rtxn,

rtxn,

Writing my letter of resignation, developing a Blender extension, and watching a streamer play Control (specifically the ashtray maze) for the first time.

rtxn,

I never had Netflix. Or any streaming subscription. I considered it once, several years ago, but I couldn’t justify it at prices then, and I sure as shit won’t waste my money now. I’ll help them save their bandwidth.

(Constructively) What is your least favorite distro & why?

I’ve been distrohopping for a while now, and eventually I landed on Arch. Part of the reason I have stuck with it is I think I had a balanced introduction, since I was exposed to both praise and criticism. We often discuss our favorite distros, but I think it’s equally important to talk about the ones that didn’t quite hit...

I’m about to piss off a lot of people.

It’s Arch and Arch-derivatives. And I’m saying it as an Arch user, btw, and I actually love it.

Between the Big Three (Fedora, Debian, Arch), it is the least likely to have an official package for somewhat niche applications. If something is not available as a flatpak or appimage, I have to compile it from source or an AUR PKGBUILD, but we all know the dangers of doing that. Some software will just assume that it’s running on a particular disribution, usually Ubuntu. Some software will detect the distribution and straight-up refuse to work on Arch.

That being said, it would take a lot to make me switch to a stable point-release distribution. Arch’s advantages more than make up for the sub-par software support.

(actually, I lied. Fuck Canonical and *Ubuntu. And IBM.)

rtxn,

Having no escape is a very big problem if you want to use Vim…

rtxn,

Here you go. Not an Arch user, but he’s in the pipeline. And he’s kinda rocking the outfit.

rtxn,

You are not ready.

But if you insist…

It’s at the very end of their last video titled Sex Survey Results, around 4:33:48.

But seriously, you are not ready. Definitely NSFW, might be NSFL, and I have no idea how it stayed on Youtube.

rtxn,

…and never talk about what happened in the girls’ bathroom in a Polish school.

rtxn,

We could be actively fucking and I’d still doubt if that’s what she meant. I’d need something like a testimony under oath and corroborating opinions from three independent psychologists.

rtxn,

They’re angry because their own craniometry told them they were rejects.

(tangential - Disco Elysium had some really funny racists. Fucking Measurehead.)

rtxn,

uTorrent has been down the shitter for over a decade now, I wouldn’t be surprised if the download speed was throttled without a pro subscription. It could also be a difference in how the applications discover seeds, or how much CPU time or memory is allocated to downloads.

As a general rule, if an application is full of anti-features, it tends to have better, usually FOSS, alternatives.

Did you lose your ability to recognise sarcasm, or did it never develop in the first place?

Of course that’s not what he said, but the issue of web ads is much deeper than the ad revenue or no ad revenue question he is taking a stand on. It has been discussed ad nauseum by more technically minded people than him.

No, no, first you need to reroute, to be able to patch it through, and THEN you can override the command sequence in order to exploit parallelisms at the core root interface.

VLC when I’m listening to local files, ncspot for Spotify.

rtxn,

Right now I’m listening to Adeptus Ridiculous (W40k lore podcast) and the image of giant cat-eared Ultramarines won’t leave my fucking mind

rtxn,

Privacy Badger, if you want to try to reduce your tracking data.

Privacy Possum, if you want to send bullshit tracking data to cost companies money.

Get a chest freezer. It’s much more efficient for long-term storage than an upright fridge with a freezer because the cold air doesn’t spill out when you open it.

Toss your incandescent and fluorescent lights. Get LED bulbs (not smart lights, just white LEDs). Where applicable, install timer switches.

Fuck cars, get a bike. A simple, sturdy one, like an onafiets. They run on toast and determination.

Understand the difference between having enough money to buy something and being able to afford something.

You’ve just become the nemesis of the entire unix-like userbase for praising the space.
