It really is amazing how I can mess up Linux installs for the weirdest of reasons.

Install arch from scratch on a laptop? Now it either doesn’t go to sleep when you close the laptop or a kernel panick.

Manjaro? Edited the config for the touchpad (of course it’s a random config file that you have to change line by line and read 3 wiki pages for, because Linux) because it doesn’t feel like windows and ran updates from the built in manager within the os. Now it doesn’t boot at all and causes the boot logo to ghost while using windows 10 installed on another partition.

Pop_os? Worked mostly fine, used it for months, broke it only once when using the built in package manager somehow fixed it, but stopped using that laptop and now I can’t boot into it at all.

Not to mention all of the software that partially doesn’t work or work at all. Like, my personal choice for image editing is paint.net, it’s not a useless meme like MS Paint, but also isn’t the equivalent of using a bucket wheel excavator for digging a hole in your backyard like Gimp. It also doesn’t work on Linux at all

Also, I’d say that odds also favour places that nobody really gives a shit about, like sure, US, UK, China, Russia, large parts of Europe, and North Korea are probably guaranteed to be nuclear craters, but I doubt that any of the missiles are pointed at Africa or most of South America

Not to mention just randomly scrolling in public and whoops, it’s a random porn clip brought to you by lemmynsfw

Specific forums for certain things are still the best.

I have an Aprilia motorcycle from 1999, and the Aprilia forum has 20 years of info, discussion, and advice on that specific motorcycle.

It is also a bit surreal seeing someone reply to my question and see that they joined the forum itself back when I was less that 1 years old.

Yep, that’s the first place where I saw something like that

I don’t even know what’s the point of that thing

Can confirm, I bought my speaker wire second hand and the stuff is probably like at least 30 years old and sounds fine

Does kiwifarms.cc even exist anymore? I remember hanging out there while the main site was under maintenance, but it seems to have gone offline since then

Rules are rules and if you don’t follow them, the country doesn’t want you.

It’s a different conversation when you talk about the consequences of such policies, but that’s what the country decided and those are the rules.

Then too bad, I don’t have an option to fly into space, yet you won’t see me trying to glue myself to the next rocket that SpaceX launches.

For me everything is based on how they get there and how they conduct themselves.

I have been an immigrant to several countries and I still am, but

I had all of the proper paperwork,

I didn’t sneak across any borders illegally,

I didn’t overstay my visas,

I didn’t pay some guy on a boat to bring me there,

I didn’t commit any crimes that are worse than jaywalking,

I didn’t get clumped together with other people from my country and try to impose my values on the citizens of the country I was in,

I didn’t do any under the table work,

I paid all of my taxes.

These are the thing that I expect from others as well.

I kinda hate that tho

Well, Latvia, but don’t let that ruin your gotcha moment

Nah, I have seen the things that the Russians have done and the damn joke that they call society that enabled those things to happen, they can honestly go and fuck themselves.

I’m just sitting here and waiting for Kremlin to be bombed and/or the Russian state to collapse
