When the poop knife fails, bring out the pogo plunger.

I was just a tech-obsessed teenager who thought it seemed cool. Messed around with it but since gaming was a pain in the ass I shelved it and went to Windows. Eventually administering Linux systems became my career.

Windows 11 is hot garbage. I haven’t had anything outright break, but with my hardware my machine should not be as slow as it is. Installed Ubuntu since it’s what I messed around with as a teenager and here we are.

However, now that gaming is even relatively painless in Linux, it’s here to stay on my personal desktop. A couple tools still require a Windows install but 90% of my usage is Linux and I don’t see that changing any time soon.

EDIT: I wouldn’t say I’m an evangel or anything. I don’t preach Linux to people, nor would I want to get my friends and family into it. The last thing I want to do is troubleshoot their botched install because they fucked around with system files and broke something.

I wouldn’t really say I’m obsessed either, it’s an OS. It allows me to actually do the things I want to do, and quickly. I enjoy it but I don’t plan on distro hopping, making low level tweaks, or anything. It just works and lets me work and play games. That’s good enough for me.

Game Maker is still only in beta for Linux. They warn against working on serious projects on it because it can just randomly break them.

You know what? Ubuntu. There I said it.

I’ve been using it since 2007 - 7.04 was my first foray into Linux ever. At present day it’s been the most “it just works” distro for me. I installed it and… that’s it. Everything just worked.

I don’t care about the “ads” in the terminal. I don’t care that it’s “bloated” (even the most bloated distro is less bloated than Windows).

If a company is porting their software to Linux, chances are they’re focusing on Ubuntu. Not Debian. Not Mint. Ubuntu.

If something isn’t working, chances are there’s a community post about it with a working solution.

It’s cool that distro hopping is a hobby for a lot of people. It isn’t for me. I want no bullshit, just set it up and let it work so I can focus on doing stuff within the OS, not setting up and fine tuning the OS itself day in and day out. And for me that’s Ubuntu.

Wow. Amateur hour over here. There’s a much easier way to write this.

A case select:

select(number){
    case 1:
        return false;
    case 2:
        return true;
}

And so on.

One child rule. Minimum.

It’s unfathomably stupid that Samsung removed it for the Flip series, but I suspect it was a cost cutting measure.

Sorry, I think you mean amazing movie series with the possessed doll.

No support for the Z Flip series. Lame. Still would be useful to use as a desktop monitor or something.

Google search results are literally the only time I read Reddit content these days, and I’m sure I’m not alone in that regard. They’re going to lose so many views if they block their content on Google.

Their greed made me put on my eye patch years ago. And since then I’ve only convinced more to do the same.

Screw these greedy bastards.

My cat used to eat any amount of garbage bag that hung over the edge of my garbage can. Got her on a mineral supplement, that issue went away relatively quickly. It’s cheap too - I think the supplement I got was $15 or so. Been giving her some every day for six months or so and I still have a third of a can left.

She’s had multiple rounds of deworming. My vet has given her a clean bill of health, but yet she still eats all food like it’s the last in the world.

It’s going to be a challenge eventually - my girlfriend has two cats that free feed. If we move in together, my cat is going to need to learn to chill the hell out or we’re going to need to get one of those smart feeders and only authorize her cats.

My cat is broken. Any amount of food put in front of her will be eaten as quickly as possible. Even if it makes her puke from being too full. She has zero self-regulation. She’s a former street cat so maybe that’s where she gets it from?

The only way I prevent her from inhaling her food in literally (I timed it - literally) 30 seconds is her lick mat. Mush her raw food into the mat so she has to lick it up instead of just smashing her face into a wad of meat. Now it takes her maybe a minute and a half.

I would pronounce it like Giraffe without the ra - unlike the GIF file format which is like Gift without the t.

I will take all your orange ones. You can have all my red ones.

This too shall pass. So will the next thing.

It helps though.
