MS DOS v4.somthing. (1995)

Slackware that came on three 5.25" floppies. (1997)

First hard drive Linux: Debian.

Eventually red hat for several years, then back to Debian based (mint etc) around 2005. Been using Sid (Debian "unstable") for a long time.

Sorry, nope. Do not want.

Specifically, do not want the following:

  • menstruation, cramps, PMS etc
  • beauty and dress standards
  • condescension
  • social expectations of conduct
  • lower pay and sometimes a hostile work environment (can go for anyone depending on the job - see male nurses)
  • clothing without pockets - you can take my cargo pants from my cold dead hands.

Do want (but does not in any way make up for above):

  • more colors and patterns in my clothes
  • giving birth is kinda cool

The original saying is "If at once you don't succeed, try, try again."

So yes, try exactly two more times.

Daler Mehndi's 1998 music video, in which the singer performs with 4 "clones" of himself. "Mehndi claims his music was often criticized for only being popular due to the abundance of beautiful, dancing women in his videos The singer responded by creating a video that featured nobody but himself." Apparently he wasn't wrong and...

I believe in the death of the author. This helps me separate the art and the artist.

Bad people do good things and not everyone can be judged by their worst acts.

I wouldn't pay for any of his art anymore, but I still enjoy the songs I have already without guilt.

You picked a Hitchcock frame as a meme and didn't go for one from Birds. Shame!

This is somehow even funnier if you imagine that the "daddy" is Bruce Banner.

Why would I waste time on a worse copy, though? I can still watch the original when I like.

The whole point is that this is not new. Or I might have given it a try. They nailed it the first time. Why not try something else new?

It was me. I go to the planetarium to escape this planet. I have enough of it the rest of my life.

So show me something else. Or I'll boo.

Existing established open source projects? Basically never.

My own piles of shit with open source licenses? All the time.

I'm sorry, this is all just a big misunderstanding. When the Risa mods said "no rules', they meant for themselves. Not for the rest of us.

Hope that clears it all up.

Newpipe is not being rewritten. They have chosen to do progressive improvements instead:

Newpipe is not being rewritten and definitely not unmaintained: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/discussions/10118?tab=readme-ov-file#discussioncomment-8180701

No. No grand rewrite either:

Shit like this made me dump Mint more than a decade ago. I've been very happy with Debian (Sid).

Gonna respectfully disagree back at you. You don't have to get a $100 crapsung, but most people whose work depends on a good phone still don't need a $2000 top of the line phone.

An iPhone SE or Pixel ?a phone is more than sufficient for almost anyone anything more I'm probably going to call opulence.

While I was single I had multiple side projects for my own amusement.

More recently, I haven't had time to scratch that itch and the urge has been getting worse to the point that I'm now doing a bit of side stuff during work hours (but not on work hardware).

(Constructively) What is your least favorite distro & why?

I’ve been distrohopping for a while now, and eventually I landed on Arch. Part of the reason I have stuck with it is I think I had a balanced introduction, since I was exposed to both praise and criticism. We often discuss our favorite distros, but I think it’s equally important to talk about the ones that didn’t quite hit...

I never figured out why, but I couldn't get any version of suse to work properly on my computers. I've been with Debian (sid) for about a decade now, so not the most up to date criticism here.

What does dragon breath smell like?

I got my hands on MPEG-V standard documents which lets me inject "SEM" (sensory effect metadata) inside .mp4 files which would let me program real world stuff on cues like lights, chair movements, water sprays, etc. So literally if I had a NAS with a hoard of movies and bought the right equipment, i could make 4DX at home....

@akincisor@sh.itjust.works avatar

My guess is dragons breath is produced by a combination of two glands that produce chemicals that are hypergolic. This is seen in nature in bombardier beetles (which use hydroquinone + hydrogen peroxide).

The smell would certainly depend on the combination of chemicals, but a hot burnt and charred smells are probably common to all possibilities. The unburnt chemicals are likely to be irritants, being either strong oxidizers or reducers.

Overall, even after the main blaze has cooled, I would expect the area (and downwind) to be unsafe for humans and respiratory issues for those exposed to the remnants.

No, no, see... They bought Indian oil from India. You know India, known for their oil reserves. Totally not Russian I tell you.
