I use librewolf (and have for a while) the extra privacy really isn't intrusive, there are some sites that don't work correctly, on it, but I just open up regular Firefox and throw the URL there if that's the case.

The only thing I don't like is how long it takes to build whenever there's an update. I only update it 1-2 times a month but it's still a 20-30 minute process each time

Housing values are extremely artificially inflated right now though. Housing prices have gone up at least 30-50% in a lot of areas since 2019, even non-updated poorly maintained houses are up that amount.

From the book algorithms to live by

I check my work and personal emails once per day. Work ones are usually all just hr spam, sometimes something I need to know about in advance but it's rare. Personal I would check less often but if I get any emails about attempts to access accounts, job interviews, etc it's nice to be semi up to date. I also only open physical mail once per month, unless it's something that is urgent (almost never) l

I also get through my sprint jira tickets in order from fastest to slowest (assuming all have similar priority) to take advantage of something called 2 machine scheduling. It decreases the overall wait time for the tickets. If I do a 2 day task then a 1 day task, the wait on the 2 day task is 2 days and the 1 day task is 3 days, so 5 days of wait total, in the other order 2 day task has 1 day of wait, 2 day task has 3 days for 4 days total. It honestly doesn't change a whole lot, but it allows whoever needs to QA my tasks to get started faster and have stuff to do while I'm working too rather than extra downtime (normally not an issue because the department I'm doing a lot of work for currently is over 2 weeks behind though)

The theater teacher was caught having sex with a student in the theater, got proof from his phone that he had done it plenty of other times with other kids too.

Also some football players abused Adderall to give them an edge while playing, one died and another got brain damage and will never walk again.

A nearby highschool's waterpolo coach was caught having sex with students too.

sounds of the fan for a raspberry pi running pihole begin to filter through the background noise ya'll allow ads on your network?

I recommend endeavouros - it's on arch (personally my favorite, btw), has a bunch of desktop environments you can pick from that come configured nicely out of the box, nice presets and well commented configs, etc. Install and setup are super easy, they also include installing your driver's and such.

For getting games to work, most games work out of the box on steam (just make sure to enable proton for all titles and you're set). Some games will require some changes to the launch command which you can super easily find with just searching {game title} Linux. There are some that straight up don't work, and most likely no tinkering will fix that - but it's primarily fps and competitive games with kernal level anticheat. It's getting better with fewer and fewer games using it though. Since you already have a steak deck you already know the process most likely so you should be able to hit the ground running

At the gop convention this year, the log cabin Republicans were called groomers. The leopards are already eating faces

In my CS degree I would have only learned and used java if not for my optional data science courses, a single class on machine language, a single SQL course, and a c++ course at community college before going to uni.

My data science courses introduced me to matlab, bash, r, Julia, python, machine learning, docker, Linux, and aws. My uni didn't even have a data science degree, those courses primarily counted towards my math minor since they were under statistics.

The one piece of advice I still give to every CS student I meet is to diversify your classes whenever possible, don't just stick to the core comp sci classes and take throwaway electives

So either Kamala becomes president a few months early and faces maga rioting, or becomes president at the normal time and faces maga rioting

I use bspwm and I really like the unicorne philosophy of the config files (bspwm controls your windows and such, sxhkd controls keybinds, two separate programs and config files. The bspwm config file is also just a bash file so you can add anything bash related to it easily.

This said, I love the dynamic workspaces on i3 and wish bspwm could replicate them. I don't like i3 enough to switch to it purely because it's also on x, but when Nvidia gets better Wayland support I'm definitely hopping ship to sway (i3 on sway basically)... Or when I'm able to swap my 3080 ti for an and gpu at a reasonable price

I've tried Spotify, yt music, and tidal. Tidal and Spotify are pretty much identical for the most part but has higher quality files and pays artists more. Yt music is really good at recommendations from my experience with it.

So anyway, now I pirate all my music in lossless flac (whenever possible) and listen to it via plexamp. If I want to try a new artist I just download their most popular album, if I like it I get more of their stuff. The library must grow.

Pretty sure they mean 4.1 > 5.4 > 7.29 ... , so after 10 years 82% of Canadians will be being murdered. By year 11, it will start killing non-canadians with a 111% adoption. In 30 years, we will all be dead

Come to the vim side, we have y for copy (yank) and p for paste. We even have d for cut

It's even better than I thought:

“Kamala Harris. You know it’s interesting nobody really knows her last name,”

Quick note, duckduckgo has a free alias email forwarding service and it integrates with bitwarden

The good f word, not the bad f word

My maternal grandmother - extremely nice and sweet, died of breast cancer when I was a kid so I don't remember much else about her.

My maternal grandfather - convicted for soliciting an underage prostitute (undercover cop), that's all I know about him and it's enough. Not sure if he's even alive.

Paternal grandparents - psychotic religious fanatics (burned our Harry Potter and Mickey the sorcerer books while babysitting when I was a baby, killed multiple of my dad's pets growing up, etc). Have only seen that grandmother when the grandfather died and at a Christmas party a month later - still psychotic and super rude.

My parents - nicest people you'll ever meet, I have basically no bad memories from being raised (except my dad only makes broccoli and cauliflower by microwaving it)

He is partially right - there are people making a lot of money from climate change... Or at least from causing it

I like to say enhance before opening the full file from a thumbnail in feh when showing my wife pictures. She hates it and I will not stop

Wait... So, you're telling me... Raising prices and lowering quality is... Bad for business? But it looked so good on the spreadsheets and our shareholders were happy!
