Turned a trash-picked Pentium ThinkCentre (tiny) into a Steam Link box for couch co-op today. And this is my most "Mastodon" Mastodon post ever.

No, Reddit, I do not want to download your app. I can set to view in Desktop Mode and pinch zoom to read stuff ALL DAY.

"The only difference is there’s some anatomical differences between us and a dog."

They've always felt this way about enlisted folk, but saying it outloud is quite jarring.

Turns out the TV show Knight Rider's fiction wasn't that a billionaire would create an AI-powered, self-driving car and recruit an ex-cop to partner with it.

The real fiction was that they'd use their tech and power to help people.

"Maybe that thing is finally dead," I said to myself yesterday as I hacked through the jungle of invasive shrubs that encroach along my fence line. It's a youngish mulberry that had nothing green on it. Today? Full leaves and stringy seedpods. In less than 24 hours. That is some sinister shit.

Space Ghost Coast to Coast, but in Michigan and four times as long. I watched the whole thing and laughed *a lot*.

One guess as to which distro has gone goofy now. #archlinux

I was away from my computers for a week. #Debian updates: 39
#CachyOS updates: 311

#Linux is a beautifully diverse ecosystem.

@lopta Agreed. The installer is familiar, and they've done a nice job of making the terminal less intimidating.

@lopta if you want to try an Arch spin, EndeavourOS has the DE you want and a helpful community in my experience.
