  • Idk, I’ve had all kinds of mirrors in my dreams. Portal mirrors, regular mirrors, you leave but your reflection doesn’t follow mirrors, creepy thing behind you reflection mirrors, only the background is different mirrors, and many books I’ve read from.

    But come to think of it, never a smartphone.

    Debian didn’t have a stable release until 1996… Even Slackware didn’t shape up nicely until around 98 from what I remember. SLS gave it a GUI but wasn’t well maintained. Linux wasn’t really “good” until early 2000s at the very least.

    I just wanted to play Space Cadet Pinball or Commander Keen as a kid, not compile my programs.

    You’re clearly talking about modern Linux.

    And then there’s 90s Linux because your parents got a used computer with a friend that came with only that and they didn’t want to spend money buying windows 😢 it’s like learning to swim by being yeeted into the ocean, with a couple sharks hanging around.

    At least 80s kids got assembly.





  • Here you go, gen z* version:

    So, this one time, Jesus was walking through the village again, right? A kid ran up and accidentally bumped into him, like full-on shoulder check. Jesus was not having it and straight-up said, “You’re not gonna make it to wherever you’re headed.” Boom, the kid dropped dead. People who saw it were like, “Yo, who even is this kid? Everything he says actually happens!”

    The dead kid’s parents came for Joseph, all mad, saying, “Bruh, you can’t stay in this village if your kid’s out here cursing people and getting them killed. Like, teach him to chill and bless people or something!”

    So Joseph pulled Jesus aside, like, “Hey dude, why are you doing this? People are mad at us, and they’re gonna come for us!” But Jesus was like, “I know you didn’t come up with that yourself, but fine, I’ll let it slide for you. Still, these people? They’re gonna get what’s coming to them.” And just like that, the people accusing him went blind.


  • I called it in 2015 when I stated Trump would win because the Democrats have moved too far right and people are angry or indifferent and will vote for Trump for the sake/hope of any change, and that even though hell probably lose re-election he or anyone else that’s populist would win right after that.

    I moved to another country almost 6 years ago now. I was prepping since Highschool when I had seen Bush steal the election via the supreme court and Florida beforehand and Obama’s policies afterwards being just as right-wing in many ways. I only had some hope at first since he had raised the minimum wage, but the ACA was too strong a compromise.

    Though if you studied history, you could say the USA was eventually doomed to fail ever since the Civil War’s aftermath was solved “amicably”. That allowed the cancer to remain and spread again. The whole “unity for the sake of unity” bs started then.

    Orange Pi 3b with dietpi.

    I’ve had Big screen work before in Raspberry Pi 4 (even made a meme about back when I was tinkering around with different OS’s on it to see potential uses for my rpi), but Orange Pis are cheaper and the hardware is more open source, so I’m curious if I would get better responsiveness out of it. Plus the Orange Pi I have has 8gb too.

    I like your Steam Big picture idea too.

    Don’t know, have been thinking of making something easy to use for awhile for some of my family members anyway. But has to be really easy since they’re not the most tech literate (well may my mom and definitely dad. If he can use whatever I make, anyone can).
