Genddy Tartakovsky's Primal. The show is visceral and intense and forces you to acknowledge that you and anything around you can lose everything in the snap of fingers, for no real reason except "thats just how life is sometimes". And it does this despite having no comprehensible dialog.

So I've done a Linux install on a 4GB Chromebook, with 16GB eMMC storage, and what I learned is that it really depends on what you use the machine for, and which distribution you run. If all you're doing is word processing, managing emails, and browsing on YouTube, you can absolutely run Linux comfortably with 4GB, provided you pick one of the leaner Linux distros. For reference I ran Gallium OS, which was a Xubuntu flavor specifically tuned for lower end Chromebooks.

ETA: In comparison, I had a relative who bought a laptop off those TV sales networks that had a similar CPU RAM and storage setup, except running Windows 10...it ran slower than a snail, and one day it had a Windows update that was too large to fit on the combined RAM and page space. The poor woman couldn't use the computer because the update forcibly ran in the background and consumed all her memory every time she turned it on. So yeah, you can't game on Linux with only 4GB of memory, but I am confident that I can do a major OS update on it at least.

Finally an actual shitpost

Felt this in my chest...had a window of my life where things were so rough I was basically ordered by my therapist to take seek medical treatment for both, and even with treatment existing felt like a chore...couldn't even will myself to look at memes when I woke up. Basically just laid in bed with my eyes closed for half the day for a while. Getting to the point where I could properly take care of myself again was very much a recovery process.

I was incredibly lucky that I had just started a new job when that happened and was full remote for the first few months, so a lot of that time was just supposed to be spent passively learning.

The ADHD/depression combo can be an insidiously detrimental co-morbidity, peeps. If there's even a hint of that happening to you, ask for help. I had no clue that's what was happening to me and was lucky that I was in therapy already when everything went down, because my doctor caught it right away.

Saxophone. But not always because it's smooth. Because sometimes it ROCKS...

Not really, we tend to have a "main street" where all the popular businesses are lined up, but otherwise a lot of towns are pretty car-centric.

Thanks, I try. ;)

No! You're not allowed to have fun with AI!! AI bad!! sprays you with spray bottle /s

Personally I find AI use in silly, unserious scenarios like this perfectly fine. While I think that it's a shame that there will be less of a culture of "spending a ton of time and effort just to create a silly meme in Paint for Internet Points™", I think the point of memes is for people to express themselves informally in good fun, and how they choose to do that is up to them.

What I don't like is when people try to use it to generate an entire art piece and then sell it at the Louvre as something they made from scratch, especially when they generate it to look like another artist's work. That's not "in good fun"; that's fraud and theft at the same time.

I don't hate the tool, I hate the people who misuse it.

Big words coming from the most hideous and deformed rabbits I've ever seen.

 

It's been like this for the past few weeks. I've tried 6 different pharmacies, 3 of which were large chains, and one of which was an online ordering service.

I read that there have been supply chain issues for the past few years, but for every supplier of every mom-and-pop and big-name company to be put on back-order at once has never happened to me before.

Does anyone know what's going on?

 

My little bro will be so happy to know I can play with him once more! 😊

 

Totally naive question, but is there any merit to Pop! OS continuing to be based on Ubuntu as opposed to Debian?

I ask because of the following developments that have happened over the past few years:

  • System76 is gunning to develop their own COSMIC DE not based on GNOME
  • Debian now officially supports non-free firmware in their ISO releases, meanwhile supporting this out of the box was kind of Ubuntu's whole "raison d'etre" in the early days
  • Canonical is forcing snaps on everyone, and is making it progressively harder to remove them from the system without having very real impacts (I'm hearing whispers online about them "snapifying" CUPS printer drivers), and to get around this System76 basically has to repackage some software into .deb files by hand and offer flatpak integration as an alternative if people want newer stuff.

Essentially, the conclusion I am drawing from all this information is that it's going to get harder and harder to base things off of Ubuntu moving forward, and that other than newer packages (which is solved with flatpaks) there's actually not a whole lot of benefit to basing things off of Ubuntu as opposed to a slightly tweaked Debian flavor...

So with all that said, I'm curious what the community and developers behind Pop! OS think about my line of reasoning. Are there any considerations being made to potentially shift to Debian as a base? If not, are there things I'm not considering? Or (and this is totally out of left field), is System76 planning to become a company somewhat resembling Canonical and create their own distro based on the Debian testing branch?

Would love to hear some thoughts on this, and apologies if this has been brought up before.

Realized that I haven't done my "introduction" post yet!

I was a late joiner of Reddit since my need for memes were being fulfilled by other meme aggregators, what really convinced me to join my first message board was that I realized it could be a space to geek out about technology and anime, and see what other people are discussing in those communities.

When I saw the type of space it was becoming, I realized that if communities want to exist, they not only must be moderated by their communities like with Reddit, but owned by them too! Then I learned about the Fediverse, and felt it made much more sense from a sustainability standpoint in that regard, and decided to hop on this train to awesome!

I was really excited to see that this instance is pretty devoted to tech enthusiasts and makers of all kinds, so thanks for having me!

I'm particularly into programming language design, and my favorites are Ada and Raku, despite being a relatively young programmer (cue the ensuing "hipster" jabs), just because they offer features that are truly helpful in intuitive ways for their respective use-cases.
