People are commenting ‘fates worse than death’ and ‘being made into a labrat by the 1%’, but really, if you have infinite time to just do stuff and you can’t be killed – And you don’t somehow squirrel your way into a position of power then what are you even doing with your time and immortality, oomfie?

The loneliness part is also questionable. I know OP said it’s overly done, but I also think it’s just wrong. If you’re an adult you’ve had people in your life die before. It sucks. You miss them. But then you move on. And you meet other people. You’ll still go “:(” when you think about the person and such… But life goes on.

And that’s just life. It doesn’t get any worse if you extend it longer – If anything it gets better. You might have lost your beloved today, but you have another dozen lifetimes to heal your wounds and meet someone else and fall in love again and (…)

So here’s some lower-stakes, frustrating inconveniences of being immortal:

• Your favourite fashion? It’s not just out of fashion. It’s so out of fashion it is now considered ‘historical costuming’. You can no longer find any articles like it at all. Because the only people even trying to recreate the techniques are costuming nerds and theater people who always exaggerate stuff
• You got a song stuck in your head. It is either from before recording was invented, or any recordings of it that existed are too old to be reliably listenable. You have a song stuck in your head.
• You used to really enjoy a job you did. That entire career path is now obsolete. As per the first paragraph of my post, if you’re immortal you have probably snuck your way into the upper echelons of society at some point during your infinite time… But like. You’re bored. You loved being a Court Jester, now there are no Court Jesters.
• Actually tedium just in general. Sooner or later you’ll run out of new things to try, because you’ll have done everything that even remotely caught your eye already. So what the fuck will you do with your time? You’ll eventually just get depressed and not do anything.

There’s a book I heard about where the main character is immortal. Nevertheless at one point he pisses off some mafia dudes, and they nail him inside a barrel full of urine and throw him in the sea.

Or push it to a file, just in general. That way if something goes tits up you can still check it later.

Which distro

Kardecist Spiritsm

It’s popular in Brazil for some reason.

If my mother’s weird religion is to be believed (it’s not), we chose the earth out of a list of planets. And we’ll get to choose again when we die.

Also Jesus is an alien now. Doing Jesus things in the Andromeda galaxy or some shit.

LONG LIVE THE GIMP BELLPEPPER

There’s a furry using AmigaOS?

… What for?

As long as we’re being arm-chair-y – At the core of being into FOSS is the following thought: “Don’t tell me what I can and can’t do” – Getting into Linux means going out and exploring, deliberately learning something, and all because you don’t want your computer to decide things for you.

… Transgender individuals are similarly breaking out of the “conventional” and making themselves “outsiders”.

It’s not causation, but correlation. Anyone who’s into FOSS will most definitely not be one for conforming to social standards, and transpeople are not people who are conforming to social standards.

My (entirely anecdotal, based on like three human beings who I’m acquainted with) impression is that the Trans-Chick linux user is the neckbeard linux user. She just started HRT in her 30s and lost a lot of weight.

Windows: Just four blue squares

Apple: Same shape, no colour whatsoever

Linux: 🏳️‍⚧️

I am comfortably millenial.

I still do this.

Glasses are a pain in the arse, man.

Similar vibe, but I think ‘marxism’ is not the only conclusion from realising how much megacorps control our world. I’m more of a left-anarchist myself :U
