Yep, I’m in it for the fun.

Thanks, those are pretty awesome. Glad I’m not the only one overly nostalgic for these old screensavers. Looks like I misremembered the name though, I’ll have to update my documentation.

Glad you like it. I’m trying to figure out if I can get it to function as a screensaver using xautolock. I just need to figure out how to get it to fullscreen the new terminal window opened by my bash script before running asciiskyline.

Similar boat. It helps to have someone who is willing to (kindly and patiently) call you out on it, with the understanding that it’s what you want them to do. Good luck, stay strong and be confident that acknowledging the issue and wanting to change are huge steps you’ve already taken

Ubuntu 8.04, Hardy Heron. I miss loving Ubuntu

I’m in the first camp. Atomic distros sound really neat, but I’m already happy where I am. I wish I could convince the people I work for to stop wanting to jump to some new framework or environment just because it has some neat additional features they didn’t know they wanted until someone tried to sell them on it. I don’t want to keep rebuilding and converting the same project. (And putting any new feature development on hold while we do so. I wonder why it seems like new ideas never get followed through on.)

Heck yeah man, do it

Why should I leave? They’re the ones who suck. I’m not giving any ground

cmus forever!

No thanks, I’m beyond tired of LLM based “AIs”

I need that page loading animation back

Interesting to see one of the founders feeling the same way I and so many other people do about these issues. This world we live in, man.

I continue pulling the plug on Google

Yesterday. My kids and I like to imitate awkward game/MMO character movements so there’s a lot of random jumping.

Agree, but also think it might kind of be a part of what makes it great. Didn’t go so long to get ruined. Gave us just enough to love it and imagine what could have been. Everyone gets to have their own fantasies of where it might have gone next.

Man, I’m just glad to finally see someone else saying they have issues with Fedora. Everyone seems to think it’s amazing and stable but it never lasts more than a few months for me. I don’t do any tinkering or hacking or anything, just web browsing, Python coding, some light gaming with Steam. Arch and Debian both hold up great for me doing the same stuff.

I love ncdu for seeing where all my storage is being taken up.

The first time I used wget I felt so awesome. I was grabbing some extra music files I think it was for Ur-Quan Masters.

Not sure why you got downvoted, assuming you were just pointing out how interesting it is that people in tech tend to be more critical of tech and aware of the issues it can have or cause

To tune out and reset my mental and emotional state: Most anything by Paleowolf

To restore hope and interest in seeking good things from life:

• Rainbow Connection by Kermit the Frog
• Glorious Dawn by Melodysheep
• Nightswimming by R.E.M. (This one can be risky though, sometimes it makes me feel even more nostalgia-sad.)
