’t trigger him, they were excuses to become the evil he was fated to become.

He had his redemption arc but that was something like when he was in his 40s or 50s and reaching the twilight of his life, and knowing that Luke may well kill and replace him. Seeing Luke sacrifice himself instead, moved what little good (or more accurately, moral principles) was left in Anakin.

In terms of alignment, Anakin was always Lawful Evil imo. My interpretation is that he was swayed by the strength of Luke’s adherence to the light side and his almost complete sacrifice. I don’t think it was really motivated by love.

Ah my mistake, I must’ve installed it shortly after installing CachyOS.

I have a specific use case for CachyOS but I see two categories:

1. Bazzite, not intending to use the terminal much. Also less frequent updates which ought to be very stable. Atomic.
2. CachyOS, using the terminal and frequent updates. Rolling, and good support base.

Both use flatpaks which will keep apps sandboxed. A lot of users don’t seem to like snaps being pushed by Ubuntu so flatpak is the big choice.

I’m a teacher and I make Linux work for me. Open doc formats get converted to pdf for the shitty windows 7 running the printer in the printing room, and the Android/Windows only app for communications I just run on my phone. PPTs run fine. When there was a problem with the projector, ‘IT guy’ went to my laptop, got confused (it’s Gnome), I told him not to interfere with it because it’s Linux. He proceeded to say ‘Ah, not working because it’s not windows.’ Later that day he actually came to fix the cable to the projector.

I love seeing you pop in with tidbits of Chinese wisdom

Oh that’s actually funnily enough the most applicable 2nd person mechanic.

Ultimate ring of fire

Rickrolled half way through ha.

What we are witnessing is the near-complete isolation of the soul from the truth of everything. We are at the densest stage of evolution, stuck in material bodies and unable to look beyond them. What we see today is the perfect manifestation of it. We will (live) die with so much understanding of it.

I can see my phone in bright sunlight, not sure why it would need to be any brighter except to be brighter than every other phone. On another note, imagine picking up your phone after sleeping and it’s accidentally on manual max brightness. Ha!

Even as a teacher you don’t visibly punish a child in class; you talk to them during recess in a calm sat down one to one moment. For police to turn up, that’s next level savage that will remain in that child’s memory for the rest of their life.

Edit: I am a teacher and punishment or admonishment right in the heat of the moment destroys every bit of confidence the child has in you. Let them sleep on it and then address it reflectively with the teacher and principal with discretion.
