I would be too lazy to, unless I eventually encounter my ‘gateway drug’ to i2p.

How odd (and maybe disheartening) to consider that it can be cheaper to fly and expend all the energy need to lift a big metal tube up into the air and back down, than it is to travel along the rails.

Pardon my ignorance, why would those be suspicious?

I’m particular about the temperature at which I eat eggs. Personally couldn’t do cold egg salad at all.

Are you able to source "IoT" cards without ID verification?

Got a job at a BYOD workplace, so I ended up having to repurpose my old devices as my work devices. Fortunately I had many from my hoard to choose from. Still get taken aback when I realize that most of my coworkers have all their work stuff connected to their personal devices without a second thought.

“why dont you just google it smh”

It's fine to watch people critique Linux and compare it with Windows, but in my honest opinion, Mutahar is not worth your time.

I could, probably with green more than red

Yes, I wouldn’t lump yellow in with either red or green

Try installing just plasma-desktop

I use UTC+0 because I don’t like the ideas of timezones and DST.

People who modify their cars to be obnoxiously loud. Makes me wish they’d get sand in their engines and grind their gears down.

Surprisingly good in most cases. Main thing missing for me is support for programs directly talking to USB devices (understandably, the associated driver support is its own can of worms).

1000% agree. Had to install an older version of Pinta because it was also gnomed a while back. While I’ve yet to contribute to open-source projects aside from reporting issues, I’ve got my eyes set on something like libadapta. As soon as one of the programs I use on a daily basis gets gnomed, I’m going all in to soft fork libadwaita and restore as many GTK3 features as I can.

Putting everything I need for a project in a folder with a readme at the top level: Alleviates having to browse or search for files each time I use them Stashing any relevant commands, file paths, tutorial URLs in the readme, even if it looks ugly so I don’t have to keep scrolling through my bash history

Waking up to no headache after feeling gross yesterday due to said headache.

Fossify Calendar and Fossify Notes

We chose from a list where students with earlier birth dates got to choose first. Perhaps a consequence of small school district combined with less commonly-learned language, but after the 3rd year with the same teacher, we tended to revert to our real names, just pronounced with an accent.

I practically never need to. I’ll find a way to make things work one way or another.

Making my phone’s home screen functional. Calendar widget on the left, notes widget on the right, 3 rows of frequently-used apps on the bottom. Went from having no calendar nor a quick place to jot notes, to having a severely overengineered planner with built-in notes that I didn’t actually use and didn’t fit in my pockets, to now finally having my day organized.

One less possible data point for tracking Also not invested enough in my profile to bother

I have heard those terms in the past, albeit not too often

New local. I’m only subscribed to a handful of communities.

It’s definitely one of the ways I fidget when alone. I don’t know if it’s related, but my problem is that sometimes I think my head is upright but it ends up being tilted a bit in photos.

I write a brief journal entry each day. Would have loved to read the day-to-day musings of past generations in my family, so I’d like to do this now for posterity. I even designed a custom printable planner with space for it, Letter/A4 sized so I can easily scan them in once I’m done. It’s just a section of my planner so the context of what I did that day is right there and the limited space keeps me from feeling pressured to write more. Printed out because the digital equivalents never really worked well for me. That only captures a small amount of my life and I’m not big on taking photos, but even a brief daily journal entry takes much discipline, so I won’t push it and risk giving up. While I like to consume documents and photos on paper, I don’t trust it in the long run. Vulnerable to water, fire, UV, and theft. You could say the same for electronic media, but it’s easy to duplicate, encrypt, and verify with checksums (or replace if it fails). All of my photos and documents to date fit within 128gb with room to spare, so I store encrypted copies on hard drives at home, a SSD hidden among cables and chargers at work, on my personal laptop, and in a microSD in my wallet. All verified with btrfs scrub and synced at my leisure. Bought an automatic-feed scanner to gradually digitize the hoard of paper documents and photos I have remaining. I ought to look into digitizing old home VHS tapes from my childhood and backing up the really important stuff to M-Discs sometime, but that’s all I have time for now.

For sure. Mine did fill higher when it was new, but the low water level issue developed a few years in.

A luxury car complete with touchscreens, back when a touchscreen was magical and revolutionary. Car maintenance and privacy concerns have taught me to love the very opposite, a 90s Chevy.

New appliances. A matter of time until the fridge chokes itself since the coils are covered in dust and impossible to reach without tipping the whole fridge over. Also sorely regret replacing the old electromechanical washer instead of repairing it. New one fills with too little water at random and apparently it’s a controller board issue with no easy fix in sight.

Words starting with th- (th-fronting) and plurals ending in -ths, -sps, etc.

Perhaps inflating it with upgrades, but very few original parts remain on my ThinkPad X230. Swapped parts include the motherboard, RAM, SSDs, wireless card, fingerprint reader, keyboard, LCD panel, speakers, cooler, battery, screws, bezel, palmrest, and hinges. The multi-tool pen in my pocket everyday carry too. Originally had ruler markings, Phillips and slotted bits, stylus tip, and a level. Didn’t need the level and wanted it shorter so it fit in my key pouch, so I took all the parts out, sawed off part of the barrel, and put it all back together, sans level. Refills are easily available online or can be crafted simply by popping the ink stick out of a regular ballpoint pen and cutting it short. My 90s Chevy is also very repairable and the parts are still very plentiful. In no mood to get something newer, especially after seeing the engines and touchscreens of some my friends’ newer cars.

Kemove K87 with Red switches and o-rings at work. Keeps noise down and the tenkeyless layout is a nice compromise between desk space and functionality. Might switch it out for an ikbc tenkeyless with Cherry MX Silent Red switches that I got for cheap once. That I purchased to see if something without o-rings would feel better, but I’ll have to fix a couple broken switches first. At home, a no-name tenkeyless with blue switches because that was what was on discount and I didn’t mind the clicking. Before that, I used a Monoprice full-size with brown switches and o-rings to keep the loud pinging down. Miss the feel of the brown switches, but not how much space it took on my desk.

Have been guilty of this when placing an online order, one time I simply forgot, the other time an obligation presented itself and I didn’t have time to go out of my way and pick it up. As for ordering at the counter and abandoning, IDK. Could be having to run for some urgent matter, but I’d agree it happens way too often to be just that.

Wouldn’t be too bummed out about being single forever, but I’d also like to know what it’s like to settle down with a partner. I think I’d prefer the married life, can’t point out the exact reason why though.

Some are assholes. Others have zero self-awareness. I suspect the unnecessary playing of audio out loud in public stems from a very similar cause. Have you noticed this phenomenon increasingly often, or has it been much the same throughout your years?
