I’m not technically inclined at all, so the most duct tapey thing I can remember was hacking Gnome to use Nemo as my file browser instead of Gnome’s default file browser once.

Hi! You can call me Tadpole. I enjoy maps/geography, sci-fi and speculative fiction, classic and sports cars and motorsports, and retro and retrofuturistic technology from the 70s-90s. Also a racing, role-playing, indie and retro video game connossieur.
I am a certified lurker.

Fair enough! That’s a good point.
I’d say not at all. Venus has an atmosphere 92 times denser than ours filled with sulphuric acid, its average temperature is hot enough to melt lead (455°C/850°F), probes sent there never lasted more than two hours before being completely destroyed, and it for some reason rotates backwards compared to other planets.
Mars doesn’t have any of these issues and mostly resembles a cold desert with a very thin atmosphere, so it’s far similar to Earth than Venus is.
I’m Latin American, I’ve seen some people use Latinx here, but I personally prefer Latine because it rolls off the tongue much easier. Ideally though, I’d personally rather be called Latin American to avoid the pronoun altogether. Again, though, that’s a personal preference of mine - in languages with gendered pronouns, I personally prefer avoiding using pronouns toward myself altogether as much as possible.
At least in my experience, it’s not really uniformly decided and also became a Culture War thing in here as well.
It’s feeding time for princess again!
I actually use KDE Plasma myself, I just like to keep my desktop themes consistent since there are a bunch of GTK programs I use ^^’
Reactionary is really good. I do wish there was an equivalent for GTK4/Libadwaita, though.
That is very considerate of Windows 95, I could get used to this.
Sadly, that doesn’t matter to them - at least from what I’ve seen, the predominating narrative among rightists and “centrists” is that he only registered Republican to sabotage/protest-vote in their primaries, and that therefore he’s actually far-left Antifa did it.
I’m also black (but not American) and I felt the same way reading this lol
Use any you want. I’ve been mounting my internal secondary hard drive on /mnt for well over a year now and haven’t had any problems. Previously, I mounted it on ~/Storage
and it also worked fine (though only because I’m the only user in my computer; dual-user systems would result in the other user being unable to access the hard drive).
I get what you mean. I see a decent chunk of often more tech-proficient Linux users putting down Linux Mint, and it saddens me because even though I don’t use Mint anymore, it was still the first distro I properly daily-drove and I still consider it an amazing system for people who are new to Linux.
I’m very glad you’ve been having a good experience with Mint!
I’m the one on the left and need my own punk girlfriend like the one on the right 🥺
It’s simple: they never stopped being racist, they just try to not say it out loud anymore.
It makes me really sad that the space station is going to be destroyed since I always really liked it, but the sheer amount of fuel needed to move it to a stable position makes me (begrudgingly) understand why they’re going to do it…
Honestly, you don’t have to worry about what others say, you should use what works best for you. Personally I find them to be nice and comfortable to use, myself 😅
How did you make it usable? I personally love restoring and making use out of severely-underpowered hardware and still have an old netbook lying around, so I’m curious to hear what you did with yours :o
Oh gee whiz, I’m glad I like communism then 😅
Appendicitis. I described it as feeling like a Chestburster from Alien was gestating inside me and ready to chew its way out of me at any second. I needed near-lethal amounts of painkillers while awaiting surgery to not feel like I was about to die.
For comparison, I broke my foot last year and it still wasn’t anywhere near as painful as appendicitis.
