It's not bad. I haven't dug too much into it but it's got the pokemon feel and I've enjoyed what I played of it.

A Disco Elysium style Trek game would be killer. Make me make ethical decisions about other species, decide if I want to be a Starfleet or a Maquis, and make awkward conversation with my superior officer that gets me reassigned to Delta Shift cleaning the Holodecks, and seriously reconsider my life.

Getting my Pinephone Pro up and running, and getting away from Google forever, finally. Also I'm gonna make the jump from Arch to either Gentoo and/or Guix, I think.

Yeah, I prefer a direct and honest approach. If it ends up that you lose friends over it, those friends may not be worth keeping.

Look at this guy and his bootstraps, everyone!

Unfortunately, everything is political, and this has always been true, and will never not be, as long as humans exist. If you were able to ignore politics, it just means you were unaware of them, likely because they weren't hurting you or anyone you cared about. The uptick in "toxic" posts in the last decade is because more people are in danger now, and are highly aware of it, and more people are actively dangerous, and are stirring the pot. It didn't get more political, it got more dangerous.

This is a stupid take. You're tired of the people who own and use a platform controlling that platform to represent their morals? If you want a platform to host bigotry, you should make one. They often do so well. Just because someone has something stupid to say doesn't mean others have to tolerate it in their home or place of business.

Because that's the speech they like the most.

Seriously, this should be illegal. Every game blasts you with full volume and no way to turn it down until later. Then the reasonable setting is like 10%. I'm in the habit of taking my headphones off when I start a new game.

Just went to the Beach Blanket Bingo show. Hail Satan!

Pretty sure Hyprland will do this. I have seen it make some stupid small windows

Like putting too much air into a balloon!

Yeah Hyprland is great and very easy. Just make sure you have kitty installed or change the default config to use your preferred terminal and getting set up shouldn't take long. The Hyprland docs also have tons of recommendations for other good software.

Californian here, I'd love some $6 gas. Paid $6.59 for 91 the other day.

Linuxcommand.org is a great start. Writing shell scripts and using cli programs for things you actually need and will use will greatly accelerate learning. I stopped using a file manager entirely to force myself to learn how to get around, then switched to neovim from vscodium, taskwarrior instead of Obsidian Tasks, termdown for timers, etc. A tiling wm makes the transition easier imo because you can have many terminals open for visual multitasking. Like with anything, you'll get better faster if you just do it a bunch and don't be afraid to mess up and get your hands dirty.

Ring of fire is my song to sing when I've had too much Mexican food and beer.

I think you overestimate how much they care about doing illegal things. They will try it, and if someone can prove it's illegal, they'll pay a minor fine and stop, maybe. Otherwise they'll get away with it. That's how corps look at laws.
