I honestly liked 8.1 quite a bit - once I installed Classic Shell to not have to deal with the new UI. A first year usability student could have foreseen the massive issues trying to weld a touch screen UI and a traditional desktop metaphor would raise, but Microsoft for some reason were completely pig headed about making it work. It didn’t. It can’t. You can not staple two completely different UI paradigms together and have it work smoothly. Other than that, 8.1 was remarkably good experience for me. It felt really snappy under the hood. Good OS brought down by hubris. Well, good for a Windows release, at least. Use Linux.

3.11 was pretty good. After that it’s been a mixed bag. A bag of shit, but mixed.

Yes and no.

I have also been very content with Posteo.

Is it though? Is it? Though?

Edit: Never mind, I misunderstood something. From what I remember, this post is more or less an accurate description of what to expect.

It’s a really good game. Check it out!

Looks great! Where can I download this theme?

Years ago I tried running Debian on my desktop computer and it became very quickly apparent it was not suited to my needs because of the out-of-date software. These days I only really consider rolling release distros for my desktop, or at least something with a fairly snappy release schedule. If I went for Debian, I’d probably run sid or testing.

Now, in situations where the bleeding edge is not necessary, Debian is fantastic. I’ve run it on my laptop, Raspberry Pi server and PinePhone. On the laptop, having a solid base that doesn’t break if I don’t use it for a while was great, since I didn’t use that laptop often. I did use flatpaks for some applications that I really wanted to be more recent and it worked nicely. So yes, you can use Debian as a solid base and use Flatpaks/Appimages/other to run apps you really need the newest version of, where available of course.

He didn’t leave, he just went on to invent metal.

People trying to have long-form discussions on Twitter/X has baffled me since the beginning. It is decidedly not the right platform for that and it was never designed to be. In fact, its design clearly discourages any meaningful discourse. I have never been able to wrap my head around that site and its users.

I’d be perfectly fine if everything was just mixed mono. I see little value in stereo. I’m weird like that.

He does appear to be reasonably black, yes.

It’s pretty good actually. Tastes way less like shit than your average cup of coffee anyway.

Yes, yes I am.

[Richard Stallman] usually does not browse the web directly from his personal computer. Instead, he uses GNU Womb’s grab-url-from-mail utility, an email-based proxy which downloads the webpage content and then emails it to the user.

If you’re not doing this you’re not properly paranoid.

Aw yeah, I also love browsing the internet on meth!
