Papyrus, probably

I use IronFox, not sure how much it depends on Firefox though.

Huh??

Because Windows customization was too hard and weird. To install a custom theme, I had to browse DeviantArt for some god forsaken reason(????) and trust this random person's theme, which could contain malware for all I knew! I just wanted to choose colors and change transparency!

Stupid default software: What's up with Micro$oft Edge? Why do they push it so hard? Just let me set Firefox as the default browser for everything! I want to be able to uninstall things I don't want on my system, and use whatever apps I want.

So, around 2022, I tried Linux Mint and fell in love with it. I'd heard Apple devices were pretty locked down so the thought of buying a Mac hadn't crossed my mind (I could not afford one anyways).

I then went on to, over time, try other distros, such as: ArcoLinux (now discontinued), Debian, Artix, KDE Neon, Void, and nowadays I run NixOS on my desktop and Arch on my laptop. (I did try Fedora Sway for a few hours before installing Arch on my laptop though).

...is it common for people in the northern hemisphere to not get time off school during winter?

This is why you hover over links before clicking on them... I recognize it...

Thanks! It's the bookmarlet URL, didn't know that existed.

Very rarely on purpose. Last time I willingly used a chatbot for something was like ~7 months ago IIRC. Sometimes I am searching random things up in incognito (so it doesn't pollute my browsing history) and DuckDuckGo shows the stupid AI overview because of course, in incognito it's not gonna know that I specifically disabled their "AI" features. It should be opt-in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, they're kinda useful by themselves, but in a search engine? Sure, it can filter results or whatever, but it's just easier for me to go to a website I know and look for the info there.

Also, I don't like chatbots because usually I just want to search one thing and leave - and to me, it doesn't feel like that's what they were designed for. They're meant for "conversation" but I don't want to talk to a bot. There are, of course, a plethora of other reasons why I don't like LLMs, which I won't be getting into in this reply.

glad i recently bought an SSD. it was expensive, and it will be more expensive in the future, damn :(

Since I was named after my dad I suppose I would've been named after my mom or another family member.

And uh, I guess "Cally" is kind of gender neutral-ish but it is my main online username so it'd be weird to use it somewhere else. Also I'm unsure how to pronounce it in portuguese, which is my native language.

Thank you! ^w^

Congrats on partially switching to Linux! pop OS is a great choice as it is very user-friendly from what I've heard. It may take a while to get used to things you have to do differently, but you'll learn by using it.
