I agree, especially don’t cheap out on the mask, that stuff will fuck up your lungs real good.
Avid PC gamer, Linux convert, SCP fan.
Love Science Fiction, Cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic settings; Fan of the games of the defunct Arkane Studios. Listening to (Power-, Speed-, Thrash-)Metal, Gothic, Deathrock, EBM, Vaporwave, Lo-Fi; Classic and Musicals are fine too. Can’t stand Hip-Hop.
Owned by two cats, recently divorced, blessed with a personality disorder (AVPD) - pensioned (even the state has the opinion I’m a total wreck lol). This causes me to be unable to keep up personal connections and makes me ghost literally everyone, so if it happens to you, sorry in advance.
Chronically online.
Pro GenAI, but Anti-GenAI-Corpos; this technology should be available to everyone, which would only be fair since we all contributed to it. Datasets and Models should be under the jurisdiction of UNESCO, since they are literally the distilled cultural output of humanity.

My 2 cents: She was 11 when the movie was shot - it’s one thing to replace a 16 year old with a 18 year old actor, even with a similar story, but there is not one 18 (or even 16) year old you could put into that role and say it’s still the same movie. The psychological impact of being confronted with literally a child’s body in this context is not comparable in my opinion.


Personal experience: yes, the medication they put me on when i was suicidal and stayed at a psychiatric ward numbs you emotionally, which would also mean that the emotional response to awful news is very muted. I did not feel nothing, but it’s a bit like the effect of noise cancelling headphones, but for emotions.
I was not happy about that at that time, but it made functioning and working in therapy a hell of a lot easier compared to the dumpster fire of emotions i had to deal with before that.
And everyone reacts differently to bad news - damn, when my sister was in an car accident where she got pretty hurt, her first reaction was to laugh her ass off, and then hurling abuse at the medics during the whole ambulance ride.


Sad that they don’t mail stuff, i’d need a few household items currently, and if they were star trek themed, well that would be awesome.


I’ve seen doorways, but no arches :-(


I am already prepared by having about 20TB Fitgirl Releases, and a complete collection of NES/SNES/GBA/NDS/Mega Drive/SegaCD/PSX/PS2 games.
which reminds me that i still have to get the PS2 games in a format where i can play them without rummaging through giant archives urgh


Yeah, he’s still in campaign mode, and that won’t change until power has officially transferred over. Also, since the media landscape is still very much in Orbans hands, he probably wanted to avoid giving them ammunition. To be honest, this is the hardest part to fix - i don’t have many ideas except of nationalizing all of Orbans media - which is more than 90% - and then reprivatization afterwards.


anarchist.nexus is a piefed-instance in the anarchist flotilla.

A very important lesson is hidden in this article:
Of the other two ridings, the Bloc Québécois is in an extremely tight race with the Liberals in Terrebonne, Quebec. The Liberals won it by just one vote in the last federal election, but the result was overturned by Canada’s supreme court because of a misprint on a voter’s envelope.
If ANY side had seen only one more person voting, everything might have been different! Never think that your vote isn’t important.
The last part seldom is an issue for me, since i like my lyrics understandable, even if a substantial number of them might exceed the length of a telenovela-script lol
There are a few exceptions, but even those are more on the understandable side compared to how i expect a band named “Mating Wolverines” sounds - it IS an awesome bandname tho!


After reading the article, i had long lost count of how many people she had killed, poisoned, accused of witchcraft, accused of conspiracy, exiled, forced to commit suicide and so on - and that was BEFORE she became officially empress, which led to her cranking it up to 11 with a secret police that did not fuck around and installation of postboxes where people could denounce each other. Other rulers for sure learnt a thing or two from her.


Lol Biden is old, but not THAT old


There is the hypothesis floating around that he didn’t say anything about LGBTQ in general to make him palatable to as many voters as possible, which was a success. But he seems a lot more socially liberal than Orban, and wants to position closer to the EU, so a normalization and realignment of the laws with the larger EU Space is what i would expect, probably after restoring a functioning judiciary which he will need to fix the widespread corruption.


Even Moscow proclaimed they were never friends with Orban lol
But it’s the same issue Biden faced where he couldn’t even trust the Secret Service, or Germany after WW2 - you can’t really discern who was just keeping their head down and who was a true believer, except if there is material evidence. Magyar already announced that he will partner up with EU institutions to deal with the widespread corruption, and i think that outside view will be a valuable help it attaining that goal.
Maybe it would be easier to dissolve the state and start from a clean slate - but even then you couldn’t be sure that the people you take in for their know-how aren’t guilty as well, potentially setting yourself up for a few not so nice surprises.
This gatekeeping shit has always annoyed me while i was active in the goth and metal scene (which was and probably still is pretty small here, so the two tend to mix a lot).
I do only care about what shirt you wear as a global cue what style of music you might like or i like the design and artwork. The rest is really not that important.
I like a few bands where i would be hard pressed to name songs, because i only know them from streaming recommendations, which i only use while on the road; I might mark the band as a favorite, and some months later i go through my faves, check if they are still to my liking, and if they are, i make them available offline - that’s the point where i start learning album/track names.


“piss up a rope” is an expression i haven’t heard yet, it’s mine now :-)


The whine about removing X11 is pretty annoying. Fedora has done the same, and the impact of doing so seems to be pretty small; Xwayland provides the compatibility layer needed, and Nvidia driver issues have been pretty much eliminated.
The sudo change is a design choice and from an accessibility point of view a positive thing - people having problems with typing on a keyboard will probably welcome the change to make it visible when they properly hit a key.
But i can get behind the rest of the critique - an LTS release shouldn’t have feature incomplete and standard-ignoring core utils, and the audio dependency on snap is bordering on publicly taunting snap opponents. Also, an LTS probably shouldn’t opt for a bleeding edge kernel. And what is the reason for the (for a linux distribution) pretty high RAM requirements?
If someone asks me for an recommendation for linux newbies, i will probably go with fedora (or nobara if they game much). It’s been rock solid for me, easy to use for a newbie, and still gives you all the freedom you want if you are an advanced user.


I misread that, but it seems i am not the only one :-) We can agree on Electron being a lazy way of providing a program - I’ll excuse it if it’s a small game from a single dev, but everyone else should do it the right way.
although microsoft even stole winget :-(
