Uncritical support for this post.

If you can’t butcher your own meat, you’re using the disconnect of letting someone else handle that trauma for you to allow yourself to be complicit in the murder of a being.

Kill it and cut it yourself, or don’t fucking eat it.

Is that a bad thing?

Have you considered doing stupid shit and used Bedrock Linux?

It’s great, but it’s still baking

Once upon a time I wanted to start a coffee shop/bookstore back when I lived in Texas. Looked into the laws around starting business and it turns out that to own and operate a business in Texas you must swear fealty to Israel.

Fuck that

Unlauncher changed my life and helped me break my addiction to my phone by using monochrome home screen with no icons so I didn’t get dopamine hits when I looked at my screen to open an app.

Tasker is wonderful for automating tasks

KLWP is great if you want to go full custom with your Homescreen and Lockscreen, allowing you to generate custom interactive live wallpapers which can act as a dashboard or as a launcher

For anyone who lives in Houston Texas or the surrounding area, Space City Weather is a phenomenal no bullshit, no ads, just weather app.

Dualshock 4 is great.

If you’re not gonna use it often and want a cheaper one, the Logitech F710 (wireless version of the f310) is great, just don’t use it for your submarines

Install the DEs manually instead of from metapackages so ,out don’t end up with their entire software suites being installed. Additionally, probably use Debian instead of Ubuntu if you’re gonna be doing stuff like that, less fingers in the pie make for an easier tinkering experience.

I just click allow and close the pop-up lol, haven’t had issues with it blocking me from playing. I use the YouTube Enhancer extension rather than a dedicated blocker, maybe that’s why?

Something something something… All publicity is good publicity

Reddit’s recent API changes making it difficult to moderate the communities I was in charge of was the final straw for me. Tbh I’m surprised the racism, transphobia, and rampant sinophobia didn’t scare me away sooner.

I’m digging hexbear and the lemmyverse, y’all are cool as fuck… mostly.

Try gparted on a liveUSB, you don’t wanna modify the partitions you’re actively using because it can(read: will) result in data loss.

If you’re willing to spend a little bit of time on it and actually know what’s happening behind the scenes, read the man-pages for fdisk and do it manually from a TTY, but for cereal, use a liveUSB and ffs do NOT mount the filesystems first

Icecat takes too long to compile

Been boycotting Starbucks for years, ever since they showed their workers how little they care by giving them a meditation app instead of reasonable work expectations.

Still can’t believe I wasted 4 years of my life working for that shithouse

It’s funny, but why?

Quite a few of the unhoused folks in my area must be bourgeois by that logic

So, the big thing with instability is that with Linux “Unstable” refers to “Constantly receiving updates” rather than “Breaks all the time”

In my experience, if arch breaks, 99% of the time YOU the user did it.

If you want a kinkless experience with it, keep it simple.

Arch ships with systemd, as such, it also ships with systemd-boot. Use what’s built, don’t add additional bootloaders unless you need the functionality they offer.

Gnome, Matlab, and VScode have wiki pages for installation and configuration, and Firefox is in the repos and is one line in the terminal to install (#pacman -S firefox)

For a first install, I’d recommend following the wiki to install instead of using archinstall to familiarize yourself with how to use and read the wiki.

Sick burn

I wash with plain water and a little bit of citric acid or vinegar.

Keep (unused) silica gel kitty litter in a mesh bag in your fridge to lower the relative humidity, I lived in a swamp for a while too :/

Edit: dry your silica gel in the oven every couple weeks, once it looks like it’s losing its transparency.

Wash your veggies when you buy them, dry them thoroughly, and store them in a sanitary environment; they’ll last much longer this way.

I regularly keep my organic veggies for weeks at a time before cooking them with no molds or rotting.

It also helps to buy from a growers market where things haven’t been in cold storage for months before getting to the store.

I feel weird going to highschool football games, but I have way more fun watching those than professional games. Commercial breaks have taken games that should only last a couple hours at most and stretched them into all day affairs
