This reminds me of an excerpt in David Graeber’s “Bullshit Jobs”, where he quotes a sailor from like, the East India Company or something.
Something along the lines of “Many suspect the monkeys of the island can speak, but wisely choose not to, knowing they would be taught English and put to work.”
Haha yeah I always thought it was like the Japanese or Portuguese “Ne?” , or British “In’nit?”
It’s like a statement followed by a “You agree too, right?” Lol
I’ve gotten comfortable with Jerboa, but also I don’t get to see GIFs and stuff people post, and I’m not sure if that’s a limitation of the app? I really should try some of the others though.
It’s like leaving cookies and milk out for Adam Jensen or J.C Denton ❤️ lol
Freaking PREACH.
It makes me so sad how people are trying to ProGamer420$69 min-max munchkin-build their way through socializing or finding someone who will go out with them, or they treat dating like the stock market…or any kind of “market.”
“I need to get a girlfriend/boyfriend” is a phrase that immediately signals the wrong mentality, and apps and services are all too willing to jump in and perpetuate this cycle of ignorance and desperate loneliness.
I’m not sure what this is but my first reaction was “Wow what an unsettling sketch of that ‘We Are Number One’ meme.”
When you discuss condiments on BobIsTheOilGuy.com.
What a fantastic awareness campaign for Luanti!
…And on the slim chance you got past that hurdle…

Ummm…
“Arch users about to update without reading the news page”
How’d I do? Lol
I’m definitely not an expert, but yeah that’s kinda the case.
Basically Mint will update core packages and security updates and such, but when Canonical gets another “bright idea” for Ubuntu like opt-out telemetry, or amazon results in search, or proprietary packaging formats (Snaps)…
…Mint will basically just leave that stuff out, and it never reaches the users.
Maybe a comparison could be like one of those “Debloated Windows” OSs with Classic Shell that actually works and isn’t super hacky. :D
the democrats have ignored their voters like this and sided with the republicans.

I love 3D art, and I want to make games eventually. I remember using my cracked copy of 3D Studio MAX to experiment and try things “just to see real quick!” when I was supposed to be doing more boring homework like report writing.
I even kept my obsession after a community college semester with the most joy-killing professor on the subject you could ever meet.
I dropped out of college because of life and found Blender, and kept learning as much as I could because I thought it was my ticket to a real job that didn’t involve “How may I help you?” every single day. It was going to be my way out.
Well, just a year or so ago I FINALLY got paid to do a freelance character sculpt. And…It took way longer than I hoped, I hammered on it like every single day, and I haven’t touched Blender since wrapping that project.
I really want to get back to modeling, but it made me realize I definitely don’t want to be an “industry” 3D artist making stuff to someone else’s exacting specifications for money. I still would love to sell a game on Steam or something some day.
…But I put a lot of skill points into these skills already, following what I love…so I’m kinda lost. Business and work is a realm that just makes me nauseous and anxious to think about as the water keeps rising, so to speak.
So I guess I’m saying: don’t make the thing you love your lifeline to surviving capitalist society, because unless that thing is “making money”, doing it for money or clientelle chokes the joy out of most human endeavors.
As a PC Linux gamer I hear you…I really do, but listen…I really just wanna stick something Steambox-esque on my face and finally have a smooth open source VR experience.
I’m really looking forward to that.
And I know when they announce it, it’ll probably be way out of reach for me, but I’m still looking forward to it lol.
I remember that! Kids going down slides and playing with bottles that…looked like fish? O.o
I consider myself pretty knowledgeable with most computing tasks, not particularly great with basic spreadsheets, but unless there’s some kind of usable frontend to reliably manage a database, I mostly see databases as:
“A magic box that holds tons of cryptic information, would be tedious to open, risky to edit, risky to backup or migrate or update, and could corrupt at any moment.”
Maybe I should put more effort into learning DBs besides initializing them in a Docker compose and praying, but for human readable information that’s meant to be shared, I think you’re bang on the money when it comes to why spreadsheets are still so popular!
This was awesome when it was just me and my family in a hospital waiting room with like a few other folks who were doing their own thing. The TV just blasting ads and maybe some talk show or something, as it does.
Boop. Lowered the volume and could finally hear myself think.
Felt Watchdogs AF lol.
There’s your “Loading screen game tip” for today lol.
