His and Chance Perdomo’s deaths really got to me

I know your being vague for privacy probably, but my brain is being tired and stupid right now. What sorts of jobs match this description you are providing?

You clearly haven’t chugged chromium water

Never buy an HP laptop for linux. They often try to have some gimmicky special audio hardware with terrible driver support

🤷‍♀️ it seems good at recovering from crashes except for Dolphin

I prefer GNOME for the UX but I do appreciate KDE’s customization and settings. KDE seems more unstable though, I’ve had plenty of crashes from it vs GNOME

My nvidia card causes horrendous screen tearing in VR if my monitor supports variable refresh rate. I have to unplug the gaming monitor to use VR

Yes, I use this monitor in hdr mode in both GNOME and KDE. I’ve been complaining about hdr on linux endlessly but it’s gotten good support in the last 6 months or so on both. The new GNOME video player and the mpv flatpak both display hdr videos fine out of the box with no configuration. Firefox displays HDR videos (but not images yet) experimentally on wayland with a config option. With a couple of custom launch options and GE-Proton, I’ve been playing games in HDR too.

I’m reading this on my hdr monitor on linux

what does it mean to be knowledgeable in tarot or astrology?

I’ve donated more to private trackers than I probably would pay for several years of a streaming service

(a private linux iso tracker, of course)

Not an embedded dev. What’s the Rust situation in the embedded world? Is it ever used?

I went to look for a link for you and found that I was misremembering. I was thinking of Alexandra Elbakyan, the creator of Sci-Hub, one of the libraries that Anna’s Archive indexes. In case you’re curious about her, here’s an archive of her personal page on Sci-Hub

most of them are vorbis actually, and not reencoded from spotify

iirc her writings gave me the impression that she basically worships communism and famous soviet communist leaders in a vaguely religious way. I can go look again later and elaborate. It could just be the language barrier that gave me that impression.

Edit: I was misremembering Alexandra Elbakyan, the creator of Sci-Hub, as Anna of Anna’s Archive. Oops

I fucking love annas archive.

Anna does seem rather insane though

why ICES?

Well it kind of stands for nothing, because at the center of this onion is GNU, which is recursive. It stands for “GNU’s Not UNIX”, so the G in GNU stands for GNU.

please god no
