As utilitarian as pyjamas are, not everyone finds them to be in good taste.

rsync -a ftw

I still miss vape nation era H3. Really sad to watch them slowly start to exhibit the type of behaviour old Ethan would have definitely called out.

There’s a kiosk-style compositor called cage that would work, at least for your main concern.

Then maybe use waypipe over ssh to do your work in the background. Alternatively, you can research setting up a multi-seat display manager, but I think you would need at least 2 GPUs to implement that properly.

I think I agree. Still in the period when facebook’s userbase was mostly teenagers, and before smartphones became ubiquitous.

In my opinion it was facebook buying instagram in early 2012 that signalled the beginning of the end. Of course they were only following in the footsteps of google and yahoo before them, but it was the first domino in the enshittification of social media specifically.

Don’t let your memes be dreams! Just a few more decades of smoking and you might be able to collect all the health conditions irl too

I wouldn’t trust the analysis either; luckily most PKGBUILD scripts are quite short and simple. It would take significantly less effort to hand-audit every single file I’ve gotten from the AUR than it would to reinstall Arch.

The gutenprint package might have the driver you need. Otherwise, the AUR is your best option.

Sterling Archer.

I thought Mark Kurlansky sounded familiar so I just looked and yup, he wrote Salt: a World History. I adore that book, but I haven’t really looked into any of his other work yet. What else would you recommend by him?

We used internet comments as one of the ingredients.

Subscribed/New most of the time, but I check All/Active every once in a while to see if there’s any drama going on.

Sometimes I’ll hit All/Scaled when I’m really desperate.

I’m getting an “owner of the dimmsdale dimmadome” vibe

Maybe it’s a form of male birth control? I don’t imagine an array of IR lasers delicately roasting your nuts would benefit fertility.

Maybe not fraudulent since you are getting what you pay for most of the time. But I do agree, 99% of commerce is bullshit in some way or another.

I recently came across a term that describes my feelings on the matter pretty well: it’s landfill-core. Our economy depends on people buying new shit, but in order to have that happen without people’s homes turning into mountains of useless clutter, we have to constantly be throwing away old shit. So it seems to me the purpose of this whole economy thing is to expend tons of energy producing and transporting all kinds of shit, so that it can take a brief detour through somebody’s home on the way to the landfill.

Like, the majority of human productivity goes into extracting resources that just get buried again somewhere else, if not immediately set on fire.

If you’re not part of the solution…

In my cursory search of the web, it does not appear that gnome-software is available on mint, unless you fancy mucking around with PPAs and such. But there is good news!

Mint uses a desktop environment called Cinnamon, which is installable on arch-based systems and should be listed as an option in the CachyOS installer. And you can install the gnome-software package on top as well.

I rarely use planes, but I usually see them flying overhead multiple times a day.

Planes are a good answer. Commercial jets normally fly at about 900km/h.

Also satellites. Something in low earth orbit like the ISS or a starlink node would be going about 8km per second.

Hell yeah, feed an LLM enough fairy tales and abra cadabra, rhyming becomes a form of magic irl.
