I honestly don't care about Linux distros anymore. The longer I use Linux, the less the distro matters. I think my channel will change a lot in the next year or so as I do less and less distro-specific content. It's already toned down to the point where I just talk about openSUSE and do a few long-term reviews, but even then, that stuff will happen less often too.

@mr_penguin by that reckoning there’s nothing to buy. So I might as well just not have a computer. Thank you.

Having the oddest internet problem. Some sites are just inaccessible. I can't go to flathub or download from the Packman repo or go to strawpoll. Also the LanguageTool has stopped working because it cannot connect.

It happens across all my devices, so it's not a Linux problem. All other websites, at least so far, work just fine. I have no clue what is going on.

Brand new HP laptop won't post. Says the cmos is corrupt, but all the ways to reset the cmos do not work (and there is no cmos battery)

Pro tip, never buy HP.

I'm okay with Mastodon being the Linux of social media. It doesn't need astronomic growth to be awesome

He is sure letting Iron Mike very close to his ears.

r/unixporn is pretty boring when every post is hyprland and waybar.

The good old days when there were 10 different WMs and DEs that people used and posted rices are over, apparently.

I regret switching to proton mail. The apps are not good at all and the bridge is not reliable. Even if I wanted to just use the webmail,I'd have the same UI issues I have with the electron app. (namely it is impossible to zoom in on an email. Zooming in zooms in on the entire app, which is idiotic)

My first day back on xorg and i3wm has gone very well! Very happy with the change. Finally back on a window manager.

Politics is bad on Mastodon. It is *way, WAY* worse on Bluesky. Wowza.

The refs aren't biased. #nfl

I have the oddest damn Bluefin bug happening. The system gets really effing laggy all the time. The cursor looks like it is constantly having to catch up with itself, making it look like dropped frames, and when typing sometimes it takes extra time for a letter to appear on-screen.

The oddest part is that if I open obs to record this behavior, everything starts to run smooth as butter. I cannot get it to happen on camera, I can't get it to stop off camera.

@thelinuxcast rebooting seems to fix it for a while, but once the monitor goes to sleep, the issue is back again.

@thelinuxcast I thought that maybe it was my kvm switch causing the issue with the mouse so I switched mice and it still keeps happening.

@frassmith Who knows?

Most people seem to have moved to Lawn Chair anyway

Are we ever going to get quote toots? I know they said yes, but that was well over a year ago. #mastodon #fosstodon
