Certified freak, 7 days a week, eatin your french fries off of the street

I’m a proponent of the theory that the weasel in the LHC is what opened the rift

Yeah, I saw that synopsis under the knowyourmeme result lol. There’s always that one friend/relative. Kind of funny there’s never really been a phrase for it before.

Still, I like the thought of it meaning everyone has that one food they really like and will steal a bite if anyone gets it.

I think I’ve always equated them with the horrendous water shoes I remember as a kid. That, and the look just never said comfort to me. But I’ve felt some fomo in recent years lol

Every now and then I get the feeling there might be something about them. Are they like supremely comfortable? Everyone I see wearing them nowadays seems chill and makes it look like they’re comfy.

Either that or the country has fully devolved into Walmart as Idiocracy foretold.

“Call me Daddy”

I was wondering if “fanatic” ironically could have come from the French language. Looking at the etymology I’m now wondering if “fanum tax” stems from Latin.

I don’t know if blocking all interaction is possible or not. It can be confusing with federation. As far as I understand, instance blocking pertains to posts and not users. You won’t see posts from the instance, but other mutually federated posts can still have comments from the instance’s users.

I’m less clear on how user blocking works, but I imagine you wouldn’t see comments the comments at all in that case. They can still see and interact with your comments/posts (I think), you just won’t see it yourself. You’d probably have to block each user individually since I don’t think Lemmy has that functionality.

There’s a larger cone man out of frame trying to coax the hatchlings across the street

Generally I agree. It feels kind of shoehorned in when desktop is your goal, like more of an afterthought or side effect of the overall focus.

The main thing I hang on to is the code-specified configuration. I never got into managing dotfiles with arch, but that could be a better solution for many people. Especially along with btrfs, numerous containerization options, and whatnot.

I went from Arch to NixOS, so I can offer a bit there.

You definitely won’t want to rely on it until you know a good amount and get comfortable. Things can be made to work, but knowing how to get it done is the main thing most of the time.

Regarding package availability, it’s just a matter of a few oddly esoteric incantations and version controlled code, usually. Binaries are another story but still possible, and python is a special case of that.

It has been an annoyance for me, but I’ve also learned a lot by getting things to work. If you use any niche python stuff you’re bound to run into something. A bunch is already packaged and works fine, though. Either way there’s a bit of extra nuance, which is more to learn.

You don’t have to start with NixOS and can feel it out using nix on any distro. It can be hard to tell if someone will vibe with it. All that said, it could be more than you’re looking to get into, but you can ease into it if you’re interested.

It’s quite a thing, that could only be a product of the 70s. Might make you go “huh?”, and is almost certainly the only context I feel comfortable with the word transvestite today.

For sure. I wasn’t even mad it was rushed and just was stoked to have it on pc. I remember a petition going around cause everybody wanted it so bad.

It was a culture shock when I realized how well later games played lol

To be fair, I did use a controller, so it wasn’t that bad. It even ran way better with the hd mod than the 360 version ever did.

I did get kind of masochistic with it though lol. My last run was a soul level 1 that I think I stopped playing around Anor Londo. If I remember correctly, the archers were rage inducing and I never got back into it. It’s probably still my all-time favorite game, jank and all.

Oh I played the hell out of the Prepare to Die edition of Dark Souls. Keyboard and mouse was the objectively wrong way to play the game lmao

One of the best things I’ve seen in a while

I’m still on bemenu since I used dmenu with dwm on X. I should probably check the others out.

Silly me, I thought it was gay

We’re basically on the same page here. I’m no professional either, and if it were black and white, there’d be no nuances to discuss. Mental health support is key, and like you said it can be hard to even talk about. It’s unfortunately easier to hate than to help.
