“even if it’s spelled out right in front of their face.”

Brave of you to think these people can read.

if I’m on KDE I just don’t bother using it. I just remove it from my panel. krunner is all I need as it can also run commands.

“you kept making the stops?!”
“YOU’RE BATMAN!”

yeah the battery life was horrible. it would eat 6 AA batteries like they were candy. I only ever used mine when it was either plugged into the wall or plugged in the cars cigarette lighter which my dad hated cause he smoked.

sounds like one of those free use songs that youtube provides when you upload a video so you don’t get copy striked. people actually LIKE this drivel? wow.

oh yeah it’s huge. As of right now Pandemic Horde have lost over 16,000 characters that have quit the alliance. they’re pretty much done. End of an era.

you honestly think I believe that? it was a joke, calm down.

In Ontario and Alberta we have a lot, like seriously a lot, of really dumb people. Anti-Vaxers, Maple MAGAs, etc. Ever wanted to see the Confederate flag flown in the most Northern part of the continent possible? cool, go to Dryden Ontario.

84% of the cases came from these places.

People thinking this is a joke or laughing at this don’t seem to remember when Apple released what was essentially a sock for your ipod video. or how about the $1000 monitor stand? or the wheels for your Powermac that cost hundreds of dollars.

This is Apple folks. If they can find a way to nickle and dime their gullible cultish user base they will do it. They’ve been doing it since…well since the company was founded.

a few years ago I actually started DDP Yoga after messing up my back. it works, it REALLY works. it’s like “holy shit I can move again this is amazing” works. Seriously if you have any kind of movement issues try DDP Yoga.

What helped me when I was a kid were games like Quake 3 Arena, Worms, and Mechwarrior 2, 3, and 4.

Q3A was because of the speed. you had to be fast with the mouse if you hoped to compete. Add to the fact that the bots in Q3A, at the time anyways, were quite good. you can play it offline with bots or even over a local LAN.

Again going back to a LAN staple but Worms is also good. you need precision with the mouse on that one. lots of geometry at play.

Finally the Mechwarrior games which really emphasize the mouse and keyboard combination. Torso Twisting and Flicking, positioning of your legs in regards to your torso, etc. really helps with mouse coordination.

I play EVE Online soooooo this happens daily? multiple times a day?

The political dramas in that game could put actual real world political drama to shame. I mean take what’s currently happening in game right now. A massive alliance named Pandemic Horde decided to evacuate the space they held. fair enough, the issue? Leadership made the announcement they were leaving said space and then…leadership quit. in the same message. Thus all the regular members, literally hundreds of them if not well over 1000, were left on their own in hostile space with all their assets stuck in stations that were now actively being shot at and destroyed by opposing alliances. The players are essentially stuck because all the upper leadership of Pandemic Horde have the massive capital ships that they could have used to save their members by getting them out of system or aiding in destroying the attackers but they said nope, we’re not going to do that. It’s a cluster fuck.

They seem to be doing well in Canada? I don’t know within the past couple years I’ve noticed more and more Wendy’s opening up in Toronto.

Democrats were literally rolling on a much needed win this past week and then yesterday 8 of “them” decided “nah fam, we can’t let that momentum to continue to roll”

Christ on a cracker someone check their bank accounts and/or driveways for new cars. And of course Fetterman is one of them.

when I first started using NixOS I was like you. I refused to use flakes and the home manager cause it just didn’t make sense to me. Then I borked my system royally and had to reinstall. just going off the configuration.nix alone was…it was rough. possible but rough. So I decided to use flake, home manager, along with my configuration and then suddenly NixOS just clicked for me, I finally made sense.

using all 3 just makes your system easier to manage. For example say you use a WM and you want to keep your WM (like niri or hyprland or sway or i3 or whatever) config reproducible just like the rest of your system. Sure you can throw your entire config into the home manager OR you can simply have the home manager literally manage said config. Keep your config files in your “nixos-configs” directory along with your home, flake, and configuration.nix and repo all that, boom it’s backed up and easy to reproduce if something goes wrong or you want to move your ENTIRE system to another computer. I do this for Niri, KDE, Yazi, Aerc, DOOM Emacs, Nvim, whatever I have a config for. So say I royally mess up a config for one of those programs or WMs just like my NixOS I can go back to a previous generation of one of them very easily thanks to my home manager.

Flakes are also good in case you want to use something that hasn’t been packaged on NixOS. Say like some awesome TUI or application someone recently made you can input the git repo into your flake and then “install” it via your home manager. makes things easy.

It also helps to understand and manage if you sort what each thing does. For me I use my home.nix to list packages that I directly interact with. So stuff like Qutebrowser, floorp, steam, OBS, Krita, etc, etc are all in my home manager. stuff that’s more backend/system dependent like git, libnotify, fzf, etc are in my configuration.nix i.e. the config of my OS while the home.nix is just like a package list and config files of things I’m more likely to interact with on a daily basis. It’s easier to manage when things are separate like that.

I keep all of this stuff in its own directory that is a git repo. so before I rebuild I stage it all. then rebuild. if it’s good commit it all, push it to my forgejo, boom instantly backed up. something goes wrong then I can either roll back a generation or clone the repo and rebuild from that.

I also feel it’s the mentality of some former WWE wrestlers that since they were in WWE, on TV, in the “big leagues” so to speak they feel that results in instant bookings and more pay. it’s been this way for years, decades even.

Hell I remember as a kid in the 90s going to indie shows with former WWF talent and they ALWAYS main evented or simply didn’t show when they were advertised. I remember going to a show at Old Tucson Studios in Tucson, AZ in the late 90s where it was supposed to be Yokozuna vs Super Fly Jimmy Snuka in the main event. Yokozuna no showed and it was Jimmy Snuka vs some local jobber. match lasted all of 20 seconds. Then Snuka was charging an arm and leg for a photo and autograph.

for me they’re a “last ditch effort”. If I can’t get something working correctly on NixOS then i’ll just settle for the flatpak but it’s not often that happens. for example I only have 3 flatpaks on my system one of which is discord simply because I found the voice comms work better with the flatpak than the native package.

I might end up switching to appimages though to see if they’re any better.

Loved the first game. I still have my Max Payne mouse pad that came with it. Second one was alright. I don’t think I ever finished the third.

“Capitalism for All!”

“BOOOOOOOOOOOO”

“um…Capitalism for some…MINI BOLIVIA FLAGS FOR EVERYONE ELSE!”

“YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!”
