Sure you harpsichord! Anyone harpsichord do it!

I don’t think this is the right community for it…

That’s right,

A third person is about to show up and express mild interest, then they will wander off for a drink, but then return and ask to have the rules explanation start over…

I dont have time to build and maintain a curated offline library like I used to.

I’m sorry for your loss. I’m sure the high seas legitimate DRM free music purchases will welcome you back when you have time again.

Raspberry Pi with Android Open Source Project is the best privacy option. It’s quite a bit of work to get tuned, but nice afterward.

I tolerate continued existence out of a morbid sense of curiosity.

That’s beautiful, in it’s own way.

I felt that way at one point. It led me, eventually, to moments that I later decided mattered very much, to me.

If I hadn’t had that morbid curiosity, I’m not sure I would have made it to those moments I now cherish.

Here’s to morbid curiosity!

Is openSUSE and Neovim ok?

Excellent choice. You’re going places!

We accept everyone here*

I like this better.

The threaded conversations allow a useful interesting discussion to continue, even after some random person’s comment details half the participants.

What’s up with the Rust hate?

The Rust community keeps trying to rewrite key pieces of Linux that aren’t broken.

They probably have the right idea, in the long run, but it’s still fun to give them a hard time about it.

I expect that’s why the internet’s been falling apart lately.

I’m sure it is.

It’s been interesting to see people not really getting angry about it, yet.

I don’t recall the doctor being green, though?

Thank you for your service.

And my axe!

C: Cheddar?

O: No. We don’t get much call for it.

C: But it’s the single most popular cheese in the world!

O: Not around here, sir.

Makes me suspect they have some lawyers on staff who were able to read America’s laws -b which read to a lay-lerson as ‘we absolutely always spy on everything you host on our soil’.

a picture of Reagan with quotes of how Russia is the enemy, and tariffs are bad for everybody.

That’s particularly good.

Lots of folks replying don’t seem believe in self empathy.

That makes me sad.

Self empathy is the foundation of empathy toward others.

The golden rule - treat others as I want to be treated - only really became effective, for my friends, after I learned to treat myself well.

Is self empathy distinct from self pity?

Absolutely.

Pity is when I wallow in how unfair everything is to me.

Empathy is when I realize I genuinely got dealt a shit hand, then give myself some time to recover, and then get on with life.

so what’s the fucking point?

I’ve heard that covering up abhorrent crimes takes special amounts of money.

But maybe they’ll release the Epstein files any day now to prove that rumor wrong, and we can all relax.
