I’d love to answer OP, but that description somehow made me forget everything I’ve ever eaten.

We say poo butt… What an odd thing to have in common with a stranger on the internet lmao

The many tools around this are interesting. “Web clipping” I think is the generic phrase for it. I got kind of deep into it from of a desire to wrangle ADHD, and a bit of datahoarding and knowledge mapping. Omnivore is one I liked for text articles, and there’s super niche applications like Zotero.

Is this the genesis of British “humour”? Thomas, a Becket, even got the name in the time of Shakespeare.

Waiting for somebody to eviscerate me over British history, cause all I know is Monty Python.

Fullofshititis. To be fair, he also suffers from a genetic million-dollar-loan disease. His brain was probably riddled with it at a young age. Never had a chance, but that’s still no excuse.

I’d almost say he has some weird-ass DNA that allows him to survive it like Ozzy, but it’s probably just the capitalism worms.

Generally I agree. It feels kind of shoehorned in when desktop is your goal, like more of an afterthought or side effect of the overall focus.

The main thing I hang on to is the code-specified configuration. I never got into managing dotfiles with arch, but that could be a better solution for many people. Especially along with btrfs, numerous containerization options, and whatnot.

I went from Arch to NixOS, so I can offer a bit there.

You definitely won’t want to rely on it until you know a good amount and get comfortable. Things can be made to work, but knowing how to get it done is the main thing most of the time.

Regarding package availability, it’s just a matter of a few oddly esoteric incantations and version controlled code, usually. Binaries are another story but still possible, and python is a special case of that.

It has been an annoyance for me, but I’ve also learned a lot by getting things to work. If you use any niche python stuff you’re bound to run into something. A bunch is already packaged and works fine, though. Either way there’s a bit of extra nuance, which is more to learn.

You don’t have to start with NixOS and can feel it out using nix on any distro. It can be hard to tell if someone will vibe with it. All that said, it could be more than you’re looking to get into, but you can ease into it if you’re interested.

Oh man, I remember a friend having a heavy duty OtterBox. We were hanging out in the campus stadium and lobbing it as far as we could… That same night someone did a trustfall from the goal post. We had fun.

I don’t know how I went so long without breaking a screen. Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5s across 4 or 5 years, scuffed edges but never the screen.

It was the galaxy S7 that finally went. I swear I dropped it a foot or less while sitting down in my car. From coat pocket into the console gap. Not out even out the door, and that had happened before without breaking. I was so mad that that was what did it.

I didn’t even use a case religiously until the S7! I blame the obsession with all glass phones.

You nearly killed me with a damn meme. I can’t breathe lmao, jesits take the wheel

True. I’ve worked in pretty small teams with usually 2-4 devs paired, so it kind of worked out as both what we got through, what’s next priority, and how we plan to split out that day. Especially if we were light on stories.

It’s quite a thing, that could only be a product of the 70s. Might make you go “huh?”, and is almost certainly the only context I feel comfortable with the word transvestite today.

Yeah but then I’m up and sitting there like “oh shit, what the hell did I do yesterday?”

flamin hot Cheeto fermentation

No need to apologize. I have a feeling you’ll be paying for your crimes soon enough.

“I know you’re sick of it, but I’m gonna need you to get the chicken Parm again. Trust the process!”

But babe, we have to go out tonight. It’s for science!

I was going to make a joke that you didn’t even mention the tubes, but TIL that’s anti-net-neutrality idiot propaganda :( Idk why I thought it was, like, Tim Burners Lee or someone trying to explain things to non-nerds.

Mad Men was hard for me to keep up with because I just hated everyone and it made me angry

There are a few moments that nod straight to Breaking Bad though, like Tuco’s entry. It had me fanboying and hyped for the directing/writing especially across shows. I also feel like you can really get a sense of the writers’ personal development coming off of Breaking Bad, like they refined so much that was already some of the best TV. And the contrast between Walt’s unreal saga and how Saul is so humanized; he’s deeply flawed but just a guy trying to make it.

I really need to finish Better Call Saul.

I can’t believe I forgot about Letterkenny. The riffing is just so good, it doesn’t get old, and every character is perfect. And the music, especially season one’s display is exactly my taste. The whole show is top notch, but season one is something special.

Schitt’s Creek, too. Both are Canadian gems. I love how like half of the cast is Eugene Levy’s family, and Dan Levy is bae. It’s one of the few comedies to bring me to tears, I’m pretty sure more than once.

So many shows have to be tied for number one for me lmao. Every time I look back at this thread the list gets longer.
