donate it to me

Jokes aside… If you don’t use Mac stuff at all and don’t mind bricking the computer, would you be interested in trying out Asahi Linux for science?

I’m not familiar with the project at all so I’m not sure how it works, but it might be cool to try. The lead developer had some personal issues recently but is otherwise quite active on Mastodon

No joke but this somewhat describes me… I never hoarded TP, but I tend to buy toilet paper in large quantities (too lazy to go to grocery store) anyway, so I think my COVID stash lasted longer than my apartment at that time… I think I only used up all of it 2-3 years later. My then-roommate even took half of my stash when he moved out since I had so much lol

Sooo what I find funny is… all things considered, French Press isn’t even that sophisticated; it doesn’t involve adjusting the speed at which one pours the water, so it’s a lot less technically demanding than using like a V60 or something… I think the last time I went to a coffee class the instructors were all scoffing at the French Press lol (including one of them not wanting to “waste” a really high-quality batch of coffee on a French Press)

Also James Hoffmann has an alternative technique for using a French Press that makes coffee that is less “muddy”… basically doing the same as usual, but after 4 minutes instead of plunging, try to us a spoon to remove all the foam, and then keep the coffee inside for another 5-10 min. Then pour out coffee without plunging

Slay the Spire, on ascension 20, I lose most runs… I think I enjoy torturing myself

I’d wish to reroll my stats or at least try a different build

Tommy does have yellow and green/blue eyes; the exact color seems to depend on lighting and the person

Yup I was referring to Sinder

I only really watch clips so I wasn’t that personally invested in the drama itself (other than finding it intriguing). But it did hit a bit too close to home since my boss was almost exactly like that so…

In my case… Ironically, almost everyone I know (which is not many). And not just the -tism, but all the other quirks I learned about myself from evaluations

My parents were literally involved with my psych tests and know everything. Despite them growing up in a culture that didn’t even believe depression is real, they’ve been incredibly kind and understanding

Most of my (now former) coworkers know. Half of them are understanding, the other half… I think they either don’t believe me or don’t have a grasp of the weight of the situation

I guess I try my best to not mask in order to alleviate some mental stress so there’s that…

Try to use some type of boiling water technique to invent drinkable sanitary drinking water that doesn’t get me drunk (might not be necessary in some parts of Asia)

Most parts of the world that is not North America: try to convince some wealthy persons and bar owners to sponsor me to getting a bunch of bread molds and rats/mice, possibly even pigs, to conduct antibiotics and vaccine research, otherwise I might die from random sources…

Not sure if I could reasonably do those given my limited biology knowledge, but I guess they are worth trying. Besides that I’d just try to be less blunt/offensive so I don’t get sent to jail and try to live my best life I guess

1. See other recommendations for gaming-specific distros as I’m not familiar with them… Overall, most “beginner-friendly” distros (Fedora, Mint, …) that are not named Ubuntu are good. Ubuntu is not bad per-se: they just have their own ways of doing certain things that are counter-intuitive. Also don’t follow the memes and use Arch Linux or something (Arch is good, but not-beginner-friendly)

2. Some multi-player games have anti-cheats that straight-up won’t work on linux, so if you play any large online-based games it might help to check their linux support first. Otherwise, there are unique examples like Skyrim that are very hard to mod on linux, but most mainstream games should work either out-of-the-box or with very minor tinkering. Unless if you’re into some weird esoteric retro games like me… if so then good luck learning WINE lol

3. As long as you follow 1 you should be fine. In my opinion most beginner linux distros are more intuitive than Windows so…

4. I’m not sure if it is a good idea to dual boot unless you are reasonably familiar with computers… as dual booting can be finicky and sometimes Windows can just eat the linux partition. But I think it is doable? Again I don’t recommend dual-booting so…

5. IMO the biggest decision most beginners have to make is between Gnome/KDE (two of the most popular desktop environments), not between distros. Try to see which one clicks with you more! Also make sure to back up data before switching. Good luck!

Just because two sides are fighting doesn’t mean one side is good (something along this line)

… I don’t think it is that profound, but I think about it a lot
