As someone who has only been using Linux for a few years ( >5 ), yeah I do.

Definitely know what cron/cronning is, but I’ll definitely have to look up what yum-cronning is.

Edit:

I’m an idiot and correct in my thinking that yum was referring to the yum package management thing, which I don’t use on my system. Sounds cool, though. Might look into automating my setup, but it’s become such a routine for me to run the script I’m not sure if I could easily switch.

I’ll gladly take even the most worst singing done by a born deaf 5 year old before I start intentionally listening to fully AI generated music.

So I must be one of the biggest nobody’s out there.

As a basic Linux user, I have a shell script to do all my updating, upgrading, removing of unneeded packages, etcetera. Under no circumstances is it all that advanced, just a string of simple enough apt and flatpak commands.

I also recently figured out that god knows how long ago that I set an alias to run it that’s only 3 keyboard clicks instead of 5, saving basically less than a second. So not that useful, but still good to know… until I inevitably forget about it again.

C for me because if I want you to know how my day is going, I’ll let you know.

On a personal level, I don’t like the see through towers or really basically any RGB. I have a keyboard that has RGB and if I could turn it off while also being able to see the keys properly, I would turn it off. It’s currently at the lowest setting I can do it and still see the keys.

Also not a fan of the super fancy schmancy gaming mice because I’m a firm believer trackball mice are superior.

No opinion on gaming headsets other than the ones with the attached mic are stupid looking. Design of headphones and such are slightly less important to me than the sound quality, so I can let some dumb designs slide if the quality is fantastic.

That would be a large portion of the country. Last I checked, I don’t know of many, if any, politicians who voted “No!” when the time came. So unless I’m mistaken and some did, you’d be polluting the ocean and because the average American is like 300lbs ( source: I made it the fuck up ), we’d just end up damming it up and causing devastation.

Fair enough.

When cooked well enough, I’d say 1 2 4 5 8 3 6 7.

Ain’t no way I’d ever put wedges higher or shoelace lower. Those are always gonna be constant.

I may not like the .ml political stance, but there are definitely people on there that may have non-political things worth listening to, which is why I haven’t bothered blocking them. They may have some good opinions on open source software and such. I just avoid their news community because I know I will disagree with them and their stance.

Normally I’d be on solid ground, in a tent, with a sleeping mat beneath my sleeping bag, so it would probably be safe to keep my clothes under it, probably towards the end of the bag near my feet. I’ve also never had any sort of ice forming on my sleeping bag before since we always had tents for every campout as needed.

Maybe I’m misremembering the advice or it’s bad advice, but in general I am probably never gonna have another chance to test this advice. So I’ll take your word for it.

On the whole hate speech thing, I posted something about Odysee here and someone made some hopeful “if enough people start using it and drowning out the hate speech” kind of comment. IDK if I can find it because I’d need to do a deep dive into my old .ee account, but I don’t believe that things like hate could ever be drowned out on fringe sites like that.

I have, and never will, understand how the fuck being trans gives you any sort of advantage in chess. Only thing I have ever rationalized about this is that the people saying it surely must be sexist cave people.

No matter what, don’t go in the winter.

As someone who hates the cold with a passion, there’s nothing worse than waking up cold in the morning because you either didn’t have on enough to keep you warm during a cold winter night in a sleeping bag or had on too much and wake up cold from sweating throughout the night.

Winter campouts are the only camps I absolutely do not miss at all from my time at scouts. The cold mornings are enough for me to not suggest it, despite it not actually being that bad after you’ve warmed up.

Though, on a more serious note, one of the things I do remember being taught but never followed through with for various reasons is to put your clothes for the next day under your sleeping bag so that way the next day they should be warm or at least warmer so you aren’t putting on freezing cold clothes. Especially good for things like jeans because there’s nothing worse than putting on jeans with frigid cold metal buttons if your hands are already trembling a little from the cold winter morning in general.

IDK about anyone else, but if I could be secretly paid to spread anti-communist propaganda, so long as it’s a connection I can easily hide from people as long as I’m alive, I would be taking secret payments. As it is, my family wouldn’t think anything about it because they know my stance on this kinda stuff. And I could probably get away with it so long as I’m given a grace period to slowly start showing myself off more as anti-communist on Mastodon.

Would be up my alley, especially if/when war inevitably breaks out between China and Taiwan. I’ve already got plans to support any side supporting Taiwan if I’m in a country that gets dragged into the war, so yeah. Can’t do military service because of my heart condition and I doubt any reasonable military would let me in, so I’d be down to be a propagandist and be doing civilian duty for said country. Even if it means being forced to learn a new language.

I haven’t been necessarily patriotic for a long time because why pledge allegiance to a single nation? The only reason I really care about July 4 is the fireworks. It’s more tradition than anything that I see them.

Anyways, both of his terms make me feel vindicated in not being patriotic in a country.

Haven’t been touching my Steam profile a lot recently for games, but I’ve at least been doing some Gemcraft Frostborn Shadows.

Other than that, I actually got back into Sonic Lost Worlds on 3DS. As much as I hate the special stages, one single stage on an unmodded PC version of the game made me realize that movement sucks a little less on the 3DS version.

In other words, I don’t endorse getting the Steam version of you have a 3DS unless you wanna mod it to make the movements less jank. Definitely not a good Sonic game, regardless of device, because of the movement like turning being atrocious.

On a personal level, I don’t trust personal diagnoses for things like autism because, from my understanding, it could be something similar to ADHD or something else that might be confused for autism that’s causing any issues you might have.

I would personally at least let people you tell this to, if you go through with using a self-diagnosis, that it’s not confirmed so they don’t get confused or whatever else they may feel if you ever somehow get diagnosed in the future.

Can’t speak for everyone, but I’d be a little annoyed if someone kept confidently claiming it’s gotta be autism and then they get diagnosed and it turns out to be something else. Not annoyed enough to wanna do anything, but more annoyed about the confidence about a self-diagnosis.

This is the type of ad I absolutely don’t mind because they aren’t for absolutely soulless companies that will fuck your grandma and then sue you for emotional damages afterwards.

Regardless of whether you’re in a part of the country where the effects of you speaking up won’t have as much consequence, I don’t think it’s morally wrong to try and keep yourself, friends, family, and loved ones safe by not speaking out.

This idea that you could have Cloudflare help by telling off AI crawlers sounds nice, but how long until it becomes a premium feature that requires loads of money to operate because AI companies lobby them to make it inaccessible to the masses? Or something equally as bad happens?
