Yes, I am. Depending on whom you base your ideas on what art is you can defend the case that art has two main components - its conceptual (the political or other ideas of the artist) and its perceptual part (the craftsmanship).

In this case the conceptual part of the work is completely removed, leaving only the craftsmanship. I see no problem in sharing this, and I see no possible slippery slope here.

In short, just because someone is a fascist does not mean they can't be a good craftsman, and should not be seen and analyzed. Take for example Adolf Dassler's Adidas.

Quite frankly, I would also love to see what the original cartoon looks like. Not because I would agree with it, but because I want to know how extreme rightwingers represent me (or us, I guess). I want to know how their propaganda looks like. And I personally believe we should all know and care about it, if we want to combat it successfully.

I would guess mostly because python interpretes are just about everywhere.

Also the binaries compiled with nuitka end up being much bigger in size. A simple script of a few kb can and up in the hundreds of mb when you start compiling the dependencies, so it's not a perfect solution.

At the time we were watching Stranger things a lot, so I called it demogorgon.

I'm mainly using Budgie lately, and its quite fast, even on older hardware. I would say it feels faster than cinnamon (and much more pleasant to work with imo), but unfortunately it's very unstable.

Well, I made my girlfriend a GUI app that converts subtitles from Windows-1251 to utf-8 encoding so that she doesn't have to remember how to do it. And I didn't even name it after her...

Not only that it's basically everywhere, but even if it's not, you can compile it using something like nuitka and still use it.

Pretty fly for a white guy. It's not really a bad song, but it was really overused in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Americana is a great album, but every time Pretty fly starts playing it ruins it for me.

If you just want to play around with it, I highly recommend some arch based distro (because you can find plenty of obscure TUI apps in the AUR) with a window manager (be it tiling like Qtile or stacking like Openbox).

If you want something preconfigured, I've recently found instantOS, which seems to work fine for that usecase.

I use this small laptop mostly for ebooks (using the excellent epy) and music, using one ot the TUI YouTube frontends.

Can you point me to some of them? I'm quite interested in visual hashing.

Well, we have hashing algorithms that do exactly that, like phash for example.

What would you use this laptop for?

I've dealt with similar hardware, using Qtile over a Manjaro base, but had to mostly use CLI/TUI apps. Anything related to web browsing is a pain.
