The moment you get rid of the phone, you start turning into a sheep? Better hold onto mine then, I suppose.

Always remember to return your shopping cart after using it to move the bodies.

Why, it was just yesterday when I… oh, come to think of it, that was nearly a decade ago. Huh.

My cat: “You are a heated bed for me to nap on. If you even think about getting up, I will murder you.”

2h after sunset, eh? In summer when the sun doesn’t set, all my negative thoughts shall be valid! Woooo! (that’s actually some good advice you’re giving though)

In the settings, among the other character customization things. You should know this unless… did you press randomize in character creation? D: Please tell me you’ve at least turned off motion blur…

In general and if you don’t know the person you’re making the recommendation to, agreed. But I know several people I’d definitely recommend (and have recommended) Arch to as the first distro. Even just the installation process is so educational, it’s a worthy starting point, after some general youtube videos perhaps. If someone just wants to take Linux for a quick test drive, Arch definitely isn’t the way to go.

Although, I’ll admit I’m not sure how to describe the type of people I’d recommend it to. If their interest is less practical, and more theoretical. Or if they get really into their hobbies and like to tinker and poke at things to see what happens. Or if they just have an endless curiosity and need to understand. Surprisingly many people I know fall into these categories.

That was pretty much me when I first decided to try installing Arch… at 2am.

It’s interesting to look at graphs of animal populations and how those vary. Increasing population, using too many resources, shortage, population plummets, environment recovers, more resources for less animals, population starts rising again…

I suppose it’s somewhat arrogant to think humans above that. Although, we could be.

This whole “mixed reality experience” thing has me curious: do any of you just add imaginary images to your surroundings in your mind? Just by visualizing?

For example, I have several paintings on my walls that aren’t real, but look to me as if they were. I switch them up depending on mood, or just turn them off. Or just basic stuff like having words and numbers floating in front of me as an aid when doing math or planning?

Ah continuity, I like it!

I did always find those bird enthusiasts strange. As a side note, I wonder if there’s a conspiracy theory among birds about how humans are actually government surveillance drones…

Their true legacy will be their fabulous eyebrows which shall be remembered for thousands of years.

When I was done reading the comic, this is exactly the image I had in mind! Good thing I’m not the only pessimist around, I love it.

This gives me very strong Talos Principle vibes. I should try playing the sequel at some point…

Concookielations!

I just browse things for fun, mostly. I rarely have anything important to add, so I rarely even comment.

I did try making a few memes, but I don’t really have ideas for general memes. I only make memes for specific friends about some very specific thing they or I said or did, and those don’t really fit in here.

This little frog has sparked some joy. It shall get me through the next week or two.

Older houses definitely have them… but there was this trend at some point to renavate older houses and remove the oil heaters and fireplaces and wood heated saunas, and replace everything with electric ones. Why? No idea, trends are weird.

The couple of people I’ve got to try it out didn’t stick either. But after a few years, they are now switching some old laptops to Linux to keep using them. Which is quite nice to see! It makes me happy just to see people giving Linux a chance, but even happier when they actually get some benefit out of it.
