I was looking for some eyebleach earlier and was disappointed to see how quiet all of the eyebleach communities are.

Most of my life is pretty busy. When I have a moment where I have nothing to do, I try to enjoy it instead of wishing it away.

Having the time to do nothing is underappreciated.

Read the book Sapiens.

Being able to believe in fiction is what allows humanity to function.

I’d be doing this right now, but the rest of the family is sleeping.

This is true. Although, every once in a while I’ll convince the wife unit to go out and we both usually end the night with a sense of regret and a feeling that we both would have preferred to have just stayed home.

Yeah, the $36+ per kilo is a lot, but from a “vote with your dollar” perspective, I may stomach it in hopes that the price goes down, and the color options improve. I don’t print as often as I used to, so that makes it easier.

Apparently wiki identifies it as a “pointing stick”.

…also, I find it amusing that the article does use the term clitmouse.

Mine.

Yes, both links and lynx are terminal based browsers. I remember using them to browse the Gentoo handbook when trying to do my first install.

Thanks for the nostalgic flashback.

I was in the hospital last month and the screen lock on the computer cart that they use to access your records and record information was showing advertisements.

It wasn’t even medical related. It was for a fast food chain.

When I was younger, we moved around a lot, and as side effect of that, we paid for a storage unit to hold less frequently used stuff. Around the time I started high school, we managed to buy a house, and moved everything from the storage unit into our home. In it there was a picnic basket that I had never seen before. I remember looking inside and finding a horrible smelling bag of “bread” which was actually a black liquid with lumps in it. There was also some individually wrapped cheese slices which visually speaking were indistinguishable from any I could buy in the store today.

Just to give a shout out to my boss when I worked as a mechanic, I’d like to say “get the fuckin’ torch. She’s hogged up tighter than a nuns cunt” and also a “she shakes like a sick whore shiting blood”. Lastly, I’ll add “fuck you shit whore fucking cunt”

Duane, you made amazing progress in the world of profanity and you were an amazing mentor.

Thank you.

Yep. This here is me.

I’m sure there are opinions both ways. I think the reason Fedora is the headline is because it is the more recent addition. Lenovo has had an Ubuntu option on some machines for a few years now. Fedora is a fairly recent addition.

This was a really recent realization for me. I am one of the people who can voluntarily activate the tensor tympani muscles in my ears to create a low level rumbling sound. I recently tried explaining this to someone else and they still think I am making it up.

“Nothing worth mentioning, you?”

I think libre office is even a maybe in this case. Give them a browser and they’ll be fine.

I’ve been using vimwiki for a while. My most recent change was to switch it over to md format, and setting it up share data with Obsidian. Most of the note taking still happens in the terminal, but digging through it typically happens in the Obsidian UI.

So far it’s working pretty smoothly.

This feels like the right place to link to the Kralyn Positron project which is a compact, open source portable 3D printer.

I started buying parts to make one but haven’t taken the time to get any of the machined parts manufactured yet.

I am certainly not one of the younger folks and had never seen that before. That is awesome, thank you for sharing.
