I had Dakka Squadron on my wish list, so I got that. My wallet remains undamaged.

Most of it sounds fine, but doubling down on the indefensible behavior of the PPB without without a complete shake up is a hard pass for me.

Edit: Also, expecting a revitalized downtown core when many of the people that funded it are still working remote is not realistic. I know Teargas Ted wants to push everyone back into their cubicles, but I'd really rather see more ambitious plans for pivoting to mixed use spaces to simultaneously bring population into the core and take the pressure off the housing crisis instead of trying to mandate a return to a nonsensical prior normal that most people don't want.

I did this way back in the day on my Mandrake installation with a 1.44" floppy. Only tricky part was that I had to run cp from the floppy instead of from normal $PATH as I'd wiped out /bin.

Looks to me like a smirk on a Kirk on a jerk.

Windows doesn't let me have a desktop cube or have my windows burn up or be torn apart by claws when closed.

Sure, I also like the GNOME workflow and the open source ethics and repositories and the like, but my inner 12 year old likes the eye candy, too.

Yeah, same experience on Wayland + GNOME for me. I want it to work, but stuff just breaks too often for me to accept at this point. How much of that is Wayland and how much of it is other things failing to work properly with it is kind of immaterial. Regardless, I'll happily jump ship when it's more baked, but now isn't that time.

The important bit not mentioned here is that FW machines are both user serviceable and user upgradable. No need to eat the cost or create the waste of replacing a perfectly good chassis and display, and then sell off the replaced mainboard on the market.

I had a positively epic one with a bourbon caramel at Pine State. Absolutely worth a shot.

As someone with an SP8 running Garuda, I would really recommend going with an Android tablet l with a keyboard ike a Lenovo P11 rather than a Linux device for your use case. The truth is that x86 devices just aren't that great when it comes to power management, Linux is hit and miss when it comes to suspend functionality, and the stylus / handwriting implementation is typically pretty poor. You can make it work, but you'll be compromising a lot of functionally.

Hell, I miss LiveJournal more than I miss reddit. /old

Basically, think of ritual but focused on the participants' state of mind target than any belief in or expectation of any external / supernatural results. Intentionality, focus, change in perspective, mental / emotional cues, etc.

Dirigibles! Solar on top, hydrolysis for lifting gas, electric and wind for propulsion. Just don't cover the skin in rocket fuel this time...
