Unless we’re talking about pets, funny enough.

The moment you get rid of the phone, you start turning into a sheep? Better hold onto mine then, I suppose.

Why, it was just yesterday when I… oh, come to think of it, that was nearly a decade ago. Huh.

2h after sunset, eh? In summer when the sun doesn’t set, all my negative thoughts shall be valid! Woooo! (that’s actually some good advice you’re giving though)

In general and if you don’t know the person you’re making the recommendation to, agreed. But I know several people I’d definitely recommend (and have recommended) Arch to as the first distro. Even just the installation process is so educational, it’s a worthy starting point, after some general youtube videos perhaps. If someone just wants to take Linux for a quick test drive, Arch definitely isn’t the way to go.

Although, I’ll admit I’m not sure how to describe the type of people I’d recommend it to. If their interest is less practical, and more theoretical. Or if they get really into their hobbies and like to tinker and poke at things to see what happens. Or if they just have an endless curiosity and need to understand. Surprisingly many people I know fall into these categories.

That was pretty much me when I first decided to try installing Arch… at 2am.

This whole “mixed reality experience” thing has me curious: do any of you just add imaginary images to your surroundings in your mind? Just by visualizing?

For example, I have several paintings on my walls that aren’t real, but look to me as if they were. I switch them up depending on mood, or just turn them off. Or just basic stuff like having words and numbers floating in front of me as an aid when doing math or planning?

I just browse things for fun, mostly. I rarely have anything important to add, so I rarely even comment.

I did try making a few memes, but I don’t really have ideas for general memes. I only make memes for specific friends about some very specific thing they or I said or did, and those don’t really fit in here.

Older houses definitely have them… but there was this trend at some point to renavate older houses and remove the oil heaters and fireplaces and wood heated saunas, and replace everything with electric ones. Why? No idea, trends are weird.

The couple of people I’ve got to try it out didn’t stick either. But after a few years, they are now switching some old laptops to Linux to keep using them. Which is quite nice to see! It makes me happy just to see people giving Linux a chance, but even happier when they actually get some benefit out of it.

I love this. I’ll also probably have nightmares tonight now that I’ve been reminded of Lovecraft’s stories. XD

The new swiping behavior is grinding my gears as well. With so many options for it in the settings, I’m surprised they didn’t just have the people in channel list as an option. I’m also not a big fan of the private message section, but it doesn’t bother me nearly as much. Overall a nice update though.

I actually hadn’t… but now I have! The tea cup refused to move though, unfortunate.

At first glance I thought that chip was covered in small bugs.

Wait… I’m supposed to follow instructions?

This kinda happened to me once when she noticed my browser doesn’t save history. I then spent the rest of the evening showing her how to do that on her browser as well as going through all the other browser settings, some extensions and themes (she picked one with purple and pink flowers).

Oops, I almost missed the meme just looking at the picture.

Why does anyone need any temperature? I find it most comfortable! I’ve also noticed sleep is a lot better when the air is a bit cooler. Anything above 18°C just makes me feel uncomfortably warm.

I like to keep my home at 16°C (60.8°F) when possible. Summers are hell.
