Absolutely insane read. Thanks for sharing, although I’m still very stuck on Phillip’s personality. It sounds like he was rather inclusive, yet was a real shitbag outside the table?
Just a guy. Just a fella.

I had a similar experience on my laptop. I tried Ubuntu which broke after trying to throw on Nvidia drivers (using the official docs). I tried Mint and Debian, both of which couldn’t detect my laptop’s wifi card (after hours of trying to fix - apparently a common issue but the fixes did not work for me!). I landed on Fedora, worked great. I’m now on EndeavourOS, but Fedora was the stepping stone I needed.
My desktop I built recently is Bazzite, which is Fedora based and I love it.
There is a long-standing history of using fried chicken and watermelon (among other foods) to negatively depict Black People in the United States. I agree that both foods are excellent (watermelon even being a popular summertime fruit that can feed a lot of people), but having them together on Juneteenth (a day of celebration for the freedom of Black People) is pretty on the nose.
I know a few people who work for companies that acknowledge and give time off for Juneteenth. My company is not such a company, though.
Spectrum, even, treats Juneteenth like any other federal holiday, like Christmas or Thanksgiving. It’s basically a volunteer-first, lottery system for who gets time off and who has to work, but those that work get extra holiday pay and the call centers try and do something extra (like catering) for those that are working.
According to my friend who works there, it was red drink.
Back in the early days I found Firefox to be clunkier and slower than Chrome, which was the reason for my using Chrome for well over a decade. But since Chrome became Google’s My Little Spyware, I’ve moved back to Firefox and it’s so much better. More stable, better customization, and way more privacy focused.
Someone else said it but yeah, this feels like astroturfing.
I’ve got to +1 to Bazzite. I had tons of issues with Debian and its derivatives, but Bazzite works flawlessly out of the box. I use an AMD GPU but it has out-of-box support for Nvidia, I hear.
Sorry this isn’t an answer to your problem. I had similar issues when toying with Debian and Linux Mint on my laptop (Nvidia GPU). Ultimately I gave up and put EndeavourOS on it, which worked perfectly as well.
Cool survey. Hope you get the desired number of participants.
What are some alternatives? I’ve heard Tidal is one of the better ones. I’m not necessarily opposed to piracy/ripping my CD collection + self-hosted streaming, but if I can pay someone else for the convenience I’d rather do that.
Do any services have a comparable family plan too?
Metallica spearheaded the movement against the music sharing platform Napster back in the day. Lars Ulrich in general was a big opponent of music piracy. (Although, apparently he has since chilled out a bit).
He’s also just not a good drummer.
I guess he’s not that bad, all things considered. Just don’t like the guy.
Hell, I wish my downloads took money directly from him. He sucks.
This looks rad! I love gamifying life 😅
Signed up, and I hope to support this soon! I wish the development process well!
Got any tips or tidbits for Nobara? I’m heavily considering installing it onto my new PC when I build it in a week. I’m a noob at Linux but it seemed perfect for everything I’m looking to do on my PC.
The Mastodon instance I’m on (wetdry.world) has HUNDREDS of users. Don’t use an instance like mastodon.social and you’ll have a better time.
There are active KKK chapters in NC. There is also a Proud Boys presence here (they’re known to wear masks).
I wonder, will they be exempt from this? (I know the answer, of course. Republicans will protect their own.)
I have no clue why you’re being downvoted so much. I understood exactly what you were trying to convey and I agree with you.
It’s rare, but as a long-haired (cis) male, someone might refer to me as ma’am or miss. It hasn’t happened since I worked retail 7 or 8 years ago.
Admittedly, I don’t have many trans folks in my life to refer to. If I see someone and their gender is ambiguous, I default to they/them pronouns. I don’t think I’ve ever offended anyone from misgendering them. I try to respect people and their identities. Hell, I don’t even like misgendering dogs 😅
In middle school, I had an incident where a kid a grade above me (he was held back, so he should’ve been a high schooler by this point and was HUGE) began to mess with me, unprompted, at the end of the day.
He stepped on my shoes as we walked, poked me, called me names, etc. When I turned around and called him a bitch and kept walking, he sucker punched me and ran. It was so bad I ended up in the emergency room with stitches.
Anyways, my parents were called and they threatened legal action. The school begged them not to, because they were “going to take care of it, we promise.” Once we found out he was only suspended for a week, my parents got all the info they needed to press charges for assault. He ended up in juvie.
Looking back, it’s a shame he ended up “in the system,” but that’s what he gets for being a bitch. Lol
I’ve seen it now. I wish I hadn’t…
What a fascinating character he is. Again, thanks for sharing and I’m sorry you had to deal with this nonsense. At least you got a good story out of it!
