Well, can't argue with facts 🤷♀️

Breakfast? What time zone are you in these days?

I will never understand the obsession with 'gun deaths'.

The 20 years after the gun buyback had more deaths in Australia (in total and per capita) from 'mass casualty events' than the 20 years preceeding port Arthur. It's true that before the gun buyback, they were mostly (but not exclusively) perpetrated with firearms, and after the buyback they rarely (though not 'never', as the cathedral often claims) were committed with firearms. But why does anyone care how mass violence is committed?

:nord: Without guns to defend themselves, more people died

:NPC: Yes, but they didn't die from guns, so it's cool.

🤦♀️

Glad you're enjoying your system; don't ever change.

For my milage:

I put it on an old laptop I let a 7 year old play with like a Fisher-Price Baby's First Laptop, and that by all appearances seems to have been the gnome team's target audience. Maybe that's what you mean by "comfy"? Imo it's only usable for adults with approximately 1,000 extentions installed. Which, kudos for having an extension library, but that's not an excuse to design and ship a wish.com ios for your default desktop environment.

Isn't caffeine acts as a downer a symptom of adhd?

I ran it for a while, my biggest issue was that it was all channel-based, there wasn't a good way to put in one-off videos you wanted to dl. Now I use freetube primarily, but that runs on the client, not the nas so there's some file management after dling anything.

I'm curious about the public spaces comment; do you mean irl, or did you have some new post scope or fedi chatroom feature in mind?

But you can at least run games on bazzite

Hope it is unwarranted and passes quickly.

Wait, the beer isn't open yet, what's in the mug, irish coffee? 🤔

Forking blastoma calling it glaucoma and making everything blurry.

Getting rid of Linux drivers doesn't magically make windows not exist 🙄

One of the saddest things about fedi is you don't get to see anyone else's. I'm sure there are a lot of great ones out there.

Freedom means more user choices. Taking proprietary choices off the table for users is definitionally less freedom. It's just hubris and paternalism to imagine you know better than individual users what software they "should" be allowed to run on their hardware.

No, proprietary drivers should not exist at all.

If that means some hardware is not supported until a free driver is implemented, that is fine.

Peak making the perfect the enemy of the good.

You would literally prefer people be unable to leave mac/windows at all if they can't run the exact setup you would prefer. That's not advancing anyone's freedoms.

Not anime, but I always thought this was fun as a nsfw warning pic

I hoped he'd have an aha moment after his cancelation and ousting, but sadly, no.

Robert Downy Jr. And fat Val Kilmer solve a crime (and commit a few) together in Hollywood; hijinx ensue. It's quite funny and well worth a watch 👍

I'll add Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang to the list.
