I make a backup of my project on an external hard drive twice-ish a week and pacman-Syu twice-ish a month. If anything serious happens, I'll just reinstall and restore.

I could keep an up-to-date install USB ready, tho - but I have enough other options at the moment.

Thanks for the concern.

I've largely stopped actively following news because

• most of it is stuff we knew already
• I already find out all that I need to know and more involuntarily through occasional social media visits

I'd like to read summaries of a given week's news on the world, EU, national, and maybe local level once a week, tho. I'll check if there's anything like this for the world and EU scale and report back here if there is.

Yeah, and the small part of the the news that can affect me and/or I have input about is what the news summary should be about - thinks like Chat Control, climate change, or AI deepfakes.

Technically correct, although I wonder whether it would be easier to challenge the system under the "nothing will fundamentally change" party or the "We are actively and gleefully changing things for the worse" party...

Can confirm, I liked him more when back when SpaceX launched a car and he seemed to be just a "cool tech guy".

Funnily enough, that's the only time I was ever close to being jealous of him, contrary to the belief of "Musk haters are just jealous!"

Does that mean we should roll over and let Putin have his way?

That would be best, yes. Is there a 3rd party in the US that already exists that could be organized behind?

Monthly update: Made 58 comments during the first monthly period - less than I did the week before. So the method seems to be working. Will arrange first donation by end of month.

It works well enough for now. Some things were surprisingly simpler than I expected them to be (e.g. gaming thanks to Heroic Launcher and Steam).

Note for the Linux-curious potentially reading this: I had sufficient experience with Linux Mint and Ubuntu as well as test runs of Arch before committing to it. DO NOT SWITCH DIRECTLY TO ARCH LINUX FROM WINDOWS. Try Mint first (or Bazzite, I hear that one is great for gaming but have yet to try it myself), and preferably using VirtualBox before committing to a switch.

Funny idea: what if Republicans are making these ultimately inconsequential blunders to divert attention from the greater problems?

That said, the green pool and UFC are good meme template materials to use to raise awareness of said problems.

Will check our videos when I have the time but after switching to Godot, there are three big benefits:

1. Not depending on the whims of a corpo
2. Ease of use
3. Modularity (the node-scene tree system is peak)

The ad-pocalypse?

Is there such a thing as "too late" when organising? I'm pretty sure the OG union workers faced much worse conditions than game devs today. We can still do this.

"Task Manager, my beloved"

"I'm System Monitor now" (Arch+KDE)

"Apologies. System Monitor, my beloved"

Also, the bottom bar with icons and stuff is called "Task Manager" on KDE, which is mildly confusing

That's one of fediverse's most underused selling points. Karma farming is impossible here.

Please don't try to flush Portugal.

I'm not sure. Southern hemisphere countries might flush differently. Better not risk it, though.

"CT scanners are woke" - Trump supporters, probably

"Their new girlfriend is... women" Huh.

Let him sleep. He's not actively making things worse when he's asleep.
