@antigermgerm lmao me too. I’m still depressed
But because I’m also autistic, my momentary fixations seem to be exempt from depression penalty. Right now I’m fixated on making a perfect GNU/Linux setup amidst moving away from everything Apple.
I used to tell that it’s either Ubuntu or LFS. I considered everything in between the worst of both worlds.
Well, I tried Ubuntu. It’s passable, but now as I tasted what’s modern GNU/Linux is capable of in customization and UX department, perhaps it’s time for LFS.

@sandeepbalan bliss

@antigermgerm but does normal vim support mouse?

@kobenz I always thought lua was hip

@Demolishun lions though? Natural fear of lions should be hardwired into humans by the natural evolution herself. How stupid do you have to be to do something like that? You ignored all the signals that mother nature have sent you!

@Demolishun reminds me of that one video where some guy put his hand into a bear cage. Didn't end well.

@antigermanist no, it's certain non-specific liquid that may or may not be yellow and may or may not be transparent, that also may or may not be very sought after by a certain devrant user from the most populated country in the world that used to use Sanskrit in the past, then gained independency from the uk

@antigermanist not mine, mind you, but someone else’s, another devrant user to be exact

@lorentz I would argue that they choose the distribution method that earns them the most money

@lorentz not interested huh? Then why VSCode is distributed in a dev-friendly manner?

@Lensflare guess who else is thinking about this very liquid

@jestdotty and Sid's avatar is green... all checks out!

@Demolishun the lore is that he wanted @MammaNeedHummus to ship him a bottle of her pee

I wonder the same thing every time. Also, think about all the offices... all the people... what are they all doing? If I visit an office building of a company that has more than 500 engineers, randomly go to a guy's desk and ask what is he doing right now, chances are what he does is useless, if he can tell what he's doing at all. Most of them will just be like "uhhhh I'm not sure"

all of that is just a facade. all those frameworks, all those useless jobs... we just need to keep the economy going, that's all. people have to spend money, thus they need the money to spend. if we introduce universal basic income, companies will find a way to overturn/circumvent that. So, we need to make it less obvious.

you're living inside a huge, never-ending ritual of thinly spreading big sums of money that were earned by exploiting slaves in places where slavery is the norm, or the environment, or both. after capitalists themselves took large part of that money that is

@tosensei isn't that Poe's "parody of extremism is indistinguishable from extremism"?

@tosensei alright, you got me. Perhaps I went too far and too obvious with "backup is not a backup".

@tosensei it doesn't! If I delete data manually from one drive by connecting it alone, and not from the virtual drive that abstracts both real drives, raid will put the data back

@tosensei but that's exactly my point — raid 1 is working, working as a backup that is

@tosensei but if I delete something from one drive in raid 1 array it doesn't get deleted from the other drive either

@tosensei by this logic, delete all your files on your backup drive. Boom, they’re gone. Backup is not a backup

@antigermanist one comment, three bullets. ouch.

@lorentz just don’t buy a car

@jestdotty you can move to one of those paradise counties free from government regulations, like Zimbabwe

@iiii I have unlimited GPT-4.5 tokens. I can vibe-code this thing if I want to.

@tosensei but I want to boot from usb drive to install that one funny file that improves fps in tiktok!

@Lensflare wait, I can, if I write BIOS UI in Electron! If I find a way to intergrate user tracking code there somehow, I can raise funds, and we can strong-arm motherboard manufacturers into increasing their bios storage size to 64 gb (minimum for running Electron in 2025). Then, we'll install Electron BIOS everywhere, and boom, I can copy-paste-google from bios! Yay!

@Lensflare but I can't copy-paste-google from bios, dang it!

@antigermgerm except when it's war

@antigermgerm but can you get shot eight separate times and still be alive?

@devJs it's where north pole comes from, probably
