So it has nothing to do with an occupying invader burning down centuries-old olive trees in between bombing breaks. /s

5 6 7 8 Amerikkka is a fascist state

Me, bottom 10%, making coffee for a paycheck and scavenging my new pair of pants from a dumpster: Yeah, man, you said it.

Oh, hey, we’re up to the Enlightened Monarchs phase of the Enlightenment of the 18th century.

I worked in mental health for years. Some of my most interesting patients were also some of the kindest and most compassionate. One lady was convinced that a famous director was her husband, and had (legit, in her record) walked across five states to accept his psychic wedding proposal. When another patient was in crisis, she was the first one to find us and tell us, and if we weren’t there right away, she would sit with them and reassure them until we could make it.

And then there was the dude who had scammed nearly a thousand retirees because he could–and having psychotic delusions was just something on the side.

Being mentally ill is not a precursor for evil. However, Kanye seems to have made it his mission.

I’ve heard this philosophy before, yeah. And honestly, it’s why I legit think of Jedi and Dudeists as credible. If some of the wisest writers in our distant history were revealed to actually be a shared pen name for five or six guys, then why is it weird to say that Master Yoda and Uncle Iroh are my favorite philosophers?

He’s refused help at every turn. Not even his wife could get through to him. Not his friends, not his family, not his colleagues. None of them could convince him to stay on his meds and stay sane.

Don’t mind me, being a casual user since 2014 taking down notes as I’m reading the debates in the comments.

But I finally found out why Steam kept crashing. Snap broke it. I forced it to run as a flatpak, and now it works exactly as intended. Literally what made me finally switch from Ubuntu to Mint.

Didn’t expect to see a legend just scrolling here. Thank you for your contributions to computer science.

Yeah, I jumped ship right around the time Win8 came out. 14.04 was an interesting time to start learning. I was obsessed with trimming out bloat, so I used a tool to uninstall orphaned packages. Problem was, it also deleted some dependencies for GNOME.

I had, to quote the most helpful and humorous person in an Ubuntu forum post, “borked it so bad it had to be nuked from orbit.”

I have since learned my lesson and learned to be a little bit more careful with the magical responsibilities of sudo.

<I think I still have an old book that cautioned if you configured your refresh rates and monitor settings incorrectly your monitor could catch on fire.> Are you telling me that one dev for X.org could set someone’s monitor on fire by fucking with four lines of code?

Jesus Christ, thanks for that, I didn’t need to sleep tonight.

Oh my GOD, the dude on the far right looks like he had his face turned inside out and stuffed like a third grader’s first ever sewing project. Somebody at Build-A-Fash forgot to do QA.
