@theorytoe I guess. maybe I'm looking at it too much like a modern autist - as @lebronjames75 said earlier, why would they need it -

>I mean theses two seasons, so the passage of each could logically be considered some unit of time since its cyclic in nature
of course, yeah
>and since they align fairly close to the 365 days it would be not improbable to get close to that number
the question then is, when do you start counting -

retarded question but please hear me out. suppose you're some prehistoric tribesman somewhere on the level of "not dumb as bricks" already, and capable of counting - how exactly would you conclude that a year has 365 days? if you don't have even rudimentary writing yet, as many cultures didn't, you won't have any longer-term day-by-day chronicles either - so you'll have to wing it somehow. or is there a clear yearly phenomenon to observe? (solstices are not a clear phenomenon, I can't imagine someone being able to tell "yup. this is the longest day". it too requires record keeping)
or is the moon just enough here? -

>Redshift doesn't work on Wayland
>GNOME's native "Night Shift" doesn't go below 0% brightness and also shits itself and then locks up the desktop
>Touhou always opens on the primary monitor and the shortcut to move between monitors bricks the window because it's a two decades old fullscreen game running through Proton
>all extensions that would allow me to open it on the ACTIVE MONITOR WITH THE FUCKING CURSOR ON IT have long been unsupported and GNOME refuses to even enable them
>the only way to open it on the right monitor is to switch which one is the primary one, hiding my only taskbar
I'm regretting this already. :guratired::guratired::guratired::guratired::guratired: -

Since I had to wipe my work laptop and install a Fedora/GNOME image, I thought I'd try to stay on it for a few days to see what the mainstream DE world is like nowadays. Everything feels smooth and so far better put together than I've expected, with two easily fixed gripes:
- No middle click paste. Fixed by running a command found in the first search link, that being a GitLab issue, but it's a stupid default. :bassi:
- No default terminal shortcut. Fixed by making a custom one, which a coworker had to help me with because the menu is ass-backwards and they didn't even bother having an unbound shorcut out of the box, unlike a... calculator. I digress.
As the music player I picked Clementine, which looks a bit out of place like it's 2010 but seems full of features, ranging from useful to cool to dumb, like a button that plays the HYPNOTOAD hum at full volume. One of the cool ones is called "Mood", which makes a colorful progress bar for each song. I don't get how they pick the colors, but the darker sections are obviously the quieter ones and it's kind of a neat breakdown of how a song progresses.
Also Tuba is a shit fedi client. Shame! -

We all know Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Where would America be if Humpty Dumpty sat on a cock instead? -

@benis_redux Called again. Somebody found it pretty early and left it in a newsstand, and presumably didn't pick it up while he had it. (I rushed there seven minutes after I accidentally left it there, it was missing already. Wife tried calling about twenty minutes after that, no response.)
The fact that the bus stop is in front of a gypsy nest makes me feel both extremely retarded and extremely blessed. I might have physically aged somewhat today.
Also in the meantime I blocked my debit cards that were inside. :cacolaugh: -

@benis_redux there are several lessons!
1. playing Minecraft isn't worth the effects of 4 hours of sleep
2. putting your phone on a public bench instead of your pocket is an extremely stupid idea
3. Find My Phone or at least an equivalent ungoogled app could be worth it, though it sounds incompatible with total privacy
4. back up your phone (there are 10 year old photos on the SD card)
5. 2FA sucks -

Sobriety day 25: Lost my phone at a bus stop, then found it four hours later, & slept through the rest of the working day. Every day brings an amazing new adventure. -

It was umalright. Not feeling like a new fan whatsoever, but it might have inspired me to get more seriously into lifting/running again. -

Sobriety day 24: I think I'm going to see Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Beginning of a New Era in a cinema today. I've never seen a single episode and don't even know the horses by name, but it sounds fun. -
