You damn millenials with your short attention spans can’t even read a caption unless it’s shorter than 8 sentences smh

One day I was in Hannover on holiday. We were walking on a nice street somewhere when this weirdly beautiful pigeon landed on the ground right in front of me. It was a really gorgeous bird. An unusually pretty pigeon. And it landed in front of me almost intentionally as if to stop me. I stopped my friend who was walking alongside me, pointed at the bird and said “wow look at that beautiful pi-”. Right at that moment, the winged rat looked me straight in the eyes, took a big runny shit on the ground, and fucked off. The end.

They would, at first. You might have a very uncomfortable few days but then your guts would get up to speed and it’d be fine. Happens all the time to people.

J stands for janky.

Tar and feather

I see what you did there

We let one man ruin a perfectly good style of stache, we should not let another jackass ruin a perfectly good style of underwear.

Also bad is that hair dryers don’t spread their heat around very well at all. You can easily create hotspots on the object and damage things with them.

I’m the walrus

It’s the marketing. Always the marketing. Especially the SEO guys.

One SEO guy we worked with told us not to cache our websites because he was convinced that it helped. He badgered us about it for weeks, showed us some bullshit graphs and whatever. One day we got fed up and told him we’d disabled the cache and he should keep an eye out for any improvements in traffic. Obviously we didn’t actually do anything of the sort because we are not fucking idiots. Couple days later the SEO wizard sent us another bunch of figures and said “see, I told you it would help I know my stuff”. He did not, in fact, know his stuff.

Some sort of medicine or ointment or balsam or whatever that halts hair growth. You decide your hair looks good right now at that length, and use this stuff to freeze its growth. It also protects your hair obviously so that it doesn’t get weak and fall off.

Another thing I’d like is some sort of bath salt type thing that dissolves in water and painlessly removes all hair. You get in the tub with only your head above water, and then enjoy a smooth body without annoying-ass hair or annoying ass-hair.

I’m also running KDE on arch. It’s not so unstable that it crashes, but its features do tend to break. Right now, there’s an empty space in my top panel where the native system monitor should be doing its thing. It was working a couple days ago, now it isn’t. Yesterday I found a stray native media player widget on my desktop that definitely was not there before. I had to restart Spotify for the 3rd time today because its window becomes unusable if it’s left in the foreground when the system goes to sleep.

I didn’t do any deep tinkering at all. Vanilla KDE plasma 6 where the only tweaks I have made are those offered by the DE itself. I’m not impressed.

They’re not that common. In my experience a highly extension-ified gnome still manages to be simpler and more stable than KDE with all its native customizability.

I agree, unfortunately. The only reason I stick with ddg over Google is because, unlike Google, they don’t smother me with captchas the moment I enter a VPN.

If anything it’s getting worse. Today I (unsuccessfully) spent a lot of time trying to figure out why the bottom panel’s state won’t persist between reboots. I don’t even know what state it’s reverting to. I never pinned Google chrome to that panel yet it appears there on every reboot while all my pins are gone. Some time was also wasted on rebuilding another panel that somehow broke and piled all of its widgets on top of each other and made them unclikable. There’s also something seriously wrong with either the window manager or the compositor or both because on two occasions it sorta fused two windows together, producing a garbled mess that forced me to exit both applications and restart them.

I think I’ll call this one a failure and go back to gnome as soon as I can. This really is not a good experience. Maybe in another two years I’ll try KDE again. Last time I tried KDE it was much worse, so they’re clearly getting better.

On Arch, KDE is the epitome optimization and polish.

Cannot relate. At all.

Last friday I re-installed Arch with KDE this time instead of GNOME for a change, and in these two and a half days I’ve already encountered more bugs and crashes than I did the entire time I was on GNOME. Kinda regretting the decision already. All that with stock applets and widgets and shit that come bundled with the DE. I don’t want to imagine what things would be like if I started to mess around with third party stuff.

First gen in-screen scanners were absolute trash. Borderline unusable. But the tech has improved quite a lot since the first ones. The one in my galaxy tab s9’s screen is fast and accurate.

“they have sane defaults” is the most insane thing I heard about Macs. Their stupid fucking defaults is what I hate the most about macs. Example: enter key. Its default behavior is to RENAME a file while you have to hit a two key combo to open a file. That will never make sense to me. Might sound like a minor thing, but the whole system is so full of such small annoying things. At first I thought it was annoying because I was not used to that stuff, but I’ve been using a Mac for quite a while now and I still find the OS mostly annoying.

What that means is Linux is spyware. So are pretty much every Foss project out there.

Legible text has long been solved. Plenty of diffusion models out there that can generate perfectly normal looking legible text. The words might be complete gibberish, but at least they’re legible gibberish.

He could just pick up the npc. Not like he’s never been shown to accelerate mere mortal fleshbags to relativistic speeds almost instantaneously.
