Yeah, I actually have no idea why she even has a stripe! Technically there is a recessive Genetic Stripe Mutation, but it looks pretty different to her, and the fact that her siblings had at least some slight striping suggests that it isn’t a recessive gene causing this.

The breeder’s best guess is that she has the GHI, Black Pastel and Lesser genes, with a 66% chance for het Clown and maaaybe Confusion. So the stripe might just be a side effect of those genes interacting!

She’s a Royal Python/Ball Python ^^

The API thing. I was using RIF for a very long time at that point and had no intention of using the official Reddit app.

Ooh, I’ll definitely do that down the line when more and more fall off! Taking them off on purpose kinda feels like it goes against the spirit of the repair haha

Year 7-9 was pretty alright for me! I had cut out all the people I dislike in my class by year 6 so after that I had a nice, tight-knit friend group.

I like my regular Switch (because it’s jailbroken and I haven’t ever paid Nintendo for any game on it) but I see no reason to ever get a Switch 2 when the Steam Deck exists.

It’s the same exact laptop, the tests ran sequentially but were edited so that the video shows them in parallel. Since it’s the same hardware in each test and only the OS changes, it’s a perfectly fine setup for comparison.

Russian could have been such a woke language if Russia wasn’t such a right-wing shithole. It’s kind of elegant how you gender verbs when talking about yourself, because your conversation partner can just pick up on it and gender you accordingly.

I don’t like it when websites don’t allow me to enter emojis in text boxes (like when naming or tagging things in browser games). It’s not even that I do it a lot, I just don’t like arbitrary restrictions like that. I know my fellow web devs always get nervous about them causing technical issues, but realistically that really doesn’t happen with any modern tech stacks. I’ve been including emoji input in the test cases for any text input components I program and there’s never been any real issue that would warrant not allowing them at all. Even the notorious 10-character 👨🏻‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏻 really doesn’t cause problems, you just have to account for the length of it.

When I was a teenager, my main source of income was online Usability testing. It was pretty inconsistent, some weeks were 10$, some were 60$, but it took fairly little effort and time. All I had to do was click through a website and narrate how my experience with it was.

It probably pays way less nowadays, but I remember that usertesting.com was my main website for this back in the day because they paid 10$ per test (even if it’s just 10min) and had plenty of opportunities. If you want to try it, make sure to state your household income/education level/job is a bit more than it actually is. You do get more tests that way

I’m pretty new to the whole Linux thing as well and personally, I’ve been liking ZorinOS much better than Mint. Mostly just because it’s prettier, everything else works just as well haha

I went to the midnight release of Avengers Endgame and one guy showed up in full Iron Man Cosplay. Seeing him walk out of that theater at the end of the movie was the highlight of my entire year.

Installing one distro on one laptop and then only using that laptop to figure out how to install the next distro on the other laptop! That would give me an actual goal in each distro I install too, since I’d have to get the wifi and browser working and figure out how to run that program that burns iso files onto a usb stick :0
… that would be such an entertaining youtube video concept too, I wish I was into video making haha

I actually have tried it on the bigger laptop by now and somehow Bazzite runs Sekiro more smoothly than my “Gaming” Lenovo Legion Y530 that has an actual GPU and is from around the same time ever did. 🫣 It was completely unplayable on my other Laptop… which makes me think that maybe I misconfigured it to not actually use the GPU back in the day??? I’ll have to experiment with that a bit more haha

Man I wish I could participate in the programmer socks joke, but I feel like it just doesn’t really hit the same when an afab person does it :(

Not yet, but I have seen that it is very popular on Distrowatch! :D It’s definitely in my backlog

Very reasonable in this economy!

That’s actually an awesome project and I’m coincidentally moving close to one of their locations soon :o

Well now I want to install it just to try to break it lol
