aaah, I used to play the heck out of this with my brother… Our favourite was to set all the bots to 5-star melee-only monkeys on one team vs. the two of us. And the entire soundtrack is filled to the god damn brim with bangers. The Scrapyard music particular goes fucking hard. Certainly a formative moment in the development of my musical taste.

I’m on a project where we original had three devs, but two of them did exactly what is depicted in this image, so now there’s only me. There’s a proper god damn mountain of tech debt that keeps growing. At this point it’d take me probably a solid couple of months to sort it out, but of course the customer doesn’t want to pay for anything, because “what’s the problem, it’s still running”. All I can really do is glance at it every now and then, like that gif with richard ayoade and the fire from IT crowd. It’s a pretty big and widely used system too, so it’s gonna be a real biblical clusterfuck when it finally shits the bed.

It’s decently fun still, but the average player has gotten so good at the game at this point that it’s mostly just frustrating. Feels like you gotta spend like 8 hours a day on the grind to compete at all.

Holy shit that looks like a sick setup!! Probably costs as much as a house though. Maybe I should sell my house and build a dope modular giga synth?

Yeah dude

Alacritty because I like how it handles bitmap fonts and I need bitmap fonts in my life.

Comrades, I sincerely apologize for any psychic damage taken from being exposed to my fellow countryman’s takes

imagine not knowing that the wrong side won the civil war

Today I asserted myself at work by refusing to do some bullshit ticket for a project I do not give a fuck about any more, and I feel like the biggest chad on the planet. Can’t believe I haven’t said “fuck no” to more stuff before. Getting high on my own supply here.

They would be funny as fuck if they weren’t real and doing harm to people. I understand where you’re coming from though.

It would be so cool to jam with my musically inclined friends, but most of them live on the other side of the country

Yep. The red-scare brainworms are deeply rooted here, every boy has to go to the military to prepare for the inevitable day the russians come. It hasn’t really been taken very seriously for as long as I’ve lived, at least. Until now, I guess. A funny little cultural rite of passage meme where 18-year-olds get to fuck around with their bros in the woods for half a year. But tbh I never went myself, so I don’t really know what you actually learn there.

“40 soldiers and an old tractor” is what I assume is the portion of the conscripts who are actually ready and willing to fight, and didn’t just go there because they were expected to.

Yeah I’m getting serious tiny poodle vibes. Going “let me at em bro I swear to god bro I’ll fuck em up bro you’re lucky i’m on this leash aaaabark bark bark barkbarkabrkbark” at a pack of swole bears or something. We have like 40 soliders and maybe an old tractor somewhere. It’s a god damn suicide cult.

Mint is cool, linux is cool, and you are cool too. Enjoy

It does yeah, but not for applications running in XWayland. For example, I’m running a secondary 4k monitor with 1.5x scaling so it matches the other 1440p monitor. For native wayland applications, everything works just fine, but running an XWayland application on the 4k monitor will make it render at 1440p and become a blurry nasty mess. In KDE it will render in proper 4k (as if it was native a Wayland window), because they’ve somehow worked around that issue.

KDE’s VRR and XWayland fractional scaling implementations are pretty dope. Wlroots pls

I was at a wedding once and some random cool dude who sat next to me used the term “historical materialism” so that seemed pretty obvious.

Does anyone have a link to Melenchon’s speech about having the right to do absolutely nothing? It was during the protests against raising the retirement age in France IIRC

I love arch and I’m incredibly biased, but here goes. I have used Arch exclusively for the past n years. All of the things you’ve mentioned will work great. The AUR absolutely rules. It’s rather similiar to Void in the sense that it’s a completely blank slate, so it’s going to be as unique an experience as you make it.

Arch is really stable and reliable as long as you don’t break it, really. Out of the handful of times I’ve fucked up my install, all of them have been my own fault. Fortunately Arch is (relatively) easy to fix: keep a live USB on hand and chroot into your physical drive with arch-chroot and unfuck whatever needs unfucking. I haven’t ever had to completely start over from scratch a single time. It’s a learning experience!

Go for it, I say. Try it in a VM beforehand if you gotta.
