Yeah dude

Alacritty because I like how it handles bitmap fonts and I need bitmap fonts in my life.

Comrades, I sincerely apologize for any psychic damage taken from being exposed to my fellow countryman’s takes

imagine not knowing that the wrong side won the civil war

They would be funny as fuck if they weren’t real and doing harm to people. I understand where you’re coming from though.

Yep. The red-scare brainworms are deeply rooted here, every boy has to go to the military to prepare for the inevitable day the russians come. It hasn’t really been taken very seriously for as long as I’ve lived, at least. Until now, I guess. A funny little cultural rite of passage meme where 18-year-olds get to fuck around with their bros in the woods for half a year. But tbh I never went myself, so I don’t really know what you actually learn there.

“40 soldiers and an old tractor” is what I assume is the portion of the conscripts who are actually ready and willing to fight, and didn’t just go there because they were expected to.

Yeah I’m getting serious tiny poodle vibes. Going “let me at em bro I swear to god bro I’ll fuck em up bro you’re lucky i’m on this leash aaaabark bark bark barkbarkabrkbark” at a pack of swole bears or something. We have like 40 soliders and maybe an old tractor somewhere. It’s a god damn suicide cult.

Mint is cool, linux is cool, and you are cool too. Enjoy

It does yeah, but not for applications running in XWayland. For example, I’m running a secondary 4k monitor with 1.5x scaling so it matches the other 1440p monitor. For native wayland applications, everything works just fine, but running an XWayland application on the 4k monitor will make it render at 1440p and become a blurry nasty mess. In KDE it will render in proper 4k (as if it was native a Wayland window), because they’ve somehow worked around that issue.

KDE’s VRR and XWayland fractional scaling implementations are pretty dope. Wlroots pls

I was at a wedding once and some random cool dude who sat next to me used the term “historical materialism” so that seemed pretty obvious.

I haven’t actually. Or not like tried tried at least. I’ve been recommended to try it many times by all sorts of people, but I was always too much of a contrarian stemlord to give “that kind of hippie bullshit” an honest try. When I did try I gave up after fifteen seconds, probably because I hadn’t gotten my ADHD diagnosis yet, so just sitting around with only my thoughts was torture. Anyway I’ve had a good amount of brainworms extracted since then so I should probably give it a shot. Thanks!!

I’ve been unusually exhausted lately. Not like sleep-all-day-exhausted, more like mentally drained to the point I can only manage to play computer games or stare into a wall for six hours after work. Everything is overwhelming all the time, nothing excites me, and it’s all just a fuck. I sleep well enough (afaik), I take my ADHD meds every day, work isn’t super stressful, my diet is decent, I exercise a few times a week (though less than I used to), but still. I’m thinking it’s some kind of depression? Or maybe I’m on the verge of a burn out? I’ve dealt with both of those in my life, but those were both way worse. Maybe it’s just a tiny little depressive episode? I’ve never taken them, but could it be worth it to try and take antidepressants and see if it helps? Or just force myself to exercise more, at least a little bit every day? I’m gonna ask my therapist about this of course, but our next appointment is like a month away, so I figured I’d ask the second best option: hexbear.

I love arch and I’m incredibly biased, but here goes. I have used Arch exclusively for the past n years. All of the things you’ve mentioned will work great. The AUR absolutely rules. It’s rather similiar to Void in the sense that it’s a completely blank slate, so it’s going to be as unique an experience as you make it.

Arch is really stable and reliable as long as you don’t break it, really. Out of the handful of times I’ve fucked up my install, all of them have been my own fault. Fortunately Arch is (relatively) easy to fix: keep a live USB on hand and chroot into your physical drive with arch-chroot and unfuck whatever needs unfucking. I haven’t ever had to completely start over from scratch a single time. It’s a learning experience!

Go for it, I say. Try it in a VM beforehand if you gotta.

I wonder if he knows that the woman (Tove Jansson) who made the character in this ridiculous idiot’s avatar (Snusmumriken) was in an “intimate relationship” with another woman? Do you think he’d be upset if he knew that?

On today’s episode on Social Democracy is the Moderate Wing of Fascism: Finnish ex-prime minister Sanna Marin of the succdem party, beloved by all progressives, quits her job in politics and goes to work at the fucking motherfucking Tony Blair Institute for Global Change.

What can I even say? Disappointed but not surprised? Given the current state of finnish politics I can’t blame her for quitting, but damn girl, Ol’ Tony’s Warcrime Breakfast club? Really? I mean, I always disliked her politics, but gotta admit I got a little bamboozled by her progressive vibes, because she wasn’t a billion years old and seemed kind of down to earth and or a cool person to hang out with or whatever. Ugh, like a god damned liberal. Shame on me. When am I gonna learn? Never ever fucking believe a social democrat. I gotta re-read Rosa Luxemburg’s shit.

So far at my current job I’ve dealt with five different PMs.

The first one is really good. Used to be a dev. Big fuck-work-energy. They handle all the administrative bullshit that I don’t know or care about. They check in on the devs every now and then. Lots of constructive feedback and praise. They managed to make some kind of contract with the customer that pretty enabled me to do jack shit and get paid for it most of the time without anyone raising eyebrows.

The second one is good, pretty average PM. Used to be a dev themselves since the 90’s, so they understand the developer’s point of view. Easy to work with.

The third one is just kind of there. Handles the admin stuff and that’s it. The devs (i.e. I) do most of the interactions with the customer, since the PM doesn’t really know wtf the project is even about.

The fourth one isn’t even there. Sometimes I don’t even know if they’ve quit or what, because I never see or hear from them. The ultimate quiet quitter. Once they showed up to some friday afternoon function, said “sup?” chugged a beer and devoured a pizza in ten seconds (rolled it up and ate it like a burrito!!), and went home. My main inspiration, my number one career goal.

The fifth one was garbage though. Made all sorts of unrealistic promises to the customers and took it out on the devs when we couldn’t deliver in time. They quit at some point, and the project transfered to PM #1.

Yeah go for it. Try not to be too hardline if it stresses you out. My therapist told me a neat little thing a while ago when I was going through a similar lifestyle choice and felt like shit because I relapsed or whatever. They told me that instead of making the choice once and for all, you can always choose day-by-day. “Am I vegan today?” instead of “I am vegan.”

Remember! If you see someone shoplifting, you didn’t.
