"On your left!"

I would rather call them regressive or backwards. In my region they are also not called conservative, but "right" or "nazis", depending on party.

Had to check the article, because I wasn't sure this is news from the land of the free.

Spoken like someone who doesn't have proper backups.

The fact you even have this option proves OPs point.

you misunderstood. i wasn't making fun, but am genuinely interested.

May I ask roughly how old you are that you only learnt this today?

Do you really think ppl don't break their wayland setup? For example, some systems don't get a mouse cursor in wayland umless they switch the cursor to software rendering. To do that, they must often set an env var for the wayland process, but there is no standard way to do it. Half of them starts tinkering with their PAM and the others with their .profile . Sometimes this breaks every way to log in.

hahaha, this is like posting on 4chan /b/ (it got hacked recently tho. not sure if it's still down or safe to visit)

😯 how many tabs did you open?

I'm not using swap on my work and gaming PCs > 10 years now. I first started to question I need it, when I got a new PC going from 512MB to 2GB. Now I have 20GB in one of them and I don't think I will ever be able to fill it all up until I get an upgrade again.

The lesson: You make the news and become famous. 😄

maybe they did notice, but what are you supposed to do? it's working better than advertised. throw away perfectly good mushrooms? idk

I didn't mean it that way. I just meant to remind you, that our brains do this, that's why I wrote "could".

For example, I was in the military many years ago. Now when I look back, I immediately remember all the fun we had doing exercizes in the forest, marching in lockstep, helping each other, good food from the military cooks, my seargent walking around laughing and wielding two machine guns, etc.. But when it was so nice, why did I quit? I have to concentrate hard to remember that is was actually one of the worst times I had in my life. No privacy, bad bunk beds, constantly exhausted, drinking alcohol to be able to sleep when deployed to noisy environments, everything was dangerous all the time, always being ready to kill randos, just because their boss sent them to war, etc.. It wasn't fun overall, but it's getting harder to remember every year.

you know the blur was good when almost all comments mention it

The russians dragged Ukraine to war.

It could be a common coping mechanism, where human brains make old memories of bad times feel slightly better and forget the worst parts sooner.

I can just upload gifs like an image with Jerboa. Some other clients don't work, because it becomes a jpg for some reason.
