I cannot even tell apart many videos now.

I probably got something like that. I am not really into minimal installs, kde-applications-meta and plasma-meta is what I go with. Absolutely everything.

I just wish I could safely use KDE Discover for updates. That’s probably what would work with “apply updates on reboot”, which sounds like the safest option. But for some reason packagekit-qt6 which would (probably) make this possible is not recommended to use.

Preferably I’d go with something like KDE Neon or Kubuntu. I just really like KDE. But there’s just no sweet spot for me. Arch gives me new packages with all the bugs. Each update feels scary, what will I discover. Based on my Timeshift notes, last point without major bugs was 31st of October. Something like Linux Mint was stable, but I was missing some newer packages, and even drivers when my laptop was new. And major version upgrades also feel scary. Although, I don’t even know how they work. This is where Arch makes more sense to me. Linux as desktop OS is really just a huge bunch of packages working together, and they slowly get updated. When packaged into an entire OS, how do you even define a version?

Am I the only one using memtest after every time I handle RAM?

Until it does not.

Interesting. I thought it was more like in Czech Republic. Buy a prepaid SIM, put it into phone, it activates with the first call and there you go.
When I checked one from T-Mobile, name and surname get automatically pre-filled in the personal data card, as “Anonym Anonym”, that is.

Why? Isn’t it usual for prepaid in the US already?

Just $4/month bro, $4 isn’t much bro, it’s just another small subscription bro.

Thankfully I don’t even trust TPM, so I just use regular passphrase unlock. This has added benefit of password expiration if unused (I will forget it eventually).

I don’t think I’ve ever used that much mobile data.

I only use mobile data, but…
My record so far is 591GB in a month.
Last month I used 451GB, this month (since Nov. 16th) I am so far at 347GB.

When I was trying Gentoo I very much didn’t forget, I went I want them all. But I ended at my first attempt. It was bootable, but I was missing network drivers, and on old Core 2 Duo the compilation already took 3 days.

It is real, if you don’t believe me

High pitched noises sometimes. I have an audio spectrum visualizer app installed to confirm these. But they can be pretty weird as they bounce around. You’ll get these heat spots. Unfortunately, I feel like my ears are degrading now.

Anyway, dimmable LED lights are often a problem due to PWM. Only full brightness is quiet.

Smell, I don’t even know what the hell that was. There is or was something in the back of one bus. I wouldn’t say it’s smell, but… something. Just a spicy punch that doesn’t quite let me breathe in. I noted down the license plate if I’ll experience it again to confirm it’s the same vehicle, but this wasn’t the first time, though unfortunately I didn’t copy it that first time. Same line though, so possibly same vehicle as well.
But I am not sure if I was the only one, no one was visibly bothered, but who knows.

Now that’s something I must try.

And a hell of a good one. Adults will have already passed through education, so we would save on that part.

Yeah, especially since I know I likely wouldn’t play it much.
On the other hand, if it was free (also as in money) and open-source, and I liked it, I could donate. Although I don’t have much money, so probably just smaller amounts, better than the 0 I do right now by not gaming instead.
For example, I absolutely wouldn’t pay $9.60 for Binary Eye (barcode/2D code scanner app) if it cost that much, but as a donation that was fine.

Well, I could make an exception for games on physical media. I like it, and it has resale value.

Cisco coming up with ARF and WRF to make that false.

OK, here’s a somewhat famous case of email that could only be sent within something over 500 miles, but no further: https://web.mit.edu/jemorris/humor/500-miles

Touch it until it works, then never again while it still does.
