Freakishly warm today in the midwest too, raining warm rain too, very odd weather for winter season

Fucking UPS with the same garbage, the form for changing your address was broken and would display an error, the phone call support refused to help and told me to “just use the online form”. I wocked around it by opening the form, pressing the back button, opening it again, and then it would display properly… Just to change a single fucking number in the apartment unit category. Those are 2 hours of my life I’m never getting back.

Nice, getting pretty iffed with the way neafotch refuses to align the category titles without special bash scripting

There’s a video from the YouTuber Noodle who does a good job explaining it

2 reinstalls now* I had to upgrade my NVME drive and the old one shit the bed while I was moving data, so everything on this system is fresh now… At least I keep the important stuff backed up in git haha

Yes, and for some odd reason a lot of folks I know who are lactose intolerant are also slightly allergic to eggs…

7 years strong here with only 1 reinstall to switch to 64 bit

The real terminal fun comes from accidentally entering grub’s rescue mode when you fuck the config up, and then having to frantically remember how to boot linux manually

My computer? Nikkis-pad, cause it always sat ontop of my big ol desk mousepad.

My phone???
Cream daddy of the abyss.

No I will not tell you why

now I want one

Not common in the US I believe, or at least I haven’t heard or seen one of them.

You just gotta “guess” what’s correct and then feel the water coming out

Nebraska is the exception, this state has some of the weirdest price of living to wage ratios. For example, in my town you cannot find a job that pays more than minimum wage without commuting to the other towns around you. But the rent is set at a point where you would need to work for $16 to $20 an hour to afford roof AND food. Wild stuff

Threat Level Midnigt*

Some of the conservative psychopaths are so adamant against them because they are “too big”, or think they make noise? Like do these idiots think that the turbines make wind???

Artemis is getting its public beta soon, so an apollo esc app with kbins microblog and lemmy support makes it worthwhile to stick around

The no text mode could very well be a nvidia issue, I gave up on using their cards some time ago when Wayland came out and nvidia was slow as hell on the uptake. Nvidia cards in general have more wacky bugs outside of the normal gui environments they were designed for. I had a 1050ti that would only display text mode in 320x240 mode with the proprietary drivers, and then would only display on one screen with the open sauce ones. Overall after switching to AMD I havent had any driver bugs besides the ones related to ryzen APUs locking up when switching power states, and that’s been resolved for a little over a month. But I do understand why NVIDIA is the preferred choice for a lot, the performance difference is very real

What graphics card do you use, and also what kind of cable? Sometimes when using dvi in hdmi compat mode it cannot read the displays information and defaults to rendering with basic vesa drivers, or just defaulting to the smallest size to at least make sure that you have a picture

Windows has a hell of time with certain hardware, and with the introduction of windows 10 they tried getting you to login to a microsoft account at every turn, it became a huge hassle since half the time I had shitty internet that would drop out for hours at a time. While windows can be easier to use, I break those installations constantly and have to reinstall frequently. I’ve been using the same /home directory on my arch install for the past 5 years and have only had to reinstall when my new laptop had a smaller NVME drive than the raid 1-0 setup I used before it

That?

I’d love to have my fate be decided by the chance of getting a left or right twix
