fuck the media. fuck the markets.

There’s a new accessibility framework being started by a Gnome developer very recently.
Which means, best case scenario where it’s perfect and other desktops buy in, it will roll out to traditional desktop users in half a decade at the earliest.
No feelings either way, I started using X since the last millennium and have been on Wayland without problems (Gnome or sway, never anything more than integrated graphics card) for about four years now.
But I really wish there was an fvwm for Wayland. And Window Maker.
This gives Kryten vibes.
I’m challenging myself to use it as my only laptop browser for a month. It’s not bad but it seems slow compared to Firefox.
I last used Epiphany probably 20 years ago. Galeon for a bit before that. The situation back then was reversed; those browsers were much faster than the full Mozilla Suite with which they shared a rendering engine.
Koyaanisqatsi
Probably still Firefox. The web is shit.
There was a KDE theme recently that was deleting home folders
I used all of these at some point.
I used to prefer ThinkPads but I’ve moved on. I have had lots of reliability problems with them over the past few years. I had keys fall off a newer ThinkPad keyboard (which wasn’t user replaceable) and another new ThinkPad just die under warranty and the repair person damaged it further when trying to fix it.
I am on System76 now and have no issues and they do good things like right to repair and Coreboot.
If I had to choose a single laptop for everything, it would be the Toughbook 40. I have one for work and it has a 1200 nit display. It runs Ubuntu LTS perfectly. It costs several thousand dollars new but has swapable components, multiple batteries, and part availability is measured in decades. You can get an older CF-31 or CF-54 for a few hundred dollars and still find new components for it.
Swastikas painted on our house when I was a kid.
Kids yell in the public park tell me that I have to go back. When pushing my son in a stroller.
Getting told that I will have to pay for stuff when I pick it up at the store at Dollywood, like I don’t know how a merchant economy works.
Had to fight a lot in the feral public school system growing up. All the ching chong jokes.
Being referred to as “chowie” by a prominent basketball scout while in high school.
Being asked if I eat dogs by my boss. In 2023.
Being asked if my mom was an Asian whore by another boss. In 2018.
Being told that I’m not Asian and that some white girl looks more Asian than me and how can I even claim to be Asian when I don’t have squinty eyes?
Jokes about my ancestry when they can’t place me.
Being pulled into secondary every time I travel through Paris CDG because I always get flagged. And one Securitas security officer telling me that Americans will never accept me as American when I finished.
Dating scene as a teen, everything going well, then meeting the parents, then being told I wasn’t allowed to date their white daughter anymore. Like clockwork. Which is fine, they can’t handle the spice in my food anyway.
Endeavour sway edition was great at this.
Mess with the best, Die like the rest.
Debian.
If you want to try something different, maybe LMDE.
More time has passed since this song came out, than the “Back in the Day” span of time that 2004 Mustaine was singing about.
I left OpenBSD reluctantly when I found that it wasn’t meeting my needs anymore. I needed an iPad Pro and an iPhone to fill in the missing functionality and they don’t play nice with OpenBSD for things like transferring files, photos, etc.
I’ve since converted the family to Debian stable. Backports and flatpak make it incredibly reliable. We can do everything from here and its well documented for every use case. Video chats, zoom conference calls, file sync/sharing, bluetooth music through Spotify, etc. Started with buster when it was the stable distro; jumped early to bullseye during the freeze; and now holding onto bookworm.
There were/are some really good Asian and Asian-American communities on Reddit that didn’t follow typical discourse. IYKYK.
Some of those groups are replicated on Lemmy, but are completely empty of content.
Until recently, TikTok was filling that role for me, but it seems it is starting to get more “appropriate” for American audiences as I think they are finally playing the game. Lots of “Jesus” and “white guy with microphone” popping up on my feed there now. The same thing happened to Youtube about 15 years ago so there’s nothing new under the sun.
Gutenberg was a grifter. He stole money from people, sometime his own family, and ran up debts that he couldn’t pay.
The only reason that he started printing bibles and became religious was because he was going to be thrown in prison for swindling people out of money, and it’s a bad look to throw someone in prison who prints the word of God. In fact, most of what we know about Gutenberg comes from his court documents.
Also movable type and the printing press were already known in Europe and had already been invented in East Asia several hundred years earlier than Gutenberg. (the first printed texts date back to 700 CE and movable type prints around 1000 CE, both in modern China). It was nothing new.
North Carolina is gerrymandered to hell.
