That was a surprisingly good sequel.

A woman once told me she worked in a club and when one of the regulars passed away, a bunch of them went to his funeral.

There’s certainly worse legacies one could leave, than having spread some wealth around while presumably having been respectful enough to be missed.

Nice! Thanks for sharing this analysis.

I thought our primary way of producing new Linux users was sexual reproduction and then indoctrination from birth…

Interesting. I would have guessed that Mint gave ChromeOS a run for it’s money, by now.

Yes. By the porn stats, Linux already crushes ChromeOs. Let’s not take any advice from it.

I’m not sure Grandma and Grandpa would want a steam machine as a replacement for their aging Windows 7 home computer.

Fair. But for my gram, it would have been a slam dunk day one buy. She loved her playstation and only tolerated her PC. She would have called a Steam Machine “my game console that can check email” and would have adored it.

There’s a delightful DC Comics Elseworlds story that amounts to this. It was fun.

Sure you harpsichord! Anyone harpsichord do it!

I don’t think this is the right community for it…

That’s right,

A third person is about to show up and express mild interest, then they will wander off for a drink, but then return and ask to have the rules explanation start over…

I dont have time to build and maintain a curated offline library like I used to.

I’m sorry for your loss. I’m sure the high seas legitimate DRM free music purchases will welcome you back when you have time again.

Everything I used to use root access for, I do without root access on GrapheneOS.

And also, I can still take root anytime I want. I just don’t need to. Instead, I set per app permissions, including storage scopes for each app.

If you’ve been waiting for root, check it out. I bet you’ll like what you find.

I tolerate continued existence out of a morbid sense of curiosity.

That’s beautiful, in it’s own way.

I felt that way at one point. It led me, eventually, to moments that I later decided mattered very much, to me.

If I hadn’t had that morbid curiosity, I’m not sure I would have made it to those moments I now cherish.

Here’s to morbid curiosity!

Eh, you can post, but people might just ignore it. So you’re screaming into the void for the most part.

I love this analogy, and I need to expand on it.

Lemmy is like taking a pleasant walk, with mostly chill fellow hikers, through a nature preserve, and then taking turns shouting into an empty canyon.

Sometimes a nice and/or informative discussion follows during the hike back to the lodge for some hot cocoa.

Why can’t you just use a butterfly to manipulate bits like a normal adult?

Sadly, I never learned, and C-x M-c M-butterfly, feels like cheating.

Debian and nano?

I think you might thave invented the Linux version of “straight edge”.

I choose to believe you also have no community package sources enabled, and use only the included Debian themed default desktop backgrounds.

Is openSUSE and Neovim ok?

Excellent choice. You’re going places!
