Short version is that I expected nerd skills to be required but I was surprised that shit just worked, even my network printer. I even preferred the graphical tools to configure the system and install software instead of the command line. Desktop on Linux has come a really long way.

I have the opposite experience. Last time I tried Linux for daily desktop use was ten years ago and it was so fickle and cumbersome that I went back to Windows and terminals and x-server on virtual machines for my dev needs. A few weeks ago I got a new convertible laptop, hated Windows 11 with passion enough to do the plunge again, prepared to be cursing that shit ain’t up to shit. But… It just worked. Hardware support out of the box. Some quirks obviously but nothing deal breaking. I’m used to containerization on servers and I’ll be damned but Flatpaks are effing awesome. Even Windows games run perfectly. It. Just. Works. I’m almost expecting the entire thing to literally blow up in my face with shards of hope and OLED panel because, you know, Linux desktop experiences of the past. Fingers crossed. Maybe this is the future after all.

Edit 2: Forgot to mention that I tried PopOS first that did not just work out of the box. Or well it seemed to at first but then it got complicated. Fedora was my saviour.

Good thing it wasn’t in Belgium.

Funny how your post history says you’re Indian and Israeli and now from a Islamist country and probably even more for someone bothered to read any further.

One might suspect you’re just a big stinky sack of lies and hatred. Days and weeks and months and years spent on lies and hatred online.

That is one sad life, my dude. 🖤

The literal opposite of what people¹ want then. Give me back the €5 no ads, no yt music and no off app viewing and I will consider enabling the app and remove the YouTube adblockers in my browser.

¹ People as in me. I am at least one people.

Now explain brothel.

My brain insists on telling me so several times a day so nowadays I just roll with it.

The post is about not letting it happen in the EU.

I do here in Sweden despite there is no need. Mostly because it is the convenient place in my kitchen.

Heh. Back in my youth in the 1990s I used dated slang ironically and now it is part of my daily vocabulary. Neither myself or anybody else can tell if it is ironic or not. Now I’m just a middle aged man speaking in a weird capitol city dialect in the second largest city, which by the locals is a crime on its own.

This reminds me of the Lonely Funeral Project in The Netherlands where a poet has taken upon himself to say words at funerals where nobody has claimed the deceased.

Not the same thing. The complete sentence in English would be “do you want to frolic with me?”, which in Finnish is mashed together in a single word as the example given above. The chaining is something like “frolic-aimlessly-us-youwanna?”, though not by words but by endings.

The problem with launching nuclear waste with a rocket is that you’re shooting an enormous dirty bomb and hoping it will make it out of the atmosphere. One single incident and we’ve got an environmental disaster of unprecedented scale and we’ll be lucky if the fallout is restricted to a single continent.

One aspect of punishment is retribution for the victims when there is nothing else and another is to keep people that are harmful away in order to keep other people safe.

Here in Sweden we have a current massive problem with organized crime that are now systematically abusing our criminal justice system that is built on humanitarian ideals for rehab and protecting suspects and criminals rights to the absurd. So yes, in those cases I think punishment will do. Cynically abusing protection measures of society deserves punishment. It may not change those individuals for the life they have chosen for themselves but it will keep them out of making even more damage to society and violent crime against individuals and I honestly see no problem in harsh consequences for their own decisions.

Stardew Valley! It was worth the $5 already in vanilla, then it got updated with more content at no extra charge and then again. And now 1.6 is around the corner with even more. It is the love child of one dev that keeps on giving and giving and giving. And there are tons of mods of all kinds including entire world overhauls that adds even more replayability. Very much recommended.

I do home-brewing as a hobby so I guess I have cider and wine to enjoy the collapse of society and the end of the world as we know it tipsy enough to take the edge off.

For me, I came to think of my dog. I have joint custody of him. Every time he is with me it makes me happy. He makes me happy. I may be ill and exhausted but he makes it worthwhile to keep going. His unfiltered joy brings me joy. I treasure our moments together. Good boy is good.
