Have got Debian on an old thinkpad too because it is too under resourced to compile everything. I think Debian is amazing for a solid, reliable distro if you have weak hardware.

I use Gentoo and I love it. The installation process is a bit more complex than Arch but it doesn’t have to be if you choose the precompiled kernel.

The package management is extremely flexible and the community are great. I have a morning routine where I log onto my gentoo desktop before work and update everything; would compare it to raking one of those miniature buddhist sand gardens. Very theraputic!

Yeah pretty much agree, would just say “drugs” as a catch-all here.

Had to scroll quite far down to find a non-wholesome answer! Everyone else is enjoying being a parent or whatever.

There’s a theory that the boneless person who is just skin, with a pained expression on his face, in the Sistine Chapel is a self-portrait of Michaelangelo. He painted it under extremely challenging circumstances at one point the Pope beat him with a switch because it was taking too long in his opinion.

I think he’s just good at self-promotion through coming out with these provocative - and completely arbitrary - takes to stay in the media.

I guess a silver lining here is that he must be good at negotiating if he managed to free that monster.

31, assume the same

I’m also from the UK but from what I could tell at least Pete has some personality. Kamala ran as the establishment manifested in human form, clumsily avoiding questions or policy details in media appearances. She was polling at 4% of popularity amongst democrat voters during the 2020 primaries. I think those factors were more influential than her being a woman,

I think Pete Butigeg would have been a stronger candidate.

Ironically if she’d chosen Shapiro as a running mate then she’d have had a better chance of holding PA. However reports at the time suggested she didn’t want to risk upsetting the left by choosing a Jewish running mate.

This kind of thing is infuriating. Especially when the actual etymology of “blacklist” is a 17th century play where a list of nobles scheming against the British monarchy is described as a blacklist.

Yeah the Manjaro devs have a long history of gaffes not to mention the infamous one with PGP keys requiring users to reset their system clock

Persona 3 OST for me

A lot of what makes Hereditary so good is the references to earlier films like Rosemary’s Baby. Horror is a genre that is in a constant dialogue with itself, and often horror films either subvert or adhere to what has come before.

The Substance might be the best film according to the critical/audience consensus. Personally did think it was very good but I might have enjoyed Alien Romulus more subjectively as a big fan of that franchise.

Longlegs was style over substance for me. I think it does tell quite an engaging story about childhood trauma but the dialogue in the 2nd half does a lot of undermine all the good build up.

Still Wakes The Deep was a fun Lovecraftian horror from this year. Unique setting on a North Sea oil rig with an authentic Scottish cast. Also didn’t overstay its welcome at roughly 4 hours length; I believe it’s on GamePass.

He’s a weirdo on mastodon too tbh. Very keen on blocking, no real interactions aside from self promotion.

Typically I don’t use a DE. I’ll go for dmenu + dwm usually if I only want a WM. I find the default bindings and behaviour for the tiling is the most ergonomic when comparing it to other WMs like i3.

When I do have to get a DE setup then I’ll use XFCE because I like how it stays out of the way and I find it easy to customise.

Hey wait a minute I resemble this strawman

Personally quite like reading things in other languages, just like a paragraph or so, and then checking my comprehension afterwards with an online translator. Only really partially works for Western European languages though!
